Been out of state with a briar? Lets see some pics! Was in the Sierra Nevadas (Nevada and Kali) recently with a few of my favorite briars: Lets see what you got, lads!

Cheers!

Cheers!

I've just discovered a love of flakes and cakes. I'm burning my way through MacBs Scottish Blend and a pound of "Matured Cake" from my local 'bacconist. The Matured Cake is just lovely. Seems like a Danish blend. Anyone have any ideas on what "Matured Cake" could be?

Best blend from MacB in my humble opinion. Love it.

Just cracked the tin. Best Navy Rolls IMO. Smooth, not too moist. I love rolling it out myself. Perfect pipe, also. Cool smoke. Easy to light/keep lit. Hardly any ghosting from the Vanilla Flake previously smoked. Yay to rolls and flakes!

That was sooooooo needed today. So mellow, so smooth, so...easy to smoke.

When I started pipes in 2002ish, the local 'bac shop had a bulk red wine aro. Inquiring recently revealed that the maker has since gone out of business. Anyone familiar with a cool smoking, red wine aro? Or failing that, how one could make it?

Can someone point me to a more sophisticated tamper/reamer/poker tool than the Czech one? Looking to spend less than $100, but that can be bumped if something nice is out there. Thanks!

When I was a kid (at least physically, some might argue my maturity level...) my mom's parents lived next door to a man that smoked a pipe. I distinctly remember that smell, but have yet to be able to find the same room note. Was an aromatic. Had to be "low end" as he wasn't by any stretch well...

So I tried the Navy Flake mixture, soaking wet. I punted, tried Luxury Blend....was gurgling within minutes. Is this the pipe? It's a brand new Royal Irish, wiped the bowl with honey. I've not had this happen to me before, and I don't like it.

No bite, great blend. Details: Perfect moisture level IMO. Love rubbing out my 'bac. I love flakes. Not too sweet, not harsh like an English blend. Simple flavoring, creamy, not over done. The small tin is easy to carry around, as is the 999. I've taken to a "tripple light" rather tan the...

It likely isn't a secret I have a fetish for Petes, so I thought I'd mention some random thoughts and things now that I'm back into full pipe smoking swing after a decade off - Silver Spigots are a little smallish Army mounts are needed IMO on all pipes. I burned a bowl of Gold Blend in my SS...

Like the walnut finished Petes! And I'm really getting hooked on the 7 Seas. Just got in a couple sleeves of it. Cheers brothers!

and.......15lbs of Luxury Navy Flake for aging purposes!

What does each mean? The red vs black, the SR71, etc?

I love the Spigots and the Deluxes!

In the forum icon (the picture above), does the smoke from the two pipes look like a particular bird to anyone else here?

Is there a bulk version? Anyone age this stuff?
