    Roll Call for Musicians!

    Music teacher here. Woodwind major. Sax, flute and clarinet. (As a music teacher I play all sorts of stuff) Main focus is jazz but love and play all sorts of stuff. Most recently acquired a bass sax. Lots of fun.

    Will check it out if we’re nearby. Sadly not mobile this trip. Maybe another time. Thanks to you both!

    Pipe Shops in Philly

    Heading to Philly for a day trip in July. Any pipe shops worthy of the name there?

    Smokers Haven of the Southtowns - Buffalo, NY Area

    Had a quick visit. A cool shop with decent stock. NY excise tax is insane and makes significant tobacco purchase difficult but they had a nice selection of tobacco and their handmade pipes are pretty cool. The family seems nice as well. Will definitely be back.

    Smokers Haven of the Southtowns - Buffalo, NY Area

    Hello. I’m hoping to stop by Smokers Haven of the Southtowns near Buffalo NY tomorrow. Is there anything that they would have that shouldn’t be missed? Thanks!

    Help Me with Cavicchi

    I have 1 Cavicchi and it is one of the best smoking pipes I own. The stem is quite comfortable to me.

    Propylene Glycol - Virginia Tobaccos

    ^^^This^^^. Probably one of those things it’s not worth overthinking. Smoke what you like. I don’t thing the presence or absence of PG will change the risk factors of smoking much.

    RIP Ramsey Lewis

    He was amazing and playing and recording right up to the end.

    New Watch City Releases

    Smoking my first bowl of Waltham and it is fantastic. More heft to me in the vitamin N department than Slices. Overall a solid wonderful smoke.

    SG Commonwealth = Creamy

    Nice review. I love blends with creamy mouth feel. Don’t think I have tried Commonwealth or if I did it was many years ago. Some other blends that have some creaminess to it for me are SPC Plum Pudding, 965 (not sure of the current version - I’m still smoking bulk from 2000) and Kendal Cream Flake.

    Favorite Oriental Forward Blend?

    Haven’t tried it yet but I believe it is the same components as Regents Flake but slightly tweaked for the plug format.

    Favorite Oriental Forward Blend?

    Red Raparee is more oriental forward I think than black Mallory. I don’t think I’ve tried either of the knights so I’ll leave it to someone more knowledgeable to answer that one.

    Favorite Oriental Forward Blend?

    Great suggestions. Smoking WCC Glass Slipper right now. Excellent first smoke. Love Bijou and Regents Flake. I like Embarcadero but have to be in right mood as it’s a bit “dry” in terms of sweetness. Wilke 111 has a small bit of Latakia. Presbyterian is also very light on the Lat. I think Red...

    Blends Like C&D Black Frigate?

    Haven’t tried Blockade Runner but Navigator is great. I also love Perfection and for a Latakia blend that isn’t defined by it Edward G Robinson was a great surprise. Don’t smoke it often but it is on my all time favorite blend list. Watch City Persian Slipper might be a good match but even...

    Burley Flake #3

    I don’t believe C&D uses PG so it’s most likely something else that irritates you.

    Is a Zippo Pipe Insert Really Better?

    Weird that there is no flame adjustment. You would think that would be a standard thing.

    What Has Happened to Samuel Gawith Blends?

    Ooooh. Bracken Flake…..🤤

    What Has Happened to Samuel Gawith Blends?

    Yes, they have repeatedly stated that there has been no change in the sauce l bell but many of us have repeatedly noticed that new versions are barely flavored. That said, they are still great blends but not the same.

    Jim's 7-20-4 Reviews.

    Thanks Jim. Nice reviews, as usual. Hadn’t heard of Twins before. Their website doesn’t mention pipes or tobacco. Too bad.
