    Prince Albert or Carter Hall?

    I'd like to present my favorite tobacco to this discussion: Granger. It just checks all the boxes for me when I want a tobacco in this vein. I think it's got everything PA has but it also has a fuller and thicker mouthfeel and a terrific note of plumy, raisiny goodness. Answering the question...

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

    One usually. Perhaps two bowls in a day once a week. I think most of my pipes have medium or even slightly smaller than average sized bowls. Good topic.

    @Ranger107 You have got a group of pipe smoking weirdos spread all over the world praying and wishing you good health!

    Cornell and Diehl, Irish Blessing

    @peter cornbriar Glad you found a winner. C&D seems like one of the most consistently popular blenders everywhere I look but I haven't tried any of their blends that have really grabbed hold of me yet. As far as aros go, I have found I really like a few by CS. Tombigee is great as is Parsons...

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

    I have several tins that won't be opened for years. I won't open them because I have got too many pint jars full of bulk blends. At the rate I smoke, I'll be smoking consistently for a near a decade before I can justify opening a tin... ...or I could just smoke more!

    Good morning to you all, The mornings are sure getting darker- less light, not metaphorically. I just got done enjoying a bowl of Scottys Honey and Chocolate in my dollar Sir Hubert. This pipe has a device inside of it that limits airflow. This is a great little feature for two reasons as far...

    Good morning BoB! I've missed posting here yesterday. Yesterday morning I smoked a bowl of CS Angry Cornishman in my mm cob. This morning is watch city Queequeg's blend, also in my cob. Now it's time to read everything I've missed here...

    I want to hear more more put downs of corncob pipes

    I don't think its a very big deal. It's the internet was invented so that people could talk with each other and put their foot in their mouths. Don't worry too much about it.

    Sewing bobbin holder for Falcon and screw in bowls.

    Hey, it works! I think this rack will stick to thread cones though.

    I want to hear more more put downs of corncob pipes

    Sorry, I like cobs. I can't afford nice briar so cobs are what I smoke 95% of the time.

    Good morning BoB! Work is going poorly. Our computers here are full of angry gremlins and it's become a hard impasse to getting any work done. Began the day with a bowl of The Country Squire's Delta Honeydew and now I'm sitting and sipping some fancy green tea.

    Good morning BoB, I've got a new(to me) pipe in which I had a bowl of Peterson EMP this morning. The seller said it's a Sir Hubert Blasted Prince. Due to some easily fixable bowl damage, I got it for only a dollar. I couldn't find anything about Sir Hubert pipes anywhere so I don't have any...

    Anyone ever used a food processor on their tobacco?

    I don't feel the need to use a grinder for my pipe tobacco but if you find it works well, why stop? ...def barbarian though.

    Good morning BoB, I had another bowl of the Frankenblend I spoke about in my last post. Almost done with it. Mm cob as always. Drinking roasted barley boiled into tea. No big news here, have a good Wednesday you all.

    Good morning you all, I've got a jar of Newminster Imperial Nougat thats very near empty. Last night, I thought it was another blend and I accidentally added around 20% H&H Berry Nice. This mistake wasn't berry nice and now I've got to smoke the results. In my mm cob, it's not terrible but...

    Good evening BoB, After a great dinner of barbecued chicken, potato salad, pickles, and broccoli at a camp site, I'm home enjoying a nightcap of G. L. Pease Quiet Nights in my Dr. Grabow Grand Duke. Good night.

    Sitting outside enjoying some Newminster Imperial Nougat in my mm cob. We've got a big beautiful blue sky here in Central Oregon today. As the winter approaches, we'll get months of uninterrupted clouds so I'm savoring this weather before it's gone. You all have a great Sunday.
