    Deer Tongue? That was easy!

    In a recent post, several of us were lamenting the lack of Deer Tongue, aka Vanilla Leaf (not to be confused with vanilla bean) in the latest iteration of C&D’s Crooner. You want something, you click, and it appears at your doorstep. I’m preparing some clean mason jars - 4 ounces is a lot...

    I Want to Purchase a Quality Meer. Please Recommend a Brand!

    My Criteria? Reputable Quality. I’m interested in putting a Meer through its paces. I’m in uncharted territory with regard to Meers. Although I do own one African Meer - I don’t believe it’s among the better smoking pipes.

    Best Briar Brexit Thread

    I have a collection of Briar pipes. Modest by many standards, excessive by others. All are straight billiards of similar proportions, representing a wide cross section of iconic, factory-made pipes - Perhaps 50. Yet — the pipes in my rotation are NOT high end. A No Name Basket with a natural...

    Cornell & Diehl’s DT Trio

    I decided to order C&D’s Trio of Deer Tongue blends, pour myself a cup of dark roast coffee and have a New Years Day tongue fry. I began by cracking C&D’s Engine 382. A fragrant mix of dark and white burley, bright virginia, a touch of unsweetened black cavendish and a splash of, you guessed...

    Bowl Material or Engineering?

    I’m paraphrasing something I’d read from a pipe smoking machinist…I wish I could remember where to give him credit… [“All pipes have draft holes which vary in size. Taste, burn quality, ash formation is affected by draft hole diameter. The flavors we enjoy are only made possible by molecules...

    OJK BLUE or PEGASUS?

    A forum member has shared that between OJK Blue and Pegasus, he favors OJK Blue. I recently asked why. He replied that Pegasus has an off-putting sourness. This brief conversation led to a back to back bowls. In fact, I just finished both and I swim in nicotine. I’m glad these two blends...

    Unsweetened Black Cavendish

    Hello all, I’m a classic American blend aficionado. Fancy way of saying I prefer burley scraps above all else. I truly enjoy do the nuttiness and mildness of tobacco blends like Granger, Carter Hall, SWR, Pegasus, OJK Blue. Comfort tobaccos. My question is this.,. What will adding...

    BBB Contrast 636 Sitter

    I’ve just added another Billiard to my collection. My third British Briar behind a Parker and a Dunhill. It’s drilled beautifully and isn’t too hard on the eyes. I can’t wait to bring it down a few pegs with some Granger! I actually haven’t purchased a smooth billiard in quite a stretch...

    Blessing or Curse?

    The Blessed @cosmicfolklore commented that there are very few blends that he doesn’t enjoy and I imagine @JimInks is able to find something endearing about many, many blends. The Cursed Me? I don’t do Latakia nor straight Virginias nor Dark Fired nor Perique. I distaste anything artificial, too...

    C&D Winchester & Others

    I ordered some new tobaccos to try and have enjoyed subsequent bowls of two so far. I’m quite enamored with Cornell and Diehl’s Winchester. The other is the Sutliff Match Ready Rub —Interesting chunky cut that one—I rubbed it out further. The CD Winchester is a joy to smoke. Tasty, pure leaf...

    Unknown Pipe. Anyone?

    A friend rediscovered pipe smoking and has a small collection of pipes going back 30 years. He took these pics. Anyone?

    Pointed Pipe Prevails

    Kid, you make some good points… However, I’m holding a pipe… I am now pointing the pipe… Which renders your argument null and void.

    Pegasus or Old Joe Krantz Blue Label

    I’ve no right to crack another tin with as many as I have open but the talk of Old Joe (Blue Label) edging out Pegasus by admirers of Pegasus such as @ray47 and @marconi and @cosmicfolklore now even @dog_park_piper, another voice in the wind, have pushed me over the edge! And besides, @BROBS...

    Priceless

    Words cannot describe moments like these. A crisp December morning. New puppy asleep on my lap; he’ll know only love. Small heater providing a comfy mix of winter air and warmth. A cup of hot coffee and a bowl of Pegasus while I contemplate that tomorrow is Christmas Eve. Not the Christmas...

    Medicinal Purposes Only

    Wife has Covid and I’m caring for her. As of yet, I’m healthy — It’s been 3 days. I’m fully vaccinated, all three Pfizer. So aside from extra Zinc and Vitamin C — I’m keeping nicotine levels steady. I’ve read the studies. I do not care that they are inconclusive. I have nothing to lose...

    Savinelli Roma Lucite 673 KS

    Savinelli Roma Lucite 673 KS This was an impulse buy on Black Friday. I’m not a filtered pipe enthusiast nor do I often stray from my collection of classic tapered billiards. I’m a simple bloke all around with my tobacco and pipes. Matches 860 always made this pipe look like an appendage and...

    SWRA Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic

    Tossed in with my most recent order is a pouch of Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic. I did this on a whim and in large part to the touting of @mso489 who’s opinion I’ve come to trust. I base this on his thoughtful commentary on numerous topics. — Let’s see he’s right about SWRA. I remember well the...
