    2014 3 Oaks Syrian Starting to Fade

    Pulled out a tin this week of my beloved Syrian latakia and the taste is starting to mellow considerably. If you have some in the cellar you may want to start smoking it before it fades more. Haven't checked my Vintage Syrian tins yet, being a different blender it may be more...

    According to Walmart maybe pipe smoking isn't dead

    Was in at the local Wally World and wife need some Bic lighters. As I scanned the lighters there were 3 brands of pipe lighter. Zippo with the pipe insert, some cheap piece of Chinese crap pipe lighter and a Ronson pipe lighter. I liked the look of the Ronson and picked one up for $8. So far...

    Just came across this on youtube The Sailor's Pleasure From the video: This curious object is a prick of tobacco. It is made of leaf tobacco, which was usually soaked in rum. After it was rolled up in canvas it was served or tied with tarred twine. This would compress it as solidly as...

    Internet Sales Tax Case at the US Supreme Court

    Oral arguments were this morning and the transcript is at: transcript A quick armchair quarterback take on this is nothing will change. It appears, in my opinion, the justices believe it is up to Congress to settle this issue. A lot of concern about overturning the Quill decision opening the...

    Distinguished Penguin + Captain Morgan = Drunken Penguin

    I picked up a couple of tins of Distinguished Penguin a few months ago. It is a very dry blend out of the tin; kind of a chopped course cut mix of virginia, latakia, and cavendish. It was an okay smoke but seemed to be missing something. I had some Captain Morgan sitting by my desk so I added...

    What Blend Have You Discovered This Year?

    With 2017 coming to an end; time for some reflection and sharing. What blend have you "discovered" that really sings to you. This could be a blend that is a new production or an old time blend that you first sampled this year. For me Hearth and Home El Nino is my winner. It's a tasty mix of...

    GLP Triple Play Fresh vs 5 Year Old

    Having the good fortune of picking up a 5 year old tin from Pipestud I thought I'd post some notes comparing it to fresh. Fresh: Definitely can taste the dark fire with the peppery perique that comes off a bit harsh. The virginias are in the back ground as a little hay like and not sweet...

    Pipestud is Awesome!

    Highly recommend purchasing from him. After all the discussions about poor packing technique of other sites, Pipestud's box arrive fast and was packed beautifully; could have drop kicked it and nothing would be damaged. One hiccup when a tin I wanted had been sold but he threw in a free tin of...
