    Warhorse Bar Green

    Exactly my experience! Something satisfying after a meal that would smell nice in the car.

    Pipe Collection Update

    Nice looking collection you have. A HCA is on my list to find in the near future. But yeah, you have some great looking pipes.

    After One Year of Smoking…

    Nothing wrong with that at all. I agree with you on Savinelli. And Escudo makes most people happy.

    Warhorse Bar Green

    It's I guess technically it's an aromatic. But it's not like a nice happy licorice. It's more a darker deeper anise. And very tobacco after the about the first 1/4 or so. If you like those heavily flavored British tobaccos, check out G&H Broken Flake 7. It's a Lakeland burley.

    Mix it Up or Knock it Back?

    I mix it up. I smoke what I feel like when I feel like it. Sometimes they repeat, sometimes not. It depends upon the moment.

    Paintball.

    I tried a few times with my cousins. They were very into it. It was very shortly after I got back from war and the idea of running around the woods shooting people seemed a little uncomfortable for me. I did leave my cousins a little gift though. The army field manual on small group maneuvers...

    Best Star Trek Film

    2 and 4 are my favorites. Although 3 is right up there.

    Vincent Manil Le Petit Robin

    That's ok. Bringing attention to semois is not a bad thing. Unless it makes his tobacco harder to find.

    Exposing Tobacco to Tobacco Smoke

    You're both wrong. Jim Keltner.

    MM Cob Love

    I love my cobs. Nothing like a well worn Country Gentleman full of Carter Hall with that first cup of coffee. I'm admit there is no better doing other things pipe than the humble cob. In a boat rocking 5 foot swells trying to horse in a black drum, it's a cob. Between my teeth as I'm feeding...

    New Favorites for 2024?

    I'm not ready to call it a "New Favorite" just yet. But I have some 1 year old Newminister Superior Navy Flake that I can't seem to stay out of.

    How Many Open Blends?

    Ooh! Great question! The answer is...it depends. I keep my rotation far from my cellar. There's a floor and a half between my rotation, my open tins and jars and pipes, and my cellar in the basement. And 4/5 of my cellar is bulk that's been jarred up. A couple times a year I'll go through my...

    How Much is Too Much?

    10 is more than I smoke, but not by much. As long as you're happy with it the rate, if you enjoy your smokes, if other responsibilities are being met, and loved ones aren't staging interventions it's not too much. Really, "too much" or "excessive" are relative terms. Everything else about this...

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2024?***

    Newminister Oriental Pipe Cut in a MM Country Gentleman. Time in a cellar (1-3/4 years) helped out. Still very mild, but a more flavorful mild.

    80+ Tobacco Sampler; Help Develop My Palette

    I like your data driven approach. It makes a lot of sense. However, I worry that you might rely too much on the data points. 6 months in a jar can change things. 6 months more experience will as well. Not to mention weather, food, pipe smoked, how you're generally feeling when you light up...

    Pipe Tobacco Recommendations for Camel Non-filter Smoker

    Exactly what are you looking for in pipe tobacco? I ask because I had initially tried to use pipe to transition away from cigarettes (also camels). It didn't work. I was trying to use a pipe to get the same effect as a cigarette. Pipe tobaccos don't work that way unless you roll them up and...

    Pipe Collection

    Ask 10 different pipe smokers this and you'll get 14 different answers. And here's mine. Some people love collecting brands, they'll have racks and racks filled with a single brand or carver. Others love a certain shape, you'll see 85 princes from 53 different brands. Maybe you want a rack...

    Warhorse Bar Green

    Grandpa strength anise! Yeah, that's very fair to say. A Lakeland type essence, a non floral "sauce". And as I smoke more of it, I find that I like it the way I like Lakelands. I do like them. When I'm in the mood for it, nothing else will do. But if I'm not in the mood for it, just no.

    No! Philips heads are the ones you don't want to use. That baby food jar full of nails, though...

    Which Tobacco Leaves Your Favorite Mustache Note?

    Cool! I have a tin of that. I'll have to open it and see. Thanks.
