    Air Purifiers Tested

    I’ve got the same one and it’s great, though I do not smoke indoors. I use it for general dust control and air quality. For a smoking room, however, I think something with activated charcoal as well as a hepa filter would be needed. The New York Times product review team has rated this the...

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***

    GL Pease Six Pence in my Stanwell bent billiard. Only my 2nd smoke of Six Pence but I really love it. Interesting because it gets mixed reviews. For me, it’s got the right amount of complexity, darker flavors, and spice vs a more traditional VaPer. Loving it so far.

    TAD Acquisitions 2024

    I’m generally fine until I open this TAD thread - just ordered several tins of Old Ironsides that I’m not sure I need… 😂

    Vintage Tobacco Value

    I’ve paid anywhere from $2 up to $15 for tins like this. Tobacco inside is neat, and may command more value, but not much more if it has been opened. These types of tins are quite ubiquitous at antique stores which is where I buy and the prices above reference. You’ll see them much higher at...

    Do Missouri Meerschaum Hardwoods Last Longer Than Cobs?

    I destroyed my first MM cob by trying to aggressively clean out around the shank inside of the bowl. I was a new smoker, also. I was using the pick tool one time right after a smoke (probably a super hot smoke 🤣) and was digging down around the shank to ensure it was “clean” and poked right...

    Captain Black Cherry

    Sorry - to answer your 2nd post - yeah, Capt. Black Cherry is pretty classic if you want to try a classic cherry blend.

    Captain Black Cherry

    Depends on what you’re thinking of as an ‘old time’ blend. I always thought of my grandpa’s pipe blend as cherry, but after trying many ‘drug store’ blends that were available back in the day, I actually think that he smoked something less cherry-forward.

    Sir Walter Raleigh Tin w/Tobacco!

    Great call on trying to date it with the stamp - I’ll see what I can find. Just smoked it and you’re correct - only worth it so I can say that I did 😂 I dumped it out about half way through because it wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t enjoyable in the slightest.

    Sir Walter Raleigh Tin w/Tobacco!

    The taste is very mild, but the sweet casing comes through the smoke. However, that might be about it. I think a lot of the typical notes I’d associate with burley, or frankly any tobacco, are long gone. There’s a nice aromatic note here on my porch - though it’s just a sweet, possibly...

    Sir Walter Raleigh Tin w/Tobacco!

    Thanks so much for your response! I’m excited to give this a try later this eve 😊

    I like your taste in tobacco, pipes, and music.

    Pipe Sighting at the Movies

    My kids laugh at that, too - “SMOKING!!!??!!! 🫨🫨🫨”

    Sir Walter Raleigh Tin w/Tobacco!

    Some rehydrating pics - and don’t worry folks; the light bulb was an LED, so only slightly warm. 🤣

    Sir Walter Raleigh Tin w/Tobacco!

    Rehydrated a small amount over several days. It took the moisture well, and no mold or other issues. Haven’t smoked it but might try it today. However, I continue to be suspicious that this isn’t Sir Walter Raleigh tobacco, but rather something else that was added to the tin. Now that it’s...

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***

    Escudo in a cheap (but not bad!) La Rocca with a PBR. Nautical meets hipster - which describes pipe smoking and my beard pretty well also.

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***

    Sutliff black cordial in a MM cob this morning while I prepare for a busy work day.
