    An Experiment

    I have wanted to try my hand at some amateur blending. Especially after receiving the box pass with all of the terrific blending tobacco that people put in there. I am going to ordering up some Kentucky Dark Fired(thanks Woodsroad for letting us try that), some Virginia No. 1 from McClelland...

    Some Blends Just Seem To Do Better in Certain Pipes

    So I bought a couple of tins of Capstan Blue when it first returned. I cracked open one of those tins this week and felt the flake and it was pretty moist. I cubed it up and set it to dry about an hour. Put it in one of my best VA smoking pipes, a danish freehand Royal Danish pipe. This pipe...

    I Heard Something

    I am just wondering if this rumor that I heard from a local tobacconist is true or not. They have been having a hard time stocking some of the Dan tobacco blends and told a friend of mine and myself that they were discontinuing some of their popular blends like Blue Note, Malthouse, Patriot...

    What Blend Caught You by Surprise?

    I am wondering what blend caught you by surprise? Something that you were not expecting in a good way. For me it was Peter Stokebeye's Luxury Twist Flake. I love the LBF but this one was a very nice surprise to me. It was flavorful and smells intoxicating in the jar!!

    Update On Our Newest Family Member

    As a lot of you know, we adopted an American Staffordshire Terrier, aka: a pit breed, back in August. She was a rescue dog who had been very mistreated by the previous owners of the people we got her from. She is adjusting very well to our family. She is my boys best friend often playing...

    I may have to get used to this, but today while I was taking my dog(Abby, our little pit mix) out (in our fenced back yard) a lady walks by with two basset hounds. Our neighbors dog, who is also a pitbull that barks at everyone that walks by but is the the biggest little weenie, starts to bark...

    How Senseless.

    I don't understand how people can disregard another human being like this. Someone who fought for our country to have their life taken by two punks. This makes me angry...

    Went Fishing this morning. Smoked some FMOTT, was a great day out on the dock caught 2 rainbow trout. However, the hilarious part is my buddy was smoking and went to tap out his ash and dropped his pipe in the lake. Good thing it was a cheapo basket pipe. About 5 minutes later he went for a cast...

    What's Your Favorite Part of the Smoke?

    I haven't really found a favorite part of the smoking experience. On some days I really love the charing light.
