    Really Struggling.

    A lot of people struggle with a smoking cadence that is too fast, but some struggle with a cadence that's too slow(unless the packing and lighting and pipe engineering is flawless to keep a cherry burning all the way down). If your pipe is going out constantly, perhaps speed up your puffs to...

    Top Shelf VA Flakes?

    If you're a fan of OGS, I think the odds are very good that you'll enjoy Stokkebye Navy Flake. The Navy is a bit heavier on the Perique than OGS, but still on the light side I'd say where it only adds a bit of a tickle. They have a very similar topping, which I believe is bergamot. Both flakes...

    Mac Baren Plumcake, Thoughts From a Novice

    I do recall trying this many years ago, and really enjoyed everything about it with one exception: It bit like a rabid german shepherd. No matter what I did or how I dried it. I remember amping up the blend and getting it to calm down a bit by adding a pinch of McConnel's Syrian latakia to it...

    If You Were Stranded On a Deserted Island With Only One Tobacco...

    It would have to be Hal o' The Wynd, but if Stokkebye Bullseye flake could talk, it would scream betrayal.

    Your First Pipe & Tobacco

    I'm certain it was a a MM Legend I smoked from, as for the tobacco... hmm... not sure. It was an aromatic, either The Pipe Room's Enchanted Forest, or Lane 1Q. This was around roughly between 2005-2007.

    Payin' it Forward...

    I just returned to the hobby after a 13 year hiatus this October. I thought I quit after not smoking pipes for over a decade so I decided to get rid of everything; pipes, cellar, purely because I needed the money a year ago( I even gave away my best smoker on reddit in a lottery just to go out...

    ***What Are You Smoking? December 2019.***

    A hodge podge of 10+ different virginia/virginia periques which I collect and store in a small tin after it doesn't fit in the bowl, in a MM Missouri Pride cob. Surprisingly tasty.

    About To Give Up On Non Aromatics

    I think pipe smoking is a journey. Blends change. Tastes change. Pipes evolve, get broken in. It's all a long process of constant change. I would be surprised to hear of a pipe smoker who began on a given blend or even style of tobacco, and kept smoking that forever. Some people are of that...

    Dunbar Vs Dorchester

    If it helps, specifically the "lemongrassy" type of topping, I find is present in Dorchester if I look hard, and is very heavily present in Grousemoor but that's purely from memory. Looking forward to your findings :)

    Dunbar Vs Dorchester

    I've only had Dorchester but I will stop by purely to say that the topping reminds me a hint of the Grousemoor topping, but far milder of course. The only issue is the last time I've had Grousemoor was something like 13 years ago. Any care to confirm or deny this observation?

    Percolator Coffee

    I use a Bialetti almost daily. If you're seriously into coffee, do yourself a favor and pick one up on amazon or somewhere for a few bucks, get some good Ethiopean beans, grind em fresh, and you'll never look back to the old way you drank coffee. I would call it a a 33% espresso. You clearly...

    Jars Aren’t Just For Tobacco

    Tea Drinkers - What Online Stores Do You Use?

    I'm fairly seriously into tea as I am with pipe smoking. There's a tea culture out there, where people collect expensive tea ware, precious and rare aged teas, just like pipe, cigar, whiskey hobbyists do. This style of tea drinking is very different than tea culture in the west, largely inspired...

    So Who Here Likes Bourbon

    Total bourbon noob here, but my favorite cheap bourbon is Four Roses yellow. Give it a try if you've never had it, It's kind of like the "Jameson" of bourbon in it's character(clearly not in its status), you know how many people would recommend Jameson to someone who who has never tried whiskey...

    Top Ramen Noodles

    The trick is not getting the cheapo ramen. Instant ramen in Japan is a whole nother beast, if you're in a big city you can find some more exclusive brands in any asian market in the States. Look for "Myojo Chukazanmai". Really solid instant ramen.

    Which Are Your Favorite Coffee Blends

    Ethiopian Yirgacheffe I find is incredible no matter where I get it. Creamy, chocolately, deep flavor. If you've never had it, do yourself a favor.
