I'll look for your posts David. I was actually about to ask you about it. I had a tin in my cart on SmokingPipes before but it didn't make the final cut when I make my semi-responsible cart edit prior to checkout. haha Is it in last month's what are you smoking thread or in the tobacco threads? First time I smoked DistGent I was in the midst of crappy sinuses. Then I spilled the tin and only had two pipe fulls left, though I had a 7 ounce tin. Last week I gave it a try, thinking that if I liked it, only SP has it and I should get some. It shot to the top of my list now, which includes (leaving out the Holiday Types) Sutliff VIP Match, which is down to about 5 or 6 in order of likes Five Brothers is in the top 3 Butternut Burley is in the top 3 Sutliff J4 Burley about 4 DistGent top 3 1936 Briggs top 5 In rotation are Whitehall Black Tie - Really in the top category, though I don't smoke it quite as much. Brigadier Black Alamo - Vanilla, caramel Vermont Meat Candy Hickory Match Captain Black Royal and Dark 7 Seas Royal Mulled Wine Velvet Comoy's Cask 2 Heine's, EGR, Chatham Manor, Carter Hall, Sutliff Ready Rub, Sweet Cask, VIP Match, Smoker's Pride Black Cav (really nice BCav) Now the Poofies - Pumpkin Spice, Christmas Spice, McCl Pastry, Low Country Hazelnut, Corn Cob Pipe & Button Nose McC has a Holiday Spirit and Best of Show Aro that smell great, but a little vinegar new. Let them sit for a few years and wow All of the above I have either a full tub of or a pound or two... or three. The tinned ones that do not come in anything over 2-3 ounces I have several, but my main concern are the ones I can just puff my way to eternity with. Sorry you asked? Awesome. I will absolutely give it a try. I too like that Vermont Meat Candy a great deal. It is so good after a nice big weekend breakfast. Also a big fan of the EGR. I find it similar to that one Holiday mixture you recommended which I also enjoy. Chatham Manor and Butternut Burley are both on my list as well. Seem's they are usually out when I make my monthly order. I just added a can of Distinguished Gentleman to my SmokingPipes cart now. Hope it is still in stock when I complete the order. You're an aro guy and a good person to ask, I wager- When people refer to Walnut, is that a reference to blend, or is walnut a popular topping? I love walnuts, so it stands to reason that a walnut blend would be nice. If so, are there any you would recommend? |

I love walnuts, so it stands to reason that a walnut blend would be nice. If so, are there any you would recommend? Walnut was named after a street. Not an aro. An American English. Not bad. One blend I didn't mention, as it is not readily available is Burgundy. Pipestud has a couple different sized tins of it. Around 1970 and they were in plastic bags inside the tin, so they aged without issue of sticking to can. It is wayyyyy Burgundy. I like it as is. Similar to Hickory and Hickory Match in "Hwang Factor", so you might want to mix burley or straight black cav with it. Pipestud's prices are maybe a little more than new blends. In this case it is cheaper than say a Butternut Burley. BB is really to die for it's so soft and creamy. |

After dinner with Blondie and watching a movie on Amazon she made her way to the living room to watch one of her crime/murder whodunit shows and I found my way up to the mancave.
While enjoyin my first bowl of the evening, Margate in my 84 Dunnie Bruyere Canadian, sippin McClelland's Speyside I was watchin WKRP on Hulu. I noticed that Big Guy has a round pipe stand on his desk.
Have since moved on to some HU Fayyum in my Lane era Charatan Sandblast Dublin with an exquisitely thin Saddle bit.

Happy December, all! This is my first post in God-only-knows how long...good to be back, scrolling through the posts. Enjoyed a bowl of 2015 C&D's Golden Days of Yore in a Savinelli Saint Nicholas Poker. Very pleasant smoke, with kind of a sugar-cookie note. Went well with hot chocolate! Hope all of you are well, healthy, and enjoying life. Best regards your way as well. Good to see you posting . |

Having some Skiff Mixture in my LaRocca. So much smoother than I remember. Wonder if it is the year it spent hanging out in a ziplock bag or maybe it is because my last smoke was Brown Bogie? haha Either way, it is delicious. Almost tastes like canned peaches. .  |

Maybe sometime this month, I'll be able to smoke a pipe or two.  The swelling from the stitches in my upper lip has gone down, but is not gone yet. I am awaiting to smoke some CCP&ABN, some Days Of Yore, and about 25 other blends. |
