I do love trigger time. 8)

I did Piet! Why wait? Just received my order confirmation from 4noggins. Of course I had to Add enough tobacco to get the free shipping right? Got a tin of Escudo and a sample of Sugar Barrel to try on the way with the Pete. Now I wait. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for all the info! Donegal XL02 it is.

http://www.4noggins.com/PetersonDonegalRockyXL02Fishtail.aspx I like this one too with the silver band.

Well I have mostly all Grabows now, and smoke them without filters. The Sav has the filter deal but it comes with the converter. hmmm. Thanks for your input, keep em coming.

OK, I worked for the last 3 weeks and assuming have a little cash left after getting Christmas taken care of for the kids & old lady, I'm looking at getting a piece of briar. I'm liking my Omega and despite the bent shape it is my best smoker and I like the way it hangs so I'm looking at full...

What they (and Xeno) said. Evan Williams is GREAT for the price. Simple but like the man said "it's cheap and tastes great" VERY smooth. The ABC here sometimes has killer specials on half gallon jugs around Christmas. The Jim Beam stuff isn't bad. When I'm feeling rich I prefer Maker's Mark...

Been getting my technique down. Just had a great smoke. PA Choice Blend in my Grabow Omega. Lit easy. Burned down so cool. Got almost all the way down the bowl tamping as I went and it was sweet and nutty and pleasant the whole way, LIKE CANDY! It seems to me with PA if you don't get it warm...

PA Choice Blend in an old Grabow Omega w/ Budweiser. Smokes great, tastes like CANDY!

Thanks for all the advice. Smoking is much improved. I was packing the bowl a little too loosely and not tamping enough. Still have to relight some at the bottom third of the bowl (to keep it lit all around) but it at least it burns most all of the tobacco now.

Thanks brothers! 8)

LOL! No, not this time. :face:

Enjoying a bowl of C&D Burley Flake #2 on the porch (in my old yet not quite broken in Grabow Golden Duke) in with a cold Budweiser. Got a new gig this week (haven't worked since April). It's a contract deal so no bennies or anything like that. It's temporary, but possibly a lot of very...

HOOWAAH!!!

What he said. I also was only tamping twice maybe three times a bowl under the (apparently mistaken) assumption that the less I messed in it the better off it would be. Thanks!

I can get it lit all the way around just gets smaller as it burns down I guess. I'll work on packing and tamping techniques. Thanks everyone for all the info.

Thanks. I'll work on it. 8)
