    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2024

    I decided to smoke a cigar today. One of my top ten favorites, an 8-year-old Paul Garmirian Artisian's Passion Robusto. When they were young first year, year and a half, for the first inch or so they were so intense it would blow my mind! Now they are just a deep rich smoke all the way through...

    Only Three Pipes

    I appreciate the heads-up guys on the Brylon Pipes. I am truly amazed that I never, that I can recall, picked up on them over my lifetime. Seems to me that they would be brittle!

    Types and Brands of Pipe Tobacco used, 1920's to 1940's

    I remember well that my father and grandfather both smoke pipes. In the 40s I was too young to notice but in the 50s I was a teenager and noticed everything. I recall, they both smoked Prince Albert. My grandfather also smoked Granger and my father also smoked Revelation. My grandfather was a...

    Only Three Pipes

    For me it would be these and I would lose the Meerschaum. The Briar would become my daily smoker and the Cob would become my saver! How Much Tobacco to I have with me?

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

    Yesterday, I smoked two bowls of Boswell Best from 2009 out of a cob. Opened it for the 1st time since it was sealed in 2009. It was still sealed tightly. I sense a bit more richness from the Virginia and simply a bit more richness overall. It's nice but not the same. The vanilla topping that I...

    What Foodstuffs Best Define the Place Where You Live?

    Yes, you are correct. I believe the candies they make are unbeatable. Everything they make just seems to be a touch over the competition. I also love the Cherry Cordials. Sadly, it's only about a ten-minute ride from my home to their location!

    The Decline of Prince Albert and Carter Hall

    Personally, I love Walnut, also made by John Middleton Co. and with the demise of Carter Hall and Prince Albert also came the demise of Walnut. I have one 4oz jar of Walnut from Aug 2009 left and plan to open soon, and one sealed 12oz Tin. from that same period. I have heard that one of the...

    Suddenly Lost my Taste for Pipe Tobacco

    I would urge you to see your family doctor and get a blood test. Something has changed within you, and you need to know what. Covid could be the culprit. Many people find themselves with issues popping up and found it to be from Covid and they never even knew they had it. It certainly cannot...

    Any EDC CCW'ers?

    Here in Nevada, it is legal to open carry without a license as long as you are of legal age and not a felon. They also allow for CCW licenses with the proper training and testing. I have a CCW license and carry virtually every day, all day. Almost anywhere I go my carry gun goes with me. Why...
