    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    Following and capping off a late lunch, I'm having my next to last bowl of 2022 C&D Carolina Red Flake in a smoky MM General with forever stem. Drinking Barry's Irish tea with extra honey and some milk on a 57F day outside in my wool sweater. One thing I like about cobs is their ruggedness...

    Burma Rifles

    That's a nice brick and the press is impressive. I got a similar result, though less dense, with an empty vegetable can, some big washers, and a c-clamp. I like plugs, so may graduate to a better method.

    Warped Until the End in a Savinelli Trevi 320EX. This is good stuff but definitely different. I did sort of think I was smoking a cigar just once.

C&D Steamworks 2024 in a Briarworks C91 crimson blast with acrylic amber stem with smoke rolling out. Plain ole tap water to drink. Did anyone...

    The fickle nature of taste or: How do I get all of my mason jars back?

    I have a similar problem, and began mixing at about 25% the tobaccos that are not much enjoyed. I came with some favorite blends and named them for fun. One blend used like this is GLP Jackknife Plug. I usually like his blends, but this one is best to me to add strength and heavier taste to some...

    Ok, survey: How many bowls do you smoke in a day?

    Depends on the day and week and location. I can usually get in one plus per day. It's important to me about the "setting", as I don't want to be rushed because that is part of the benefit.

    Vintage Pipe Tobacco Packages

    I was in an antique store today, and saw these old tobacco packages some of which might have been full. There are some familiar and to me obscure brands. Maybe some of you guys will recognize them, especially @JimInks . Check out the Five Brothers one.

    That seems to be my timing, as I order from SP, then they have a good additional sale.

    Just found my Pete 302 with DGT of Steamworks in it. It's smoking, but think I'll top it off with something.

    I've had a bit of a slow down on my bowls. I decided to make my own wood stain from tung oil, pine tar, and turpentine, and use it on a building. This is it on tulip poplar wood siding with my MM General on top of a piece of the unstained lumber. So far, I like it. Tung oil is supposed to be...

    Had a long hectic day yesterday, so getting caught up by having a bowl of 2022 C&D Carolina Red Flake in a Digby prince shape with JFG Gourmet blend coffee. I hope any BoBs in hurricane affected areas are safe and sound. Our prayers go out to those citizens in the affected states. This kind of...
