I just ordered 2 tins of the new Bengal Slices White. Bengal Slices original, but slightly lighter and no topping. I really like the licorice so I have no idea what to expect.
Here’s the description...
Bengal Slices White is the newest entry in the Bengal Slices line. This is a flavorful and...
My Smoker’s Haven EM arrived. Thankfully I was able to get in on the pre-sale a few months ago. I would say that it is perfect timing because Balkans have earned their way into nearly 50% of my rotation these days. I really enjoy Balkan Sobranie so I’m hoping that means I’ll enjoy this. I have...
It’s not supposed to work out like this. There is zero chance that I would have 8 1/2 years of clean time if it weren’t for my sponsor. 4 months ago I had a guy that was fresh in his recovery reach out to me to be his sponsor. I had only been accountability partners and mentors so I told him I...
Can you correctly guess all 4 of these flakes? I took all the pictures with an iPhone, same lighting, and no editing (other than cropping). I was thinking this would be fun to do just for education and bragging rights, but if I'm allowed to I'll mail an average pipe-full sample of each tobacco...
I am in the process of breaking in 4 new pipes. I have been trying to stick with burley forward and English blends just because those burn cooler than my go to VA flakes and VaPers. I am sticking with the cooler blends mostly because that’s what the YouTubers preach. I do enjoy putting a burley...
[crickets] I have yet to see anything different than Black Friday. I am waiting in anticipation for one of our pipe brothers to announce that someone made a German drop and they are selling them for 30% off!
Hey guys and gals. These last three days I have been smoking the new Small Batch CRF on my commute home. I have found that the spice and bread notes are absolute heaven when I blow it out my nose. I may be blowing the smoke through my nose a little more than normal, but not much more.
Here’s my...
Well, I just finished my open enrollment for this year’s benefits and I now have to pay $540 per year because I smoke a single bowl 5 times per week. They already announced that next year will be $660 per year. This year’s surcharge comes out to just over $10 per week. I can get at least 16...
I was just prepping some 18 year old McClelland 2035 DNF by cubing it and I think I hit a red squirrel!!! Dude!? Because there is nothing that will keep me from smoking this amazing tobacco, I just told myself it was a stem and lit up.
I have yet to find a list of post-2007 tobacco. I’m wondering is Russ’ Hearth & Home Signature Series Collection makes the list. But actually, I’d love to see a good list in case some of my favs are on there.
So I received 8oz. of Sutliff: 515 RC-1 from SP last week. I plan to do some blending and pressing with it. When I pulled the bag out of the box it smelled sweet and delicious. It sat like this for a couple of days. So about 3 days ago I decided to crack open the bag and pull some out to give it...
I sure miss it. I first tried it 35 years ago, and normally had some with me the last few years before they went out of business. I haven’t had any for almost 4 years. I keep thinking that I’m going to cave and pay the gougers on eBay, but I haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
Any other Sen Sen...
After my wife made the comment, “What if you die tomorrow?”, I am turning over a new leaf (ba dump dump) and have made the decision to crack open and enjoy some of my aging McClelland Blends. I was out of the tobacco loop this past year and totally missed the chance to stock up on my favorite...
I need some advice. I’m looking for a great Virgina Bulk for Blending. I thought it would be helpful to hear your top 3 that work great for you.
I have always blended with “finished” tins of tobacco. However, I am at the point where I want to make another blend, but I don’t want to crack open...
What are your thoughts?
Not only is this functional, but I’ll be recognizable by you select 0.01%ers as a commuter-piper when you pass by. Would it be a little classier if I Sharpie’d it black?...I say absolutely not! My pipes and mirror housing are thanking me. I may need to add a warning to...
