    Javan's Cigar Adventure (Pic Heavy)

    Learning how to roll a cigar was in my wishlist for a while. Few weeks ago I decided to get some leaves from the States and start learning. Here are the leaves I used: Wrapper - Brazilian Mata Fina Binder - Dominican Binder Fillers - Aged Dominican Ligero Piloto Cubano and Aged Dominican Seco...

    6 Years of Pure Joy

    It was 6 years ago, this time of the year, few weeks before my 29th birthday. We were expecting a baby boy with my wife and I decided to give myself a good gift. I was a cigar smoker back then who enjoyed cigars occasionally. I ordered 4 MM corn cob pipes and a tin of Erinmore. The rest is...

    Proof That Warm Water Doesn't Cause Oxidation on Vulcanite Stems

    As you may know, we have a hot debate about water flushing method suggested by @jpmcwjr. Some suggested that running hot/warm water through vulcanite stems will cause oxidation. Even I faced the same problem after water flushing my pipes and their vulcanite stems. Later, @jpmcwjr suggested that...

    Cake, Water Cleaning and a Mistake

    I clean the pipes that I smoked just before hitting the bed everyday. I remove the stem, run a pipe cleaner through it, then fold the cleaner in half and wipe down the bowl with it. Once in a while, when I decide it is the time, I deep clean my pipes using 95% ethanol (grain alcohol). I dip the...

    Pipe/Cigar Smoker Face Masks

    Stumbled upon these on Etsy. Although they are not medical grade, they are still products of a creative mind.

    Scotty's VR Blend

    I am trying this one for the first time tonight and it is totally one of the under the radar blends. Virginias are mature, sweet, grassy and not biting, the amount of the Perique is spot on just complementing the overall flavor by adding some ripeness and dark fruity taste, Black Cavendish...

    Dunhill Blends by Peterson

    I haven't tried the Peterson branded ones yet. I just wonder whether they are 100% same blends as STG claims. Does anyone have any first-hand experience?

    Mixing Five Brothers with Virginia Blends

    First of all, I am a huge fan of Five Brothers. I can easily go through a pack in a few days. The deep, nutty, one-dimensional and consistent flavor is what I need sometimes. I also found out that it blends really well with Virginias. Not only it tames them, but also adds some background to the...

    Maybe fine white ash is a myth in pipe smoking, but it is a reality now in cigar smoking.
