    Peterson POTY for 2019

    This looks to be in the same family as my Peterson Bent Bulldog, which was my first pipe.

    What’s Your Top Choices For Virginias?

    I’m a Latakia fan and have focused on English blends, so I haven’t explored Virginias. What’s your top personal choices for Virginias?

    OTC burley blends - differences?

    I’ve smoked PA, CH, SWR, Half &Half, and my first tobacco was CB, which bit like a rabid dog. I now avoid the last three, and ended up regularly smoking a 50/50 mix of PA and CH. I can’t discern distinct flavors well, but this mix tastes better to me than either PA or CH alone. The only time I...

    Getting Back To The Good Stuff (Tobacco Order)

    Of the blends in my list up there, Da Vinci and Ten Russians have been favorites. Nightcap was my top choice when it was around. I read some of you saying Mountain Camp was similar, which is why I ordered that. What’s your experience with Levant Mixture? I ordered that on a whim.

    Beards, Who's Rocking One?

    Goateed since the mid 1980s I started pipe smoking in the 2010s.

    Best place to order pipe tobacco

    Smokingpipes. I’ve never ordered tobacco from anywhere else. Likewise for buying pipes, although I did get two NOS pipes from eBay once and I had one pipe made to order from a guy who’s name I’ve forgotten.

    I should have placed this in the Tobacco Discussion section. Moderator? Move this if you agree.

    Getting Back To The Good Stuff (Tobacco Order)

    I’ve been smoking PA and CH mixed together for over a year. Tonight I placed an order for the good stuff. New to me are blends marked • Cornell & Diehl: Bow-Legged Bear 2oz Cornell & Diehl: Pirate Kake 2oz Cornell & Diehl: Billy Budd 2oz • Cornell & Diehl: Mountain Camp 2oz • Cornell &...

    Smoking The Crumbs

    I’d saved my empty tins from when I was smoking something other than PA and CH. I’m missing the good stuff so today I dumped all the crumbs left in those tins and got 1-1/2 pipes worth. Now I remember what I’ve been missing! Components were mostly from heavier Latakia blends.

    Best of These with Carter Hall or Separately?

    I’ve been smoking a 50/50 mix of CH and PA and that’ll cake up your pipe!

    My first experience

    I think by trying distinctively different blends you’ll get a sense of the flavors.

    The Emperor's New Clothes, Musings of a New Pipe Smoker

    This is definitely the place for intelligent and courteous conversation about pipe smoking.

    OTC

    For financial convenience I’ve been smoking a 50/50 mix of Prince Albert and Carter Hall for quite a long time now. It’s okay but doesn’t satisfy like the Latakia blends I love.

    Rogue One: Feminist Revistionist Crap

    My interest in Star Wars vaporized when Samuel Jackson and that whiny character (Jarjar?) showed up. I quit right then in disgust and have had no interest since. I personally never cared about Luke or the Princess or the comic book Dark Father (Darth Vader) anyway. As far as political...

    Words and Phrases You’ve Come to Hate

    I recall in the 1980s, in academic writing, paradigm and deep structure were used ad nauseum apart from Kuhn's and Chomsky's applications. Aporia is popular with the hegemony crowd. The problem is that people often let language do their thinking for them, which means they're not thinking much at...

    Favorite OTC blend and why...

    This Borkum Riff is a pleasant smoke. 60% Black Cavendish, 40% Virginia. It seems a "cleaner" tobacco than Prince Albert and Carter Hall. Not as wet and gooey.
