    Christmas Cheer 2011 (re-visited)

    I believe I read that CC 2012 came out this week or last week. That jogged my memory that I still have about half a tin of CC 2011 in my cellar. I packed some into my Peterson Rocky Donegal and fired it up this evening...man...it got really good from the last time I smoked it. I broke the...

    Drying...it works.

    I have been smoking a pipe for over 10 years now and just re-learned a good lesson I plan on practicing more often. Drying. I usually let tobacco sit out for a few minutes and then let it sit once packed for a few more, but I left two coins of PS LBF sit out (not on purpose) for over 24 ours and...

    My whole downstairs...

    ...smells like glorious Bullseye Luxury Flake. My wife is pissed. Maybe the roomnote isn't so great? ;)

    Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic/ review

    Nothing quite like being happily surprised by a tobacco. This blend did just that for me. I had fairly low expectations for this blend and it has turned into one of the blends that I now smoke on a regular basis. I wanted to pass the word around to other folks who might not give this a try...

    Good "Camping" smokes??

    Just recently spent the weekend hiking the Appalachian Trail in my home state Pennsylvania...two nights out in the woods and it was just great. I packed along my Missouri Meershaum Diplomat and a zip-lock bag of a few Orlik Golden Sliced flakes (I am a lightweight backbacker and these were my...

    New Jack White Album Blunderbuss

    Just got it recently and wanted to share that it is really exceptional. While I guess it would fall in the "rock" genre, I would think that anyone who appreciates music in general would like it. I feel the same way listening to this the first time I heard Traffic's "Low Spark of Higheeled Boys"...

    MacBaren Virginia No. 1

    I recently bought a 3.5OZ tin of this, having never tried it, and I am really impressed. It is not like a "blow your mind" kind of smoke, but I felt it had a lot to offer. I was a bit worried when I read a lot of comments about this blend biting, but have not found this to be the case. That is...

    estate pipe/ weird taste question

    Recently got a great Castello Sea Rock estate pipe off of eBay. The pipe is great and the seller did a great job cleaning/ restoring the pipe. I noticed that the inside walls of the pipe were smooth as marble. Now as I smoke it (and it smokes great) there is a really funny aftertaste that I...

    Blending with OTCs

    Anybody have any good mixtures they have created using OTCs (read: Carter Hall, Prince Albert and Half and Half)? I have 14oz tubs of the three aforementioned tobaccos and wanted to see what other folks have done. Cheers. t

    You know what...? Life is pretty good

    I used to drink like a fish and chain smoke awful commercial cigarettes. Left all that behind. Sitting here sipping a nice green tea, puffing some Dunhill Flake in a Peterson Donegal and enjoying life low and slow. Take it all in boys...every day is a good day.

    What tobacco is Old Gowrie similar to?

    I regularly smoke virginia's but have not yet tried OG. Is there anything similiar on the market that it is like? Just curious. Thanks. THBG

    When life gives you lemons...make a great new mixture!

    I improperly stored a tin of Orlik Golden Sliced and it dried out to the point where it just shattered when I picked up a flake. My bad. I broke up all of the flakes (no choice really) and put them in a mason jar. My plan was to try and bring this back to life. I recently bought a small amount...

    FVF?

    Is SG's Full Virginia Flake is good as everyone seems to think it is? Is it equal to Dunhill Flake? I would try it myself, but just can't seem to find anybody who has it in stock. I guess I have kind of given up and was just asking the groups thoughts. Anything comparable...or better that is...

    advanced cleaning question

    I used to smoke basically all latakia blends. After a break from pipes, I have found my tastes have changed and I no longer enjoy the taste of latakia as I once did. I have cleaned all my pipes yet that latakia taste still remains in a few of my favorites that I really smoked a lot out...
