What are You Reading Now?
I used to buy extra used copies of Cyrano anytime I saw one at a used bookstore so I'd aways have one on hand to throw into someone's lap whenever they said they'd never read it.- Butter Side Down

I know. But honestly, that ship sailed long ago, so it's just one more log for the fire.- Butter Side Down

This May be Heresy........
I'm just putting this out there, not necessarily making any recommendations, but... For the people who really hate it, if you have patience and a steady hand and a few tools, you can convert a p-lip. It's not hard. Takes anywhere from 10 minutes to a couple of hours depending on how much you...- Butter Side Down

Peterson or IM Corona
I did a side by side comparison a few months ago. The post was specifically Old Boy vs. Karibi Kabuto, but later on in the thread, Sykes confirmed that the Karibi Kabuto and Peterson are the same lighter produced in the same factory with only a few minor cosmetic differences. At any rate... the...- Butter Side Down

Chicago 2024: Who's going?
Fine to PM me so as not to hijack the thread, but as an expert, do you have any insight on why the Milverton is so hard to find in the natural and dark smooth finish?- Butter Side Down

Trying Out Gawith Blends and Sharing My Impressions
If you generally liked Brown Bogie but thought it was a little much, it might be worth trying Dark Birdseye at some point. I know it's supposed to be the same tobacco, but I find DBE to be a little milder and less cigar-ish. Not that I have anything against heavy, cigar-ish blends. I totally dig...- Butter Side Down

Chicago 2024: Who's going?
I'll be there. Not sure which days yet. Don't need to book a room because it's only a 20 minute drive from my house. 😉 I'm hoping they do the pipemaking workshop again this year. If they do, I'll definitely make an effort to get there for that.- Butter Side Down

***What Are You Smoking, December 2023?***
If you've ever tried them, do you have any thoughts on how it compares to the old Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky or Peter Heinrich's Dark Strong? The descriptions sound like it might be similar.- Butter Side Down

If you could only smoke one blend...
Speaking only for myself, sometimes I wonder if I wouldn't be happier if I just smoked one thing all the time. I just can't seem to actually make myself do it though. If I had to, then I'm sure I could be quite content with Rattray 40 Virginia, Old Dark Fired, Orlik Golden Sliced, or Dark...- Butter Side Down

Esoterica Brighton: First Impressions
Made my second run at Brighton this morning. I think I might have overdone the drying this time. Upside: the flavor was definitely more consistent top to bottom. Downside: it did lose more of the topping than I would have liked. Next time I'll shoot for a point somewhere in-between. This being...- Butter Side Down

Movies with Pipe Smoking Scenes
Too many replies to read them all so apologies if this has already been on here. Just watched a great western from 1948 called Station West. It's the closest thing to a noir western I've ever seen. Complete with not one but two femme fatales. Dick Powell plays the lead and smokes a pipe off...- Butter Side Down
