    McClelland collectors blends

    I have McClelland Syrian Full Balkan, I cant tell what is so full about it, or what is so Balkan about it, but its pretty good haha. Nothing extraordinary though. I also have 3 oaks original, and if three oaks Syrian is the same, but with syrian Lat instead of cyprian, i am sure it is good.

    New Nording Blowfish!

    Don't believe CA stereotypes, take LA and San Fransisco off the map and were just a bunch of would be gun toten farm town kids who arnt allowed to tote our guns. :P Ok, maybe were not all from farm towns, but were not all a bunch of hippies.

    New Nording Blowfish!

    PAD really hit me hard this month. I got a new Nording, I have been regretting selling my old Nording signature and I picked this up at a 25 percent off sale. Nice sized bowl, slight bend, and a little stubby, i have been digging that sort of shape for a while. While this one has the whimsical...

    I just tried Cornell & Diehl's Billy Budd

    I really liked billy budd too, not as strong as i was expecting to be honest, but plenty strong enough. I have been smoking it daily since i got my C&D sampler.

    New Calabash, Super Loose Stem. Please Help!!

    Well I got the pipe back a while ago and it is awesome, he fixed the stem perfectly some how. Since it has such a large open area, it seems a little harder to draw the flame down when lighting, but it smokes great. Totally different than a briar or a meer in my opinion.

    There may be hope for that basket pipe after all !!!

    The first real pipe I got was an Italian Basket pipe. Smoked a hell of a lot better than the head shop pipe i got first. I think i got pretty lucky on it, it has no big fills pretty birds eye and actually smokes almost as if not just as good as a lot of my mid range name brand pipes. and i think...

    First Cornell and Diehl order just arrived!!

    i have some tuggle hall too, not really a huge fan, the taste is alright to me, but it smells horrible to me. I tried out the rest of the blends. Pirate cake is awesome, extremely smooth tasting, and more complex than i expected. Billy budd was good, but a little harsh, and i actually tasted...

    First Cornell and Diehl order just arrived!!

    ya lately whatever i smoke has to have some latakiain it. I chose mostly some strong blends because thats what i tend to favor, but also got epiphany because i do like a few light englishes. Im trying epiphany out right now and im pretty dissapointed with it. Mountain Camp was great, but...

    A good wake up tobacco?

    I really like London Mix in the morning. I usually smoke a light to medium english in the morning. Today i had McClelland 3 Oaks with my coffee, but i don't think its the best morning smoke. Im smoking a bowl of Samuel Gawith Perfection right now, and it is pretty good in the morning. A light...

    New Calabash, Super Loose Stem. Please Help!!

    Ya it is a metal screw in fitting similar to that in meerschaum pipes. the two metal pieces wont join together, the stem just slips right out. Ya it may be amber, it is yellow orangeish, and it feels nothing like vulcanite in the mouth, and a kind of like lucite but not as hard, unless thats...

    New Calabash, Super Loose Stem. Please Help!!

    Hey guys, I have been away for a little while because I have been busy with other things, but i have kept those pipes smoking, got rid of a few to make room for more, including my most recent acquisition, a gourd calabash my b and m had been holding for me. It seems pretty old, but never smoked...

    Lighter vs. Matches Poll

    Well my vote is still for lighter but since my colibri just died I have been using matches more often. I still appreciate the simplicity of lighters but matches do seem to do a better job at lighting.
