    GL Pease Embarcadero - A Blend I Enjoy

    It really does well in a meer, doesn't it? But then again, what blend doesn't do well in a meer?

    GL Pease Embarcadero - A Blend I Enjoy

    I haven't gotten around to trying it yet actually, but I do have a couple of tins waiting with some age. Still smoking Embarcadero and Briar Fox almost daily. Embarcadero with 4-5 years of age on it is really hitting the spot for me these days.

    A Ruger $200 Back Pocket Glock

    I hope people don't think pocket carry means just throw it in your pocket. Get a Kydex holster first, then throw it in there.

    A Ruger $200 Back Pocket Glock

    Personally, I hate the LCP. Just never felt right in my hand. I shot a S&W Bodyguard 2.0 over the weekend and that thing is awesome. It's smaller than the LCP but feels like a normal gun in the hand. I shot it very accurately up to about 15 yards. I'm probably going to pick one up for those days...

    C&D Briar Fox Review

    Briar Fox is an amazing blend, especially when you just want something premium and simple to puff on. I have pounds of the stuff, really great.

    Whopper Still Sucks.

    If I'm forced to have a fast food burger, I usually go to Wendy's. They have decent stuff. I agree the whopper is trash, very unsatisfactory burger.

    Falcon Pipe Bowl Rack

    I use an old leather dopp kit for storage. I'm not big on displaying so can't help there.

    Underrated Blends

    Royal Yuck was my first experience, but now its a treat whenever I set sail.

    Underrated Blends

    My own underrated blend for myself has to be C&D Bayou Morning. I know it's not underrated, but I always stayed away from it because of the massive amounts of perique. When I finally tried it, I was kicking myself for waiting so long. It has become my favorite VaPer.

    I'm so very sorry for your loss, I also took a break from the site for a while while I was losing my mother to stage 4 stomach cancer recently.

    What a shock. I can't even imagine what he is going through. I would be completely lost.

    Mellowest Unflavored Burley Blends?

    It's crazy how people are affected differently by tobacco. Pretty much every blend you listed as giving you a sore throat are smooth to me, especially Pegasus and Old Joe Krantz Blue. Not many other burleys to recommend to be honest. Perhaps go the whole leaf route or try Ken Byron Ventures. I...

    Do You Know About "Magic" Pipes and Do you Have One?

    My trusty IMP bent bulldog has been with me through thick and thin, and will smoke anything I put into it like a champ. It's strangely resistant to coloring, but I take that as a challenge rather than a knock against it.

    Are Falcons Worth It In 2024?

    Love them, they were my exclusive driving around pipes for years. They're not miracle pipes, but they are tough little work horses.

    Out of Pipe Cleaners

    I'm sorry, but that sounds absolutely vile. 🤢

    Let's Discuss this Forum

    I like seeing the difference of opinions and gentle back and forth ribbing. Some people aren't the best with the written word (me included) and it can be difficult to get across what you actually feel/mean. I think as long as people remember not to take things too personally, and to not...
