    Favorite Alcoholic Drink with your Favorite Tobacco

    I enjoy dark lagers and stouts with "medium-ish" English blends, like H&H Marquee BlackHouse and Lane's HGL.

    Have you tried any English blends? They tend to be very smooth and have less bite than the aromatics. Lane's HGL or Sutliff Medium English are both nice blends and inexpensive. I just tried Hearth & Home Marquee BlackHouse, and it is a great one too - Smooth and flavorful. These blends dry...

    H&H Marquee BlackHouse

    I picked up an ounce of this from P&C to try and smoked my first bowl this evening in my Savinelli 413 KS half bent Dublin. This pipe has a nice, large chamber and a balsa filter. It is easy to see why BlackHouse is an award winning blend. The tobacco to me has a great moisture level, which...

    Savinelli, post your pics.

    Nice pipes fellas! Here are my Savs. The top one is a 413 KS sitter. This was my first nice pipe. I bought it four years ago, and it is still one of my favorites. The other is a Savinelli Florence, I picked up on an "under $50" page online. I think I paid $32 for it. It is a very nice pipe...

    Who Knew So Many Were Concerned?

    After a few years now all my friends and family know I smoke a pipe. No one has expressed any concern so far. Most have actually said they thought it was interesting, cool, kinda neat,etc. I let it out of the closet slowly though, because of what everyone here has said. I didn't feel like...

    Rhodesian vs bulldog

    Bulldogs are very nice. Rhodesians are even just a little bit nicer. :-)

    What blends are you smoking? Drying your tobacco a bit can be very helpful. I learned this from the gentlemen on this forum, and it has helped me greatly. Brian L has said on the show that he likes to dry his to the point of being almost crunchy. The only blend I have yet to figure out thus...

    Looking Forward To My Friday Ritual

    One of the many things I enjoy so much about smoking a pipe is the ritual involved. I'm sure you understand what I mean. I was just thinking of another ritual I enjoy every week. I start thinking about it and looking forward to it around Wednesday afternoon. Every Friday morning just before...

    Pipes on TV

    Sounds like a great show. Thanks for the heads up. I will check it out. I have heard the same regarding the communal clay tavern pipes.

    My dirty little secret:

    Good for you man! I remember building up the courage to ask my wife how she felt about an occasional bowl in the house. Turns out I had nothing to fear. As long as I go outside with my Latakia, dark fired and other non aros, I'm ok in the house. I only get one or two bowls a day anyway, and...

    Don’t Like It. What Do You Do?

    I jar it, put it away and revisit when I am inclined to try it again. I just revisited some Escudo I stuck in a jar in early 2012. I really enjoyed it this time. It aged a couple years, and since I've only been smoking a pipe a few years, my packing and smoking skills have improved quite a...

    ***What Are You Smoking*** (April 2014)

    Escudo (jarred since May 2012) in a MM Legend with a Savinelli 6 mm balsa filter.

    Small TAD Order

    Yeah it is like Christmas! I'm like Ralphie rushing to the mailbox looking for his Little Orphan Annie Decoder Pin when I'm waiting on an order. Those are nice orders guys.

    Small TAD Order

    Yeah it looks great. I'm really excited to give it a go.

    Small TAD Order

    I'm looking forward to getting my order from P&C - a tin of H&H Signature Classic Burley Kake (one of my favorites) and a couple blends I've never tried. I ordered an ounce of C&D Billy Budd (stepping out a little) and an ounce of H&H Marquee Blackhouse. I love that I can order an ounce of...

    Hooked on C&D Billy Budd

    Have you tried Purple Cow? I saw it when I was browsing about. I haven't tried it, but it is a Latakia, cigar leaf blend. I just ordered an ounce of BIllybudd. I'm looking forward to giving it a go.

    ***What Are You Smoking*** (April 2014)

    Lane's HGL in a Savinelli 413 KS rusticated bent Dublin sitter with 6mm balsa filter - drinking an ice cold Michelobe Amberbock. This pipe and blend seem to be made for each other, and the beer is great compliment.
