  1. Butter Side Down

    Boswell Northwoods

    I like it a lot. It reminds me of the original Frog Morton which was the first pipe tobacco I ever lit up. I think a lot of people under rate it because it's a crossover blend and they think of that genre as something that you're supposed to mature out of. And maybe that's true for them. But...

    My First Commissioned Pipe (Abe Herbaugh)

    Abe is a cool guy and he makes a nice pipe. That one turned out really well!

    Cabbie's Mixture in this kit pipe from the pipe makers workshop at the Chicago show.

    I only discovered Uhle's 00 recently, but it has rocketed to the top for me. So good.

    Dedicated Pipe for Latakia?

    Given time, you'll be amazed at the variety and quantity of reasons you'll find yourself coming up with.

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

    Cabbies Mixture in a cute little bamboo brandy by Mike Sebastian Bay. Both came from The Danish Pipe Shop during my recent trip to Copenhagen. Everything mentioned above heartily endorsed and enthusiastically recommended.

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

    Man. Rough times. Sympathy and best hopes from over here. I've been there too. Probably a lot of people who've had dogs have been there as well. A few years ago, after a spring thaw in Chicago, my dog was nosing around in a shrinking snowbank and he came out with a squirrel carcass that had...

    Aging and Pricing Thoughts

    I asked the same question of a few guys who seem to sell a fair amount of stuff on here before posting some lots and got pretty uniform answers. Basically, except in a few cases, most people don't seem to be paying much if anything extra for aging. My experiences with trying to sell the few...

    Balkan vs English

    Marketing. Just kidding. But also sorta not. I think the generally accepted explanation is that the oriental leaf is more forward in a Balkan blend than it is in an English. Which I have found to be true for the most part. But if you expect that to always be true, you're going to be...

    WTB: Germain's Plum Cake (03/28/20204)

    There's one on tinbids rn. Not mine. https://tinbids.com/auction/46478/

    Arangos Balkan Supreme??

    I think it's worth trying. Can't really say if it's a match for any long lost blends but I don't much care. I like it for what it is... a simple, reliable Latakia blend. It's maybe a little spicier than some of the others due to a little perique which you'll either like or hate. I normally hate...

    Hello From New Mexico

    Welcome from a former Burqueño currently living in Chicago.

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

    Looking forward to this one! It's next up for me in my "Oh wait. Maybe I do like burley after all..." world apology tour. It'll be next up after I finish off Uhle's 00 or Amphora Burley blend whichever comes first (between you and me, the smart money is on Uhle).

    Just reaching the end of a nice, deep bowl of Reiner Long Golden Flake in this new (to me) Pete Milverton.

  19. Butter Side Down

    Sampled a New Scotch Last Night.

    That's a good one! Especially for the price. It's a lowland. Not many of the original lowland distilleries left anymore. Auchentoshan and Glenkinchie are the only two I've ever seen on the shelves here in the states. Lowlands are usually un-peated, so very mild and smooth but still quite...

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

    Been looking for a dark smooth Milverton for a while now. This estate showed up on SP Monday and I snapped it up. It just arrived, and only ten minutes later, it's already been pressed into service. Old Dark Fired is pleasantly masking the faint ghost of what I believe might be Frog Morton (?).
