    Regional Delicacies / Specialties Of Your Area

    Being an aficionado of root beer, here’s a regional favorite, and quite different from your standard A&W, Mug, Frostytop brands, a hearty, almost ale like quality.

    Regional Delicacies / Specialties Of Your Area

    Ah; Maywood Park. I used to frequent there until the great riot of the late 90’s. They were holding Super Night because Balmoral Park was unavailable. I thought I had that once in a lifetime play, dropping a 1to9 Chalk from my exotic plays. Horse indeed ran fifth, and I had a 40to1 on top of...

    Regional Delicacies / Specialties Of Your Area

    Here’s a regional soda which was the de facto “Generic” Brand. They used to manufacture over 50 varieties. But grocers began marketing their own “house/generic” brands and Canfield’s was sold and dissolved? They had a lemon lime soda that was MILES better than the likes of Sprite/Slice/7 Up...

    Deep Dish pizza. Though I prefer the “better” version from the Oven Grinder, which is an upside down pizza bowl.

    A few regional delights; which I’m sure are now produced to varying degrees of success across the States.Superdawg (a Chicago classic: neon green Relish, kosher dill pickle, onions, sport peppers, mustard, and a pickled Tomoteo....a deviation from standard Chicago style dog which uses red...

    Only filling the bowl 1/4

    No numeric delegation. It’s called a Belgique. It’s like a shorter 124.

    Only filling the bowl 1/4

    Or you could buy a smaller pipe. I’ve bowl sizes that range from 2hr smoke, down to a tiny Pete, that’ll last me 8 minutes

    Cringle at Emerson's.

    Wrong forum, you should move this to Tobacco Discussion or General Discussion.

    Black Friday.

    That USED to be Christmas Eve? Back in the late 80’s/early 90’s I’d do my shopping on Christmas Eve. I was literally the only customer in the Fox Valley Mall; whereas there were easily 6,000-7,000 in the days leading up to it. Yes; the selection was threadbare, but I had run of the place. No...

    De La Concha Irish Moss

    Wrong forum; You should probably post this in the General Pipe Smoking Discussion, or the Pipe Tobacco Discussion. Unless; of course, you’re looking for this specific tobacco to buy/trade. *****You also need a Date in the header per the Tobacco Sell/Swap/Search rules.

    Subscription Box?

    I don’t see anything on Boswell’s site about offering a Muttonchop sampler. When TP did it, they didn’t package them together; but did offer the 1/4 oz samples, you had to go to the specific blends though. I don’t see any option on Boswell’s

    List Of Endangered Blends?

    Got mine in about a week (didn’t even get caught up at the Chicago Customs Center, which is probably the WORST in USA. Had a pipe shipped from Germany, it was in Chicago in Two days, then sat for Nine months at the Chicago center. Fortunately I’ve several buddies in the Postal Inspectors so they...

    List Of Endangered Blends?

    I knew what you meant? Just one wise acre responding to another? (Though, I never get better deals via Estervals on IPSD) And usually score better deals on individual blends throughout the year.

    21st? I first thought you were referring to IPSD, but that’s the 20th.

    List Of Endangered Blends?

    Just stock up on what YOU like. Tobacco will never be cheaper or more readily available than now

    Pipe Cleaners?

    BJ Long tapered (they work best for Peterson System Pipes, don’t get caught in the draught, reservoir transition point).?

    How do you Choose What to Smoke?

    I’m a huge 965 fan; so that gets smoked a lot. But generally it depends upon the season: Winter I prefer straight Vas, but will smoke “Christmas”Aros from now until January (Christmas Cookie, Kohlhasse & Kopp Winter Blend, Bought The Storytellerspipe Holly King this year?, used to smoke Peterson...

    New to this.

    I’d suggest some TheStorytellerspipe house blends. Also, when P&C has them on sale, the 6 pouch sample of Brigadier Black, they’ve two vanilla, a cherry blend, a chocolate and nougat blend, a Peach blend. Boswell’s also has several Aros that are quite good... Christmas Cookie???? And I like...
