    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2025?***

    Bowl of some miscellaneous Hogwarts plug that I came across in a forgotten about jar on my office shelf in this short 19th century Austrian 'Cutty' nose warmer with amber stem and silver repair work done by Northern Briars about seven years ago.

    Tobacco Reviews Website Down

    All of the above maybe true. I am not sure about a tobacco with undertones of jock strap as it raises more questions than it answers. It is in the same galaxy as describing a tobacco as reminiscent of squirrel farts since you have to wonder how the author knows what a squirrel smells like after...

    Lots of Smokes in a can of Prince Albert

    Three Sails is a very good RYO and I buy a 1lb of it for my mate in Florida every month so he can roll cigarettes out of the stuff. I don't really smoke cigarettes these days and really have not in thirty odd years. I am told it was meant to taste like Three Castles but they could never get...

    Lots of Smokes in a can of Prince Albert

    @mingc : Here is some Three Castles pornography for you as it was my favorite RYO growing up! I cracked this tin the other year and shared it with a few chums on here. I was lucky enough to find another tin earlier this year that cost me $350.00 and is going to get cracked on my friends birthday!

    @Briar Lee: Interesting observation!

    Lots of Smokes in a can of Prince Albert

    @Briar Lee: Well you have answered one question. OCB cigarette papers are without gum and the only way to get them to stay rolled is to crimp the end of the cigarette in the fashion you have shown. I preferred Wheat Straw papers back in the day since they also did not have gum and relied on the...

    Tobacco Reviews Website Down

    TR is/was sort of interesting since it reviewed certain blends that were available at the time but now are out of production. I remember someone reviewed the original Gallaghers War Horse Bar on TR since they must have got their hands on some early 1980s product when it was still being...

    Lots of Smokes in a can of Prince Albert

    @Briar Lee: Slightly off topic but the old pocket tins used to say that the tobacco was 'Crimp Cut' for ease in rolling your own cigarettes. I have had the odd unopened can of P.A from the 1970s come my way over the years that claimed on the tin that you could use it in pipes or for RYO and I...

    Pesse Canoe at SmokingPipes

    @woodsroad : Does it burn down to a fine white ash? Is it an all day smoke? Does it leave a lot of moisture at the bottom of the bowl? Has Jim Inks reviewed it yet? rotf

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2025?***

    I am glad it is not just me. I cannot for the life of me get anything Cherry out of this rope even when I chew the stuff. It's practically fire proof but when thinly sliced and the addition of moister it becomes quite smokable but still leaves me scratching my head.

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2025?***

    Worked my way through another bowl of this Black Cherry. It seems to benefit from being cut very fine and the addition of a humidity block in the jar and the rope is now a bit more springy and I am certainly getting the good old nicotine smoothy effect in the bottom of the bowl. In terms of...

    Is Gawith and Hoggarth/ Sam Gawith the new Esoterica?

    @Chasing Embers : 250g boxes you say? I would watch out for the drone with a grappling hook floating around outside your smoking area Duane as you might get raided by Jim Inks! rotf

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2025?***

    Black Cherry Twist in a small size meerschaum 'Cutty' pipe circa turn of the century. This has to be one of Hogwarts more interesting creations. It has no noticeable Black Cherry topping, granted it might all have evaporated before the coil of rope got into my hands. At this point it tastes to...

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2025?***

    A beautiful morning, cool with bright sunshine. I see that the 'What are You Smoking' section of our universes little odometer is spinning around as it will through the whole month of June and as it does every month! It is nice that some things never change and remain ever constant. Today I am...

    Dan Tobacco Salty Dogs No Taste?

    It's alright if you like that sort of thing. I have a pot load of the stuff I got in a trade with someone on here years ago. It really doesn't do an awful lot for me but YMMV and I have met folks who think it is the greatest thing ever produced!

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2025?***

    @Choatecav: Probably pre-1900. Looking at its general layout I would say it is from sometime in the mid-1890s and almost certainly not later than before WW1. What is interesting I was unaware the H.C made any meerschaum pipes but a Comoy expert on here assures me they actually did so what do I...

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2025?***

    Smoking a bowl of Grannies 'Underwear Drawer' again also known to those of us in the know as Cannon Plug or the orgasmic Rose Geranium stuff that ghosts the crap out of any pipe old or new. My choice of tobacco incineration instrument this evening is a meerschaum H.C (Henri Comoy) meerschaum...

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2025?***

    CCP in a small 1890s meerschaum 'Cutty' pipe whilst I plan brunch. I am thinking of having a 'Ring Burner' for lunch which is good old English slang for curry! rotf

    What's For Breakfast?

    For me breakfast has to be beans. Preferably 15 bean stew properly soaked with the bean water recycled into the beans. It needs a little ham hock or beacon and needs to be cooked over night in crock using chicken stock so it is reduced down to a soupy consistency. With a fried egg this is a...

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2025?***

    Don't you just love the names they give these tobaccos. I am waiting for a small batch release of 'Scraping's of Baggins Scrotum' or 'Gandalfs Summer Kling On Rolls' at best an absolute must buy from your local purveyor of bulk blends before the FDA Tobacco Deeming hammer falls on your head...
