    How Many of the Pipes You Own Do You Smoke?

    I've got 7 Briars and 3 Cobs. Rarely smoke the Cobs. When home, I smoke a lot, so I don't rotate pipes, except I tend to smoke 5 of the seven Briars more, letting the Poker and large Radice Billiard rest. I need more pipes.

    What are You Reading?

    That Ken Burns documentary is excellent. I had Shelby Foote's books and lost them to a mini flood years ago. Hadn't read them, so I plan to get them again someday. Burns' film on Jazz is another good one. Likewise, Lewis and Clarke.

    What Are Your Fall Blends?

    This is my first Autumn (my favorite season) as a pipe smoker, but I'm hooked on heavy Latakia, so will stick with it. On high temps and humidity - I hear that dry heat isn't as bad. Here in MN if it's 80 or above, it's a sauna. Give me 65 year round, and I'd be happy.

    This forum in China and on phones

    This site is fine without a phone ap. Flip sideways and pinch expand. I've got an unlimited data contract so no worries. Some sites - I like their ap. Amazon and (ahem) OKCupid are good.

    Tobacco "Wish List"

    I just checked reviews on Hudson's Bay. I feel like I dodged a bullet. It mimics Royal Yacht, the only tinned tobacco I found putrid. Pfhew!

    Cornell & Diehl tobaccos (alphabetized list)

    Excellent. I was thinking of doing that for the Latakia blends - to compare components. No need to, now.

    Cancel that book by Stout. Too much fluff.

    This forum in China and on phones

    Why is the site blocked, do you think? Is tobacco considered subversive?

    Tobacco "Wish List"

    I made a list yesterday. Criteria were: I haven't tried it; it's heavy with Latakia; it comes in a metal "shoe polish" tin. Dan Tobacco - Midnight Ride, Bill Bailey's Balkan, Gordon Pym Comoys - Cask No. 1 Petersons - Balkan Delight, Old Dublin Ashton - Artisan's Blend Brigham - Auroa...

    I'm fascinated with how people might confuse cultural mores for moral truth.
