    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    I always feel guilty, even though I haven't done anything... When you've been eating steak for every meal, a plate of beans can taste pretty good.

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    Right now I'm smoking a Savinelli with a balsa insert. It's filled with a 50/50 mix of Smoker's Pride Natural and Vanilla Cavendish. I know, I know, I should be ashamed of myself.

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    Ok, right now I happen to be smoking a '70s Caminetto business in kind of a half bent Dublin shape. She's loaded with Skokkebye English Oriental Supreme.

    A few random shots of my smoking den. What does yours look like?

    Thanks! A little story... The large poster on the right was made to go on the side of bus stop shelters in New York. I was in the city and saw one so I went to the Port Authority and was able to talk them into giving me a copy. At the same time Jeremy Brett was in town doing a play, so I got...

    New Castello

    In case you wondered, my avatar came from a painting by artist Jim Warren from 1974.

    New Castello

    I'm glad I already own all the Castellos I'll ever need. They are my favorite since 1963, but at the current prices they're too rich for me.

    Massive pipe tobacco and cigar tax increases

    " Typically poor." Oh, you mean like those guys who smoke Dunhills and Castellos?

    Massive pipe tobacco and cigar tax increases

    This kind of tax is commonly called a "sin tax", such as the tax on alcoholic beverages. If they want another sin tax I would suggest a tax on bottled water and a deposit on all those plastic bottles filling the garbage dumps and oceans. Leave my pipe tobacco alone!

    Pod Coffee.

    When she's in a hurry my wife will use Nescafe too. But she will only use it if it's imported from Mexico. A gourmet of instant coffee, that has to be a new one!

    Castello time

    Wouldn't know because it's unsmoked.... it's been hard to resist. But based on others I made I would say it would do pretty good. I used high quality Italian briar and the best lucite stem blank.

    Pod Coffee.

    for what it's worth, we don't use a pod machine any more, but when we did the best pods we ever found was "Columbian Supremo" from Sams Club.

    My lucky day!

    You would think, but no. He just decided to be an aromatic smoker. (go figure!) I've only tried 2 so far, the Astley's, which I didn't care for much, but when I mixed it 50-50 with some Skokkebye English Oriental Supreme, it made a pretty good smoke. So no loss there. The other one (I'm...

    My lucky day!

    Seem to remember it was called somebody's list. It was a local ad, only 10 minutes from my house, so I was over there quicker than a bunny to pick it up. Got 5 tins of each of these...
