    Any pipe smoking Odd Fellows in the house?

    Greetings all. I was curious if there were any members of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows here in the forums? I became interested in the order about 6 years ago after looking into the old IOOF Cemetery here in Beaumont, Texas. Well this past weekend I took my degrees(had to go to Houston...

    Heine's Blend Still In Production?

    I noticed on Pipes and Cigars website that Heine's Blend is listed as "no longer available". Does that mean Sutiff has stopped making it (its still on their website) or the P&C has just stopped stocking it? Does anyone have any info about this?

    MacBaren Mixture Scottish Blend

    While mowing the backyard this evening, I had my third or fourth bowl of Scottish Blend and I have to tell y'all that the more of this I smith me the more I'm liking it. I loaded up my old estate sale Tinderbox Milano straight billiard(or Lovat, I'm not really sure what shape it is but it has a...

    A Nice Bowl Of Velvet

    The Mrs. and I had a garage sale today. (Sold a bunch of stuff and the Salvation Army gets the rest.). So we've been awake since the wee hours of this morning and are now quite exhausted. Now it's evening and all is done for the day. I'm sitting on the patio with our dogs and have just finished...

    C&D Engine 99.....Dried Out And Revisited

    It's a cool evening here in the big and I decided to have a smoke and a brew with the dogs on the patio. I rummaged through my cellar(a repurposed Igloo cooler) and found a ziplock baggy of Engine 99 that I had forgotten about. It must be at least 2 years old and was dry as toast. I remembered...

    Mac Baren Amphora Original Blend

    I was surprised to see that my neighborhood Kroger grocery store had Amphora Original Blend( along with a couple of Super Value blends)in their secured tobacco bunker. The price was right so I picked up a pouch. The reviews on Tobaccoreviews.com seemed quite favorable for an OTC pouch Blend, so...

    F&K Merde de Cheval, Peterson Balkan Delight and Presbyterian

    Merde de Cheval is one of my favorite blends.It was the first blend that I detected a distinct flavor. I get a lot of a mostly tart almost sour flavor from it that I really like( also get the same from other blends like LEO from Lane ltd and even Rattrays Bagpiper's Dream). I have been on the...

    Allow Myself to Introduce.....Myself...and Happy St. Patrick's Day

    I'm Richie Cunningham and this is my wife Oprah.....No, seriously though, I joined this forum in 2016 and then went to Instagram big time. I have since taken a big break from that an decided to return to this forum last year. I have since realized that I never did a formal introduction. So let's...

    Lane Ltd Ready Rubbed and Heine's Blend

    Just finishing my first bowl (in a Cob of course)of Lane Ltd Ready Rubbed and I must say that I like it. Very subtle flavor but the aroma is fantastic. We'll see how the rest of this pouch goes. By the way, has anyone tried Heine's Blend? I'm intrigued by these old school blends and I've seen...

    Velvet

    I'm sitting on my patio, it about 53 degrees Fahrenheit and I've just finished my first bowl of Velvet in a Missouri Meerschaum Legend along with a cold pint of Hamm's beer. A good combo I must say. Not a flavor bomb but just a good enjoyable smoke. No wonder this Blend has been around forever.

    Colossals Custom Made

    Does anyone know anything about Colossals Custom Made pipes other than what little I was able to glean from Pipepedia? I have (and am currently smoking) one that is stamped "Colossals Custom Made on one side of the shank and on the other side is stamped "Algerian Briar"and under that is the word...

    What Am I Tasting?

    I'm still fairly new to pipe smoking(having tried for a while back in my college days in the 80's when we still had a Tinder Box in the local mall. Then let it fall by the wayside only to come back to it a couple of years ago). I have read all the reviews on different blends and their flavors...

    Mac Baren Plumcake First Bowl.

    I'm smoking my first bowl of Mac Baren Plum Cake in a F.E.S.S. Church Warden. This tin was made in late 2015 and I bought it in mid 2016. The seal was still good when I opened and jarred it yesterday. Anyway, I'm getting little to no flavor from it and absolutely no tongue bite. The aroma is...

    Dumped Instagram

    Just in case anyone on this forum follows me on the Instagram, I just want y'all to know that I rather abruptly deactivated my account this morning. It was a hard decision but Instagram was taking up way too much of my time(that could have been better used , oh, say, maybe pipe smoking?). Plus...

    Estate sale find

    My wife found a pipe chest(I'll post pics as soon as I figure out how)at an estate sale that came with 3 pipes. An older Kaywoodie that had the stinger cut off, a Colassals Custom Made(smokes remarkably well by the way) and a small Peterson Shamrock(shape #53, it smokes good but I don't get...

    Kaywoodies!

    Greeting fellow pipe smokers! I'm new to this forum so I'm still trying to figure it out so please bare with me. Recently I acquired some pipes from a coworker. Most were Kaywoodies but there was a Yello-Bole(briar) and a couple of Bueschers(one unsmoked cob and one Hickory). The main one I...
