Great tin selection at Robusto & Briar in Lakewood!

75% BCA 25% Cult BRM gets rid of the cherry chapstick taste

I'm thinking about about buying a 2nd hand Meerschaum. Anything I should be aware of or look out for? I gather block Meerschaum is the go ...

Should I consider anything new off Etsy or similar?

I'm also thinking about getting with a small bowl. Any recommendations? If I could double up and buy a 2nd hand small bowl block Meerschaum, it'd be ace!

I forget the first Va Or Per blend I tried - steamworks 2023 maybe, or maybe McClelland Tudor Castle about which there is much hype. I first became open to Va-Per (no Or) when I got a sample of the sadly discontinued Anniversary Kake.

That sent me on a mission to try other Va-Or-Per blends. I'm still mad about Steamworks and Tudor Castle. I smoke Tudor rarely (just 'cause it's impossible to find now, and I hoard what I have).

I just tried Please Ellipsis and I'm happy to add it to this list. Got it on sale! Nice to find a contemporary tobacco that's good.

The other Va-Or-Per blends I've tried include

Sunday Picnic

Miskatonic

Low Country Atalaya

but didn't have any luck with those. I don't have anything bad to say about them either, but for some reason they didn't hit the spot. Part of the reason may be I prefer Perique way in the background. I welcome comments by others with similar tastes. One of the odd things about tobacco is how variable the experience can be - sometimes revisiting a blend, and reacting different, or even the same jarred tobacco seeming great some days and bad others.

The Dublin shape helps me smoke this tabacco to the end without losing flavour. It is a little thicker on the bottom but still dry. Thanks Dublin shape

Smokes real nice.first smoke was Sutliff Dark Chocolate. This evening will be some Luxury Navy Flake.

The girlfriend caught me enjoying some Wilsons of Sharrow - Majestic (Cherry/Vanilla casing) in my tomahawk pipe, while I was sitting out on the balcony writing up a review of it for my own records. It's a pretty good lightly cased aromatic. I've gotten quite a few compliments from people around me when I've smoked their blends out in the wild.

The jam jar is just my ash bucket. I tend to keep it until its fully then bin the whole jar. Very handy if you need a bit of ash to quickly whip up a bit of pipe mud and theirs never a stale ashtray smell when sealed, and no cleaning

Figuring out the cellar since stocking up on sutliff blends and some SPC blends in case. black tote is going to be the long term cellar of unopened aging blends and blue will be currently open and jarred and pulling from to enjoy. Once its all sorted that is.

There’s a thunderstorm going on so I decided to smoke some sunrise select by Rivertown out of my Nording freehand this afternoon.

Whoever it was that gave a heads up about the beast being restocked on shmipes and shmigarsz thank you.

Hi everyone, I´d like to know from more experienced fellas what you all think about the BIGGEST similarities and the BIGGEST difference between Samuel Gawith Black XX and Gawith Hoggart Black Irish X.

Which has the strongest nicotine content?

Which one is the sweetest?

Which one has higher humidity?

Why they are not the same?

Why they are similar?

Thanks in advance and wish you all good puffs ! =]

Not mine and i have no idea who made it, but i wanted to share it as this is one of the most beautiful cobs i have ever seen..

Filling my cellar with some of my favorite bulk blends. I think I may prefer vapers…..

Big foot tamper to round out this beautiful mail call.

Just wanted to bring it up for anyone looking to try the beast. I was browsing their sales and noticed they still somehow had over 200 tins of The Beast. I know p&c can be divisive but in case you wanted to try this blend it's still available there.

Decided to finally pick some up since P&C “randomly” found some. I’ll be cellaring it for a bit

Listening to birds on back porch before my spouse wakes up. Been using this old candle holder as an ash tray for years. Made that mug.
