    Undemanding Blends

    A number of C&D ribbon blends; Star of the East Gold, Stratfordshire, Good Morning among others. Just a pleasure to smoke. Effortless and consistent.

    Do you Smoke Right handed or Left handed?

    Pretty much exclusively a left hand holder. Only clinch briefly to free up both hands. Right hand dominant - but as a touring drummer for many years I can play independent time signatures in each hand without much effort. I’ll be darned if I’ve ever tried lighting a bic with the left tho! Now...

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

    Some fresh Mac Baren Plumcake is reminding me not to get sloppy with my slow smoking. The Carey Magic Inch pot is def helping keep the sting at bay!

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

    First pipe of the day; fittingly, C&D Morning Drive with about 15% added Latakia in an EA Carey smooth pot.

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

    Beautiful Sunday afternoon on the Carolina coast. Smoking some SG Sam’s Flake in a 1998 Ashton Pebblegrain Pot that I purchased from Bill directly as a young piper. Good memories of a great pipe maker and gentleman.

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

    Getting a bowl of 2019 Buffalo Soldier in before the Buckeyes kick-off. Ugly Carey that incinerates like nobody’s business!

    Does C&D Still Press Blends To Order?

    It’s worth checking with the powers that be, but this was def a Tarler crew thing from back in the day. I’m still sitting on a number of 1lb blocks of a couple different blends.

    In Buying Pipes, are You a Quick Sale or Otherwise?

    I’m pretty much operating under a sell one to buy one protocol these last few years. After 30 years of collecting my “rotation” doesn’t have any dogs in it, so only a couple new additions every year. I’m about to sell off a trio of meerschaum pipes that I’m just not smoking (2 are unsmoked...

    Recent TAD Pick-Ups

    Couldn’t pass up the P&C $20 off a week ago - plus they still had some GH in stock. Grabbed a 500gr box of Louisiana Flake, a tin of Hansom Flake and rounded out the $100 with pipe cleaners. $86 to my door in 2 days - feels like stealin’ ?

    Christmas is Coming Early this Year

    What a haul! Remind me what’s in the “Playing with fire” bundle?

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

    Been a minute since I posted on the WAYS thread - but October felt like a good time to resume. First pipe today is 2018 G.L. Pease Ashbury in this Northern Briars bent billiard with a silver band in serious need of polishing :)

    Lakelands: Let's Build A Sauce Scale

    A notably late reply on this one, but I’m having this precise experience with Sam’s flake. I left it in the tin for 2-weeks and noticed such a drop in essence that I quickly jarred it. I’ve got a half dozen tins back and I think I’m going to just jar them immediately. I definitely prefer it with...

    Dark Star

    Much like the coffee grinder recommendation, I picked up an herb grinder on Amazon for the likes of Dark Star, Butera Dark Stoved and lately; S&G Sam’s Flake. I like that I have total control on the grind, and other than the “herb” related ad content that now pops up in my “recommended for you”...

    How Many Blends Do You Have Open at One Time?

    I keep 12 blends in my active rotation. At an avg of 2 bowls a day, I’m smoking through a tin’s worth every 8-12 days. Once I finish a tin, I pull something new from the cellar to take its place. Been on this rotation for a few years now. For me it’s a great combination of smoking a blend...

    How Do You Save a Blend

    I’ll occasionally try blending two or more blends that just aren’t doing it for me together to see what comes of it - my expectations, and the results, are usually pretty low. Once in a while, they just click. My 60/40 mix of C&D Yale Mixture & Dunhill the Aperitif is a keeper. I call it Yale...
