    A Recommended Light English

    Lane Ltd "HGL".....It's really "Captain Black"-original with the addition of a little Latakia. Very pleasant to smoke and smell. Add a small amount of cigar-leaf, for a treat.

    I Have Covid Burnout

    After the horrific Islamic terror attacks on 9-11, you'd think they'd learn. I live in the epicenter of COVID, NYC. "Sanctuary" NYS and NYC, are both ruled by two grandstanding, comatose, douche-bags. Cuomo, just suddenly "got woke" that NY is dangerously low on meds. ventilators, masks...

    Estate Pipe Cracks and Disinfection

    Bet you'll never buy another pipe without checking it out more thoroughly. That being said, this estate pipe has some major defects, but for $30.00, I'd smoke it, and use it in the way you intended to use it. I will leave it to the more experienced gents, regarding additional refurbishing...

    Light-Latakia, Light English, American-English Blends.

    Try: Lane Ltd: "HGL"...you'll always be able to find this bulk-blend. It's just "Captain Black"-original, with some added Latakia. Easy-peasy, no queazy.

    Bulk English Blend Search

    Wilke's "HIGH HAT" has been around since the 1870s for a reason.

    What's That Smell?

    I was gifted a MM by a friend. Honestly, if it wasn't a gift, this would be the last choice of a pipe I would try, or, buy. I loaded it up, and smoked it. It smelled and tasted like warm lacquer thinner, and the stem, like nail-polish remover. I threw it into the garbage. No break-in...

    Carter Hall (A Review)

    Take an ounce or two, of that quiescent "Carter Hall" and drizzle in just a bit of cigar-leaf, or maybe your favorite English. Not a lot...just a drizzle. Them small additions will stiffen up this flaccid codger like a dose of Viagra. I say this with a smile.

    Carter Hall (A Review)

    Just because you are new to pipe-smoking, that doesn't make your comments and critiques -about a mixture or blend- any less valid than those comments which might be offered by other more experienced pipe smokers. We all have something to learn. Keep posting. No doubt, your opinions about the...

    Piping Pet Peeves

    Blasted, High-end, Reverse-Calabash pipes ...those pipes with the bowl and reverse-chamber, equal in size, round, bulbous, hideous. Them pipes look like some geezer's nut-sack.

    Estate Pipes in NYC

    Bottom line.... "Pipes and Tobacco Shops" in NYC are dead, gone, extinct, defunct. Rigor mortis has set in. The few, high-end "Cigar Lounges" in Manhattan.....are def NO substitute.

    Estate Pipes in NYC

    I live in NYC. The old timey pipe shops are gone. I feel the loss especially when my pipe itch starts to kick in. Etsy and eBay have come to my rescue, but it's def not like buying a 3-D pipe after holding it in your hands. I really like to see what I'm buying. Pictures ain't worth a...

    Tobacco in the Carbon Cake

    The secret to becoming a happy pipe-smoker is to ignore most things about pipe-smoking. Beyond the very basics....most suggestions are subjective, useless, anecdotal, and cause hyper-concern and less enjoyment for the pipe smoker. Smoke that hunk of wood and don't fret so much. Life's too...

    USPS Sorting Facilities (International Mail)

    I'm still waiting for a package that was shipped from China. Tracking indicates that it's "on the way to the next postal facility". It's only been 3 months. I'll be in a coffin when it finally arrives.

    What's Your Best Dish?

    Thanks a lot! My new year's vow was to drop two or three tons...NOW!...not possible after reading this. Subsalac: Good luck with the date.... I can only loosen my belt just so far before I run out of leather.

    Latakia-Light Blends

    Lane Ltd "HGL" = Captain Black -original with small addition of Latakia (very mild, great aroma) John Patton's "Dark and Stormy" (4Noggins) Two off the top of my head that are terrific smokes. Alternative: As suggested...buy a few ounces of blender's Latakia and add small amounts to your fav...

    Trying To Find Something Similar To A Particular Pipe Tobacco In Cigar Form

    When it comes to cigars...I know absolutely nothing....don't laugh, but just asking: Can Butternut Burley pipe tobacco be hand-rolled into a cigar by a cigar maker? Maybe a mild, flavorless wrapper with BB as the filler? Too costly????
