    What are you smoking?

    Irish Flake in a GBD New Standard bulldog, because I guess I like being queasy and dizzy before work :drunken:

    what pipe of yours smokes the best?

    My best smoker is a hand made W.O. Larsen straight grain that I picked up as an estate pipe a few years ago at a very reasonable price from Iwan Ries in Chicago. Coming in a close close second in a Savinelli Laguna series in the 111KS model (ie a large billiard), which oddly happened to be the...

    I've become a straight VA lover

    HOTW is great! When I started to take pipe smoking more seriously I was heavy into the latakia until I ordered a tin of HOTW based on the fact it had such good reviews on Tobacco Reviews, and did that stuff blow me away! From then on I've smoked VA based blends almost exclusively. Once you...

    Viking Classic

    I have a Bjarne Viking Classic that I guess would be described as not quite a full billiard but not short enough to qualify as a nosewarmer that I picked up about 5 years ago. I noticed it does whistle a bit when empty, but mine actually does smoke pretty well. It's certainly no Ashton but a...

    After a Sabbatical wondering the status of some old blends

    Thanks all for the updates! Luckily I have a pretty good stash of all this stuff, but good to know it's still available for future hoarding!

    What are you snuffing?

    F&T Santo Domingo, which is tied for first place for my favorite snuff with F&T Princes

    After a Sabbatical wondering the status of some old blends

    I had been a pretty constant pipe puffer for several years sometimes alternating between briar and cigars for months at a time but for whatever reason in early 2009 I put down the pipes for cigars until just recently, so I've lost track of a lot of what's been going on in the world of pipe...

    Item you should read

    I gave a glance to this bill (http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h1676/text), it's a little vague on whether it applies to pipe tobacco but we may as well assume it will (apparently not to Cigars, yet), though the text of the bill states it will apply to cigarettes (including RYO) and...

    Item you should read

    These people never stop! EVER! I signed the petition but this is something we need to be calling our Senators about!! And the Senators of states we don't live in too. They are voting on legislation that will affect the whole country, not just their state, they damn well better listen to all of...

    Why I smoke a pipe.

    Haha puros I know exactly what you mean! Of course on the railroad we have larger versions of glad hands, a "pipe nail" has come in handy several times replacing the gaskets. :cheers:

    Dangerous Times.

    As stated earlier there is no distinction between cigarettes, RYO, machine made cigars, premium cigars, snuff, chew, and pipe tobacco, it's all tobacco and it's all evil in the minds of statists like Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., and Matthew Myers the president of the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids...

    Deer vs Van round 2

    The deer back home in ND have become atrocious, though I think the past winter got rid of a few. Most of them have become so tame they just stand and watch the car go by, but then there's always a few runners! A few days ago I heard on the news here about a deer that killed himself in Viroqua...

    Been a long, long, long time! And about Mississippi?

    Thanks all for the tips! We'll see how it goes from here.

    Been a long, long, long time! And about Mississippi?

    I don't even know when I last posted anything to this list, but it had to be a heck of a long time ago!! I didn't help I pretty much abandoned the pipe most of the summer in favor of cigars, but I've cracked my one tine of Dunhill EMP to get me back into the pipe spirit, heck, been a long long...

    What We Look Like? Post Them Pix!

    With a Wolfgang Blazejewski horn. Good smoker, crazy to actually try and smoke though! Taken back in the day when you could still smoke in a West Fargo dive bar like this one, the Cattleman's. If I remember I was trying to cure a cold with Grain Belt and Old Gowrie
