    SWRA Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic

    Tossed in with my most recent order is a pouch of Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic. I did this on a whim and in large part to the touting of @mso489 who’s opinion I’ve come to trust. I base this on his thoughtful commentary on numerous topics. — Let’s see he’s right about SWRA. I remember well the...

I’m enjoying a modest...

    Kaywoodie Vs. MM Cob

    MSO recently posted his respect for the venerable Kaywoodie. I love this forum, in part, for it’s power of suggestion. Since I own one, I’ve dug it out and decided to have a comparison smoke. Since I’ve been smoking only cobs the past few weeks, this is the perfect time to compare my MM Cobs...

    Granger vs. Granger?

    I’d sat expecting a melt-in-your-mouth-medium-rare-ribeye. But in ritzy, downtown Los Angelos at three times market price—one fancy dry-aged steak went back to the kitchen. I wasn’t impressed by that steak—nor was the LA restaurant manager impressed by me.—Nor the cook. I mean, “Chef” I told...

    New Burley London Blend vs Original

    As I write I am halfway through a cob of 2021 Burley London Blend. Sorry Shermnatman, no honey ? required. Opening the tin I am put off by what reminds me of Coco-Puffs—(artificially flavored) children’s breakfast cereal. No, this is NOT the tin-note of Burley London. My opinion is empirical...

    New Peterson vs 50’s Dunhill

    Surprised at the diminutive size of the 1956 Dunhill Group 4 I’d recently obtained — I decided to purchase a similar sized pipe for a comparison. Attempting to match the ‘56 Dunhill’s dimensions—the choice came down to a Rattray’s Old Gowrie 7 or a Peterson Cara 15–both in sandblast. I went...

    Let me pose a serious question for a change. I am cellaring Mucho Granger and obtaining same wherever I can find it... The can in the photo is one of two that I scored in a tobacco shop.
