    Thanksgiving: After you feasted, what did you smoke?

    @prariedruid - how do you like the Warhorse? I've yet to try it, but find it very intriguing from the description

    Black Friday

    I agree with Jim & Duane. There aren't any deals really pulling at me right now. If you really need more briars for the rotation, P&C's Baraccini sale could be a really good one though

    Olive pipe

    I've wanted to try an olive wood pipe for years. That one looks very nice, and the matching pen makes it a very cool set. Congrats, and enjoy!

    Maybe its me?

    For the blends I'm not going to smoke within about a week, I jar in half pint jars. For bulks, or larger than 2 oz tins, I put in larger jars with about 1 oz. or so in a small 4oz jelly jar. This small jar is my "smoking" jar I dip into. When jar is empty I refill from the larger one. This...

    Dark Star

    I slice it thin with scissors and then break it up a bit when I open a tin. Before each bowl, I usually give it an hour or so of dry time on a sheet of paper (I live in a very dry climate). I then crumble it a bit into the pipe and go. I often need a few re-lights, but with my smoking style...

    Amazon Cracks Down On Incentivized Reviews

    I've always been suspicious of those reviews even though many state something to the effect of, "Full disclaimer, I recieved a discount on this product for my unbiased review." Seems a bit shady to me. Some products have this for more than half their reviews. I'm glad Amazon is cracking down...

    DC Comics Blends

    From the Sandman Series. A blend named after each of the endless would be cool. Dream- A blend of sweet Virginias, Perique, a little black cavendish, and topped with a mysterious flavor reminiscent of vanilla and long forgotten memories. This blend will carry you straight to Morpheus' realm...

    Keeping Hands Busy

    I do little wood carvings. Animals out of scrap, wooden spoons, Santa Christmas ornaments, etc... I use very sharp knives and do NOT smoke while I carve. Depending on my mood some days, I spend more time on smoke breaks than carving though. As an extension, I collect knives. Both the small...

    Tobacco Manufacturers & Pipe Smokers In The USA.

    Funny. I always thought of England, Ireland, and Scotland as having many more pipe smokers. Cigarettes and, to a lesser extent, flavored gas station cigars are the largest market share here in the US, so I think that's where the large companies focus.

    What are You Reading?

    Christopher Moore's "Lamb" for about the 15th time. Always makes me giggle

    How to kill a ghost

    Just remember not to cross streams!! Wait, I think that's what the wise philosopher Bill Murray once said.... Seriously, just smoke your preferred tobacco in that pipe for 3-5 bowls, and the ghost should be gone. at least enough to enjoy other flavors

    Official FREE Pay It Forward Thread

    Don't be afraid. I received a sample from pipesmokingtom recently and it was pretty good. Not interesting enough to hold my attention for long, but pretty decent OTC type baccy. Not nearly as scary as all the guff it gets

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (November 2016)

    Secret Santa gifted McC2015 in Mastro De Paja Billiard. Just as nice and sweet as I remember.

    Movember Smokes and Beard

    I grow a beard for a few months once every 3 years or so. Every time, I'm reminded that my 1/2 Irish self has patches missing that don't allow me to grow a 'full' beard. I know that there are many Irishmen with full beards, my particular genetics don't allow it. I'm guessing that's the...
