    SP Sale Cobblestone Blends

    Nice, I picked up two tins of each of the Chess blends and 1 of each of the plugs. I’ll follow up with thoughts once I smoke a couple of them.

    SP Sale Cobblestone Blends

    Smokingpipes is running a 15% off sale on these blends, but I don’t recall hearing much about them. Does anyone have experience with them and any particular recommendations?

    Iwan Ries - Three Star Blue

    I'm not personally a big Three-Star Blue fan, though my father loves it and I pick it up for him pretty regularly. I'm much more partial to their Old Colonial, which has similar base components, but for me behaves better, and has a better more-nuanced flavor.

    Your Own Secret Blend?!?!?

    My recent blend is some D&R Vengeur...about 4 oz., a flake or two of Newminster 400 and about 3 bowls worth of Bosun Cut Plug. The end result is a lovely mix of flavors and nuance with a medium nic hit. It’s got a bit of everything going for it.

    J. Everett Pipe Commission

    I thought I'd post a quick thread about this new beauty I commissioned and received today. I asked for a sandblast Zulu as it was one of the few shapes I really liked, but didn't own. The communication throughout the process was top notch and the product is just awesome. As you can see I...

    What Cigar are You Smoking?

    Brick House Maduro Robusto...another one sitting in the humidor for probably a year-plus. I picked these up about a year back and thought they were generally so-so...well some age has changed everything and it was a thoroughly enjoyable smoke with some very nice charred cinnamon and espresso...

    What Cigar are You Smoking?

    Diesel Unholy Cocktail...this has been kicking around the humidor for about a year. I forgot I even had them as an add-on to another purchase. It started out a bit rough, but I actually was getting an interesting floral note in the last couple inches that made me like this stick a lot better...

    Tell Me About Your Grandfather

    My father is my pipe-smoking influence, and he's still chugging along and smoking. His father wasn't a smoker and he passed away just before I was born. My grandfather on my mother's side was a cigar smoking ex-combat engineer from WWII. He didn't pass until I was 16 and I always imagine him...

    Fast Five. Who Wants To Play?

    1. Steve Weiner Rusticated. First year anniversary present from my wife. 2. MacBaren Mixture Scottish. 3. Whisky- Talisker Scotch 4. Book-History mostly military, with music being a very close second 5. Anytime I get to share a pipe with my dad who is 77 years young and has been pipe...

    What's Your Favorite Brand(s)?

    I’d go with Mac Baren as the first, and probably Gawith in second. I’d rate Daughters & Ryan a close third before the sale...the vote is out since then.

    Daughters and Ryan Blend Availability

    I believe Picayune was on the list too...much to my dismay. :eek::cry:

    Recommendation: Scottish Mixtures

    I'd add Drucquer & Sons Blairgowrie to the mix, I wouldn't call it an all day smoke, but it's certainly a great one.

    Bad Experience With Pipes & Cigars (Lost My Cringle Flake)

    Congratulations on the new addition. With P&C I’ve had mixed results, almost all around packaging. An order earlier this year was just tins thrown in a box with a hole in the side covered by tape. I know they taped the hole because their packing label was over said tape. And to no one’s...

    Called D&R Today...

    Well, I step away for a week or two and this happens. It's all been said above, but this news sucks. I stocked about 20 lbs. of various D&R blends before this proverbial axe fell. Still, I had less Picayune (about 5 lbs.) than I'd have liked and I'm not at all happy with A.B. going away...

    Do You Believe In The Cake? Yes or No

    No. I'm with the warm water flush, paper towel crowd. I find my pipes smell sweeter by 1000% and I don't dread putting one in my mouth before the tobacco anymore. Prior to that opening my pipe cabinet was a blast in the face with old ash smell, and that's also now gone. So I see it as a...

    Is Pipe Tobacco Currently Threatened in USA?

    Living in an age of Zoom and other interactive web technologies, one would think the face-to-face definition could be largely worked-through. It's interesting that at the same time face-to-face is being proposed for tobacco sales, the alcohol sales laws are loosening and services for liquor...
