    Into the woods!

    In all ways, looks awesome. So, obviously the smell of the pipe doesn't drive the deer away?

    Perique overdose

    Lol. That's awesome.

    Nic Hit?

    Last one that really snuck up on me was C&D Exhausted Rooster.

    Jedi Blend

    Darth VaPer would be amazing. This must be done. How about a special run of McClellands Dark Star as "Death Star"?

    Do you have a "Hedge Tobacco"?

    Do you have a particular tobacco that you are stocking up in case of outrageous inflation or smoking laws? Mine is H&H Anniversary Kake. I do like it, but mostly I've piled some up because it's affordable and they have the buy 2 get 1 free sales. I have about 2 pounds laid up, that's a lot for...

    What would your ideal B&M look like?

    Old downtown building, very classy- leather chairs, etc. No TVs but music playing - big band, blues, etc. It would be dedicated to pipes and cigars, no vape or cigarette stuff. Lounge is available for use by some kind of club membership.

    Oriental Forward, Light on the Latakia: Looking for Suggestions

    I JUST discovered, and am REALLY enjoying McClelland Frog Morton On The Town. I think it might fit your bill. It's Oriental forward but not overwhelming, great Virginias, a hint of Latakia. A nice balance of sweet and spice- I had a tin sitting forgotten about for 2 years and finally tried it...

    What do you snack when you smoke?

    I'm also in the camp of not enjoying eating when I smoke. I don't like extra salivation, and I feel like bits of food just don't mix with the pipe. Also, even though I drink while smoking (water, tea, coffee, whiskey, beer, whatever) somehow I feel like drinks cleanse the palate and add to the...

    Topping a Cob

    I'd say go for it. If you screw up, you're out like 7 bucks.

    What's The Tobacco That You Always Wish You Had More Of?

    Currently, Froggy On the Town. I have had some aged GL Pease Haddos delight and it was awesome- sure wish I had more of that. The fresh stuff doesn't even hold a candle.

    What Brand/Artisan is Most Represented in Your Collection?

    My rack has more Savinellis than anything else. Which is odd, because I'm falling quickly for simple, traditional English shapes.

    Beautiful Chestnut Dunhill from Mike at Briar Blues

    I so had my eye on that pipe. Beautiful, beautiful pipe.

    No shave November

    I've had a closely trimmed beard for 5 years. Usually in November I let it grow more full just for fun. I do still have to stay neatly groomed, as I work in a professional environment with dress and decorum standards.

    Is it worth it?

    Fairwell, Peterson Pipe. The body will decay, but your spirit lingers on...

    Is it worth it?

    Ooo. I'm no pipe repairman, so other's may disagree, but I'd say you just $15 out the window unless you just really wanted a beater to practice on (and then $15 is a lot for a beater).

    Best Pipe Lighter?

    I have a zippo with the pipe insert. $20 and works well. The only time its not great is if you have a very deep bowl (and I do have several large Italian dublins)- you have to draw pretty hard to relight the bottom of the bowl and you can start to see starts :) That's a more rare experience. For...

    Wife tolerates Aromatics,But...

    I've heard MacBaren Vanilla Flake has some good tobacco flavor while still maintaining a nice room note.
