    What are You Listening To? ~ September, 2021

    Been listening to a lot of Saxon, Stratovarious, and Kamelot these past few weeks.

    All Day Blends

    Not too heavy on the nicotine, not harsh. Lane Burley LWAB. Any Captain Black. Most bulk Lanes, really. Early Morning Pipe. Nicotine is subjective, but I wouldn't smoke Key Largo all day, for example.

    Selecting Your First Pipe

    Pipe chooses you. You'll know. Some will say "Just get a 7 dollar cob." Some will say "Get a nice briar." But you'll see a shape you like. I'd say a good first pipe would be like a 30, 40, 50 dollar briar. Medico, Kaywoodie, Dr. Grabow, Yello-Bole, Crown (when P & C has them in stock), Molina...

    Mouth Still Irritated - Pipe Materials - Tabac - Aggressiveness?

    I only ever use matches, but I don't know if that makes much of a difference. How long have you been smoking a pipe? It really just goes away. I smoke at least 6 bowls a day. I just don't get any sort of noticeable bite that lasts any more than a few seconds. You eventually just roast your...

    ***What Are You Smoking, September 2021?***

    Some fresh bulk Haunted Bookshop in a Peterson Aran Rusticated 68 Bent Brandy. I like to just sprinkle the new bulk stuff in the old tin I've had around, and keep the rest in the baggie. Haunted Bookshop is so dry, I don't think it's possible for it to get stale.

    An Ode to Paul's Pipe Shop, Flint, Mi

    I ordered three pipes from them in July when they were having an annual sale. All were new old stock, 45 years old and up. I got them all within 2-3 days, beautiful pipes. Will definitely buy from them again.

    ***What Are You Smoking, September 2021?***

    Smoked Sutliff Danish Cavendish several times today in a two different Baraccini Lovats. I know it has way more ingredients, but this has a pretty similar taste profile to Butternut Burley, to me. I taste the same clean burley in the midst of all that sweetness, but this also has Virginia and...

    Good Straight Out Of The Box

    I've never had a bad experience with a brand new pipe. I enjoy breaking them in and getting comfortable with them, but sometimes I love that new pipe taste. Sometimes it takes several smokes to burn off that carbon taste with Rossis and Stanwells, I've noticed, though.

    Returning/non traditional college student? I'm a professor. I love it. I have a really fun time tying modern comic book movies into classical theatre convention for the young students.

    Anyone Use Their Savinelli Without The Adapter?

    All the time. Balsa filter a no go. No adapters added.

    What Do You Smoke??

    Just pipes. No cigarettes since roughly 2004. No cigars since maybe 2010. Started pipes in the '90s, stopped for a long time, came back about 2 3/4 years ago. Now I can't see life without them.

    ***What Are You Smoking, September 2021?***

    Some William Conrad's favorite, Amphora Full Aroma (Match Blend) in a Nording Freehand Signature Black. Breaking it in.

    ***What Are You Smoking, September 2021?***

    Just realized it's September. Lane Burley LWAB started in this Stanwell Black Rustico about 10 minutes ago, but now it's September! Can't wait for better weather...

    Lane Burley LWAB in a Stanwell Rustico Straight Bulldog. It started it August, but it's 12:05 AM so now it's September!

    Sun Bear Black Locust in a Molina Barrasso Bent Dublin. Unexpected life happens moment, I'm typing this on a brand new laptop, since my old one died about 2.5 hours ago.

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2021?***

    Many smokes on a long commute today. Same general stuff this week: Captain Black Gold and Three Friars, a little bulk Lane BCA. Smoked a Brebbia Avanti Bent Billiard, Stanwell Featherweight Straight Apple, Crown Garden Red Oom Paul, and a MacQueen Barrel Rider tonight at a Shakespeare rehearsal...

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2021?***

    I smoked a lot of Captain Black Gold today in a Rossi Vittoria Straight Dublin, a Brigham Voyageur Straight Rhodesian, and a Crown Garden Red Oom Paul. I got a bulk order and went to town. I hadn't had any in about a month.
