    Any Savinelli Series 3 Owners?

    Would Love Recommendations on Blends.

    Haaaa. Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I may have to pull the trigger on From Beyond, the Turkish Latakia sounds more up my alley. Yes, it's the leather that turns me off. Also- do you mean to say English blends have fallen out of favor? Brown Irish X is in my wishlist. I miss Sansepolcro. I...

    Would Love Recommendations on Blends.

    Love love love HH Burley... A cob's best friend. Haven't tried any of the labels of OJK, thanks for the reminder! Also- I have a tin of Quiet Nights I've not popped yet and a few cobs on the way, I'll give it a fair shake one of these eves. Thanks.

    Would Love Recommendations on Blends.

    Noted, thank you. I don't want to give up on Latakia. I have had some really good smokes with Latakia present and the blend I say is my favorite 50% of the time (Bayou Night) has a friendly helping of the stuff. It's not that I've grown to dislike the taste of it, it's moreso that it doesn't...

    Would Love Recommendations on Blends.

    Reddit concurs unanimously that Three Friars should be on my list. Thanks, will defo get some when the budget allows tins again.

    Would Love Recommendations on Blends.

    Will grab Gawith Navy when it's available. Have added MB Navy to explore that vein a bit more. Didn't realize it but I do have a thing for Navy blends... I have a large stock of all of the bulk Navy blends offered by Newminster and Stokkebye and I have a hard time choosing between them. Escudo...

    Would Love Recommendations on Blends.

    Have only smoked it condimentally; will definitely keep it in mind. I've like blends with it- Dreams of Kadath, Savinelli 149 had a fermented dark fried leaf in it and I loved that. Thanks, noted

    Would Love Recommendations on Blends.

    Title edited for caps and brevity. See Rule 9. Original: At a dead end and would love some recs on blends to try next. What would you recommend me based off this information? My favorite blends are John Marr, Sansepulcro, Cloud Hopper, Bayou Night, Windjammer, and Newminster No. 400. I smoke...

    Football/soccer fan thread: who's your club and why?

    My manager at my job is an MUFC supporter- we get along great. Opposite halves of the table, some commonalities in staff (Rooney comes to mind first), generally an amicable relationship as far as I can tell.

    California- knock, knockin' on the golden door. Like an angel- preachin' on the burnin' shore.

    Just south of you here in Burlington, VT. Thanks for the well wishes.

    If Arlo Guthrie Asks, Yes...

    Let's hope the "optimum" comes this campaign. My best smoke should be yet to come- the blend I most want to try is Cabbie's Mixture. Been hunting it for four-five years.

    Football/soccer fan thread: who's your club and why?

    I'm an Everton supporter. Live in Vermont, grew up in Wisconsin, but my mom remarried when I was 6 and my stepdad is from Liverpool. He's Blue, so I am too and will be for life. We're the People's Club, even if the People aren't frickin happy past few years.

    Washing Mason Jars?

    I saw a How It's Made once on mason jars and I believe it was at the Ball factory... they steam 'em before they're packaged, I've never washed 'em before putting backie in, only between blends, as Rustie said- with high proof grain alcohol. Never tried Barkeepers Friend... thanks for the advice...

    Northern Vermont here.... North Side, represent- or something like that?

    Pipe Spotted in the Wild... on TV!!!

    Oh, that's a beaut. The color is awesome. Nice size too. He looks quite handsome with it! I got one just like it when I was a teenager, one of my first. Didn't keep it though, threw it back in and cast my line back out.

    Ah, Nijmegen! Do you like football? I'm partial to NEC and Vitesse in Eredivisie.

    Does my Briar Pipe really Need Resting ?

    I've worked out a strategy: I live in a place that is so prohibitively expensive and with so few niche shops around and such low median wages that even when I have the disposable income for the pipes I want, I have to go online to procure them. I'm less impulsive when I can't have something in...
