Opening A Tin? Show Us!
Woke up with a hankering for Burley with the coffee. Had to pop open what's probably my favorite blend. The pipe is a Georg Jensen billiard.- jbfrady

Old School Pipe Smoker Barry Kane on Radio Show of November 19, 2024
When it comes to the STG rant, I understand the gloom, but I'd like to offer the doom a counterpoint. There's nothing worse than a legendary or historic brand taking a turn for the worst, and it's exactly what Mac Baren was set to do after the death of HH. They canned Per Jensen, had plans to...- jbfrady

I found the blend sweet too, but the sweetness was slain on the retro-hale in exchange for the Orientals. They're also the youngest leaves though, so I believe they'll move to the back seat over time. I'm also a prodigious snuffer haha, so one could argue that my nose likes tobacco quite a...- jbfrady

Update on this... I tried it again today in a different pipe and I was experiencing the same unpleasant aftertaste and my buddy Alex was still loving the blend in the pipe he was smoking. He told me it's probably in his top 5 period, a strong statement that baffled me. I began paying...- jbfrady

I'm not the biggest C&D fan but I'd put this on my exceptions list. Sun Bear is far and away my #1 from them, with Mad Fiddler clocking in at #2. This would be #3. I like the unorthodox twist on the English mixture and I'd hesitate to even call this English because the Latakia gets lost in the...- jbfrady

Decided to give this one a shot... The pipe is a custom J Adams.- jbfrady

So odd. I've only tried it once but to me, Marlin Flake tastes of caramel and I never let tobacco dry before trying it, nor do I rub flakes out.- jbfrady

Savinelli Jupiter. Purchased 3/23 but hard to say exactly how old it is. Given the color of Virginias I'm assuming no later than 2022. Enjoyed in a new Kaywoodie Redroot Chunky Billiard made by @crashthegrey- jbfrady

Tyson v. Paul
Not to tell anyone in particular I told you so... but I might've implied that this was gonna happen. To my knowledge, there's not been an occasion where an old fella comes out of retirement to show some young buck what's what and actually shows him what's what.- jbfrady

Tyson v. Paul
It's not that I disagree. It wasn't until I read George Foreman's assessment of Paul that I really started thinking about the correlation. Foreman believes people are underestimating Paul's legitimate skill and when he said it, I took note and tried to peer through the YouTubiness of it all. But...- jbfrady

Tyson v. Paul
At that point in Clay's career, followers of boxing accused him of being all hype because his managers (as all good managers do) only arranged fights they thought he could win. Think what you want about Paul (I certainly do), but the fact remains that he's in the same boat. Maybe he'll have a...- jbfrady

Tyson v. Paul
I agree with you there, but that was the exact point expressed in the last sentence of my post that you excluded: "Not saying this will necessarily go the same way, but it's looking hella similar."- jbfrady

Tyson v. Paul
I can't ignore that most of the rhetoric surrounding this match is the exact same as when Archie Moore came out of retirement to show a young Cassius Clay what's what. Everybody knew that Moore was going to shut up the Louisville Lip. Needless to say, Ali beat the shit out of that old man. Not...- jbfrady

I've been opening too much shit lately. Here's my attempting at slowing that roll: time for a big ol' bag. DTM Mellow Mallard. Recent release.- jbfrady

STG closes Mac Baren and Sutliff
It'll be interesting to see how it affects pipe shows as well. I've only been to the Vegas show twice, but Sutliff and Tobaccopipes were sponsors at both.- jbfrady

What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024
Classic Oliva, enjoyed in the classiest joint I've ever visited: Fellaship ATL. Located in downtown Atlanta, featuring a full cocktail bar with all sorts of food and a quaint humidor that sticks all the basic necessities, this place is owned by NFL legend Cam Newton. I didn't realize I was...- jbfrady
