    Comparing Virginia Flakes

    C&D’s Derringer is a broken flake. Aging for a few years is required for best flavor. Available in bulk. A VERY overlooked Virginia that contains dark to bright leaf. Get some!

    Returning Trumpet Player After 55 Years

    A month or so ago I decided to return to one of my first loves: the Bb trumpet. I started in 3rd grade and played into college. I never had any real lessons, just the band director making sure we could play the repertoire. Having grown up a few miles east of Manhattan I was able to hear some of...

    G.A.D.

    Apparently you don’t know what confirmation bias is or means.

    Confirmation Bias is a bitch, ain’t it.

    What Are You Listening To - March, 2025

    I spent my youth hanging around Max Gordon’s Village Vanguard and many other jazz venues and for my mind the most exciting big bands were Buddy Rich, Don Ellis, and Thad Jones/Mel Lewis. I cut lawns to get my cover charge and complimentary soft drink. The cocktail waitresses wisely ignored me...

    Show Us Your Falcons!

    Be aware that the meerschaum insert in the bowl creates a very small chamber. Falcon seems to use their standard chambered bowls and add the meer so the chambers are quite small. My blasted apple bowl with insert is huge with a tiny chamber!

    ***What Are You Smoking, February 2025?***

    Beautiful! E A Carey pipes are very underrated. NOT a filter pipe. Smoke comes through directly and the little vents in the stem add a cooling and drying affect that leaves the moisture captured in the papyrate sleeve. Enjoy!

    ***What Are You Smoking, February 2025?***

    Breaking in a new pipe with C&D Three Friars/Derringer (50/50). This Peterson Tyrone 84 is small and light and has my preferred acrylic stem. The button is smaller and more comfortable than some of the newer acrylics that come on the Standard System pipes. Modest sized chamber and lovely dark...

    Glocks are as Generic as a 1911

    Love my Rugers and Smiths. I also love my Charter Arms Bulldog 44 and Pathfinder 22lr. I just picked up an Undercover to see if the CNC machining has improved specs. So far I am impressed!

    What Are You Listening To - February, 2025

    Listening to much Handel on his 340th birthday. Had he been American, he might still be collecting Social Security checks!

    Mineral Oil For Faded Finish

    I use Howard Wax-It-All on briar and stem after every smoke. This stuff is beeswax,carnauba wax, and food grade mineral oil. Works great and keeps things simple. Try some!

    How do You Brew Tea?

    Punjana loose and Punjana tea bags. Small Sadler pot with stainless basket strainer similar to Brown Betty. 5 minute brew. Splash of milk. Reverse osmosis water with addition of Keto Chow Electrolyte Drops. I drink this all day every day ‘cause I’m an Ulsterman by heritage.

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***

    Since you seem to like small chambered pipes, you might need a Peterson 406.

    Another Reason I Appreciate Laudisi/SmokingPipes.com

    I just bought three pounds of PS Luxury Navy Flake from a vendor in West Virginia. It arrived today and included some of their Holiday Blend and a lovely pipe tamper/knife as gifts. The Xmas spirit personified!

    Cleaning Cobs

    I finger twist the appropriate size drill bit to clear any gunk in the shank and follow up with Everclear and a bristle pipe cleaner. BTW, the drill bit clears the left over wood fibers that are left by sloppy drilling at the factory. MM should sharpen their drill bits occasionally. Pipe cleaner...

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***

    Smoked a bowl of Coniston Cut Plug in an MM Legend. Not worth a photo,but delicious! It has just the right amount of sauce too. No…I really mean it….really…and I don’t think Bob was involved. Really.
