    Question about Best Brown Flake

    Judging by your initial post, I think you hit the nail on the head. I will say, as a fan of BBF, I agree with Hoosier. BBF is definitely milder, probably due to the fact that it has a fair amount of burley....good burley too.

    Not to derail the Christmas thread shenanigans....

    This. Agree 100%. EMP is a frequent go-to for me, and it took me a bit to figure out how to smoke it just right. When I did, it was night and day. Slow and steady is the key with this one.

    Looks Like Lucky Streak is Over

    I just saw your location....love it! We were just going on earlier this month about Irma and the PTSD she left us with, and now this. These storms suck, and I'm more annoyed at the amount of stuff I have to do now to get ready for it than anything else, but it's the price we pay to live in FL.

    War Horse Bar

    I'd say they're in the same ballpark. Similar constituent tobaccos, if I recall. War Horse may be more heavily topped, at least to me. Probably a heavier dose of the DFK in 1792. For me, they scratch the same itch. YMMV.

    Peterson 2022 Christmas Pipe

    I love Christmas pipes, and have picked up a Pete every year since 2019. This year, I may get a Sav St Nick.

    In Case You Missed It....

    I got a notification that Louisiana Flake was in stock. By the time I got to the site shortly afterwards, it was gone.

    The Official 2022 Stanley Cup Playoff Thread

    Given Vasy's record over the last 2 years in games following a playoff loss, I'd agree with you 100%. At least, that's what I'm hoping to see.

    The Official 2022 Stanley Cup Playoff Thread

    I am pulling for the Lightning but feel like this year will be a stretch. Top line is hot, but D has been suspect down the stretch. Definitely some good matchups in the East.

    Cannot Seem to Shake Off Conjunctivitis: Any Suggestions?

    I've never heard of fungal conjunctivitis, but have seen corneal infections that were fungal (nasty). Maybe you meant viral? Either way, I'd agree that 10 months is a long time. Bacterial conjunctivitis usually presents with beefy red eyes coupled with a nasty greenish mucousy discharge and...

    Recommend a Blend

    Since you're on to the HH line, HH Burley Flake is a good one. Also, Mac Baren's Dark Twist.

    Graphic Warning! Got a Needle in my Eye Today!

    You essentially had a stroke to a peripheral retinal blood vessel. Glad you were able to catch it early and get treated, the medications available today work wonders when treated early. Was this a one-and-done injection or do you have to return for a series?

    Went to see Eric Church last night in Tampa, so today I've been listening to the playlist I created based on last night's setlist.

    SmokingPipes Down?

    Same, but it's ridiculously slow and keeps timing out. It took me over 30 minutes to complete a purchase. Just be warned - it frequently goes in to 'Service Unavailable'. I was afraid to check out, and did get thrown that error message after trying, but thankfully I checked my email before...

    Sutliff Bananas & Creme ??

    OK, I'm going to admit that I've tried this. Got a 1 oz sample off of TP a few months back. I was rather unimpressed. The bag note was nice but hardly transferred over to taste. Had maybe a handful of bowls before I decided to rid myself of it.
