    Old school DnB. And here's Aphex Twin with the great Chris Cunningham - Rubber Johnny - Afx237 v.7 Monkey Drummer:

    What Are You Listening To? - December 2022

    Something I can relate to. Who can't?! It's primal. It's day time. The Song Of Man.

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2022?***

    Chocolate in clay, yeah that's about right. Orange Whip? Orange Whip? Two Orange Whips! And four fried chickens and a coke. Full birds. One soiled.

    Keeping Tobacco Fresh

    Rum, however cheap. Better than distilled or regular water any time. It's decent stuff, you can get drunk as well.

    Give it here, I'll eat it.

    What are Your Hobbies?

    Staying drunk, smoked, strong and fed. Pretty much in that order.

    Pipe storage ideas

    I recently upgraded from cigar box to pipe cabinet. It has more tchotchkes than pipes but hey, there's plenty of room to improve. I especially like that new working area I can "fold out". Plenty of room to spread out anything. And it offers a lot of room for other stuff. When it's time for...

    What Are You Listening To? - December 2022

    Canned Heat - Let's Work Together Here's two hours of Antarctic Weddell seal sounds. If that's not Pink Floyd I just don't know anymore. Oft denk' Ich, sie sind nur ausgegangen - Kindertotenlieder - Gustav Mahler For Harris, our cigar master. I often think they have only gone out! I often...

    Sad News, Harris Has Passed

    Oh man... 65? I never knew him, just disagreed with one of his posts but still. This really saddens me. He seemed genuine all the way through. My heartfelt condolences to his friends and family. And Harris, do rest in peace! Let's all light a pipe for him.

    That's some good stuff, thanks for the effort and for sharing!

    My Pipe Tobacco Concoctions

    I haven't seen that one before, thanks! I still haven't tried any flue cured tobaccos, there's a lot to taste and learn even before getting into sauces.

    My Pipe Tobacco Concoctions

    The "Clay King" blend... So far the most expensive blend I've done. Recap: Viking mead from Haithabu, infused with lemon peel and soaked over night. I took this to spray down the nicest Virginia Gold Lemon leaves I have around. It left an aroma but it I consider it a failure. Never go light on...

    My Pipe Tobacco Concoctions

    I figured I'd make a thread about this so I can get into more detail and people can ask questions and give opinions, all without disturbing the What Are You Smoking thread. So please feel free to ask if a question comes up, I don't have any secrets and want this to be as transparent as it can...

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2022?***

    The last of my mead soaked VA sample and would you look at that, a feisty little flake has survived. The rest will get a second and proper coating today. I think I lost my Czech, can't find the damn thing anywhere. I never smoked a pipe without my Czech, I feel like my woman got kidnapped or...

    I'm Back!

    Down in the Mexicali There's a crazy little place that I know Where the drinks are hotter than the chili sauce And the boss is a cat named Joe He wears a red bandana, plays a cool piana In a honky tonk, down in Mexico He wears a purple sash and a black moustache In a honky tonk, down in...

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2022?***

    On this day, ten years ago, my grandfather died from cancer and the family got together to remember a great husband, father and grandfather. A great man who never had much but gave with two hands, the church was packed with people when he was laid to rest. I feel like a bowl of straight VA in...

    THE SHORT, SHORT SMOKE.

    I smoke a lot of raw leaf and I guess that's as "English" as it can be. Yeah, the untreated/unsauced tobaccos burn fast and don't stay lit all that well, it depends more on the way the tobacco is cut at that point. At least that's my experience. But you can also pack it tighter and fit in more...

    Underrated Blends?

    Brigg Regular. 5 bucks for 50g/1.7oz and it's an all around mild and pleasant smoke. I was going to make it my every day smoke until I started to mess with raw leaves. Add a pouch to your shopping cart next time you order pipe tobacco from a German shop. It won't blow you out of the water but...

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2022?***

    Some chocolate-y hazelness in clay. More beer made me very silly and nostalgia made me remember and listen to Weird Al and suddenly BOOM - Clenchmeister! And that made me remember this, I don't know why I love it so much. Maybe it was made for nuts.

    Reservoir under draft hole.

    I've read that some people here sieve that out and keep it until there's enough for another bowl. Personally I just dump the leftovers into the ashtray and let the pipe do whatever the hell it wants to do.
