***What Are You Smoking, December 2025?***
Decided to have some Sasieni Balkan in a no name meer bent. This will probably be my last post for a few days. I have some old friends coming into town that I used to ride with when I did Cavalry reenacting. We will sit around the fire pit, smoke cigars and pipes, sip bourbon and reminisce...- Choatecav

Time To Give Up The Hobby
I just have to say that I have followed this thread pretty closely and continue to be just "gobsmacked" at the ordeal that you folks from other countries have to go through to enjoy this basic hobby of pipe smoking. Never would I have dreamt it would be so tough and/or costly to simply order...- Choatecav

Pipe Shape Subtleties........
I was aware of the Yachtsman/zulu being the same, but not familiar with the Woodstock. I will say that as is pointed out in the article, Zulu's/Yachtsman's are among the easiest pipes for me to clench. Very light and balanced.- Choatecav

I never thought you were speaking disparagingly about Southern culture (although God knows plenty of folks do...). I just assumed that since Wigginton's reputation took a beating due to the conviction, there may have been a stigma attached in certain areas. No biggie..........- Choatecav

Cold and cloudy all day. The high around 30 with freezing rain last night. Still cold but should be dry for a day or so. Had some HU English Breakfast in a Peterson Galway #417. Our Husky, Jade, wanted to get in on the action.- Choatecav

So, you're saying that because of what Wigginton was convicted of, having those books became a liability??- Choatecav

McClelland Christmas Cheer 2001
I find @punkeedo s experience with the changes found in a blend that is over 20 years old to be quite interesting. If any of you have stories about how other blends evolve after a decent amount of time (it doesn't have to be 20 years) I would urge you to please share the experience. Thanks- Choatecav

Punkeedo, while I have not smoked any McClelland C. C...... I really do appreciate posts like this that give insight to what certain blends do after extended aging. It helps me learn what types of tobaccos do over time. Thanks.- Choatecav

Pipe Shape Subtleties........
Ok folks, I need some help on this one.... This Charatan Executive has a long, oval shank with a saddle stem and at first pass should qualify as a Lumberman..... BUT it doesn't have the Lumberman bowl but rather an apple bowl. What would you call it?? (I know someone will say "LumberApple")...- Choatecav

I knew you would "knock it out of the park." Poe really cast a broad shadow in the world of horror writing. I still read his books again and again. Glad you liked it.- Choatecav

Hey Paul, I saw a cool quiz online on your avatar, Edgar A. Poe. Since you are the re-incarnation of Mr. Poe, this should be a snap for you. Fun, too...- Choatecav
