    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2023?***

    Now Rinse-n-Repeat Smoking: Continuing to gorge and guzzle, feed and fest on H&H's Louisiana Red VaPer in the little 4.5" Old German Clay Cutty '11' with the Ships and Anchors, which was posted earlier this afternoon. Rather than show a photo that combination again, I thought you fellas would...

    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2023?***

    Now Smoking: Well, I said I was going to do it last week after I gorged myself on Hearth & Home Signature-series Louisiana Red - which I amped-up with an equal portion of Perique - and was transported to Pipe Smoker's Nirvana for a full evening of relaxation and pleasure. Just a few minutes ago...

    Monthly Home Blending Winning Recipes from the '40's

    Got real lucky with an unexpectedly fast delivery today. Thus, I am able to fill-out the Blending Tobacco inventory with the various different straight Burleys and straight Virginias of various grades, colors and cuts, which will allow me to - hopefully - have the various called for ingredients...

    Monthly Home Blending Winning Recipes from the '40's

    My pleasure @haebar , I absolutely love the whole vibe and content of those old Pipe Lovers mags too! Can you believe that in 2023 - 77 years after the fact - we are discussing someone's - M.B. White, of Des Moines, Iowa; in this case - home blend which they submitted for a contest in a long...

    This can't possibly be... omg, I am getting so old. - Sherm Natman

    Who Primarily Smokes one Blend?

    I am guilty too. My tabak is divided into 2 Simple Categories: 1. A very wide selection of 'Everything Else', which I constantly dip in-and-out of through the day; And, 2. Prince Albert; whom I couldn't imagine going through a day without. So, yes, guilty as charged. - Sherm Natman

    Monthly Home Blending Winning Recipes from the '40's

    Mind? From you, my dear Brother T'Scopes? Not at all. I think it's cool we both are into Home Blending AND Telescopes. Might you be a Chess-nut too? Sure what you are up to is not related to recreating the winning "JAN1946" Home Blend from Pipe Lovers Magazine; but who know, maybe you'll get...

    Monthly Home Blending Winning Recipes from the '40's

    I will email and TRY to get a reply from Middleton and get the low-down on Selbur, BUT, since the rumors of the sale - when PA and CH went into limbo for a time - a couple of years back, communicating with them has not been the same. Anyway, that sounds great, can't wait to read and comparing...

    Monthly Home Blending Winning Recipes from the '40's

    Title edited; not sure what the March 2023 was for. I thought mentioning the 40's could draw more interest. Original title: "Re-Visting, Pipe Lovers Magazine: Monthly Home Blending Winning Recipes, March 2023" Since there are plenty of issues of the old and beloved Pipe Lovers Magazine...

    Jim, is this the inherited 249 Bartling 'Memorial Pipe' which your talked about so beautifully in your interview? - Sherm Natman

    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2023?***

    Now Smoking: Having finished an early Wifey-made dinner of Beef and Bean 3 Cheese Burrito with sour cream and Crystal-brand hot sauce, I am ready to f u l l y recline back with my Community Coffee and 5.6" French-made Brigham Heritage-series Volcano '084', smooth with bent Acrylic stem; and, I...

    How Are Your Cellared Aromatics Holding Up?

    No such "kind and caring routine maintenance" was performed in The Mysterious Case of the BCA Blob. Once relegated to the bowels of the Out-of-Rotation stockpile, it was left to the tender mercies of come what may until it was unleashed upon your unsuspecting narrator. - Sherm Natman

    Bright, Yellow, Lemon Virginias - Differences?

    Very, very true. Luckily, I acquired a vast assortment of D&R titles well before Mark Ryan culled D&R's expansive offering of titles to just a handful of titles as a financially expedient move for D&R. I really enjoyed their products when they were offering their 'Full Line'; and, was sad to...

    Bright, Yellow, Lemon Virginias - Differences?

    Just the already processed straight offerings from Sutliff at this stage of my Home Blending experiments. - Sherm Natman

    How Are Your Cellared Aromatics Holding Up?

    I had the exact opposite experience with Lane Ltd. BCA left for years in a sealed Mason jar. It wasn't 'cellared' for the purpose of ensuring supply nor for aging; but rather, it simply migrated to the way back of my tabaks which were long out-of-rotation. When I open this jar up - to a very...

    Bright, Yellow, Lemon Virginias - Differences?

    THE 'BRIGHT' MYSTERY NOW ALSO SOLVED!!!! If you combine the wonderful information concerning Stalk Position which Brother @jvnshr supplied with the technical descriptions on the link which Brother @Ahi Ka supplied, we not only get but can understand the following: "... Our Flue Cured Virginia...

    Bright, Yellow, Lemon Virginias - Differences?

    That was AWESOME and a HUGE HELP!! I loved the part about the distinct names of the various parts of the stalk from which the leaf is specifically picked - that alone cleared up some other Catalog-Copy confusion. I put in a call to one of the product engineers at a company which offers a...

    ***What Are You Smoking, February 2023?***

    Now Smoking: Feeling a bit of a 'Sweet Tooth', and satisfying it with a bowl of Lane Ltd. 1-Q in a MM Diplomat Apple, with straight plastic stem; and, paired with a couple of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups straight from the freezer and a hot green tea. - Sherm Natman
