    More Bad News for Canadians

    When New Zealand passed that lifetime ban nonsense I knew other countries would follow suit, I figured Canada would be the second but third is not far off. It's just like how Australia passed plain packaging and more and more countries are doing it. Anti smoking legislation anywhere is a threat...

    Show Off Your Meerschaum Pipes Here!

    I recently picked up this unsmoked no name meer at an antiques shop. It passed the touch test so I went ahead and got it. Once I pick up another Bic EZ light I'll start smoking it.

    Food & Drink in South Korea - What to Try?

    I'm rather fond of Korean rice cakes, they're nothing like American rice cakes.

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

    I had a bowl of Rattray's Marlin Flake in my bent Bruken Selecta sitter. Excellent smoke. While I was smoking I chanced upon this excellent recording of John Rhys-Davies reading Durin's song, having been halfway through a bowl and really got me in the zone to fully enjoy the video. If I ever...

    A Good Five Dollar Pipe Tool

    I still use the same $3 dollar Czech tool I got for free with my first pipe, though I do also have another tamper.

    Labels.

    I don't use them because my cellar only has five jars from as many blends, they all look distinct enough from each other that I can tell which is which. Calling what I have a cellar is generous of course, if I significantly expand it then I'll probably get some labels; duct tape and sharpie at...

    Cargo Hold in Washington State

    Thanks! Not so local though, it's an hour away lol Poulsbo is such a wonderful town in general. I would've loved to stay and chat with him longer and I'm sure he did too, but going during the festival is so busy. What tobaccos did you get there? I bought Plum Pudding, Orlik Golden Sliced, and...

    Hawai’i Ban on Shipping

    Wow that's pretty cheap and a single customer could easily make that profitable for them several times over. Most states will mail bans don't even have that option. It's like 95% in Washington even though cigars are capped at a sensible 65 cents a stick.

    What does the English "Smoke Free Target of 2030" Mean?

    Yeah Big Tobacco has been totally divested from pipe tobacco and cigars for decades, unless you lump Scandinavian Tobacco, Swedish Match, Altadis, and General Cigar in with them. Prince Albert was orignally an RJ Reynolds product and Revelation was from Philip Morris, but they shifted hands...

    This is a Bit Extreme.

    And now a lot of research has concluded that the risk is pretty much the same with smoking: no safe amount and even moderate amounts can cause cancer and other diseases. Will we start seeing plain packaging of alcohol or even graphic warning labels in our lifetimes? I doubt it, there simply...

    This Weekends Antique Mall Find.

    Great finds! Antique shops are an underrated place to hunt for estate pipes. Often you get solid smokers for much cheaper than online since those sorts of businesses often don't know how much a pipe can be worth.

    Buying Pipe Tobacco in SoCal

    A lot of smoke shops that mostly sell cigs and chew will have some codger pouches for sale. There's one near me that has Sir Walter Raleigh, Half & Half, Super Value, Smoker's Pride Captain Black, and Borkum Riff. The first two are in my regular rotation. Head shops often do as well.

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2023?***

    I've been to busy to be online much, but on the 4th I had a mix of SWR and Half & Half in my MM general. Figured something as American as a cob was perfect for the holiday and codgers really do go great in them. It was nice relaxing in my driveway watching for neighbor's fireworks.

    Cargo Hold in Washington State

    I absolutely will, I might not be able to until next year's Viking Fest but that's fine since the amount I bought will probably be enough for me until then.

    Tobac-cologne

    I shave with Pre de Provence shaving soap and aftershave, both have tobacco flowers as part of the fragrance. I often get compliments on it
