Danish Sir Walter Raleigh
Whelp, I got my pouch of Sir Walter Raleigh regular in the mail from SmokingPipes this afternoon, cracked it open, and gave it a sniff. Now I'm not sure exactly what Sir Walter Raleigh is supposed to smell like, having never had it before, but this tobacco smells like it was soaked in enough...- Skippy B. Coyote

***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***
I always take my dog out for a late night walk sometime between 1:00 AM and 4:00 AM (I'm a bit of a night owl) and usually bring a pipe along with if the weather is accommodating. Tonight I brought the Morgan Bones Milan, loaded up with Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Loose Cut. Two days later I...- Skippy B. Coyote

***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***
Smoking the Dr. Grabow Royalton today and I'm on my second pipeful of what I think is a really fantastic and underappreciated blend, Super Value Bourbon Whiskey. I've made it a point to try every whiskey flavored blend I could get my paws on, and I'll be darned if Sutliff's Super Value...- Skippy B. Coyote

***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***
Smoking Haunted Bookshop twice last night may have been a mistake, because oh boy does it ever feel like someone rubbed my throat down with sandpaper today! That's alright though, it just means that today will be a mellow aromatic day while I wait for my throat to recover. This morning's smoke...- Skippy B. Coyote

***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***
I only smoked my pipes twice today, but Haunted Bookshop was my smoke of choice both times. The first smoke was in a Morgan Bones Milan and the second was (and still is, since I'm smoking it this very moment) in a Dr. Grabow Lark. It may not be the smoothest blend in the world, but nothing...- Skippy B. Coyote

***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***
Thanks for the suggestion! I actually have some Winchester and like the flavor quite a bit, but alas it gives me a pretty sore throat every time I smoke it like almost all of C&D's blends do unless I drink a throat coating beverage while smoking them. I don't know what it is about C&D's...- Skippy B. Coyote

Danish Sir Walter Raleigh
I've got a pouch of Sir Walter Raleigh regular on the way from SmokingPipes that should be here by the end of the week, so I'll report back when it arrives as to whether or not I got a vinegar bombed pouch. I'm hoping I'll get a good batch without the vinegar, but after reading all the reports...- Skippy B. Coyote

Small, Medium, Large Tins Or Bulk Preference
I like little 1.5 to 2 ounce tins. I tend to smoke a pretty wide variety of blends so it takes me quite awhile to go through a small tin, and that gives my cellared tins a good long time to age while I'm smoking through whatever I currently have open and stashed away in an 8 oz Ball jar. Bulk is...- Skippy B. Coyote

Thank you Jim! I'll give both of those a try! 👍 For now I'm back home smoking with my good friend Captain Black original, and this cob is sure getting one heck of a workout today! It'll be getting a good cleaning after this and rested for a couple days.- Skippy B. Coyote

***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***
A little late night pipe under the streetlight as I ponder what might make a good "All day, anytime" blend. First I ran through a cob of Cornell & Diehl Pegasus, now I've got it loaded up with Prince Albert. It's a cob so I don't particularly mind smoking it twice in the same day without giving...- Skippy B. Coyote

Nording compass pipes
I once heard the aesthetics of the Nording Compass described as, "a bespoke crack pipe" and ever since then I've never had the courage to pick one up and try it out. They sure do have a unique look to them and I've also heard that they're very good smokers, but I don't need the police showing up...- Skippy B. Coyote

***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***
Carter Hall in a Dr. Grabow Lark. I really enjoy Carter Hall, but every now and then I get this weird astringent chemical flavor hit from it. Not sure what that's about but I put up with it since I very much like the mellow burley/virginia flavor with it's subtle hints of bourbon and cocoa I...- Skippy B. Coyote

***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***
Haunted Bookshop in a Country Gentleman cob for me tonight. In spite of the fact that it can often irritate my throat if I don't have a beverage while smoking it, Haunted Bookshop may very well be my all time favorite pipe blend. I just love that "tastes the way a musty old bookstore smells"...- Skippy B. Coyote

***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***
This morning I started my day with Mac Baren 7 Seas Red Blend; which is something I haven't had in quite awhile. It's a pleasantly tart sour cherry blend, and while I don't like it quite as much as Cult Blood Red Moon it's still an easy second place for me when it comes to cherry aromatics and...- Skippy B.

I started my day with Orlik Golden Sliced in the Morgan Bones, and now I'm having a nice leisurely evening smoke of some Cornell & Diehl Pegasus in a Country Gentleman cob. I've always smoked Pegasus in very small pipes since I found it a little harsh, but trying it now in a larger pipe it's...- Skippy B. Coyote

Idyllic Night
When I think about a really perfect evening I'm imagining it's mid-autumn and I'm cooking up a pot of homemade split pea soup on the stove, then enjoying it with some thick slices of hearty whole meal bread topped with well aged cheddar. For a beverage some local apple cider sounds nice, and for...- Skippy B. Coyote

***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***
Every night right about this time I always stop and ask myself, "You've got a cellar full of 80 or 90 of some of the finest premium pipe tobacco blends from all around the world, so why on Earth are you smoking Captain Black?" I'll ponder the question for a minute or two, slowly sipping my...- Skippy B. Coyote

I just got a tin of Gawith Hoggarth Best Brown #2 in the mail today so I'm giving this blend a try for the first time, in a Morgan Bones Milan.puffy On one level it's nothing special, it's just a basic Virginia/Burley mix with no detectable toppings and no condimental tobaccos, but on...- Skippy B.

The Decline of Prince Albert and Carter Hall
I lack the perspective of older pipe smokers, having only been smoking my pipes daily for about 2 years now, so I never got to try the original US made Carter Hall. However, I can say that after trying 80 or so different blends the current version of Carter Hall is definitely in my top 4...- Skippy B. Coyote
