    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2024?***

    Noon-day smoke at work! I’ve got MB Golden Extra burley in the Dominique Signature bent egg/fat brandy pipe. Here’s to another 4 hours of work before heading home!

    One-Off Ashtray I Made

    The ashtray was for a Christian charity and Christian biker club, so I thought it fitting to do a cross, which is what the design is. As far as dimensions go, the rail/horizontal portion is 7” across, and the stile/vertical portion is 10” tall. The width of both sections was 3”, and each...

    One-Off Ashtray I Made

    I’m a carpenter/remodeling contractor by trade, but rarely put my woodworking tools to use for making much other than cabinets, vanities, custom trimwork jobs, etc. However, I was approached recently to build something for a raffle/auction for a charity motorcycle ride to benefit a Christian...

    ***What Are You Smoking, September 2024?***

    Enjoying my day off on the porch, soaking in the gorgeous weather here in the foothills of NC… mid-70’s, but feels like low 60’s under the giant pin-oak trees near our front porch. As for tobacco, I have some nicely dried Virginia No. 1 in my small chamber (and freshly restored) Kaywoodie...

    Mac Baren HH blends

    HH Virginia Flake was a tobacco I fell in love with instantly, and hope to try HH Burley Flake soon, as I’m segueing into burleys.

    Show Off Your Chimneys

    I love the shank and blast too, I’ve been staring at it since I opened the mail this afternoon. I’m wary of the logo as well… it’s got a decent amount of oxidation on the stem that’ll need to be addressed: will an oxi-clean bath remove the logo paint? If so, I’ll just tape the logo and micro...

    Post Your Parental Pipe!

    Mine isn’t a parental pipe, it’s my grandpa’s pipe that he gave to me some years ago when he quit smoking. It’s a Cumberland-stemmed Savinelli 316KS Moka. I’ll give it a proper restoration when my new restoration supplies come in… I can’t wait to see that Cumberland stem with a high-gloss shine...

    Who Chews?

    Why is everyone talking about dip tobacco when the post is named “Who Chews?” Yes, I used to use Levi Garrett CHEW tobacco, lol. Went up to $16/pouch and that was it for me. Now I just stick with trusty pipe tobacco 👍🏼 But for the record, chew tobacco, dip tobacco, and snuff tobacco are 3...

    I’m happy to contribute potentially helpful information in our never ending quest for that consistent, heaven-sent smoking experience!

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***

    It may not be a Peterson Sunday, but it MAY be a p-lip Sunday 😂 I’m having a folded and stuffed MacB HH Virginia Flake in a Wellington bent and blasted p-lip pipe, with a very narrow .62” chamber. For the record, I DID NOT get the memo, I simply loaded this pipe up and realized what I’d become a...

    An Alternative Technique to Avoid Tongue Bite

    I am happy that this is working for you, and that it has made a more enjoyable smoking experience for you. No doubt I may give it a try just to see how it goes. That being said, I smoke only Virginias (with an occasional burley blend here and there). I suppose due to the high volumes of...

    Look how gentle that stummel/stem bend is… 🫡

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2024?***

    Enjoying an early pipe on the front porch as the sun comes up, accompanied by a little quiet Bible reading. I’m smoking Dunhill/Peterson Flake in a Dominique Signature bent brandy-ish pipe. A simplistic but very enjoyable smoke!

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2024?***

    One thing I’ve found in the recent weeks, is that I achieve the most sublime smoking taste when I follow a certain procedure: when I get to the relight point of a bowl of Dunhill Flake (usually about 2/3 of the way through the bowl), I top it off with nicely air-dried MacB Virginia No. 1. How...

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2024?***

    First smoke in this new to me Kaywoodie Drinkless billiard, with 4-hole stinger. It seems this means it’s from the 1930’s, and is from one of the better eras for Kaywoodie pipes. I’ve never smoked one, and I have to say it did smoke very effortlessly and gently, especially for an almost 100 year...
