    What kind of tobacco you add to make the Urban Cowboy? I'm liking the Cowboy Coffee. Urban Cowboy is a cool name, it's one of my favorite movies!

    Cool, I'm glad I saw this! I just received my order from the CS yesterday. I got Cowboy Coffee and Hunting Creek. Last night I smoked a bowl of the Hunting Creek, it's great! Glad I bought a half pound. Now my question is, how is the Cowboy Coffee? I'm at work now and I'm going to burn a bowl...

    Old Mixture 79

    Ranger I had the same issue. But I really liked the taste and enjoyed the aroma. Somebody told me to try the bulk version because it's less sauced and they were right. I also used a Savinelli with a 6mm charcoal filter and it was like night and day. Smooth, no bite and very enjoyable. Now I just...

    I really like that pipe Jim. The grain, the shine and the black stem. It's so plain but then it's not. I like medium billiards and apple shape pipes.

    That's a great tobacco. I usually get two tins and jar them right away. The more it sets the better it gets!

    I'm currently enjoying a nice bowl of Cornell And Diehl Winchester in a 2019 Kaywoodie Standard medium billiard.

    How is that blend Jim? I was looking into getting some. I looked up his tobacco a couple years ago as I am a Cronkite fan. I love the image of him with his Peterson Lumberman P-lip standing in front of his desk.

    Tell us your country's Slang you use.

    I guess the one I use is when you are going to do something we say "we are fixin' to this or that."

    It's a shame that I can't enjoy MacBaren blends. The only one that I can smoke without blister making tongue bite is London Burley Blend. I want to try Golden Extra because from the reviews it sounds right up my alley, but I'm scared that it will rip my mouth up. I really liked Dark Twist, the...

    I'm finishing up a bowl of Wessex Burley slice in my Duncan Dental billiard whole drinking Chock Full of Nuts coffee.

    I absolutely love Watch City Deluxe Crumb Cut. When I want something other than Pegasus or Winchester I reach for Deluxe Crumb Cut. It has the perfect amount of Latakia for me which is a whisper. Do you like Boswell's Premium Burley Jim?

    I'm finishing up a bowl of Heine's Blend in a Rossi Rubino 8626 with a Savinelli 6mm charcoal filter. This tobacco is aging beautifully, even in its original tub. It's a perfect "watching T.V." tobacco. Just light it and small puffs, it turns into a smoldering stone in the pipe. My son is...

    Hello from the UK!

    I myself did that. I tried pipe smoking briefly in the mid 1990s. There was no internet and not a lot of information about it back then. It was mostly something that was passed down or self taught. It did not go well. Severe tongue bite and it didn't taste good at all. Of course the only...

    I think LL-7 is an underrated tobacco. I was a big fan of Captain Black Copper and when Lane Limited stopped making that and the grape I was too late with stocking up on it. I have a case of assorted CB tobaccos in the 12oz tubs. So I was a little disappointed I didn't get any Copper tubs and a...

    Yes Sir. I too can not enjoy a pipe without the softy bit. One of the reasons I don't like the Peterson P-Lip. The only pipe that feels weird with a softy bit is my old Dr. Grabow Omega. That strange button on the stem is uncomfortable in my mouth. It's a shame because I really like the pipe...

    Most of my pipes are estates so I think that's why I like vulcanite. But, I use softy bits too, lol. Every single one of my pipes, even my cobs have a softy bit. I buy the "Softy Bit" brand now because they are cheaper by the dozen.

    I love Condor. It really stinks we can't get it in the states unless we pay a huge price from Spain or Ireland. A friend of mine is from England and her mom comes every other Christmas to Pennsylvania. I'm always bugging her to bring me a few pouches every time she comes. Next time I'm going to...

    You could always get a nice Vulcanite stem for that.

    Jim, what do you clean your acrylic stems with? I mostly have vulcanite and ebanite stems, but I do have a few plastic ones that are on new Savinelli's. I use Clean and Cure, but I believe that has alcohol too.

    I was in a bad car accident in 2011. My spine was injured and I ended up with permanent nerve damage. There are times when I feel like there is a blow torch on my legs and a knife ripping in the back of my right thigh. I was on opioid pain meds for a long time. I told my doctor I wanted off of...
