    How are guys scratching that McClellands itch?

    The irony is that I took to Blackwood's flake during the great FVF shortage of 2010. Then it quickly became a staple in my rotation. Now with McClelland's having left the market I find myself at a bit of a loss. Don't get me wrong, I've got plenty stocked away for those rainy days. I was just...

    The miracles of modern technology

    I just finished a settlement conference in front of a judge of the Superior Court of New Jersey while wearing a shirt and tie, blazer and pajama pants. Now I'm reflecting on the wonders of modern technology with some GLP Sextant in a little Costello Lovet.

    How was your weather today?

    Pouring rain most of the day. Sun finally came out and it's quite pretty right now but very chilly.

    What Quarantine Activities Are You Doing?

    The lawn gnome keeps calling over. I keep picking him up.

    Workshop window fan installed!

    That a double hung window? Might get better ventilation if you put the fan up top.

    I hate Spring mowing!

    You boys must be doing it wrong. I love taking care of my lawn. Even treated myself to a brand new John Deere rider last mother's day.

    What Are You Reading?

    Actually read it a few months ago, but it's aptly appropriate to our current situation. Arthur Herman's Freedoms Forge, about how US industry ramped up during WWII. My favorite anecdote is from a VP of a prominent New York bank who had volunteered for an open position in the government...

    I'm still alive, I swear!

    Well howdy folks. It's sure been a while. Lots has happened, layoffs, a new house, new jobs, promotions, and the kids keep growing up. This current forced hiatus from life has actually proven to be a bit of a blessing in disguise because it has forced life to slow down just a little bit. So as...

    Need Opinions/Info on 4th Generation

    I really want this brand to succeed. It's Erik's own brand after parting ways with the Peter Stokkebye brand. Erik is just such a damn good dude and the Stokkebye history in tobacco is worth preserving. The thing is the current offerings just are all that spectacular. They aren't bad by any...

    Any Cord Cutters?

    It's been nearly a year since I started this thread. I did take the plunge...sort of. Fios let me drop my plan to internet and local TV, this allowed me access to HBO which they through in for free. We don't watch the HBO channels, but we do use HBO Go on Roku and Amazon Fire. So far I have no...

    Squadron Leader Brick???

    SG blends to tend to run wet, not dry, but of all of them, Squadron Leader is probably the driest (that I have encountered at least). And yes, they are wrapped in folded wax paper, no plastic wrap. I smoke a lot of SG, mostly FVF and Navy Flake, but I do enjoy Squadron Leader from time to...

    The Official Gawith & Hoggarth Thread

    I'm a big fan of Balkan Mixture, is it worth tracking down the flake?

    Humidor suggestions?

    Ha! I said something like that...now I'm in danger of outgrowing my second cooler...

    Drew Estate MUWAT Kentucky Fire Cured

    I'll admit to liking the Liga Privada lines, but there hasn't been much else from Drew that really does anything for me. I tried the first MUWAT when it came out way back when, as well as the Undercrown, and neither really impressed me. As for the KFC - I prefer that my pipe world and my cigar...

    The Official Gawith & Hoggarth Thread

    This is the first I have ever heard of it. I'd definitely give it a try if I ever came across it though. Sounds right up might alley.

    Neill Archer Roan - Passion for Pipes ????

    He mentioned a while back, maybe quite a while now, that work had really been picking up for him and he did not have as much time to devote to the website as he wished.

    What are you smokin'?

    My 16 year old Colibri torch finally quit on my. I picked one of the cheap Ronson's that everyone loves and broke it in on a 7 year old Mag46.
