    Need a Close Cousin to Blue Mountain

    Smoker's Haven Exotique is similar (I think). Great tobacco (if you can find it). Jason

    Blow It out Your Nose

    Yup, I regularly retrohale. It does enhance the flavor. Some blends are not good to retrohale as they can burn. I made the mistake of smoking straight perique once (only to see what it was like) and retrohaled it. There is a reason it is a "condiment" to be added to a blend and not smoked...

    Get your Penzance!!

    Crap.. not anymore. I had the pleasure of smoking a bowl of this a few days ago. Man is that stuff good!!! I found drinking black coffee complimented the smoke a great deal. Jason

    Smoking Less

    I am using about 16 different pipes so I have a rotation going. I usually do start of with something milder. I cleaned my pipes about 2 months ago but I do reach for the same ones a little more frequently. Maybe I just need a good cleaning again. Jason

    Smoking Less

    So I have been smoking about 3 bowls a day on average since I discovered the wonderful world of English blends back in November. Before that, I would smoke about a bowl a week or less. I have discovered that I am getting pipe smoking burnout. I am not tasting the flavors of milder blends so I...

    Hearth & Home Black House

    So here is my take on Black House vs. Blue Mountain: Blue Mountain to me is like a really good steak. Lots of good savory flavors. Black House is the same steak but with a spicy edge that leaves that spicy feeling at the back of your throat. I like both but I prefer Blue Mountain over Black...

    Wheels of Time by Robert Jordan

    Ahh yes, Wheel of Time series. I am currently on book three. I love the story line and the characters. My favorite character thus far is Perrin and his struggle with his "other half". Mat is annoying (and of course he is meant to be). And I have a thing for Moiraine :) I think the Ways are...

    TAD Purchases

    No they are not. You will need to take it out and put them in a mason jar. They are packed inside a ziplock bag in the box. Jason

    P/TAD Anonymous

    Uh.. so is this where I get some free coffee? :mrgreen: Well.. uh.. I have spent almost $350.00 in tobacco since early December and my wife found out. I sure am glad the dog has wifi in here. Just wish there was some heat. The straw only goes so far and the dog hogs it all. Jason

    Is 1Q What It's Cracked Up to Be?

    Regarding 1Q: It was my first tobacco. It is a step above the OTC brands IMO. I have had 1Q on hand ever since I first started smoking pipes in 1997. It is definitely a crowd pleaser. The taste is somewhat monochromatic but good. As I have explored English blends, I notice this more. I will...

    My Trip to See Tim West

    Hey guys, My fellow brier brothers at work and I visited Tim West today at his home/workshop. We were invited to come downstairs where he repaired my Peterson 1997 St Patrick's Day pipe and my Jobey pipe I picked up in the Cayman Islands. Tim did a great job at getting both my pipes operating...

    Making Anything Special for Superbowl?

    The Superbowl is a great excuse to cook something and hang out with friends. We are planning to head across the street to our neighbors to hang out, watch the game, and eat!! I will be making chili with Italian sausage and hamburger. Of course, for my family, the Daytona 500 is a bigger event...

    What Are You Smoking? *January 2013*

    I am forgetting my obligation (that I have placed on myself :) ) and updating this thread! Here goes... Over the weekend, I smoked Squadron leader in my Boswell up at the Observatory. On Sunday, I smoked FM Cellar in my basket pipe Zulu on the way to band practice. At band practice, had a...
