    Granger Games ?A Review of Middleton Sugerbarrel

    The rumored demise of Prince Albert and perhaps Carter Hall has me nostalgic. I own one tub of each as a salute to Middleton. But I also have one full tub of Sugerbarrel which, in true Middleton fashion, is as fresh as the day I removed it’s cellophane and peered inside. So today, I’m enjoying...

    Non-Pipe Roll ?Pipe Roll

    Does anyone know what this is? Well if you think it’s a cool pipe roll, you’re partially correct! But in truth, it’s nothing more than a traditional Harley Davidson’s Biker’s Wallet—Re-purposed! With the right sized pipe, in this case an old meer lined Dublin Dr Grabow, you can fit all you...

    Granger Games ?Mockingjay - A Review of Sutliff 212 Burley Delight

    A little bird told me that bulk Sutliff 212 Burley Delight is the “equivalent” of Burley London Blend. This little songbird came to me in the form of Tobacco Reviews - I simply must stop reading those. For when one cruel reviewer described the 212 as “granger-like” my knees buckled and I swiftly...

    A Double Dose of Americana-Cob Time!

    I’ve captured a double dose of Americana — Savoring granger in a Missouri Meerschaum. I know I dote on this mellow old time blend, but it’s earned its place. The combination has me in a contemplative ? mood. There’s nothing like an cob pipe and an abiding tobacco. I’ve turned this little...

    THE GRANGER GAMES -CATCHING FIRE ?

    A pulmonary doc once said to me, “Mr. Grangerous, you have asthma.” I said, “I don’t have asthma Doc, I’ll need a second opinion!” He fixed his gaze upon me and said, “Okaaay... you have asthma.” To this day I don’t believe him as I long ago tossed away those inhalers. But back then, I...

    Blue Room Briars

    I want to give credit where credit is due. I’m a first time purchaser. My estate pipe arrived today. The product itself is stunning. I’ll post pics later in the Pipe Talk forum. The purpose of this is to acknowledge the level of this company’s care. The packaging alone signaled a first...

    THE GRANGER GAMES

    Your tobacco isn’t exciting enough. Your tobacco isn’t complex enough. Your tobacco isn’t... Why in the name of all that’s smooth, cool, tasty, fragrant and relaxing would I want my tobacco to be complex, exciting or demanding? Look, if I’ve set aside some time to relax, it’s time to lean my...

    Advanced Codger Syndrome, ACS

    This morning I prepared a bowl with 50/50 Carter Hall and Chatham and figured, why not? Maybe they’ll compliment one another. I purchased a 16 ounce dark roast, found a pleasant spot to tune into AM radio and lit up. The next thing I know, I’m using a pipe tool to dump and I’m on the road...

    My New Water Flush Finish.

    I think ? it was Brobs who commented that hot water flushing could remove the stain and finish. Another said, if that were the case, it would be the result of a poor finish. I think both of you are correct. Behold... The result of a single hot water flush from my kitchen sink. Now, this...

    New Pipe. Old Friend Gone.

    An Old Time Tobacconist friend is no more. I stopped by to find his once beautiful shop transformed into a lottery ticket selling, bagged tobacco vending modern atrocity. I’d sadly learned he’d passed away. His inventory was picked clean of all but the dregs, which I narrowed down to a handful...
