    New Jesse Jones Handmade

    I just received my latest commission from Jesse. A sandblasted bent Acorn. In my opinion another masterpiece by an incredible carver. The 3rd photo is the Fab 5 all together. #Blueroombriars

    Loose Lids Sink Blends

    Just a reminder to check your stash, boys and girls. I needed to refill one of my tobacco pouches I keep in the truck, so I pulled a half pint jar of Brown Flake A for that purpose. Something told me I’d better check all the lids on all the jars in my cellar while I was there as sometimes they...

    Let’s Get Dirty…Again

    Once a year I send my pipes to be professionally cleaned. The first eight are done and ready to get dirty again. The rest will go out this Friday, then all will be ready for another great year of smoking! Do any of you follow a similar routine for keeping your pipes in good condition?

    Vollmer & Nilsson Finger On The Trigger

    I am considering a Vollmer & Nilsson pipe. I have my finger on the trigger. I have read the past posts mentioning them, but wanted to know if anyone here would be willing to share their additional thoughts before I take the shot. Opinions?

    Member Meetup

    Had an eventful day. I met fellow forum member @JDBuckeye for lunch (Thank you). After lunch we went to Blue Room Briars where JD got to meet Jesse and Zach (Scott wasn’t there). I dropped off 7 pipes to be cleaned, traded in two for store credit, bought a Blue Room Briars pipe, a french...

    Season, Ilness, or Palate?

    For years now I have only been smoking 3 or 4 blends on any sort of a regular basis. The one constant, every single day blend for me has been PS Luxury Twist Flake. Seriously, I am nearing codger status here. It has been my absolute favorite blend for years! That has changed in the last month or...

    I’m Shocked! Crazy Find!

    I went into a local head shop in Mount Vernon, Ohio today to pick up a couple vapes for my wife. I’m in there every two weeks or so and never saw these there! He said they actually move pretty well. I need to find out who is buying them! Ten Russians was a favorite when I still smoked Latakia. I...

    Cleaning Out The Cellar 1/14/25

    I am doing a cellar clean up. I have several tins and jars of stuff that I either don’t like at all, or I haven’t tried. These have all been in my cellar for years and its time to do something about them. The ones I know I don’t like, and never will, just went in the trash. Most of these were...

    Lakeland Help

    I know how polarizing Lakeland blends are, but I could use some suggestions from those of you who like them. I want to deeply cellar a great Lakeland blend. I fell in love with GH Broken Flake #7 a few years ago. I recently pulled out a tin of Ennerdale I had lying around and found the flavor...

    Asking for a Friend

    So, a new lieutenant at work told me he bought a pipe this past Summer, but he doesn't smoke it a lot because he said the tobacco irritates his mouth and throat. He bought the pipe at some tourist spot and grabbed some cherry tobacco to go with it. Typical, huh? He doesn't inhale, so I told him...

    Rare Sighting Checked All The Boxes

    As some of you know, my wife and I ride Harleys. I belong to a law enforcement MC and my wife is in a female riding club. Last night we went to a function put on by her group. She introduced me to everybody, and I got to talking to one of the husbands. We really hit it off. The guy rides...

    Playing With Deer Tongue

    I was finally able to acquire a few ounces of Deer Tongue leaf. I love Crooner, but want more Deer Tongue in it, so I'm going to add my own to the blend. I'm also going to try my hand at creating my own blend using leaf with a lighter flavor profile, probably a good quality straight Virginia...

    Any Other Biker/Riders?

    The bug bit me when I was 7 years old. My Dad bought a motorcycle, a green Honda 360. I was hooked! When I was 20 and in the Army in Washington D.C., I couldn't afford two vehicles, so I sold my car and bought my first bike, a 1982 Harley Davidson Shovelhead Tour Glide Classic, the Daddy of the...

    Sourcing Deer Tongue

    Does anyone know where I can find Deer Tongue leaf? Amazon had it for sale, but I sat too long and it's out of stock, and it doesn't look like they will be selling more. I have found Deer Tongue ROOT, but not leaf. None of the blends have quite enough Deer Tongue in them for my taste. The web...

    Going Through The Cellar

    I did my yearly organizing of my cellar today. It gives me a chance to check the lids and take a mental inventory. Here is my current situation.

    Lakeland Question

    Being someone who only really smokes 3 or 4 blends on a regular basis, imagine my surprise this week when a new blend bullrushed it's way into my top 3! I have found a new love in G&H Broken Flake #7! Being a complete novice to Lakeland blends, and with my new found desire to cellar as much of...

    Fast Five. Who Wants To Play?

    Okay, we all know this one. I don't know if this has been done here before (I assume it has), but to take a page out of Brian Levine's book, no right answer, no wrong answer, just the first thing that comes to your mind. With all the new members, I thought this would be fun. I'll go first...
