David Cuneo A.K.A. Dmcmtk Has Passed Away.
I remember dmcmtk in a lot of conversations here before my years away from the forums. Although I was back for several months before @JimInks posted this sad news, I did not see the announcement. Not surprisingly, I found this as a result of looking through some older maker history-oriented...- buroak

Indeed! Tom Eltang’s rustication on that cutty makes it look like something that needs to be smoked on a whaling ship. It’s a beaut!- buroak

***What Are You Smoking, March 2025?***
I love Dark Bird’s Eye. For a while after it was introduced stateside, I dismissed the Vintage Cut version as a solution in search of a problem. Recently, I have embraced it as blender to take riffs on old British strong aros by mixing it with full American aros. My experiments are still...- buroak

And Tom said, “let there be ring grain.” And, lo, there was ring grain where none had been.- buroak

There really is. I’m a Kaywoodie man, too, but Peterson’s have the superior system pipe, if I’m honest.- buroak

That is a honey of a Pete! The blast and stain alone are show stoppers. Combined with the vulcanite Deluxe System taper stem and wear gap setup, you have surely harpooned several other men’s white whale. The 3s is also a great size for short smokes of strong blends.- buroak

Sutliff Z88 Maple Walnut in this entry level Vauen sandblast Apple with a fumed (or stained to look fumed) rim. I picked this pipe from the bones of the now departed Cup o’ Joes (RIP!). I am using the filter and gladly. The flavors still come through, but the tingle I feel is kept from...- buroak

Rattray’s Sir William in a 1935-1939-ish Kaywoodie 5163 (Super Grain Medium Unger Oom Paul) accompanied me on my pre-work stroll. I am glad I haven’t stocked up much Rattray’s Stirling Flake, because I am finding Sir William even more to my liking. The whiskey topping is judiciously applied...- buroak

How is D&R Ryback Compared to Mac Baren Old Dark Fired?
Kendal Dark Bird’s Eye is what long ago supplanted DFK in my rotation.- buroak

Penhooker Fans?
They should’ve moved P&C to VA. They also ditched the P&C site in favor of CoJ or Tobaccopipes.- buroak

Penhooker Fans?
I’ve experienced the same. Go easy on those poor folks at the companies. As for the rest of thread, I now feel like a sucker for buying at 75% off. 🤪- buroak

Received Brand New Peterson pipe From an Authorized Retailer and it Smells Like Medicine
You may find that, as with new cars, they all smell that way. I usually flush my pipes with Lakelands to achieve a friendlier ghost. -

Are VaBurPers a thing?
Ryback is a great blender. Actually, D&R tobaccos in general are some of my go-tos for blending. I wish Three Sails were easier to blend, but that fine shag cut tangles. Fortunately, it is a good smoke by itself.- buroak

Wait till you discover Vaburperientals with aro sauce. With home blending, you can let your imagination run wild.- buroak

Watch City Cigar Old North Church
Though the blend is classified as Burley based and WCC describes it as having only a minor Latakia presence, the Latakia is the most prominent component to my taste. It is smoky, sweet, and with a bit of spiciness. The first time I smoked this blend, I thought it was a “lat bomb.” I think...- buroak

P&C 20% Off
Such an unfortunate brand name to build going into the Cold War. It seems to have done alright in the era of Uncle Joe-Uncle Sam good feeling, though. A good friend of mine has an army mount Marxman his grandfather had to have bought as one of the pipes made available to servicemen, so at...- buroak
