    Don't Overlook Drying Time

    For beginners I wanted to share to not overlook the importance of drying time. Especially for Virginias. I have been smoking for 3+ years and always pulled the tobacco out of tin and loaded it. I have selected a lot of my favorites this way. Recently I started pulling out a few bowls first...

    Any Home Recipes?

    Hello Pipers I have an infinity bag of left overs and was thinking of trying something at home. Initial thought is letting an ounce hydrate up a dram of my favorite whiskey. Does sweet things like molassis or honey hydrate well? Any good recipes out there?

    YABO Fun

    I hope this does not come across as bragging but I get to buy tobacco every 6 months. $200 limit, so $400 per year is my budget. I just open my first box of 2024 and am so excited. Its like Christmas morning.

    My Lent Regret

    Folks not making this up. 2 years ago i did not drink whiskey and only on occasion a beer or wine or margarita. Then i watched this story (see link) and due to some cardio issues i decided to give it a try. I never drink more than 1.5 to 2.0 ounces (1 dram) after dinner. I have learned to...

    My Lent Regret

    I know we should gladly sacrifice for lent and my wife convinced me to give up french fries and soft drinks. Unfortunately because she was doing the same plus she was giving up sweets she pressed me to give up something else. She dictated 3 choices. Sweets, Whiskey, or Pipe. This was...

    Winter Weather Challenge

    Fellow pipers here in Houston it’s 28 degrees, cloudy, and windy and while I could suit up in winter clothing for a smoke I just don’t care for the cold. If it were sunshine and no wind I would but not today. I am sure I am a wimp compared to all of you in North US, Canada, Scandinavia...
