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

    2004 Butera Blended Flake for my inaugural (for me) smoke of a blasted Falstaff (Charatan 2nd) diamond shank billiard. One of my favorite McClelland flakes, and the Falstaff was a sweet smoker all the way to the bottom.....but what would you expect from Charatan?

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

    We are taking over! But don’t worry, it just means better snacks and music. The only people who will suffer will be the ogres who wear socks with sandals!

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

    Having my Birthday smoke, as well as the inaugural smoke of a Colossal stacked billiard, some SG Grousemoor Plug sliced medium. I think I’ve joined the Lakeland cult.

    Castello Question

    The difference is who ran the company when the pipe was made, Scotti or his son in law Kino. As for the pipes themselves I haven’t noticed a marked shift. The Kino pipes do have a wider draft, but I’ve had Scotti stamped that had than standard drafts, one fairly early (‘50s?) Sea Rock lovat is...

    Praise to Peretti

    Tashkent is a real treat, there's nothing quite in its league out there. I think Royal is best Sobranie White style blend out there. Park Square is a nice, piquant Virginia.

    Don’t worry just a warm “Have you seen the Yellow Sign?” Is good enough for me!

    I'm Back!

    Don't worry, I don't have the hubris to think anyone noticed my absence, nor being here in the first place. But I am happy to be back smoking my pipe and thus able to visit here and not be tormented like Tantalus. In September of 2021 I contracted COVID the first time and lost my smell and...

    Landline Phone Down? Good Luck

    That's what I did....and now the cell service is getting worse and worse here. I'm taking a class in smoke signals and looking for pigeons......and maybe that thing Crocodile Dundee used.

    Pipe Wall Mount

    Billiard cue clips is what my local (The GatlinBurlier) uses. I assume they are pretty close in diameter to fishing pole clips.

    I Thought Balkan Sobranie Was Out of Production

    Not really sure what Germain was going for with this, but don't bother. I've never had anything labeled Balkan that was remotely close to this. Maybe 965 with a heaping of wet lawn clippings. If you're already on P&C try White Knight and Black House, they re much closer to Sobranie White and...
