    A Toscano Antico on the deck with some High West rye. My pal Archie is on his favorite camp chair and there’s good music on the Bluetooth speaker. Perfect evening!

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

    Gawith Hoggarth Dark Flake unscented in a Charatan’s Make Authentic. Sipping on a fine lager from Jack’s Abby and watching the rain out on the screened in deck. We were so spoiled with beautiful weather this week and now that the weekend is here, there’s nonstop rain in the forecast lol!

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

    Still a warm 80 degrees out this evening here in Maryland! Hanging on the deck with the ceiling fan on low enjoying some Gawith Hoggarth Dark Flake unscented in a Castillo shape 55. A little bit of High West rye to pair and some Tom Petty on the Bluetooth speaker. As usual, all 3 cats are...

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    Two Petersons currently in the collection. The first one pictured is a Dracula. The second is a Mark Twain previously owned by the late, great Buddy Winemuller of the Chesapeake Pipe Club. Buddy was like a second grandfather to me. One of the nicest guys I’ve ever met and all you had to do...

    Show Us Your American Made Pipes

    I have (2) American made pipes currently and they are among my best smokers! The first one pictured is a Bertram 125 made by the long extinct Washington DC shop. They graded their pipes numerically and to this day, I have never seen one graded higher than this 125. It has the most open draw...

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

    Enjoying a beautiful evening on the deck with some GH Black Irish XXX in a Savinelli Estella (316EX). Don’t smoke this one too often, but was in the mood to sip some Bulleit bourbon and this is just about the best thing to pair with this tobacco, aside from a cigar!

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

    Enjoying a lovely morning on the deck with a 50/50 blend of GH Dark Plug/Old Dark Fired in a Bertram (125). Have allowed the little ones some deck time this morning. Pictured below is Wolfie, who so far, is behaving himself and hasn’t yet attempted to climb the screen lol! A cup of Jamaican...

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

    Enjoying the last evening of my 10 day Spring Break with some Gawith Hoggarth Dark Flake unscented in a Stanwell Golden Danish. Not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow, but I feel like I made the most of the break and with getting Easter Monday off, at least it’s a shortened work week!

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

    Enjoying a birthday pipe on the deck this chilly morning with the space heater cranking. It’s 2017 Gawith Hoggarth Dark Plug in a Charatan Authentic. My parents gifted me a pound of Peaberry Blue Mountain coffee, so I am enjoying a cup fresh from the French press. Looking forward to a great...

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

    Well, tomorrow I will turn the ripe old age of 43, so celebrating with a cigar on the deck this evening. It’s a Rocky Patel Sumatra paired with a 5 yr old glass of Oskar Blues barrel aged Ten Fidy imperial stout. A little John Coltrane on the Bluetooth speaker is rounding things out nicely!

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

    Happy St Patrick’s Day! Enjoying some aged MacBaren ODF on the deck with a good cup of coffee fresh from the French press. That is Archie in the background. He is a Maine coon/tabby mix that we rescued as a stray several yrs ago. He has turned out to be the best cat we’ve ever had and he...

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

    The work week is over and I’m out on the deck enjoying well aged MacBaren ODF in a Charatan’s Make (Authentic). A glass of Von Trapp’s Pilsner on the side and some Ray Charles on the Bluetooth speaker.

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

    Enjoying another beautiful evening on the deck with more of the well aged MacBaren ODF in a GBD Conquest pedigree. A little decaf coffee on the side and currently mellowing out to some Wes Montgomery on the Bluetooth speaker
