    Ordering Bulk Burley Soon. Which Has the *Least* Amount of Casing?

    Mac Baren Burley London Blend is an excellent and refined blend. I've never had the Edgeworth Match, but I've heard good things about it.

    Smokers' Haven Annual Pipe & Cigar Show

    There might also be Columbus's famous Mya's chicken truck parked across the street for the event. If that's the case, I think all of my money will be spent on fried chicken and biscuits before the 24th. Either way, there will be food. We'll post more information periodically on our Facebook...

    War in Syria Reaches Latakia

    My perception of Syrian Latakia is that it is a bit deeper and more savory than Cyprian Latakia, but Cyprian is more robust or sharp in its smokiness. It probably depends a lot on a blend's composition as to which leaf would be better. There are plenty Cyprian Latakia blends that I think are...

    What Languages do You Speak?

    Hey guys! I know a good tool to supplement language learning that is free! I'm having a lot of fun with memrise.com. Also, I have heard people have a lot of fun with www.duolingo.com. On memrise, I am learning some Japanese and Chinese.

    I'm the hipster with the Ithaca 37 in the sea of 500s/870s.

    Samel Gawith Blends

    The only ones I really like are FVF, MVF, 1792, and Brown #4 FKT. If 1792 didn't taste so great, I am not sure I would put up with its unusually stubborn burning qualities. I have most success after a lot of drying and then I cut it into small cubes instead of the usual rubbing-out I do with...

    Also, the shop is going to be open later for you guys getting into town late (to 9:00 PM) on Friday. The Jazz band will be from 6-9, so that's like the fun time.

    Do You Find Yourself Gravitating Toward 'Simpler' Tobaccos?

    Simple in the sense that the blend is made consistently, dependable, available, and easy to smoke, yes. The Danish/German Golden Virginia blends like Golden Sliced, Escudo, Veermaster, Luxury Navy Flake, Special London, Reiner Gold, etc., have really won my favor. As you smoke these kinds of...

    If You Could Collect Only One Shape

    The hierarchy of pipe shapes according to NKB and sophisticated humans everywhere: 1) Bulldog 1b) Rhodesian 2) Oom Paul 3) Billiard & Co. 4) Everything Else 5) Zulu Naturally, a pipe collection of only Bulldogs, a pack of Bulldogs as it were, would have the highest possible average pipe...

    What's Your Favorite Season?

    I'm with Keeper. I grew up in New York and Autumn was always a special time. My family would always go apple picking around Columbus day and have a picnic.

    Columbus Pipe Show

    Of course! I can't wait. There's also going to be a pretty cool time at Smokers' Haven the day before the show (Friday) for those who are going to be in town early.

    The Seasonal Shift

    This Summer has been the first time I have experienced the shift that some pipe smokers make from English blends in the Autumn/Winter to Virginia blends in the Spring/Summer. I have never previously been this way, but for some months now, Virginia blends are all I want to smoke and English...

    Trying to Get Healthy

    I smoke a pipe and yank at bass guitar strings to keep the stress down, which as I am told, is the number one killer of men!

    Sharknado

    I going to have a fun night watching this. I don't think anything can beat The Room by Tommy Wiseau in the category of "So Bad it was Good" films, but it might come close.
