    What tobacco next?

    If you’re looking for English blends, I noticed Watch City Cigar has Sutliff No. 5. Nobody on the forums seems to celebrate it, but I freakin love it. It has a lot of heavy creosote and incense notes. I always wondered if there is a bulk version of this sold under another name

    Wet Shave

    Question for the crowd: Do you open up your razor and remove the blade and dry everything after each shave? I have been just flicking off the water and padding it dry but not taking out the blade. I’m unsure if that is sufficient.

    Wet Shave

    I remember the days where I needed thinning scissors. Now if anyone knows where I can find ones that thicken please reach out 🙂

    What Are You Drinking? October 2025

    Oh yeah I guess that made it into the frame. I pretty much am set up so that I am within a few strides of one no matter where in the house I am. I’m going to have some Rhum after I finish my coffee

    Organic Tequila. Maybe Rhum later if I have a cigar or big pipe to go with it…

    What Are You Drinking? October 2025

    I’ve never heard of this brand before and for all I know it could be expired but it tastes not like a Czech Pils, more like Marzen ish so I don’t really like it.

    Wet Shave

    That was always a tricky one for my brain chemistry too. Ultimately I opted for zero milligrams. Haha

    What Are You Drinking? October 2025

    I’m liking the new branding. I think I’ll have an Arn please!

    Wet Shave

    No I’ve not tried Taylor OOBS. I note that they offer 18 tobacco scented products. Darn you. Good thing I am made of money…🙂 Let us know if you dig through the collection and find a winner. If I was a well off man I could easily enjoy a collection of hundreds of colognes…I’d have a museum...

    Wet Shave

    That’s one I have, and IMO is striking the general Danish aromatic accord, not raw leaf.

    State of the Collection '25

    You have enough pipes to justify a rack or display 🙂

    Wet Shave

    I bet a lot of pipe tobacco scented products don’t smell tobaccoey, they are more trying to strike the overall accord of an aromatic, so it's a blend of things like vanilla, cherry, almond, etc. I’ve tried some expensive colognes from Tom Ford and Serg Lutens and they must be trying to smell...

    Cigar Collection

    I’d be excited about all the old stock too. Those ones from Manila are especially intriguing…I’ve never encountered a Phillipines produced cigar.

    Cigar Collection

    They don’t look far gone. I’d try smoking one now and see if it tastes good, or if it’s burning too fast and hot from dryness. You probably got a good deal.

    Love that old Phillies box

    Wet Shave

    That’s disappointing that your soap doesn’t smell like a good Balkan blend. I have some cavendish shave soap inbound and will report my findings. I have the Cavendish cologne from the same company and it’s a pretty convincing scent. Yes, this thread has cost me money too, but I don’t regret...

    Wet Shave

    No, it’s witch hazel based. No Sherlock. I do have a few more but that’s not one of them. This really is worlds better than my Mach 3, glad I took the plunge.

    Wet Shave

    This after shave toner smells terrific and the scent lasts a while too. Highly recommended.
