    Smoke On The Water

    Or next to it actually. The Colorado River/Lake Mohave specifically. Very windy but still enjoyed my first taste of Watch City Rougaroux in my Danish canted egg by carver Doug ( member @doug535 ) with a glass of Italian red. A most excellent blend that I'm going to need to get some more of...

    The Joys Of Not Being A Latakia Fan

    Okay, I actually like Latakia but I'm not its biggest fan. I liken it to a peaty Scotch. Most people either love it or hate it but I'm just to the hate it side of the middle. I don't always care for it but when the mood strikes nothing else will do. This is where not being a fan comes into...

    Piping, The Desert, & Social Distancing

    Got out of the house for the day away from everyone to a place even ATVs have difficulty getting to. Man do I love my Jeep! Started with some C&D Pegasus courtesy of @BROBS in a cavalier by Sergey Senatorov and a glass of Cabernet: The view: Somewhere behind and below are the Colorado...

    Game: 5 Lb Cellar - Must Be Reasonably Available

    Other threads have been fun and got me thinking. So here are the rules: 1) The tobacco must be reasonably available. No unobtainiums. 2) Unlimited $ funds. 3) Limited to 5 Lbs total. 4) Pretend it's the only tobacco you'll ever be able to cellar. I'll post my list after thinking about it...

    Today's PAD Is Italian And Mixed With Some TAD

    Took advantage of the SP 20% off estates sale and stole picked up this unsmoked Mimmo Provenzano smooth Dublin: This estate Savinelli was up for $48 so I thought why not: Last but not least I ordered 4oz each of Arango Balkan Supreme, Sutliff Ready Rubbed Match, and Sutliff Match...

    Please Don't Do This To Your Pipes

    Some General Questions About Specific GH&C Blends

    I'm interested in trying a few more blends from GH&C. Of the blends I've tried I have found I either really like them or don't, not much in-between. There are a few exceptions of course. Blends I really like: Happy (Brown) Bogie Unsliced (love it) American Delight (love it) Dark Flake...

    GH&C American Delight vs GH&C Kentucky Nougat?

    I've tried both of these separately and back to back as well as in briars and meers. I did a novice impressions thread for the AD here: American Delight I can't decide if I want to cellar both or not. I'm definitely going to cellar one of them. The AD has a nice subtlety to it that I enjoy...

    Gave In To Panic Buying Today

    The governor announced mandatory "Non-Essential Businesses" shut downs today. Apparently he doesn't think GameStop and drive thru strip clubs are essential. I wasn't sure what liquor stores are considered so: I might just make it through this thing! ? ?

    Today's TAD!

    Came home to this in my mailbox today: Also got some Carolina Red Flake from @BROBS to sample in my mail too!

    Pipe Bidding Schadenfreude

    I've watched 3 of fish's pipes go for prices I didn't expect. (Not majorly different but percentage wise they were big differences.) The first 2 were a poker from Jerry Zenn and a pick axe from Todd Johnson. I noticed one of the bidders on the pipes is r***r, whomever that is, and has close...

    Red Virginias

    I could've alternatively titled this thread "Tangy Or Not Tangy, That Is The Question." Tangy is the quality I really like about reds and is what I'm after. I'm also only after current production. There is no need to suggest McClelland when it is no longer available. I've tried: Sutliff 515...

    Yet Another Mylar Bag Thread w/Pics!

    Just for those that are curious: Here's what $65 gets you: A bx delivered with 100 8'x12" 5mil bags and 100 500cc oxy absorbers: The bags can be written on nicely with a sharpie and it doesn't smear when dry (only takes a couple seconds to dry) and I use the sealer on my 15 year old...

    GH&C American Delight Novice Impressions

    Just my first impressions of this blend here. First off, it's not the most exciting blend in the world but it was enjoyable. It packed and lit well right out of the zip top bag it was shipped in (smoked the same day it was received in the mail). It smoked nice and cool with only a few initial...

    JJJ Lighter From Japan

    Just got this Japanese butane lighter and pipe knife combo for $10 on fleabay: The knife is engraved "Class of ...." on one side and has initials on the other side. Description says everything works and the seller has 100% positive feedback so I decided to take a chance. At only $10...
