Copperhead and black widow here, not pleasant. My cobalt blue pictured above is known to cause convulsions, but many are harmless.

Fun thread. ...I don't like Latakia. I've tried, sometimes I feel like I'm locked outta heaven because of it.
The stuff spooks me out, I can't describe it...it tastes like ghosts and memories of things that are not my own. ?

Most of what I smoke has Latakia, and much also has some Perique.
But I am wondering about your handle! Are you a musician? The kg means.....? If too nosy, I will understand no reply.

I don’t like snooty attitudes when it comes to smoking. Enjoy what you enjoy. Seems like this place is a good deal less snooty than other boards...
I also don’t like arugula.

as long as they're not in striking distance they're fine.
yeah black widow bites suck. My favorite part is muscle aches, they're like the ache you get from mass inactivity like your legs after a long cramped car ride while also having the I moved several couches today that still had people sitting on them. Yes both types of aches at once. All in all only one of us survived that encounter so...
totally agree on both points. I don't like captain black but am happy others do. And arugula just make me say why.
yeah it is. And the shakes it gives you are amazing.
Orb weaver in my shed window. I like them because they catch thousands of mosquitos and flies, and even wasps. I often have to use my shopvac to suck up the piles of drained carcasses in the window sill under her web.
What was most amazing was the doctor's hesitancy about antivenom. She said allergic reaction from it may be more hazardous than the bite itself.
yeah that's why I didn't get the antivenom. The thing is in a small but real number of people it makes all the issues worse like one out of ten or even less. I thought I can hack this, it sucks but I'll manage, if it was worse not so sure how well I'd handle it.
For me, Sutliff is just a top notch aromatics "house" to use your term. Sure, they offer a few non-aros, but they just don't appeal to me. I still get a hint of their house sauce on them. And, folks will mention that they make things for other "houses." And, if I was a company wanting to outsource an aromatic to be made for me, I'd use them too. But, there's just not anything on their list that appeals to me. And, when I mention this, it always seems to crawl under some people's skins.
I love McClellands, but I can see how their "house" sauce could be a turn off to some, so it doesn't bother me when folks say they hate them. It's not my job to make other people like what I like, and it kills me to see when folks take this stuff that seriously. We've become such tender people. Like they are protecting a special needs kid getting bullied on the playground.
But, the thread is what we hate, so we really shouldn't be reading this thread looking for things to get butt hurt about. It's just a fun thread to share our dislikes. I dig it. camaraderie. It's a cool thing.
I kill spiders in the house, and my families appreciates it. I kills snakes close to my house. It really doesn't bother me if this upsets tender hearts. I don't like cobs, but I'm not coming to anyone's house to take theirs away. if you like snakes and spiders, good. Keep them at your house. I've also shot coyotes attacking my dogs. And, I have a few top notch artisan pipes relegated to the back of drawers because I just don't like them. I've thrown away a Peterson, and if this all makes me a lesser human in the eyes of others, well... that really doesn't bother me.
It actually makes me smile that someone else hates, despises Danish made pipes... that I love. And, if someone said that they hated them so much that they fly into a rage at the mere sight of them... I'd giggle, while packing up my Neerup to smoke. I actually like that we are all different. Hell, I love C&D blends, and everytime Skip is at The Briary, I love to ask him when he is going to start carrying them, just to see him get mad and spit on the floor. Embrace the damned rainbow.
Pipes made in France, never had a good smoker of French origin.
How many? Brand(s)?
My experience is the opposite; never had a bad one.
I am fortunate that I do love Perique!! ...someday Latakia and I will be friends. I smoked some C&D Junkyard Dawg, that got me close to enjoying some Lat
and, yes! I am indeed a musician -i play out all the time when there isn't a plague, mostly jazz/funk/jamband stuff. if you can see my signature there are some links to my music. cheers!

I shouldn't even post on a thread about the pipes I don't like because pipes of all kinds are my weakness. My local pipe shop owner, seeing me studying the pipe wall, asked me if I saw something I liked, and I told him I was looking for something I didn't like. Still, I will say, I'm partial to pipes that don't pack on the weight to the pipe unnecessarily. Some artisans and some brands tend to make all or most of their pipes on a scale and in a design that makes 2.5 oz the absolute minimum, with 4 oz being perfectly reasonable. Heavy to clench even to light. For the iron-jawed, this makes no difference, but for most of us, a little attention to keeping the weight down on many if not all pipes is a courtesy.
