    What is Your Favorite International Dish?

    The first thing that came to mind was Cabbage Rolls. AKA: Golabki in Poland, Then I realized that everything I eat is international except for corn on the cob?

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

    Match Sunrise, which is Sutliff's match for EMP in my MM Morgan 2nd. If I keep seeing all these damned adorable cat pics from Jim, I'm going to have to adopt some of the ferals outside my house. There are several here that have been kept alive by the local aviary and squirrel population that I...

    Tell Me About Your Love of a Dog

    I do love dogs. I've had several in the course of a lifetime. I'm 76 this month! I don't feel able to keep up with the responsibility of a dog. I am always having to go to see one or another darned medical professional and at my age you never know. I've had some issues in the past couple of...

    How Much is Too Much?

    In the beginning, I fought tounge bite ferociously. I had been retired for about a year before I picked up a cob at the drugstore. I experimented with some of the drugstore tobacco including Captain Black White, and some Blender's Gold offerings, but it wasn't until I found this forum that I...

    New Piper and First Pipe

    When I started I knew nothing. I read about flaked tobacco here and how beginners had a tough time with it. I had to try. Glad I did. You can process or rub out, cube cut, or just fold and stuff a roughed up flake or two. You'll find yourself relighting more often than with ribbons and chunks...

    I went out with a pipeful of Match 759 and walked for about a mile or so. Using my Octo billiard.Here's a shot of some stuff. None of the containers hold their original contents.

    Tobacco Sampler Selection?

    Yes, of course I meant Matches 860. I must have glitched.

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

    Match? Barking Dog / a burley/lat/VA in my MM Morgan 2nd. This is an 'all day' smoke with smoothness, flavor, and enough nicotine.

    Inherited Collection of (mostly) Meerschaum

    One man's junk. I see one or two smokable pipes there. The rest are interesting objects d'art.

    Advice for this pipe?

    If I had it, I'd play around with some sandpaper on that bottom. I like unfinished briar because I feel as if it might breathe better, stay cooler, and develop its patina.

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

    Match 965 in my Bretton Hall Tankard w/saddle stem. I walked about a mile with it, and took about 1/2 hour outside in the rising heat.

    Pipes and Cigars Online Store. Never Again.

    I love some of Russ's blends. We had a tobacco crawl with some of his stuff and it was really top notch. The best of the 4 we tried, and it was a fairly close call, was Firestorm. Capitalism can be cancerous.

    Look What I Found…

    The 'thing' about aged tobacco is that it seems to be wonderful for just a few hours. After that, it becomes regular old tobacco.

    Keeping an Open Mind

    I've reused old cellophane tobacco pouches to carry my bulks. I had a box of five brothers pouched tobacco and I saved some for the purpose. I once had 5 living brothers. I'm the oldest. 3 have gone before me.

    Keeping an Open Mind

    Keeping an Open Mind: Re-examining Latakia and Aromatic tobacco blends. I had discontinued most of my aromatic and Latakia explorations and been focused on non aromatic bulk tobacco featuring VA, Burley, and Perique. I ordered some Sutliff and Match blends on a whim prompted by my diminishing...

    Tobacco Sampler Selection?

    When I first started reading these forums there were a few blends that were more repeatedly mentioned as 'must try' or exquisitely divine, or this is the strongest. Penzance Nightcap Escudo Stonehaven HH Old Dark Fired On youtube, I'd watch guys who regularly posted their favorites: Haunted...
