Lane bulk nougat in a grabow savoy with some highland single malt (cheap no name, save the good stuff for the weekend) On a side note, I picked up some dunhill nightcap the other day. I had no reason to get it other than I've seen a number of you guys posting in this thread that you are smoking...

My selection of tins around here is slim but hopefully will be better tomorrow with a visit to a new store

Second bowl of va butternut rum in my basket billiard accompanied by my 6th 3 finger glass of crown royal whiskey. Happy Saturday night brothers!

Moving on from the pipe to a cigar to finish the evening off. Churchill Gurkha spec ops. Gonna be a good 2-3 hour slow smoke.

Next is sutliff taste of summer in a basket billiard. Not lit yet but aroma from tin tells me its a bit peachy.

Picked up some of the only tin tobacco my local taccaconist carries, my first tins. Starting with sutliff Balkan luxury in a grabow savoy.

Funny you mention that, I'm sitting in smoking den enjoying some coffee and a morning smoke and I just sent her a couple links on ebay. One was a dunhill at 450, and the other two were around 120, a Peterson 314 and a hca smooth. I dunno why but I love the hca line that can be changed to a...

She is in for a ride. I told her the other day that I'm itching to get a Peterson and might pick one up if I find one I like when we go on vacation in may, and she responded that I've lost my mind if I spend over 100 bucks on a pipe. Methinks she envisions pipemaking as trimming down a 2x4 and...

I don't have the record keeping that you guys do nor the lengthy history, but in my few months since revisiting this hobby I'm at around 2-3 oz per week. Depending on which pipe I'm smoking it comes out to 2-4 bowls per day. Most of it is lane bulks with the occasional tin. Its not that I don't...

Picked up some bulk butternut rum Virginia today while stopping to get pipe cleaners. I've never managed to walk out with just what I came for... on my second bowl now in my Italian basket pipe aka "the beater"

Started the day out with some bulk crown royal in my noname basket pipe, then some black Cavendish in the same pipe, finishing off with a bowl of Peterson Irish whiskey in a grabow Savoy smooth.

Believe it or not the cigar boxes came about because of my wife. She likes them so it became a reason to go to tobacco shops. Then when we bought the house hanging them on the wall down there was her idea and it gives her something to add to the room so that she can enjoy it as well. So now if...

Whiskey burley in my grabow savoy

To date my favorite is the black dragon. Not too picky about size but I do prefer a larger ring gauge.

That's a great analogy. I had never thought of packing that way. I gave it a shot with my basket pipe on the way to lunch and I'll be damned if it didn't smoke cool and draw a lot easier. Maybe that pipe isn't such a turd after all! Thanks for the tips.

The partagas black is a good smoke. It was the first cigar I ever had so its always been a bit of a special one. Unfortunately this one was a torpedo. I tend to go for the big ring sticks but I got a killer deal on some torpedoes from a store that was going out of business. I'll be changing...

I've had two or three and my impression was that they were unusually sweet. Not necessarily bad, just not my style.

Partagas black maduro and a three finger glass (this is actually my third) of macallan 12.

I've been lurking on this forum for a while and finally joined up. My name is Justin and I discovered when I was 18 that I liked tobacco. It wasn't a pipe of course, it was the usual around here. Marlboro reds. That turned into camels and finally into Newport's (I know..... shame..... but look...
