    Presbyterian Ordained vs 507-C

    Ah, flash of insight. I used a small clay taster pipe (always with new blends) which does overheat easily. Thanks for that advice.

    Presbyterian Ordained vs 507-C

    (Ordained soon to be available on flipper sites, pending delivery to the flippers...) I got Newminster 400 and 507c last summer, after being advised of their sweetness. I like sweet. Both tasted more like cigarettes than anything. I didn't jump on the Ordained due to relative price and the...

    I’m Surprised it Wasn’t Listed as Rare!

    Minty, rare, vintage. When did you last see anyone smoking one of these? Auction closed.

    Just Noticed an Excise Tax on my Orders!?

    I notice some e-tailers like SP automatically charge me excise and sales tax. Others put the burden on me to do it. Others still don't charge me but notify my state who gets huffy and sends me threatening letters, assuming I had no intentions of paying it. That hurts my feelings.

    Do you prefer the 1st or 2nd half of bowl better?

    Middle half for me. Top quarter is good but not rich enough, bottom quarter gets ashy notes and nicotine buildup. I like messing with dichotomies.

    RIP Gallagher

    "Elephant sneezes", using vanilla pudding and a dryer vent hose was maybe 3 seconds out of a show, but remains my favorite physical comedy gag ever. Thanks for that, Gallagher.

    Boxwood stems…

    I have a Kaywoodie Allbriar. More of a collector piece. Too cool to get chewed on. I know: rubber bit- hate them.

    Standard Terms to Describe Amount of Bend?

    How about ebay pipes with seemingly rotated stems? You know, the ones where you are staring into the bowl as you light it? 270 degree?

    Evening Pipes and Sleep

    I started smoking cigars and pipes in college to stay awake studying. Years later, restarted cigars while having to drive at night. I never understood the Nightcap tin art. Definitely a stimulant for me.

    18th Century tobacciana replicas.

    I like reenactments and always carry along a period pipe with me. A sharp eyed civil war player once complemented me on a 19th century meer I was smoking. I always wondered where they got their stuff.

    Are OTC blends really OTC?

    Local cigarette and cigar shops in Michigan carry tubs of the usual ones but no pouches any more. Try gas stations.

    New Watch City Releases

    I'm not noticing much topping in the Waltham. Didn't in the WCS, either. Fine codger burley, nonetheless. Ernie knows what he's doing.

    What Has Happened to Samuel Gawith Blends?

    I wonder if a covid infection history affects Lakeland essence perception. The conspiracy theories, the dramatic uptick of Lakeland cravers and the pandemic seem to correlate. Avon or Yardley needs to market a freshening restorative spritz of the scent for the nouveau addicts and the women who...

    The Root Cause of Tongue Bite

    I can get a sore tongue when using a gourd calabash. Not a technique issue for me, it's the components of the blend. Perique from C&D blends usually does it, as do many of their virginias. I can smoke MacBarens with impunity. If there is a tobacco that gives me a problem yet I still enjoy, a...

    What Was/Is Your Nickname?

    At the nuke plant where I used to work, I was the preeminent science nerd. A coworker shook his head one day and said, gee, you're like Mr. Science! That stuck until Mr. got dropped and it morphed into just Science. 40 years later, retired coworkers still call me that when I see them.
