    Greetings from Southern California!

    Okay! I'm off of work and I can look at my tobacco drawer to give you a more complete answer. Peter Stokkebye Pistaccio is another aeromatic I like. It's sweet and nutty. Peter Stokkebye 402 luxury twist flake is also a winner for me. I think that Lane Black Raspberry has a similar profile to...

    Greetings from Southern California!

    I have found myself gravitating towards cobs. I have three thus far and while the first 4-5 bowls of a new cob are inferior to a briar, I find once you get the sides throughly coated and permiated with ash and flavor, they can offer a really nice smoke. My rotation has quite a few, just like...

    Greetings from Southern California!

    The only blends among that list I own are Nightcap which I have not yet cracked open, Quiet Nights, and Blood Moon. I'm really trying to not buy any more for a time as I've already got enough for at least a year or two of smoking at my current rate but some of your favorites sound like blends...

    Greetings from Southern California!

    Hey, Manawydan, its great to have you here! We're a pretty friendly bunch. I've sure got parallels to you, 62 blends in my collection thus far. TAD is a fun problem to have! Do you have any favorites figured out yet?

    New pipe and 3 tobaccos… when to move on to the other 2?

    I have a pipe for aeromatics- or rather sweet tobaccos. I think the flavor accumulates over time into a sweeter flavor. In my other pipes, I'm not picky. Thats fantastic, David. It never occurred to me to use a coin to ream pipes. It'll be trivial to attach a coin to a rod to make a usable...

    Good morning once again BoB, The wedding I attended over the weekend was pretty great. Everyone present had a lot of fun and the bride and groom couldn't have been happier. Good times. On my walk to work today I'm smoking Granger in my MM cob.

    "Oi got better..." To my tongue, Half and Half has the flavor profile described by other users but I also get a rasin smell and taste. It's unlike a lot of other tobaccos and I sometimes find myself wanting a bowl of it. It's fine. I like SWR, PA, and Granger better as far as codgers are...

    Good morning and happy Tuesday! Today it's velvet in my MM cob. This is one of many tobaccos I have heard dozens of adds for as I listen to old time radio. Not nearly as many programs sponsored by velvet as radio sponsorship giants like Camel Cigarettes and Prince Albert but its fun to hear an...

    Good morning BoB. The workweek is back so I'm back here too. Today we have some great sunny weather here in central Oregon. Working 11 hour days so I can leave early Thursday morning for a wedding up in Washington. Smoking a bowl of Daughters & Ryan Three Sails. This Virginia is very...

    Good morning! Clear and sunny in central Oregon. A bowl of Three Star Blue in my cob. Green tea and tangerines for breakfast. Very excited for the weekend.

    Good morning friends, I wanted something sweet with my breakfast of hard boiled eggs and salt so I stuffed some Lane Very Cherry into my cob and went to work.

    @Ranger107 Praying it's all good news today Today it's a MM cob filled with MM country gentleman, smoked by an ex-city slicker. I usually smoke my tobacco more moist than this tobacco is. There was a slight crackle noise which I took to mean it's too dry. Smoked well though so I might have a...

    Good morning friends, This morning I had around one third of a bowl of Peterson EMP. The wind has died down a bit and it has become a bit warmer.

    Good on you, gotta keep the flag looking sharp. Suprisingly, it can be tough to find one made in America.

    Good morning and happy Monday, friends. On my walk this morning, I stayed basic and enjoyed around one third of a bowl of SWR Aromatic in my MM cob. It has once again become windy and chilly here in the high desert. Here's hoping summer returns and stays. Had a nice Father's day, bought beer...

    As Goldberg mentioned, for ease of cleaning mostly. The stem leaves space on the left and right that allows for tobacco to fall in that cannot be cleaned.

    Good evening friends, I went into the woods on a nice long walk, slung some rocks and broke in my new MM cob from which I will smoke exclusively aeromatics. I had a bowl of Sutliff Vanilla Custard Cream, my favorite vanilla tobacco. Really sweet. Before I lit up, I removed the portion of the...

    Corndogs are hotdog links that are put on a wooden stick to give it a handle, dipped in batter, and fried to make a crispy exterior. We usually eat them with ketchup and mustard. Kids love them.

    Orange scented candle hack

    I have a lot of hobbies that involve making things. Candles are one. The orange trick won't work too well because candles, being made of wax, and the olive oil candle trick here require oil soluble scents. The juicy inside of an orange is water based and doesn't really have any oil soluble...
