    Virginia Maryland One Sucker with Perique in a CAO bent brandy meerschaum. It used to be nice tobacco would show up the coffee I was drinking, now the coffee I've roasted myself shows all the rough notes in the blend I have in the pipe. For the first time I'm going to try to remove bite marks...

    Well, here I am, sitting in the same bench where I had my first smoke, a month shy of fourteen years ago. It's downtown, right on the water. Smoking my freshly opened tin of Pipe Force Episode IV in an Altinay Dublin meerschaum. In one view, you can see the arena where the Portland police used...

    Be careful, it takes a while to roast with a Zippo 😀

    Virginia Maryland One Sucker in a Bacchus meerschaum. I like working with meerschaum. The last section of the shank next to the stem came unglued while I was cleaning it, and I took an old tenon and threaded it into both sides, and secured the shank again. Now it's six pieces of meerschaum and a...

    I took out the spoon on the shank and I'm going to fill the bottom with pipe mud, when I've smoked enough Toscano originale cigars to get the ash. I love the stem you made, very comfortable looking.

    Yes, that much flake smoked for over two hours! It's the juiciest kake I've made, black and sticky.

    I'd be happy to get that information to you. We got those plants as transplants through a 4H club my sister runs. I have to ask her to get the seed source and how he initially grew them. Currently I'm looking at four to six foot tall plants with entirely green leaves, but I hope to harvest the...

    First, I'm smoking Word of Mouth in a Charatan's Make 4420DC billiard. I'll get the right ingredients for Urban Cowboy tomorrow. This is just kind of beefed up black cavendish, but there's something to be said for that. I ordered a few pipe carving kits today, but two of them are morta and one...

    Orinoco homegrown in an Altinay Dublin meerschaum. It tastes most like a Gawith and Hogarth Virginia to me.

    I primed some leaves from our tobacco plants a week ago, and decided to smoke some of them yesterday, but shredded and cased them and forgot about them. Today I'm smoking it in a MM cob, and it's great! No overpowering notes, it just tastes like Virginia bright. I can't wait to try the Russian...

    A VaPer named Bob's 74th after the guy who made the recipe, in a Georg Jensen Gigant. The pipe rack is good and back in function, it's just like any other pipe rack. However I did a study in leather dyes on the first thing I made with my Dremel tool, a tamper holder that now fits on my work...
