SPC Plum Pudding And Potlach
Plum Pudding is the best Balkan ever made in my opinion. I love it above everything else. Other people feel that way about Mississippi River. You have to try them for yourself or you'll never, ever know. But that's the fun part.- mattguss

Broken Pipe Joe Harb
What sad news that is. I had the pleasure of meeting Joe when my brothers and I created the Balakan Sobranie Throwdown in 2011. We asked Joe to be on the panel of judges with Rick Newcombe and Neill Archer Roan. Joe's renowned tobacco knowledge and superb taste abilities brought a sober...- mattguss

Chicago Pipe Show 2016
The Chicago show is fantastic and one of a kind. I am confident that it will continue and grow. Unfortunately, it doesn't help to peek behind the CPCC curtains and see the issues they have to address to make the show happen. We live in a changing world and the Chicago club has done an...- mattguss

Bill Bailey is a very good Balkan, great balance and lovely spice notes from the Turkish with a good foundation of latakia topped off with a smidge of earthy perique to...- mattguss

No offense meant but it seems like beginner gunsmithing is a dangerous hobby and will potentially fuck up your weapon beyond repair. The "dangerous" part is more important though. That said, I understand that may be why you got the gun. There are easier mods to put your toe in the water like...- mattguss
