    SOTD: Shave of the day

    The WCS Campfire is way better than Williams. I want to love Williams, because it's cheap and smells good and seems really classic, but it is terrible. The WCS Campfire, to me, works best with a boar brush and face lather. That said, it honestly isn't as good as a lot of other soaps, later-wise...

    SOTD: Shave of the day

    I should have mentioned this in my previous post, but this one may be more what you're after. I honestly forgot I had it until after I posted, but it has a very nice smokiness to it. Reminds me of the part in Spaceship Earth (at EPCOT) when Rome is burning. West Coast Shaving Campfire...

    SOTD: Shave of the day

    I also tried a sample size of the Stirling Texas On Fire, and was also disappointed. I was looking for something much like you seem to be: a flannel shirt post-campfire is a good way to describe it. There's definitely a smokiness to it, but something else that I don't really care for. I've had...

    What are you smoking?

    Still trying to find a replacement for McClelland Three Cherries. Today I had Captain Black Cherry in a Stanwell Brushed Brown pot. The tobacco was pretty gross. The hunt continues...

    PSA: Frog Morton and Others In Stock at Smokingpipes.com

    Picked up 3 tins of Frog Morton. Not my favorite McC blend, but good enough for me to get some, even if it's just for nostalgia's sake. Plus, like I mentioned in another post, I like the art on the tin.

    Day of mourning

    I am definitely in. I don't think I have any Dunhill tins open right now, but I have some McC stuff jarred up.

    For the Love of Lakelands

    The only Lakeland blend that I genuinely like is Bosun Cut Plug from G&H. It ghosted my oldest pipe, so it is now dedicated to it. I understand how it may not be for everyone, however.

    What are you smoking?

    This morning, on my way to work, I had some 7 Seas Original in a Stanwell. I'm not a big fan of the 7 Seas, but I don't want it to go to waste. I've been looking for a new aromatic, since McClelland is closing up.

    Mac Baren’s Capstan Blue Navy Cut Flake

    I picked it up when it was first re-released because of the legend that it was the tobacco that J.R.R. Tolkien smoked. I ended up loving it and snagged a few tins. I'm glad I did, because now it's pretty expensive.

    Real Aussie Licorice

    I love good black licorice. It is in my top five of favorite candies. I usually prefer the Scandinavian brands. My current favorite:

    McClelland Going Out of Business

    I just got a pound of Three Cherries from this place: Payless Cigars and Pipes. I would've ordered more, but tomorrow is payday, and I couldn't risk it being sold out. I doubt it will be, but still... I've never ordered from them before, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Also, if...

    McClelland Going Out of Business

    This is very distressing news. One of the only aromatic tobaccos I like is McC's Three Cherries. Like a dope, I usually only order about 4oz at a time. I don't smoke it daily, but just as an occasional change/treat. It is out of stock everywhere. I've been trying other cherry blends, but they...

    What are you smoking?

    Found some Esoterica tins/bags at my local Tinder Box store, including Penzance. The first time I've smoked Penzance guilt-free. I also opened a tin of 7 Seas Original, and I'm not a big fan, to be honest.

    What are you smoking?

    C&D Bayou Morning Flake in an old basket pipe.

    Need some help with some aromatic tobacco to order

    The absolute best chocolate aro I've ever tried is McClelland's Tastemaster. McClelland's Three Cherry blend is the best cherry I've ever had. For an all-around aro, I would say that Milonga is the best. To me, Boswell's best aros are PA Dutch Treat, Piper's Pleasure, and Bear Blend.

    beard oil

    You can just use Jojoba Oil. I grow a beard out about twice a year, and use a lot of different products on it because I think it's fun. Instead of the expensive beard oils, you can just get some jojoba oil. I squirt a few drops into my palm, then scrub my brush into the oil, and brush into the...
