    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***

    About 2/3 Old Joe Krantz mixed with 1/3 Haddo's Delight. Very nice... In a beaten-down MM Country Gentleman Cob.

    Pipes and Ham radio

    When I was in summer camp we had a ham shack and a counselor with a license, so we got to chat with ham operators and learn a little Morse code. That exposure is probably harder to find today. Haven’t seen anything like at my kids’ camps over the years…

    Pipes and Ham radio

    Just wanted to say I used to have a good shortwave receiver, and would listen to ham operators, utilities, shortwave broadcasters, etc. Occasionally I’ll still dabble with a portable shortwave radio. So I’m another piper/casual radio enthusiast. I enjoy old-time radio shows too! 😁 Oh yeah, I...

    Bulk Tobacco Similar To Five Brothers?

    Yeah, that stuff’s good, I forgot about that - I should revisit it.

    Bulk Tobacco Similar To Five Brothers?

    I think Five Brothers is all Burley, so is there a bulk all-burley with a similar cut? What I’m really chasing is Picayune. I tried Daughters & Ryan Two-Timer…meh. Not sure what was in Picayune. I have a two-oz tin I’m saving for some time.

    Surviving On Five Brothers Pipe Tobacco!

    I have one 2oz tin I’ve been holding onto. I should really be keeping a bottle of Scotch to age with it. There’s something about Five Brothers that REALLY works for me after a meal. I know that’s every tobacco almost, but somehow the dryness of 5B hits just right.

    Surviving On Five Brothers Pipe Tobacco!

    Possibly. I have still been smoking a little Bayou Night in the evening, actually.

    Surviving On Five Brothers Pipe Tobacco!

    I was thinking if I didn’t bring it I’d find out if I missed it or not, and get an idea if I was at all craving nicotine. I was fine without it for a full day of traveling/flying, so I guess that’s indication enough.

    Surviving On Five Brothers Pipe Tobacco!

    Last week I was in Tucson visiting family. At first I wasn’t going to bring my pipe - figured I’d take a break. Then I came to my senses and realized smoking my pipe would be the only way to get a little alone-time, so I packed a cob and a packet of Five Brothers, which unlike some people, I...

    Do You Need To Dry Out Sun Bear?

    Tinned three years ago yesterday! Smoking this right out of the tin now. It’s tasty, but is burning a little hot.

    Do You Need To Dry Out Sun Bear?

    About to open this tin of 2021 Sun Bear Black Locust. It’s aged a few years, the tin is bulging a bit, and I’m hoping for a sweet smoke! But I’m wondering if I need to jar this right away, or if maybe there’s no rush if it needs to dry out a little anyway. What’s your experience with Sun Bear as...

    The Tobacco Purge — Why?

    I missed out on the OJK again! Next time it’s in stock, screw sales, I’m just buying a few pounds. Not out of panic! 😁

    The Tobacco Purge — Why?

    This reply is the winner! 😀 I guess I assumed since C&D was such a big player that they never did run out of the required leaf and manpower, but I suppose they might. And of course OJK is a popular blend. I’d think, though, that they could pause some of the less popular blends instead of...

    The Tobacco Purge — Why?

    I smoke almost only OJK, but I’ve never seriously stocked up because I can never decide if it’s better to go with bulk or tins. Bulk is a good deal, but sometimes I’ll get a pound-bag that’s got way too much tobacco powder in the bag. I was going to get a bunch of 2 oz tins but I hesitated and...

    The Tobacco Purge — Why?

    So smoking pipes.com is having a sale: 20% off all C&D tins. When I last checked, all the vendors seem to be out of ALL regular Old Joe Krantz, tins and bulk. What’s happening here? What are the vendors (and C&D) doing here? Why do they all let the supply run out completely, instead of keeping...

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    The audio, so we can hear the hiss?

    Who Bought All The OJK Bulk?

    Seems like all the main mailorder vendors are out of regular OJK bulk tobacco. I think P&C has been out of it for at least a few weeks. I don't know if it's after the recent holiday sales or what, but I opened one of my tins which is supposed to be aging, so I'm getting mildly frightened... Say...

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2023?***

    Just opened up a few ounces of nice, fresh Big & Burley, and am having a dance with Lady N. Tasty!

    Sun Bear 2023 - Is This Happening?

    I haven't smoked Sun Bear in a long time, but I have a few tins of I think the 2021 and the 2022 Sun Bear. I thought the 2021 was good, and had a bit of a graham-cracker taste. But I tried a tin of that after it had aged for about a year, and the flavor from the honey SEEMED to be much less than...
