    Smoking a Pipe with GERD/Reflux

    My wife's list of my issues is longer than my list of my issues. 🤣

    Smoking a Pipe with GERD/Reflux

    Flatulence is on my list of "issues" as well. Just ask my wife.

    Show off Your Ropp Pipes here!

    Disaster strikes! I had my first pipe casualty earlier this week. I was gently removing the stem from my J06 and heard a little snick sound. Sure enough, the shank had cracked along the left side, almost to the bowl. I had finished smoking the pipe about an hour prior and figured it was...

    Smoking a Pipe with GERD/Reflux

    My job started getting WAY more stressful at about the same time my GERD started. So, there is that. I don't see that changing until I retire in a few years. I know what you mean about teamwork. I used to be the only Field Engineer on site. A team of one. My supervisor was in another state, and...

    Smoking a Pipe with GERD/Reflux

    I have had GERD symptoms for a few years. My GERD has recently improved from diet and other changes. My chronic cough has turned into a nagging tickle in my throat. I want to get rid of all symptoms. No alcohol and caffeine, so the only vice remaining is nicotine from pipe tobacco. Mon-Fri I...

    C&D Engine #382 vs C&D Crooner

    Thanks, I missed that one. I excluded Gentlemen Caller because I didn't want to pay the premium for a 2 oz tin, just in case I hate Deer Tongue.

    C&D Engine #382 vs C&D Crooner

    I want to give Deer Tongue a try. From the descriptions and reviews I am leaning to #382 as it is not as strong as Crooner. Both are available in bulk so I should probably try an ounce of each. For those who have tried both blends, do you have a preference and why? Or do you hate both?

    TAD Acquisitions 2024

    The C&D sale started soon after I placed my last order. This is some of what I have in my wish list. I am liking Pegasus so much I wanted to try some of their other burley blends. My TAD budget is shot so I will have to wait awhile for my next order. If I had only waited a few days. ☹️

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

    What is going on with that cob? The top half of the bowl looks like a MM Legend and the bottom half looks like a MM Pride.

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

    Do you think it would improve it by adding DFK? Or maybe Ryback?

    Cellaring Conditions

    I can’t smell anything from my Mason jars stored on open shelves in my closet. Quite a few smelly aromatics on the shelves. My wife has a serious sniffer and would let me know if she could smell it. I can smell Latakia from my unopened round tins of English blends. I store those in a plastic...

    Dedicated Pipes

    I dedicated pipes when I first started out because I was experimenting with all different genres of tobacco and thought I needed to, based on internet hearsay. I had pipes for Latakia blends, aromatic blends, and Virginia and Virginia/Perique blends. Now I mostly just smoke burley, Virginia...

    This Could be Mega-Bad

    We have been in contact with our friends and most are staying put. One couple tried heading North on I75 and started worrying about the lack of availability of gas and they turned around and went back home. Another couple made it to Georgia. The neighborhood is 7 miles from the coast but the...

    Show Us Your Knife (And Pipe)

    Thanks...This is the first time that the gift website actually had an item I was excited to have. I usually just pick something for my wife, like jewelry or pots and pans.

    This Could be Mega-Bad

    We sold our house in Venice last year. Parts of our old neighborhood are being evacuated based on Evacuation Level. The street we lived on is under evacuation orders. I hope our friends and former neighbors play it safe and leave. Good luck to all forum members in the storm path. Be safe.

    What’s for Lunch?

    This picture reminded me of a sign a coworker has in her office, that states: "Step aside coffee. This is a job for alcohol." 😁

    Possibly the Funniest Thing I Have Seen in Ages!

    Two of my great uncles (brothers) joined the US Army after the attack on Pearl Harbor. One was infantry and the other was under Patton in tanks. They both fought their way to Germany and saw some shit. Your welcome. 😉

    Blending with D&R Two Timer

    I use it to help dry out, and tone down aromatics. I'm not into aros much anymore but want to use up what I have, so mixing with Two Timer really improves the smoke for me. I also mix it with D&R Windsail (Virginia). Usually mix it 50/50, but I play around with ratios. I also like it straight.

    Pegasus: Love for One Blend

    I bought 4 oz about 3 months ago and jarred it. It is getting better and better by the week. The rough edges are smoothing out. I didn’t care for it at first now I look forward to it. It will definitely stay in my rotation. I think I will try some OJK Blue and OJK White and see how they compare...

    TAD Acquisitions 2024

    I have the same idea. I packed my Three Sails in quart jars except for a few 8 oz and 4 oz jars to smoke now. I plan on waiting a year before cracking into the first quart. Same plan for the Windsail. I wasn’t crazy about the Ryback at first. It is my first go round with DFK. Some time in a...
