    C&D Sunbear 2021 Edition “Black Locust”

    I popped a tin of the previous years release, and in a weird change of heart decided I have enough tins already. Sat this one out. Sunbear is definitely one that I look forward to trying with several years of age on it. Love that people are into a Va/Or this much though. Bring on more Va/Ors!

    When Will Car Prices Come Down?

    All this is kinda wack cause I'm trying to buy a new Silverado/Sierra and have had my current truck for way too long.

    Pear-Wood or Corn Cob for Beginner?

    MM diplomat series or Mark Twain would be my suggestion. I like the acrylic stem versions but they don't have the open draw of the Danish plastic bits, which I love love love love.

    C&D Sunbear 2021 Edition “Black Locust”

    I'm curious whether the tequila and elderberry is even in this year's batch, as it wasn't mentioned in C&Ds ad. Either way I'll add to my Sunbear stack. All Va/Ors are an automatic buy for me. Eight State Burley has been so good I can't stop smoking it, so if anything I feel like the C&D...

    Spicy Boi's First Grow - 2021

    Started with the goal this year of learning to grow, cure, and process my own tobacco. After some research I decided to go with the the following varietals: -Yellow Twist Bud, YTB (Burley) -Canik (a black sea Samsun Turkish oriental) -Yenidje (AKA Xanthi Yaka, a Greek oriental) I bought all my...

    The Pipe Tobacco Subreddit Is A Mess

    The poor people that are learning to smoke a pipe, or about pipe tobacco in general, and use reddit as their learning grounds.... The newest source of entertainment:

    Gorode Pipes

    I bought one ages ago. The drilling was severely off, and the pipe itself felt as if it was coated in a cheap plastic-y finish. While I do not normally say negative things about pipe products as a matter of personal preference, I would recommend you direct your purchase elsewhere if you have...

    Long Term Cob Torture Test: 6 Months Under The Elements

    Having abused a cob quite handily, I can tell you the real threat to a cob is getting wet by leaving it out in the rain. The glue they use don't like rain. Other than that they are tanks. Protip: beeswax is the shizzle for cobs. Melts easy, seals gaps, works great to stop chipping, etc...

    Escudo: Not What You Once Were

    I happen to like the new escudo, though it was aging in a mason jar in the trunk of a hot car for a couple years. When it was fresh, I definitely was not a fan - the taste of the VA's was robust but hollow at the same time. Compared to an older tin, the newer stuff has more of a...

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2021?***

    Smoking a blend I've dubbed "Haddo's Respite" (70:30 Haddos to Sutliff TS24 Blended Turkish), in my 1988 Ashton XXX Pebble Grain. Interesting blend for an interesting pipe.

    Blends Like Quiet Nights?

    This is good advice. I'm not an English/Balkan blend smoker like in the past, and I greatly prefer my Va/Ors (without latakia). Being that Quiet Nights is my favorite of its genre, I believe you too, OP, would like Virginia/Oriental blends without latakia.

    There's a sampler that includes the tempus and prensado that shows up every now and then on slickdeals. Not even $2 a stick.
