    Aged Condor...

    Only 60 plugs? You poor thing. Ha...just ribbing you jitter. I have maybe 10 plugs and they're the 25g at that. And about 4 or 5 pouches of the RR and LC. I'm not going to run out anytime soon as I only smoke a couple times a week, except for vacations. Hawky, I hear ya. You have to go through...

    Aged Condor...

    Long live Condor Plug! Ha. Speaking of going back again I tried Rattray's Bagpiper's Dream again hoping for a better result. It tasted good but it also gave my tongue some bite. So I dumped it out and had a bowl of Condor and it was night and day. So smooth, so good tasting. Whatever topping it...

    Aged Condor...

    Don't take all the Condor hawky! Same as you I consider Condor my favorite blend but only have a few plugs and a couple of pouches of RR and LC. I would even consider the risky move of having MacBaren produce it if it would make access to the U.S. less costly. St. Bruno on the other hand...

    Escudo

    Hi Frank. Just wanted to tell you not to get too frustrated if you don't get the differences in taste between blends anytime soon. I have only smoked a pipe for 4 1/2 years and only a couple of times a week so it has taken me seemingly forever for my palette to be conditioned to the point of...

    Sharing Some Dunhill Ultra Mild Tobacco with You

    I received my sample in the mail day before yesterday. I was outside sipping on some Condor, when I suddenly realized I hadn't checked the mail and remembered this was to be coming. There it was from Cosmic Folklore. A generous sample was sent and I was eager to try the blend that only is...

    Orlik Golden Sliced Rehydrated

    I'm hoping that this will be the case for a tin of old Capstan blue that I bought off of Pipestud. It is 70s or 80s vintage and was quite dry. I rehydrated it but have not yet tried it. Letting it set in a sealed jar to give it a little more time. OGS is just so-so for me. I seem to like the...

    Gawith Hoggarth Dark Plug

    Appreciate that uncle. I have some flake left over but love the plugs of anything even better. It's stout but tasty. Just take it slow. I'll just have to snatch me a few ozs. Thank you

    Suggestions for New Pipe Purchase

    Smokingpipes.com just advertised some Ropp pipes that have bowls that were turned back in the 30s and 40s from Algerian briar. Just a tad over $100. Might be a good place to look.

    Martin Landau Dies at 89

    He was one of my favorite actors over the years, especially in Mission Impossible. He also played in the movie The Majestic opposite of Jim Carey. That was a great movie. I also watched those Space: 1999 episodes that he played in with his wife Barbara Bain. RIP Martin

    Burley Negatives; Why Not Burley?

    The Sutliff match for Edgeworth ready rubbed is right up that alley. I have some and think it's a great burley smoke. Not too strong.

    Educate Me On Lakeland, Please

    Was wondering about Hyde Park. Have a tin but have not gotten around to opening it yet. Do have some Bob Choc Flake and I didn't really notice much of a floral with it. There was something there but it was very very light

    Ha! Hobi1dog Is Back!

    I agree with the others. Glad to see you back here. So many new people on here, and a lot of the ones that were regulars when I started have faded away. That's the way it goes though. Sorry to hear of your health problems. Your avatar doesn't look that old, if that is you

    Those last few puffs

    My experience is the opposite as well, more bitter and bitey the last third or fourth of the bowl. Good to see you again 4dot. It has been quite a while
