    A Pipe Tobacco Song

    It's been awhile since I've posted anything, and some time ago I posted a link to my musical project, The Codger Burleys Reverbnation site. What started out as a home recording project has now become a full blown roots rock band. I recently wrote a new pipe tobacco related tune called St. James...

    Has Borkum Riff Changed ?

    I know that their tobaccos are usually the scourge of a lot of the people on this forum, myself included. But I got a coupon in the mail to get a pouch for a $1.00, so I went for it. I got the Bourbon blend, and I'm actually rather enjoying in, and it even looks different from what I remember...

    BCA, Forgot How Good It Really Is....

    Just returned from my local B&M with a bag of BCA. I hadn't bought any in about a year, and forgot exactly how good it is.though I had been craving some for weeks. It's one of the few aromatics I like, along with 1Q. As the weather gets cold and I'm mainly smoking in the living room, I do a few...

    I Know We Have A Few Fellow Musicians Here

    I'd be interested in hearing the music that my fellow pipe smokers make. Here's a link to recordings of some of my recent original tunes. Recently I put together a three piece band to play this material live, but I did all instruments and vocals on these home studio recordings myself ...

    Half And Half, First Time

    I have tried many of the OTCs over the years, but never H&H. Gave it a go for the first time tonight. sure blows away PA IMO. Can really taste the VA (aka Bright) in this one. In fact I enjoyed it more than some VA flake blends I've tried. Just wondering who else shares the love of this American...

    Anti-smoking Nazis Invade Rental DVDs

    Tonight my wife rented some movies from Red Box. One of the DVDs started with this anti commercial which you could not fast forward through. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuh2w2sFRMI So now they are forcing us to watch their propaganda before we can watch a movie. A separate note: I was in...

    C&D Epiphany and Yale Mixture

    I just recently picked up some Epiphany and Yale Mixture on a weekend trip to Charlottesville. I'm thoroughly enjoying both. Just wondering, if any of you have tried these two blends, which one you prefer and why. They are both very different, yet satisfying in their own way to me.

    No Sailor Abandons Ship Without His Pipe

    Just thought I'd share this article about the "Ghost Ship" The Mary Celeste. Very strange. http://www.slate.com/articles/life/culturebox/2011/12/the_mary_celeste_the_unluckiest_ship_to_ever_sail_the_seven_seas_.html

    Weird Experiences Buying OTC Blends

    Every couple of months I need to get my Prince Albert fix. My local tobacconist doesn't stock any OTC blends, so that means asking for it at the drug store counter or going to one of those "Tobacco Depot" stores. Well I've had a few weird experiences buying tobacco in these places lately. In one...

    Charlottesville, VA Tobacconists ?

    In a couple weeks I'm heading down to Charlottesville, VA for the weekend. I'll have some time to kill on a Saturday, pretty much the whole day, while my wife is attending a class at UVA. Is there anybody here that can recommend a tobacconist in the area where I could hang out, try some blends...

    Try This Blend-Very Nice

    Two nights ago I did a little home blending and came up with something I'm REALLY enjoying. If you have the components on hand you might want to give this a try. I liked it so much, I made enough tonight for about 4 more bowls. This is the ratio for a single bowl 1 pinch of Prince Albert 1...

    Ozark Hardwood Pipes From Missouri Meerschaum

    Has anyone tried one of these ? What is the quality of the smoke in comparison to say, a cob, a briar ? I was considerring picking one up. They are SO cheap.

    Back To The Cob

    i've never owned ant really high end pipes, probably the most expensive ($50 range in the mid 90's) I've ever owned is an Italian made pipe that is stamped with the name of my local tobacconist chain (Fader's-if anyone knows which Italian maker made "their" pipes in the mid to late 90's, please...

    Prince Albert Hiccups?

    When I smoke PA, and get near the end of the bowl, I often get the hiccups. Does this happen to anyone else, or am I the only weirdo that this happens to ?

    Aromatics For The Winter

    I got back into the pipe this Summer after about a dozen year abscnce, and now I'm mainly into English and VA blends, with the odd aromatic for variety here and there. With the cold weather approaching, the windows won't be open, and I'm afraid of the non-aromatics stinking the house too bad...

    New Home Blend

    Hey, I had a little brainstorm the other day and the experiment turned out nicely. I mixed equal parts Prince Albert, Carter Hall, and an English blend from my local tobacconist. I call this concoction Royal Albert Hall. Very nice, give it a shot, let me know what you think. It tastes like the...
