    Morning Smoke?

    I tend to start with Baby's Butt since that's the only time has any worthwhile flavor.

    What a Difference a Continental Divide Makes!

    I expect someday there'll be a helmet law for children.

    Hermit-Captain Earle's Private Stock

    I like Private Stock and was disappointed in Ten Russians. I'm on my first bowl of Stimulus Package and suspect it has Red Virginia, because I'm getting that sharp, pointed sensation on my tongue as I got from Diamond Head.

    Black House, Hearth&Home-Review

    BlackHouse is on my list for restocking. Good stuff.

    What's Your Favorite Sandwich?

    Man, you guys are connoisseurs of everything that involves the palate! Every time I go to Subway, I get the same thing: roast beef with everything but lettuce and spinach, with a swoosh of sweet onion condiment. Never toasted. If I get a burger somewhere, I always specify "no cheese". I love...

    Scotch Drinkers in the House?

    Peat taste from water? Interesting. I see now on the Ledaig box it says "peat-dried malted barley is married with aromatic water". On the bottle it says "wonderfully peated".

    Where do you keep your tobacco?

    Pint jars by Ball, if the tin has been opened. I wonder, though, about long term storage of the cheese dip style containers, but trust the shoe polish style tins. In fact, I'm considering whether I can't find blends in tins relatively equal in flavor to those in containers. I'm also considering...

    Any Magazine Readers? - The Type Printed On Paper That Is

    There are many I would enjoy, but the only magazine I currently get is American Rifleman, the default NRA publication.

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (September 2015)

    About to light up a bowl of Pirate Kake in my Rossi Bent Billiard. Starting season two of The Unit (loaned to me). Tonight's drink is Ledaig single malt Scotch.

    Scotch Drinkers in the House?

    On the advice of the seller (I said I wanted a peated single malt), tonight I bought a bottle of Ledaig, an un-chilled filtered, single malt from the Isle of Mull. Cost was $48, on sale from $60. He was very enthusiastic about this Scotch. It seemed a personal favorite. Here's Ralfy's review -...

    Fragrance Lamps?

    I'd like to get an air purifier but so far I just use Febreze Heavy Duty spray. I smoke indoors in an apartment.

    C&D Bulk - What Are You Getting?

    I looked up Pegasus since it was in a few of your lists. I see it's labeled a Burley. I've had their Big 'n' Burley. How does this compare? I might try it.

    New Pipe Smoker maybe.

    You will be astounded at how much you like the better tobacco.

    Peterson Pipe Filings

    I've got two Petersons, a Donegal Rocky and Kenmare, the first pipes I bought. At the time, I didn't know about fills. The Kenmare is a Billiard, and has two standout fills. The other pipe is rusticated, so it has no fills. I now consider pipes around $100 or less as low end pipes, so the fills...

    Forgive Me for Not Understanding

    Hey, it's an excuse to get a new tamper.

    C&D Bulk - What Are You Getting?

    I plan to take advantage of the September sale at smokingpipes on C&D bulk tobacco, but haven't decided yet on the blends except for Byzantium and maybe Epiphany and Latakia. What about you?

    Ribbon v Flake and Plug in Nic Hit

    I can't contribute, but I enjoy reading discussions like this. Incidentally, I don't notice nicotine. Can't tell if it's strong or weak.

    Savinelli Capri Root Briar

    I like everything about that pipe. Wait. Is it filtered?

    Social connotations of cigarettes, cigars, and pipes

    Once you've got the pipes, it costs less to smoke pipes than cigars. Storing pipe tobacco is less involved than storing cigars. You can set aside a pipe half smoked and return later, relight and it's still good. You try that with a cigar to your regret. An ashtray of cigar butts reeks. No so...
