    Review of GH Coniston Cut Plug – A Tale of Betrayal

    Just a theory, but Coniston, Brown Flake, and Dark Flake all utilize Malawi leaf. Perhaps something has changed…either they are getting it from a different source or the crop variance is just way different than it used to be. I have smoked Dark Flake unscented and scented for years and there...

    ***What Are You Smoking, January 2025?***

    Smoking some C&D Maestro Pucinni in a Savinelli Estella 511KS. Watching the Texans vs the refs…I mean Chiefs lol! Bracing for another round of snow tomorrow and will likely spend my “day off” on Monday at work shoveling!

    ***What Are You Smoking, January 2025?***

    Smoking smoke GH Kendal Kentucky in a Savinelli Estella 320KS. This pipe is pretty massive for a KS pipe, but then again the 320EX is ginormous! One of these days I should take a pic of these side by side!

    Gawith Hoggarth New Blends

    I’m quite intrigued by Rodeo. I am well versed from the dark Indian leaf from having smoked Dark Flake for years, but am not familiar with Indian bright, Brazilian bright, or Indonesian dark. Perhaps someone on here could expound upon the subject. @JimInks shouldn’t Laudisi be sending the...

    ***What Are You Smoking, January 2025?***

    Out on the deck with the space heater pumping, watching a full moon and smoking some C&D Maestro Puccini in a Savinelli Estella 316EX. One of the best Kentucky blends I’ve ever had, and for a longtime Toscano, it really does capture the essence of a Toscano Antico. Very glad I picked up 10...

    Jim's C&D Toscano Maestro Puccini Review.

    Ordered 4 tins from SP on Friday. Was scheduled to be delivered by Friday, Dec 27th but arrived today as an early Xmas miracle! Am expecting to smoke some this evening, but after popping a tin and pulling some out to air dry, I can honestly say that this is one of the most intoxicating aromas...

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2024?***

    Starting my 4 day weekend on the deck with some beautiful weather and a bowl of Gawith Hoggarth Dark Flake scented in a Briar Works prince. Looking forward to a weekend full of swimming, tubing, beer drinking, pipe and cigar smoking, and general summertime merriment! -Scott

    Your Summer Song

    It varies each summer, depending on what strikes my wife and I! We saw Dave Matthews Band a few weeks ago and they blew the roof off the place with a cover of David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance”, complete with the horn parts and Dave’s lead guitarist Tim Reynolds doing the Stevie Ray Vaughan lead...

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    Beautiful sunny and warm evening in Maryland. On the deck smoking some Gawith Hoggarth Dark Flake unscented in a Savinelli Estella 316EX. Some Sagamore rye on the side and good music on the Bluetooth speaker. Wishing everyone out there well!

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    A cool, dreary evening on the deck smoking Gawith Hoggarth Dark Flake unscented in a Savinelli Estella 316EX. A little Sagamore Rye in the glass and Van Morrison on the Bluetooth speaker for added accompaniment

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    Gawith Hoggarth Dark Flake unscented in a Charatan’s Make Authentic. Sipping on a fine lager from Jack’s Abby and watching the rain out on the screened in deck. We were so spoiled with beautiful weather this week and now that the weekend is here, there’s nonstop rain in the forecast lol!

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    Still a warm 80 degrees out this evening here in Maryland! Hanging on the deck with the ceiling fan on low enjoying some Gawith Hoggarth Dark Flake unscented in a Castillo shape 55. A little bit of High West rye to pair and some Tom Petty on the Bluetooth speaker. As usual, all 3 cats are...

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    Two Petersons currently in the collection. The first one pictured is a Dracula. The second is a Mark Twain previously owned by the late, great Buddy Winemuller of the Chesapeake Pipe Club. Buddy was like a second grandfather to me. One of the nicest guys I’ve ever met and all you had to do...

    Show Us Your American Made Pipes

    I have (2) American made pipes currently and they are among my best smokers! The first one pictured is a Bertram 125 made by the long extinct Washington DC shop. They graded their pipes numerically and to this day, I have never seen one graded higher than this 125. It has the most open draw...

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    Enjoying a beautiful evening on the deck with some GH Black Irish XXX in a Savinelli Estella (316EX). Don’t smoke this one too often, but was in the mood to sip some Bulleit bourbon and this is just about the best thing to pair with this tobacco, aside from a cigar!

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    Enjoying a lovely morning on the deck with a 50/50 blend of GH Dark Plug/Old Dark Fired in a Bertram (125). Have allowed the little ones some deck time this morning. Pictured below is Wolfie, who so far, is behaving himself and hasn’t yet attempted to climb the screen lol! A cup of Jamaican...
