    Show Off Your Danes

    Well...I just ordered this Nording Signature Black Freehand. Now I anxiously await it. I have two Stanwells, but they're newer ones that are made in Italy now. Do they still count?

    I think the main difference is Captain Black blends have a bunch of propylene glycol for shelf life. Most of the Captain Blacks have a Lane counterpart, but the bulk Lane blend is more "pure."

    Nicotine Strength

    Nic hits are subjective. I've talked to people that got sick from smoking 1Q as new smokers. I've talked to people that swear Haunted Bookshop has a heavy nic hit for them. And then there are people that can smoke ropes and shrug it off. I haven't had a cigarette in about 17 years, but my body...

    CB Royal is essentially Lane 1Q. It does the trick! I love Captain Black Gold. It's finally available in bulk again from a few retailers. I could smoke that any time.

    A fellow Newminster BB fan. After my last post, I had it again, this time straight.

    My home mix "Diogenes Club." (Peterson Sherlock Holmes + Newminster Blackberry Brandy, roughly 50/50. ) In a Molina Barasso Straight Blue Billiard. Earlier had Butternut Burley and MM Great Dane in a Baraccini Raffinato Lovat while I waited for a tire to get fixed!

    That's not a pipe. That's a viking weapon!

    Thanks, mate. It looks like Va/Oriental without added Lat or Perique are harder to come by, though.

    I'm smoking Sun Bear Black Locust for the first time, I won it from Tobacco Pipes Twitter contest. Pipe is a Rossi Vittoria 6815 Lumberman. This stuff is good...I don't think I've smoked anything that was a Va/Oriental Turkish before without Lat or other complements. What is similar to this, if...

    Not to mention Thulsa Doom is a Kull villain! I wish they'd make that King Conan movie with old gray Arnie already.

    Where Do You Search for Pipes?

    In the U.S., I have bought from Pipes and Cigars, Smoking Pipes, Tobacco Pipes, Paul's Pipe Shop, and Greywoodie. P&C is the closest to me, I usually check them first, but I've had success with all of these places. (Paul's Pipe Shop has speedy shipping, too.) I've never bought an Estate pipe or...

    Lane Burley LWAB in a Peterson Dracula 87 Straight Apple. I had several pipe loads in my Brebbia Avanti Bent Billiard and a Crown Oom Paul in my car today, Three Friars, MM Great Dane, Smoker's Pride Black Cav, and Dunhill EMP Match. I drive about 90 minutes away for one of my adjunct jobs...

    Lane Burley and Black (out of production, RIP) in a Stanwell Black Rustico Straight Bulldog. (At least Lane HG 2000 is still around.)

    I've got three Kull books and a pile of comics within arms reach!

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

    Forgot to mention the pipe from my last post: a Yello-Bole Centura, made between '73-'77. Now having some Lane Burley LWAB, minus the Lat this time.

    When Will the Ax Fall?

    Is Key Largo getting killed by this?? Deeming regulations killed Burley and Black for me, and forced Butternut Burley into a BYO. But so far everything else I like has been safe.

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

    I just sat down for a nice 50/50 mix of Lane Burley LWAB and a blending Latakia, and my Corgi informs me she has to go out. I'm pretty sure half the town recognizes me as professor pipe guy with the Corgi.

    Nice Avatar. Cotton! I have a DVD of a 1974ish production of King Lear, and he plays Oswald. I recognized him right away. He was uncredited.

    Smoker's Pride Black Cavendish (Which I'm preeeeettty sure is just Lane BCA) in my Brebbia Avanti Bent Billiard.
