    A Habit for the Wealthy? Aged Smokes?

    When I found these forums (2013 and 2014), everyone here was having a nutty about the deeming regs and that THE END WAS NEAR. Ergo I got swept up into the Tobacco-apocalypse. I bought a bunch of tins, filling two plastic storage bins of English/Balkan/Latakia. Naturally, I switched over to...

    The Pipe Smoker's Paraphernalia

    Vehemently anti-dressing up. Did the coat and tie/suit. Don't wanna anymore. I will not post a picture of me smoking in a T-shirt and boxers on a lazy baseball Sunday afternoon because I consider you my friends.

    Unlikely to Ever Get to Try Penzance

    OK, so a long time ago (mid-90s), I worked at Sherlock's Haven in San Francisco. The shop had Esoterica lying around. It was a popular tobacco line, no doubt, but easily available. To the tune of $25 for 8 oz. and $5-10 for a 2 oz. tin. Penzance was just another smoke. Very good, but not worth...

    [Euros 2020] That's Actually Happening In 2021

    Amen JPMCWJR. Holy cow, the Copa America final was a whistle-fest. What is fascinating is watching international tournaments is we're not the only ones. The high school kids I cover in soccer usually flop for the first week of the season after a Copa America, Euro or World Cup, and then realize...

    Confectionery Tobacciana

    OK, I admit it. I'm 49 now, but when I was a kid, I loved me some Big League Chew, gum which came in a tobacco-style pouch and the gum-style cigarettes. Not that I look for them now, but I would bet they are frowned upon as they may lead to children smoking. Ironically, I've always hated...

    Latakia Doesn't Age Well ... Or Does It?

    As one who has two tubs-worth of English-style pipe tobacco in tins with 5-7 years, I am happier than a pig in slop. (Being born and raised in San Francisco, I'm not used to using a phrase like that.) The 7-year-old Gaslight in my pipe is saying, "Yum."

    What Are the Most Fireproof Blends?

    JMill wins the Internet for Saturday. FVF and anything else Gawith. Dry it for days.

    Windjammer

    OK, bigger question. I love Navigator, which I took for GLP's take on navy flake. Under the principles that one can never too much of a good thing -- be it more GLP blends or more navy flakes -- how do we think Windjammer compares to Navigator?

    Today, October 1, is National Older Persons Day

    Thank you, Smudgers! What the fudge is up with all of these "days."

    GLP's VaPers...

    I go with Sothron on GLP's riffs on VaPers. While I have a good stock of Fillmore, I really like Sixpence and Triple Play. Just love those two.

    H.R. 2339

    The state of Kentucky is the second-largest producer of tobacco in the country. Love him or hate him, Mitch McConnell is up for reelection this year and will be engaged in CYA.

    MLB Thread

    San Francisco Giants since 1977, and content with life. The picture of me to the left is 1978 at ye olde Candlestick. What a decade. All our hopes and dreams, after much heartbreak, came to fruition on Nov. 1, 2010, as Brian Wilson struck out Nelson Cruz, and who would have believed what...

    Is Golf Fading?

    Love golf. A pipe smoker usually, I generally have cigars on the golf course. Golfed in San Francisco, not exactly known for its tolerance for smoking, and no problems.

    I Love Flakes. I Also Hate Them.

    FVF ... dry it. Then dry it some more. After that, dry it. Then repeat the three previous steps.

    Cellars....Stash

    I've got to say I thought I was obsessive about collecting tobacco, but now feel a whole lot more well-adjusted about my tobacco collection after seeing some of these photos. With a mere 40-50 pounds of pipe tobacco, I seem downright restrained.

    Is It Truly Aged?

    The good news is that it's Gawith. That stuff takes forever to dry.
