    TAD Acquisitions 2025

    Veermaster 🤤 I once had 20 tins of it in 2020 - thought it was last me forever. I was wrong - and it’s all gone. Now stateside prices are atrocious vs when had it shipped from overseas.

    G.L. Pease: Silver Jubilee

    Update: It’s going to be a 10,000 tin release per a post Greg Pease made on instagram. Limited, but not so limited that it will be gone immediately or same day.

    SP C&D 20% sale started

    Ordered Chenets Cake, Blockade Runner, After Hours, Bayou Morning, and Black Frigate. I believe I had Bayou Morning years ago but don’t have it journaled anywhere on notes - the rest are new to me.

    G.L. Pease: Silver Jubilee

    Same here I’ve already got my chair parked by the door to hold my spot in line. 😂 All jokes aside, we really do have it good. If a limited release sounds like something I’d enjoy, I’ll grab a tin or two. If it doesn’t, I just skip it. No harm, no foul. Coming from the bourbon craze, it’s a...

    G.L. Pease: Silver Jubilee

    Bingo. But since their Facebook page of their distribution group is a public forum, we get to know as well. As far as an “allocated product” - that’s what drew my attention as I’ve never seen that term used in the pipe tobacco world but in the bourbon world. Essentially, the brick and mortar...

    G.L. Pease: Silver Jubilee

    Within the last week, C&D posted a bunch of photos of the factory and blends being produced. In one of the photos, of a tobacco press, there was a sign that named a blend “Silver Jubilee” Many were curious what blend that could be. Well, on Laudisi FB page they just dropped the news. Appears...

    What Were Your Go-To Tobacco’s in 2025?

    I smoked the following 4 blends a lot. I went through several tins of the Rattrays, a pint jar of LBF and two pint jars of the Virginia slices. Black Virginia Dark Fragrant Virginia Slices LBF I opened several new tins to me to sample and jar. This wasn’t a huge pipe smoking year for me - a...

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

    Smoking WCC Simply Gold in a cob after running to get groceries. Seems these colder months my pipe smoking is confined to my car - too cold for the porch and didn’t want to rush it.

    Pipe Shape Subtleties........

    All those shapes in the posted link look the same to me. I’m terrible with pipe shapes - I definitely need tobacco pipe knowledge 101. I’ve ran across posters online with various pipe shapes - but I think part of my problem is I’m also a physical learner, I need to have contact with the pipe...

    TAD Acquisitions 2025

    I was down in Louisville this morning - made the stop of Kremer’s Smoke Shoppe and picked up two tins. I could spend hours in there.

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    One of those Instagram/Facebook blenders. I follow them on IG, and a few others on FB. My only hold up on trying them out myself is - I don’t want to initiate a private message to begin a purchase transaction. Just point me to a shopping cart so I can add it to my cart, buy it and be done...

    My New Altinay Meer

    @hoosierpipeguy this might be a stupid question - but is there a import fee or anything due at time package is delivered since it’s coming from Turkey? I’ve been looking a little more at their pipes since your last posting.

    Cooking Bacon

    Don’t forget about beef bacon! Way better than that turkey nonsense. Idk every time I’ve tried turkey bacon - it just stinks in the packaging

    Cooking Bacon

    I bake my bacon with the same method as well sometimes. Though I love frying on cast iron. Also, as many ways are there to cook bacon, there are also many cuts of bacon. Try the steak cut bacon. Super thick - and if do it right it’s chewy and crispy

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    Wessex Gold Brick Virginia Plug Haven’t had this in a few years. Opening it up and shaving enough for a couple bowls off and putting the rest in a heat sealed mylar bag. Ran out of jars and the next thing I’ll be doing for the next few days is transferring over some of my half jars to mylar...

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

    Loaded up Chocolate Flake Burnt Ends after around an hour of dry time with the sun shining on it. Going to be my smoke while go for a drive

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    Opening a box of SG Chocolate Flake Burnt Ends. This is my first venture into the Burnt Ends style. I recall being interested in giving it a try when they first started making them available - 2 years ago or so it seems. I could have sworn when I made this order I was getting regular...

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

    First bowl of Carolina Christmas ready to go in a Captain Black Helmsman that I’ve put through the wringer over the years. Need to buff the stem up and take care of the charring on the rim.
