    What are You Listening To? September '24

    Who else could cover Iggy Pop and actually pull it off?

    What are You Listening To? - August 2024

    I love hearing those stories. I wouldn't put it past him to buy his own bootlegs to be a contrarian against his own band...sounds like a very Morrisey thing to do.

    What are You Listening To? - August 2024

    I don't see this track getting as much love it deserves. Definitely a return to form for Rush in the 90s. Geddy Lee's bass is phenomenal and you can tell the band was listening to the grunge artists in that the time period, while putting their own Rush spin on it.

    Dunhill The White Spot: Ring Grain or Ruby Bark?

    I recently bought a Comoy's from Al on here and its about the same dimensions as a Group 3 Billiard. Its perfect for me. Not to turn this into a Comoy's thread, but the draw is amazing on that pipe.

    Dunhill The White Spot: Ring Grain or Ruby Bark?

    As long as my wife doesn't read this forum; I may get the group 4 Ring Grain and throw in a group 3 standard shell for good measure and scientific research...

    Dunhill The White Spot: Ring Grain or Ruby Bark?

    Things have definitely changed over the years. I go to Tobacco Trader in Marina since the Tinderbox in Santa Monica closed. The only Tinderbox left except for Palm Springs is down in Costa Mesa. I take the trip down there once and awhile, but the new dunhills are usually sold before they hit the...

    Dunhill The White Spot: Ring Grain or Ruby Bark?

    This would be an online purchase. My B&M doesn't sell The White Spot. When I asked the owner about it, they seemed to have mixed feelings about the product. Sorry about that, I added my location now.

    Dunhill The White Spot: Ring Grain or Ruby Bark?

    Interesting, for my own edification; what do you think is better about the old 60s Dunhills? I've heard the drilling can be hit or miss with the new White Spots. I'm leaning towards the Ring Grain, though I like bulldogs, I want to start a collection of Dunhill Billiards.

    Dunhill The White Spot: Ring Grain or Ruby Bark?

    I have my eye on a couple different new Dunhills, a 4103 Ring Grain and a 3104 Ruby Bark and was wondering if you gents could offer any advice you might have. I have older dunhills, this would be my first Albert's White Spot, and I know people have their issues with the new branding but I would...

    Your Own "Worst" Tobacco

    This may be low hanging fruit but Sutliff Black Cherry. Can't stand aromatics, especially of the cherry variety. Also I really hated Sutliff Match Victorian at first (I know several members on this forum love it so I apologize). Victorian was extremely musty, bordering on a fungal/mildew flavor...

    Why Did I Start Smoking a Pipe?

    I always thought it was cool from the time I was a kid. My great grandfather had a pipe in his mouth 24/7, I still remember it even though he passed away when I was pretty little. When I was 19 I became friends with a group of nerds who were into pipe smoking, fancy teas, and talking philosophy...

    Medical News Update

    When I was a teenager flavorings would have turned me off, but I was a punk rocker who favored things brutal and harsh. If it didn't have a filter and was offensive, I would have been more attracted to it. Conversely my 33 year old, 95 lb wife eats nothing but candy. The idea that adults don't...

    Jim's C&D Sun Bear Black Locust 2024 (Small Batch) Review.

    I just got mine today. The tin note smells exactly like fig newtons to me. For flavor I get graham crackers, nuts, a wisp of honey, some kind of citrus/orange zest, a bit of spice, and baked goods. I know everyone calls this a summer blend but it reminds me of Christmastide.

    Quiet Nights Help...

    Quiet Nights took me a few bowls to appreciate. My theory is that it had so much going on, it was system overload for my taste buds which resulted in me tasting very little. That very well might be complete nonsense but as I've smoked it several times, I now get all of the complexity and depth...

    Is it Legal to Smoke a Pipe while Driving?

    After examining the tin and pulling out a quarter of my 965 on the ground, he looked embarrassed and said " I didn't know people still did that" and let me go. I could tell he was hoping to snag me for a DUI. That's big money out here for the city.

    Is it Legal to Smoke a Pipe while Driving?

    His exact words were "just because its legal doesn't mean you can smoke it while you're driving." I went on to explain it was tobacco and showed him the tin since he didn't believe me.
