    War Horse Dilemma

    I'm a fan of War Horse. I tend to smoke more of the Green than the Red. The Red, in my opinion, is stronger and less aromatic than the Green. The Green is a bit reminiscent of the Irish made Condor which is now long gone.

    Barclay Rex in New York, NY

    Unfortunately buying cigars in NY from B&Ms is very expensive due to taxes. New York ain't exactly tobacco friendly. Another comment or two about Barclay Rex. Back in the late sixties/early seventies when I was a newbie pipe and cigar smoker Barclay Rex was located in an old and cool looking...

    Barclay Rex in New York, NY

    In my view, Barclay Rex today is basically a nicely appointed cigar store. It's reflective of the huge decline in pipe smoking in a city which once had many shops that primarily catered to pipe smokers. Barclay Rex was one of them back in the day. In that space, it was considered one of the best.

    Remembering the Choices of Old Sites

    There was also a site called Christian Pipe Smokers or something like that. Yes, there were discussions about theology but a lot of interesting pipe and tobacco repartee as well. There was a one fellow who posted extensively on this site who identified himself as "Rusty". He did not reveal much...

    British "CIVIC" made Drinkless (Kaywoodie)

    Nate - that was a great summary of what is obviously a very complicated history of Kaywoodie. What is particularly interesting to me is that once upon a time the business of pipe manufacturing was truly "big business". The back stories of the corporate maneuvers and the strategies behind them...

    Big Swan Neck Billiard Fixation

    The Martelo "LC' style" shapes are beautifully done with great care and planning. Since I believe he's not using a curved drilling tool to drill the draft hole, he's got to be very skilled, very precise. Todd Bannard has made some great pipes which capture the style as well. I get the...

    What is the Most Muscular Straight Burley Sold Today?

    I heartily agree with cosmicfolklore. Burley Flake #1 will definitely tune you up. Wouldn't recommend it on an empty stomach. Start off with a small to medium sized bowl and see how you react.

    Any Port Drinkers?

    Look for the 40 yr old Van Zellers Tawny. Consider it a splurge. Deep, rich, utterly delicious. In my opinion, it pairs best with a cigar. Had it recently with a huge Davidoff Royal, which was a gift from a friend in honor of his birthday! The combination of the port and the cigar blew me away...

    Two Friends -- Homeward Bound -- Anyone tried it?

    Smoked a slightly aged tin. Didn't taste anything distinctly aromatic. Just a really good almost all day smoke that packs easily. No bite to speak of. Very nice old school style. This one was a pleasant surprise. May order it again.

    Some Unique Cognacs

    Years ago, as he got older, the political writer for the NY Times, RW Apple shifted from politics to food related articles. Apple knew and loved food! He wrote an article which hugely praised a small producer of Cognac called Paul Giraud. I've tried three expressions of these Cognacs: the...

    A Deertongue Story

    This is a question for those who may have smoked Brindley's Mixture ( Faber , Coe and Gregg version) back in the day. BM was my favorite OTC. I am under the impression that BM had some deer tongue which provided a light vanilla like undertone. Some smokers have said it wasn't deer tongue but...

    Traditional English Blends?

    I've previously recommended a few English blends from Ken Byron Ventures in the past but a good story is worth repeating. I really enjoy old school deeply rich tasting English blends. I keep going back to Mountains of Madness, Notorious, Hand of Gotz and recently I tried the English Villain...

    MKELAW's Online Store is Closed…

    As a satisfied customer, I too am sorry to learn that Dave is closing down. What I valued so much about his site is the way he gave the consumer really valuable and honest information about the condition of his pipes particularly with respect to drilling. Always willing to answer any and all...

    The Love Of Pickles

    Batampte pickles at my Stop and Shop are $7.50 bucks a jar. Yes, they've increased in price, but as an occassional indulgence they are, in my view, worth ever penny . They are best when bright green. As they age in the jar they darken, change in flavor and are less crisp.

    Who can Make Dunhill Dot Stem?

    As usual, Jesse is right on the money. If you need work on a pipe that's really important to you George is the man you want to contact.
