    Any active athletes here?

    So what you're trying to tell me is that you're essentially a world-class, professional athlete in peak shape in the prime of his life.

    I'm Back!

    Glad to have you back bro. Stop posting shirtless pics with your 8-pack oiled while smoking a pipe and you might not get banned again!

    Best Esoterica/Germain’s Blends I Should Buy?

    I was sent some Esoterica in a secret Santa a couple of years ago and it was pretty great (not sure of the year), but I prefer to purchase tobaccos that are more readily available. 2020 was when I switched from cigarettes to the pipe so I never experienced a time when Esoterica was plentiful.

    My New Novel Has Pipe Smoking In It Again

    Wow, this is awesome! I must have missed the post about your first novel. I am going to pick up the first one and read it first before this one comes out.

    Best Esoterica/Germain’s Blends I Should Buy?

    If I remember correctly, I heard Per Jensen mention in a recent interview that Germain's is going to be scaling up production a bit here soon with the consolidation of Mac Baren and STG? That might be more for the European market though, meaning we might not see much increase in US inventories.

    The Best 'No-Bite' Pipe Tobacco?

    Thanks for the heads up.. I’ll be making a Gawith order soon with lots of samples and I may just throw a quarter pound or so of this one in the cart. I’m specifically interested in ribbon or shag cuts so this sounds fantastic.

    Any active athletes here?

    I’ve played basketball twice a week (weather permitting) with the same core group of guys for around 8 years.

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

    Ok yeah I am not a daily smoker of non C&D flakes for this reason. There are some that are less fussy than others but it’s funny that you say that about Marlin Flake. It’s one of the only tobaccos in my cellar that I’ll likely sell off as well. Based on what you post we have VERY similar tastes...

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

    Thanks man. $60 on eBay and it had only been smoked twice. Too good to pass up on a $120 pipe. How do you like the 1792?

    What is the best Savinelli pipe?

    I always have a pipe with me at work that I smoke on breaks and on my way to work. One of my coworkers asked me where one of my Savinellis was from. I told her it was an Italian company called Savinelli that has been around for something like 140 years. She was shocked to hear how long they’d...

    What is the best Savinelli pipe?

    I’m not sure if you mean best shape or best line of pipes. The best shape is whichever one catches your eye. My favorite Savinelli line by far is the Tre (filterless) line. I even have a Punto Oro and I think I still slightly prefer the Tre line because the buttons are the same on them all...

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

    More swra in the same Savinelli

    Smoking Law in Great Britain

    No matter how you kick the bucket, end of life care is expensive. The longer you live, the more your life has cost the healthcare system no matter which way you slice it. If the cost to our healthcare system isn't the issue, then as you said, it's about legislating morality, which is...

    Cellaring - How Long Will It Keep?

    Yes, the name of the company eluded me but that is it.

    Cellaring - How Long Will It Keep?

    I listened to the recent Per Jensen interview and he is apparently working with a Turkish tobacco company to create a new flake that is almost pure Oriental tobacco. It will only be available in Turkey, Switzerland, and certain Asian markets.

    Cellaring - How Long Will It Keep?

    I haven't tried any blends with much more than 6-7 years of age on them, but I'll give you my experience. The OTC straight burleys (Velvet, Sir Walter Raleigh Regular) really don't change much. Blends with 80%-90% Burley and 10%-20% Virginia like Pegasus, HH Burley Flake, etc. age wonderfully...

    SWRA in a Savinelli.

    A pipe in a hot bath

    I’m not really one for baths, but sure I’d probably smoke in the bath if I took them.

    Trapped in Self-Driving Taxi Going in Circles

    To be fair, he only made $175,000,000 (yes, that’s the correct amount of zeroes) before even founding Tesla when he sold his shares of PayPal (which he cofounded) back in 2002…
