    Watch City Cigar “None Of Your Business”

    There’s some cavendish and some Virginia and some perique and truly a faint amount of Latakia. It’s beautifully topped with something that tastes a little like blueberry. I typically do not like Latakia but I like it in Bob’s Chocolate Flake and I like it here. It really is, per the description...

    Found This Very Large Piece Of Burley

    This is a first for me. Quarter shown for scale. Came out of a 4 ounce bag of delicious Sutliff J-4 Burley. Just thought I’d share.

    Anyone Smoke A White Elephant Pipe?

    While perusing the online pipe world, as one does, I came across the White Elephant “Sahara” pipe. As far as I know it’s unique in that it comes with a graphite insert which apparently has some qualities that make it real easy to smoke tobacco in. Anyway, just looking for tales of experience...

    Correlation Between Grain And Performance?

    Greetings all. Is boring/flat/plain grain indicative of poor performance? Are pipes with “pretty” and pronounced grain better smokers and/or “tastier” pipes? Just curious.

    Milan Tobacconist in Roanoke VA “Our” Blends

    I’ve never had Carter Hall or Prince Albert but I did try some ounces of “Our” Carter Hall and “Our” Prince Albert from Milan Tobacconist in Roanoke VA. They’re both super easy going, sweet, burley based codger blends that easily yield lots of flavorful smoke that’s easy to retrohale and enjoy...

    Madison Cigar Club in Madison TN

    Pretty cool inventory at my local B&M today. Not a large amount but several ghosts like CRF, Sammy G blends, and Pipe Force among others. Give these pics a zoom if you feel like it. The tin prices were bonkers so I bought 2 ounces each of 507 and Match Ready Rubbed which is fantastic.

    How Does One Purchase From PipeStud?

    It’s 10:08 am here in Nashville and @pipestud is 95% sold out which is amazing for him but a giant bummer for me. How do people buy pipe tobaccco on the Pipe Stud website? Is there some kind of coding thing or trick I’m unaware of? Obviously others are doing it at a superhuman speed and I...

    Should I Be Concerned About This Draft Hole?

    I just got this 2023 Peterson Christmas pipe. The draft hole looks like it’s way off. Should I return this? Are more pics needed? If so, what exactly can I photograph to better illustrate the seemingly way off center draft hole? Please advise. Thank you.

    Watch City Old Dominion Tins

    They JUST went on sale. They’re not cheap but I suspect they’ll be incredible. If you like VAPer and have a little coin to spare, you’d be a silly goose to skip this.

    Elliston Smoke Shop in Nashville Is Gone

    Another one bites the dust. According to their Facebook page, they closed at the end of January.

    Eldritch Pipes Sleek Bulldog

    This is the second one he made. He hates making them. He made a custom stem color for me. Smokes like a dream.

    Now THIS Is Mold

    Hello all. Just wanted to post this picture of moldy tobacco as a potential reference for folks that might see stuff they think is mold but aren’t sure. This is what moldy baccy looks like.

    Hello all. @Mortamyhr and I have planned the next Nashville Pipe Meetup. It will be on the back patio at Rosie’s Twin Kegs on Thompson Lane in Nashville, Tennessee on November 18 at 130 pm. Last time we brought tobacco to share so I hope we can do it again this time. Bring baggies and a...

    Madison Cigar Club in Nashville Area

    All sorts of small batch and limited edition tins in addition to old favorites. Doesn’t look like much til you zoom in.

    Nashville B&M Is Stocked

    Madison Cigar Club is currently well stocked with pipe tobacco. States of Virginia, 3 Birds of a Feather blends, Escudo, DNR, lots of Seattle Pipe Club and others. If you’re in Nashville and feel like supporting a local spot, go there. I got a tin of Ashton’s Gold Rush from 2019 and a tin of...

    Rich’s in Portland, Oregon

    Went to Rich’s. Great, high end spot especially compared to the offerings in Nashville. Location 1 had a tin of Samuel Gawith Best Brown flake just sitting there so of course I bought it. Off to location #2. I feel a minor case of PAD coming on.

    1:1:1 Sutliff Stoved VA, Sutliff Sweet VA, C&D Bayou Morning

    Pretty good. Wish I had my Sutliff Red VA handy because that would have been good here too. I combined 1 gram each of all 3 elements. It’s honestly a little bitey but I’ve smoked worse.

    LJ Peretti #8 Slices

    Sweet. Sometimes a little spicy. A little sour/funky. A touch of smoke but not Latakia style, something else I can’t place. Earthy, rich, absolutely delicious in every pipe I’ve smoked it in which, admittedly, is only a handful of various cobs. It comes in thick, Sutliff style crumble cakes...
