    Seattle Pipe Club Vegas show announcement.

    It would be interesting if not predictable that STGs Mac Baren blends were terrible and C&Ds SPC blends were as good or better than the originals. I read Jim's reviews of the new Mac Barens and I have no interest in smoking any of it.

    What Are You Drinking? October 2025

    Smog City Smogtoberfest. Very good. Somewhat hoppy but delicious. Similar to the Hofbrau Oktoberfest but with a little bit of an edge.

    Enjoying the slightly cooler temperature with some Nightcap in this quite large Castello Bent Bulldog.

    Would You Rather - Pipe/Tobacco Edition

    I would choose one pipe: Dunhill 4103 Straight Billiard, preferable sandblast. If I had to choose one tobacco it would be My Mixture 965. 80% of all pipes of tobacco I smoke is My Mixture 965 in a Dunhill Group 4 billiard.

    What’s Your Fave Dunhill Blend?

    Standard Mixture and My Mixture 965 are my favorite all time tobaccos. I boycotted STG for a bit, but alas ...they pulled me back in. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

    What tobacco next?

    If you like early morning, I'd personally recommend going down the Peterson line and seeing how much Latakia you enjoy. Standard Mixture, My Mixture 965, and Nightcap. Also, any English by GL Pease is going to be a winner IMHO.

    Half and Half Tobacco

    Excellent review, I appreciate the time you took and it was a great read. I don't know why this stuff tastes like cranberries to me but I usually smoke it along side Peretti Thanksgiving Day in November

    Switching from cigarettes

    What helped me is finding blends my wife was okay with me smoking in my office and in the house. RLP-6, HGL, Boswell aros, Peretti's Original and English 110 seem to be agreeable to both of us so that's been what I've smoked the last several months. At night I'll sit on the patio and have...

    Jim's STG Versions of Mac Baren Blends Reviews.

    That's a damn shame. Not unexpected that STG would screw everything up but still disappointing. RIP Navy Flake. One of my old favs. I have no interest in buying a tin and seeing for myself if it's that different.

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

    Honestly it smokes as good as any straight billiard I've had. Takes a cleaner just fine and clenches comfortably. Decent $5 purchase if I do say so myself.

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

    RLP-6 in a no name basket pipe I found at a thrift store.

    Seattle Pipe Club Vegas show announcement.

    I doubt they'll bring back my favorite SPC blend (Wild Man) but I look forward to being able to buy Plum Pudding again.

    Im looking for a replacement blend

    Personally, I don't think you can go wrong with Epiphany. It's one of my favorite all-day everyday smokes.

    Jim's C&D Sun Bear Navy Cask 2025 (Small Batch) Review.

    I've been smoking this with the Bijou over the last week and I think I might do a full compare/contrast review. The Navy Cask is by far my favorite Sun Bear release. For me, the rum is noticable with very similar flavors to Mississippi River Rum Barrel Aged and Blockade Runner. The Bijou however...

    Smoking one Pipe Until it’s Plum Worn out.

    I've had a Ropp bulldog for the past 2-3 years that I've smoked several bowls a day for months at a time. It smokes Virginia/Perique better than the day I got it. I do clean it at the end of the day so that might be the deciding factor.

    Im looking for a replacement blend

    I would highly recommend Cornell and Diehl Epiphany or Morley's Best. The Epiphany is a little sweeter and has a slight spice from the Perique. The Morley's Best is a bit stronger and more natural tasting, but is very very good.
