    Hello from Carmel, CA.

    Hey Pete! I am as far as I can get from you and still be in the same country. But I have a lot of friends in your area, and I'm jealous. Road Atlanta is fantastic, but it's no Laguna Seca. You need to point your car south and spend some time in Rancine & Laramie's in old town San Diego. It's an...

    Must try Tabacco for a person that likes cult Blood Red Moon

    After 20 years, Lane BCA is still one of my favorites. It's vanilla, not cherry. But I think everyone should try it. If you want some vanilla, I am smoking Ken Byron Ventures Noble Aztec. It's quite vanillay.

    Does Your Spouse Know How Much Your Pipes Cost?

    My wife and I each have our own hobby money. I don't ask about her crafting supplies; she never asks about my pipe collection. So, no.

    Does Your Spouse Know How Much Your Pipes Cost?

    No relation. Pipes are small. I’ve kept my pipeweeding habits away from my elementary-school-aged children. My unsmoked pipes are in my bedroom closet. My smoking pipes are in my pipe drawer in my garage. My pipe collection at my dad’s grew from 1 to more than 1. This hobby doesn’t abide space...

    How Many Blends Do You Have in Rotation?

    Same! The jar-emptying struggle is real. I have enjoyed staying with a blend for multiple sessions and picking out nuances. But I haven't moved a "hell naw" into the shopping cart.

    KBV Noble Aztec in my Peterson Mycroft.

    How Many Blends Do You Have in Rotation?

    I have about 4-dozen jars that I choose from when I pick something to smoke. This includes blends I’ve stuck in the back of my cellar for years, blends that turn me green, and blends waiting for a new home. I tried to focus on emptying old jars, but I opened a bunch of new blends to see what to...

    Drying Time

    I dry every blend for 48 minutes and 13 seconds, give or take. It always improves the flavor, except when it doesn't.

    Rivertown bulk tobacco is live on smoking pipes

    I'm smoking some Detroit Tirefire in my Radice. I think it needs more drying time. I already know I'm not going to re-up my San Fran Needle Exchange. It's a dead-ringer for MacB Virginia #1.

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

    Smoking some Ken Byron Ventures Noble Aztec in my Peterson Mycroft after an eventful trip to see my dad. Very glad to be home.

    Perfect Pipe Collection. Less than 20 pipes.

    My target is 2 dozen. I've overshot.

    STG Enough Already, Chicken Little, Or What?

    I bitch about pipe tobacco because bitching about real things makes me too depressed. Don't take that away from me.

    Extreme Cold and Pipes?

    My pipes have all done really well sitting idle in my pipe drawer. I don’t mix well with extreme cold.

    Leonard W Interviewed On YouTube By Big Apple Pipes

    I love Scottish Blend. I haven't re-upped in a while, just because I want to try different stuff. But I bought Scottish Blend for every new pipe smoker I outfitted. That said, Scottish Blend is made from 35 different leaves from around the world. It seems impossible to maintain 35 different...

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    This was my first light of Black House, but White Knight was one of my favorites. I had high hopes, and Russ nailed it again.

    Post from Jeremy McKenna on Mac Baren closure

    I wasn't going back that far. I was commenting on Jeremy's discussion about the FDA regulations. It read to me that he had started the process of filing some applications on some of his products, but the FDA didn't know what they wanted. The FDA tried to target bubblegum-flavored vape juice...

    Post from Jeremy McKenna on Mac Baren closure

    I mean.... Jeremy's post wasn't far off from what we learned from Bradley. And while I'm as happy to bitch about the government as the next guy, I did find it a bit frustrating that Jeremy stated that the private family-owned company sold to a corporation, who made the cold-hearted corporate...
