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

    Smoking some current production F&T Evans Blend in the Merton prince. It's a very pleasant unflavored VA/Cav ribbon, a nice warm weather smoke. I'm drinking some locally made Munich-style lager which I'm also using to poach some brats before they get finished on the grill. Happy 4th of July to...

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

    It is said that GH Bosun Plug/Cut Plug has clove oil in it as one of the main flavoring agents. You could always just mince up a few cloves on the cutting board and add them to whatever tobacco you like. I used to do that with rolling tobacco when actual Indonesian clove cigarettes were...

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

    More Evans Blend in this Merton prince from St. Claude. Happy with both. It's a bit steamy, so a glass of icy water helps.

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    For some reason it wouldn't let me attach the photos in the previous post.

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    Tonight I opened up a tin of F&T Evans Blend that I received in an order from Mars last week. It's a mix of bright Virginias and dark cavendish in a medium chunky ribbon. Very nice, straightforward tobacco smell from the tin. I don't get any particular flavorings from it - just a mildly sweet...

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

    First time trifecta this evening. First smoke from my newly acquired estate Merton prince; using Nording keystones at the bottom; burning a pinch of just-opened F&T Evans Blend for the first time. And I'm liking it all, quite a bit!

    What’s Your Favorite Esoterica/Germain’s Blend?

    Favorite? I wish I knew! I've never come across any, much less at a reasonable price, in my 'normal' tobacco shopping - i.e the usual websites and the few B&Ms that are left here in Southern California. I've sorta resigned myself to probably never smoking anything from Germain's. I'm most...

    My latest acquisition is also my first French-made pipe, this Merton prince estate with beautiful straight grain all around the bowl.

    I've heard that shape referred to as a coachman.

    Granger in a cob, doing some yard work.

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

    GH Rum Flake from 2022 in the Thermofilter dublin, along with a kold kölsch-style beer with grapefruit added. Very refreshing (the beer), and satisfying as ever (the tobacco).

    TAD Acquisitions 2025

    A little TAD + PAD parcel arrived today from Mars. Found some tobaccos to try and a lovely little Merton St Claude estate prince. The pipe is in good condition and has beautiful straight grain all around the bowl. Needs a bit of cleaning, but I'm very happy with my purchase. This is my 1st...

    Recommend me a New All Day Smoke to Replace Carter Hall and Prince Albert

    Granger is really good. I'm very glad it's still available after Mixture 79 got nixed. It's my go-to for an easy burley smoke.

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

    Granger in a cob, with some chocolate milk spiked coffee is a whole lotta comfort after an eventful day off from work. Took mom in for surgery and sang at a memorial service for a friend who passed away far too young. Both things went as well as one could have hoped. It's nice to sit down and...

    Ahh, la dolce vita!!! Visiting any pipe shops or makers while in Italy??

    Sweet coachman you have there! I love that shape.

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

    Tonight it's Coniston cut plug in the trusty Medico mail offer egg. I've only been at this for a few years, but I predict CCP will forever be one of my favorites.

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

    Today I had bowls of Mixture 79 and Granger in my favorite Washington cob. It was a hot day in SoCal and I was outside doing some heavy yard work, so some burley in a cob was just the thing.
