    Granger by Lane

    I agree that Granger has a good Burley taste, but Edgeworth Ready Rubbed was also a very good Burley. The old Sir Walter Raleigh (before STG) had a Burley taste that I have only slightly noticed in other blends. The new SWR if dried out for a few days to let the vinegar dissipate can still...

    Clenching = saliva = shirt drool.

    I can't clench either. It wasn't that important to me, and I didn't want to wear a bib. I find people look at people slobbering down their face and wearing a bib. They would have the nursing home on speed dial.

    Wish I Knew

    Maybe it was because the tobacco was drier. I have always felt that dry tobacco has more taste. Glad you had an enjoyable smoke.

    Someone's Trying to Lure Me Back

    One thing pipe smokers love to do is overthink what they are doing. I guess by making it difficult it makes us feel we are doing something extremely special. Pipe smoking is a nice past time, but it isn't rocket science.

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2025?***

    Congratulations on 30 years. That is quite an accomplishment. I am proud of you.

    Great pipes for a great man.

    I couldn't help myself

    I know you like the Codger blends like I do. Have you tried any of the Milan blends yet. I think you would enjoy Milan's "our" Prince Albert and Milan's "our" Carter Hall. I think you would really like them. They are better than the original and much better than the current concoctions.

    I couldn't help myself

    The other day I was enjoying a bowl of Match Field and Stream. It is one of my favorite Codger and Match blends, which I have an abundant supply. I sat there and thought "Do I really have enough of this stuff." If I die at 135, I have enough of this stuff, but I went online to SP to see if there...

    Granger by Lane

    Granger is the kind of tobacco that if you want fireworks and moments of taste explosions, then you shouldn't smoke it, but if you want a good, dependable, all day burley tobacco, this is one to consider. I have a couple tubs of Granger, just to have in case of emergency. I hadn't smoked any for...

    Where Is Your Favorite Place To Smoke A Pipe

    In our sunroom with a cup of coffee and a pipe in the early morning hours, watching the sun come up and small-town America awakens for another day.

    Coumarin in Pipe Tobacco

    If you ate 10 pounds of sugar a day, it just might kill you, but a sprinkling of sugar on your cereal is tasty and fine.

    Hello and welcome from West Virginia.

    Stealth Blends for Family Vacation

    I don't know how old you are, but I recommend black socks with sandals, over big shorts that go under your arm pits with a big black belt and a white wife beater t-shirt. They will definitely leave you alone to smoke whatever you want.

    A Cat Question

    Their real name is Robertcat, but they like to be called Bob.

    A Cat Question

    That's a nice kitty, but it's a Bobcat.

    Mosquitoes

    I read recently that if you dab some Vicks Salve on your face and body, the little buggers will leave you alone. I haven't tried it yet, but summer is here, and mosquitos think I'm the local diner.

    Heartbreaking Start of the Day

    I know if it was up to my wife, every dog that needed a home or some love would be in the house, and I'd be living in the kennel. That's why I love her so, because a person who loves their pet as a member of the family has a heart worth living with. A dog is a loyal, loving companion that don't...

    A Big Pipe Bowl

    Great taste in pipes with the Upshall FH Ext. billiard. I have a Hardcastle billiard that makes for a long smoke. Most of my Freehands hold a lot of tobacco too. I also agree that Edgeworth Ready Rubbed was a wonderful blend. In fact, I had a bowl this morning.

    Rivertown Tobacco Works

    For those that have not tried the Rivertown Tobacco Works bulk blends, they currently have a 20% sale at Smokingpipes.com. I have not tried any of the Cornell and Diehl bulk examples of their major blends, so I purchased some Crimson Shadow and Oak and Ember to sample. The prices are very...

    Farewell Sutliff Tobacco Company - Monday 3/4/25

    Milan Tobacconist has a very good blender and makes many of their blends. I am sure that they were dependent on Sutliff for some of the tobaccos. Some of their blends were discontinued due to the death of Sutliff, but many of their own blends ware blended by their tobacconist.
