    AJ Fernandez

    Absolutely. All of his cigars are good, even his budget Diesel cigars are amazing. However, he did a latakia cigar a number of years ago that I thought was awful. It sounded like a good idea since I love latakia, but it was not good in a cigar.

    English “problems”

    I love Latakia and am generally in the camp of you the more latakia the better. That being said they are all variations on a the same theme and can taste very similar. I've found that I enjoy stronger body latakia blends that have more of a mouthfeel like Billy Budd that has cigar leaf and...

    Rum Tobacco Blends

    If you like Black Frigate you might try Sextant from GL Pease. I also enjoy Navigator when I'm not in the mood for Latakia.

    Question about 4noggins

    With as much grief as they get for being slow, they are the only retailer bold enough to ship to me in Washington. I have to give them a lot of credit.

    Making Your Own Blends from Your Cellar

    I like to mix my heavier latakia blends with Black Frigate. I currently am really liking Black Frigate and Artisans Blend. It has all of the flavor of Black Frigate with a little more oomph to it.

    No Taste

    I've had this issue with my Hackert. In my case I was packing the bowl too tight. Using less tobacco allowed more airflow and solved the problem. However, I have not had this problem with any other pipe.

    Resting A Briar

    The advise I got from the guy at the tobacco shop where I bought my first pipe was I only need a second pipe if I want to smoke while the the other pipe is cooling down. I don't smoke that often and I still did not follow that advise as I have about 15 briars.

    What's the Deal with Bowl Coatings?

    I've had one pipe where it was a problem. It was a artisan pipe and it got all in the shank because the pipemaker used too much of the stuff . I cleaned the pipe with Everclear a few times, but it had a sour taste for a few weeks.

    Dan Tobacco Old Ironsides

    Great Review. I never thought of it that way, but it is like a flake version of Nightcap. Probably why I like it so much.

    PAD and TAD Annual Record

    I have been on a tear this year buying tobacco and pipes. Last year I bought a couple of tins a month that came out to 1 1/2 pounds for the year and I bought 1 pipe. This year, so far, I've bought 8 pounds of tobacco and 2 Radices. I have to say I feel real good about it. I have enough tobacco...

    Tobacco Recommendations To Replace Frog Morton Cellar

    I went through this when Dunhill MM965 went out of stock. I tried some other blends with a similar profile and found I like them better, Tuggle Hall being a go to for me now. I bought five tins of the new 965 and have yet to pop a tin.

    Any Online Retailer's Shipping to WA.

    I live in Washington. Fortunately I have a cellar that will last for years. I think I can supplement my existing stock with the occasional trip to BM’s in the vicinity. If worse comes to worse I’ll get an Oregon P.O. Box.

    Mystery of the Flavorless Pipe

    I had this same problem with a rather expensive (for me) handmade pipe. In my case it was caused by packing too tight. I was cramming too much tobacco in the bowl and not getting enough air through the chamber.

    C&D Tuggle Hall Mini-Review

    Tuggle Hall is a favorite of mine. Just bought 2 pounds of it along with 2 pounds of Billy Budd.

    Morning Smoke

    I like a medium body English in the morning. Lately that is plum pudding, Maltese Falcon or fusiliers ration.

    TAD/PAD Haul From The Past Week.

    Awesome. My next pipe is a paneled billiard.

    Are These as Big a Score as I Feel Like They Are?

    I’m a big fan of London Mixture. I really hope Peterson’s revises that blend. If not, glpease’s Westminster is a good blend in that wheelhouse.

    ATTENTION ALL MALES.....I am in Need of Advice

    I read somewhere that vasectomies go u by 30% during March Madness. Maybe next year you can take a week off from work and watch the games.

    No News Is Good News

    We had a local paper that was hanging on by a thread. Circulation was very poor. The pandemic put them out for good. I think people get the information they want from Facebook.

    Beggin Strips For Men

    I got going on this topic the other day when i accidentally got home with some lactose free milk. Why even make lactose free milk? The whole point of milk is the lactose. I took a swig and it tasted like sugar water.
