    Jim's C&D Steamworks Small Batch 2024 Review.

    Lots of pipe tobacco is steamed. None of mine from last year molded, it all became ash.... as with many makers, ymmv. It's worth a two tin purchase. 1 for now and 1 for the cellar. I'm picking up a few this afternoon.

    Mac Baren Dark Twist

    I found it a little sweet but still enjoyable. Then I started mixing 50/50 with ODF or Bold Kentucky flake and that added the savory umph with some kick. Good stuff.

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

    23 Drucquer & Sons Levant in a Briarworks 10th Anniversary Black Blast on Black Stem Zulu. The Pipe: I was 50/50 on this shape when they released it but was there for the 10th Anniversary Party and Black Blast on Black Stem is a favorite combo of mine so I bit. Pretty glad I did. Not only is it...

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

    Some 2011 McClelland Blue Mountain in a Moonshine Briarworks Brown Blast Tortoise stem Stublin around the gaming table last night. A fellow player gave me a tin of this last year for my birthday, so I smoke a bowl when we play in his tribute.

    Eight State Burley Question

    Well I thought it was prudent to follow up with the issue so folks that I confused could have a better view of my view of the situation I commented on. So now you know. It was fun!

    Eight State Burley Question

    You didn't answer my question and I didn't ask if you trusted anyone. Well I have reached back out to them to ask for clarity. I didn't intentionally mislead anyone. I could have gotten what I was told mixed up. The result of this is below. They do use a 'small amount' of PG. I didn't ask how...

    Eight State Burley Question

    The ambiguousness of this could be interpreted as I work for the company or am a liar, or both. Or were you thanking me?

    Eight State Burley Question

    I spoke with someone that works there and they don't use it.

    C&D’s Palmetto Balkan

    I got this year and popped the 22. I smoked it all weekend. It's going to enjoy some fresh air and I will continue to enjoy it as it ages open. Glad I got some!

    On the Fence... About this Cellar...

    So I dove right into pipe smoking when I started. Still all over it, still love it but... I went overboard on TAD FOMO.
