    Burley Lovers, Help A Brother Out

    I've gotten into sweeter/boozier codger burleys over the last year.....after a few years of English/Balkan smoking I'm now able to get richer, toasty/nutty/cocoa from these type of burleys I didn't when starting out with a pipe. I've tried a lot of blends, which I'm sure is true of many of us...

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

    SWRA in a Cuvy is the smoking, LTWK Gen 5 is the steel. Goofing off on my back property on a Saturday am.

    What Cigar are You Smoking?

    5 (Cinco) Vegas Gold (this is like a 1Q of the cigar world) Ashton Classic Oliva Connecticut AVO Classic #2 San Cristobal Elegancia I like the Brickhouse Connecticut....but it does follow the trend of spicing up the Connecticut offerings in the market the last few years. The first couple on...

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

    Loading up some Captain Boomer, heading out to the deck before I pick meetings back up at 5pm. New Northern Briars Magnum. Sometime you get a pipe that brings a bit of whimsy but still holds true to tradition. And sometimes you get a large pipe that still somehow feels magically light for...

    Water Flush Cleaning Technique

    This is totally and completely a half-assed theory by me.....but I've come around to assuming 'breaking in' (from a wet to a dry smoker perspective) is building up cake or carbon, or slightly charring/altering the wood around the draft hole, that changes air-flow for the better. Less that...

    Water Flush Cleaning Technique

    Haha, I'll always have your back on this jpmcwjr. I've used water on briar pipes since these topics first starting popping up a few years back and it's been markedly superior long-term to any other cleaning approach (for me). Would I use common sense around non-briar/non-wood materials...

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

    London Burley in a Rinaldo Skipper. Rainy but mild day, glad to be back smoking on the covered deck. Winter garage smoking just misses something on the experience ?

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

    I only got a few smokes in this before the cold came on....so back to getting some color going with some Aylesbury/Sillems Red. You know you are over 40 when you are kicking back on a Saturday and you find yourself excited because you get to put down seed/fertilizer in another two weeks. What...

    Fanboy of Jack Howell Pipes

    Nice pick-up ofafeather....I thought about that one this am as well. I have a paneled magnum Acorn commission pending soon from Jack.....I've bought two spec pipes and one one commission and they've all been aces. I'm sure it will be a terrific smoker for you! Usually when carvers come up in...

    Stokkebye Peaches & Cream Review

    Thanks for the share Nightshayde. Even with my recent forays into codger Burley blends....I'll always be an unreconstucted aro man at heart. I'll give this blend a peek for the Spring.

    Watch City Cigars Deluxe Crumb Cut

    I too dig on the WC DCC, nice write-up. At the fringes, kind of a stealth revival (in terms of chatter on the nets) of 'codger-style' Burley: Watch City Deluxe Crumb Cut Peretti Thanksgiving Day MacBaren London Blend SWRA/Mix 79 with strange new respect Burley Morning Pipe From being mainly...

    Cornell & Diehl - Awakened Elder

    Great review cory84. I think the whole series is pretty aces....Dreams of Kadath is high on many peoples list, but don't sleep on Mad Fiddler Flake if you haven't got to that in your adventures yet.

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

    Smoking some Cap'n Boomer in an Eltang Basic. 43 degrees out and feels like summer vacation after a couple weeks in the teens!

    Eaten

    While not my preferred pipe content, I vote for the David Lynchian poetry thread over the long-form trustafarian humble- brag threads. Also they should make a Jaws that features a Vampire outbreak, that seems like something Shudder could green light to fill some content.

    I Usually Report BBC News Articles Here; Last Tuesday I Was the News

    The US has, as of today, administered a reported 59M+ doses. The U.K. 17M+. That's #1 and #3 in the world. In terms of "per 100 citizens" dose metric the U.K. is #4 and the US #6. And those two countries manufactured the most effective vaccines. So....kinda not so bad on the aggregate. I...

    International Pipe Smoking Day 2021

    Thanks ofafeather. I'm pretty happy with it in-person, I expect it to be an A+ smoker but will give it a whirl and prove out. I went through my four stages of pipe buying on this for sure: 7pm "Mmm...good carver, not my style though". 8:30pm "Not my style, but interesting" 10pm "You know...

    International Pipe Smoking Day 2021

    The object of my earlier schmielbloch....an hour early for the IPSD sale but still in for the theme. I own two other Yeti's.....but they are somewhat off-the-usual for the maker. Lot of respect for Micah's skills but not usually a guy I chase.....but I saw this and in my minds eye it's exactly...
