    The Devils in my Pipe Tobacco

    Crowley got more popularity though his Tarot deck. But still...I dont care what people believe or dont believe that make my tobacco. I wouldnt buy blends that supported the Nazi party but shy of extremes I dont bother. Im pretty sure I buy lots of things from lots of people I whom which I...

    Recommend To Me A Blend

    Directors cut is darker and deeper than Edward G. Not as much sugar. They are actually amazing mixed half and half with some added perique.

    How Does This Happen?

    A 5C is pretty spendy Of course if you are buying Anne Julie pipes I guess its a bargain. Its all relative If the price is right Id buy it and fix it.

    How Does This Happen?

    Torch lighters or wind. If you are handy you can pick them up cheap and refurb them. You have to be good at matching stains

    Favorite Balkan/English And Why?

    When I want an intesnse smoke I really enjoy GLP Quiet Nights. It can be very deep and insense like (in a good way). I personally am only warming up to orientals. Presse Canoe lat 40 is pretty nice. Very different.

    To break in or not to break in? that is the question

    I tried honey once. It just made a mess and I cleaned it out. I do fill and smoke BUT I am extra aware the first several smokes to take it easy. Its interesting, every new pipe I have gotten smokes hotter the first two or three fills. Maybe it’s moisture? So I am careful to set it down if...

    Recommendations for a pipe $200 budget

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

    Dark Twist plus a bit of Classic Rollcake in a Ser jacopo. Its a nice combo that offers just a bit of vanilla. I find CRC a bit overwhelming straight.

    Recommendations for a pipe $200 budget

    Also look at our sponsors to the Left of the page Al Pacia is in Italy but I think its 10-15 bucks to ship a pipe to the US and they arrive literally in days. They have an amazing collection and more Ser Jacopo pipes at varied prices than most. In the US you dont pay VAT
