    OTC Tryouts-Borkum Riff Whiskey

    Its been quite a while since my first OTC tryout with Half and Half. With a lazy, sleepy Sunday working its magic on me, I decided to go out and pick up a couple more OTCs to dive into. My local Ingles grocery store carries almost all typical blends you'd expect to find. Today, I couldn't resist...

    Walt Disney World

    Early Monday morning i'll be driving down to Disney World with my fiancee for four days. I plan on bringing a couple pipes to enjoy and keep my sanity in check. So, i'm just wondering if any of you guys have any experience with Disney World as far as smoking goes. Are smoking areas frequent...

    House of Calabash-First Pipe of the Day

    You think the blend name is long? They've apparently changed it recently. Now, its called Nothing Quite Like That First Pipe of the Day. A mouthful eh? I placed a small TAD order earlier in the week with House of Calabash and received my blends yesterday. This "First Pipe..." blend contains...

    House of Calabash-Wild Rose

    Last night I attended the West Georgia Pipe Club, and we were able to sample several of Steven Books' blends. He was generous enough to send several samples of his Wild Rose, Young Master, Grandfather's Own and For Meerschaums only blends. Im going to talk about Wild Rose here. Wild Rose was the...

    G. L. Pease Cumberland

    Mr. Pease's blends receive a lot of attention in the pipe community. Rightfully so, according to word-of-mouth and enough positive written reviews to choke an elephant. However, a blend I haven't noticed much mention of is Cumberland. This is the second blend I've had the pleasure to light up...

    OTC Tryouts-Half n Half

    I'm slowly making my way around to the various common "drug store" or "over the counter" blends. So far i've gotten around the Captain Black White pouch and Carter Hall. I'm not too fond of CBW, but Carter Hall has been an excellent early morning go-to. After work today I went grocery shopping...

    Tobacco Hoarding

    I read a comment from someone on another pipe forum recently that made me think. This gentleman stated: "I finally have enough tobacco in the cellar to last me for the rest of my life". I'm not sure how he came to this conclusion, but I guess I beleive him. So i'm a bit curious. How many of you...

    C&D Blockade Runner

    I just received Blockade Runner in the mail with my recent tobacco order (along with some Old Gowrie, excellent!). This is the first tobacco in my limited experience which I really had to slow down and think about it. Every puff was just rich dark earthiness. I don't know how else to describe...

    Troubles with Sunset Breeze

    I recently purchased a tin of Sunset Breeze by Peterson. I've had their Old Dublin and wanted to try an aromatic from them. My first bowl I packed straight from the tin, and as usual slightly on the loose side. I had serious troubles keeping it lit, it produced almost no flavor, and for an...
