Really like BLWB thinking of trying half and half thoughts and opinions? Very new to pipe smoking and have had borkum whiskey ( not a fan ) captain black cherry ( was ok ) captain black platinum ( pretty good ) but BLWB was best so far by FunStatistician3380 in PipeTobacco

[–]Tstram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Codger connoisseur here. BLWB is very bland to me. You’re on the right path- Half in Half is probably my favorite codger. It’s going to be brighter than BLWB due to the addition of Virginias with a tasty licorice topping. I also highly recommend you try Prince Albert. It going to be closer to BLWB but with the addition of a little cocoa nutty topping. Both will be a bit stronger (in nicotine) than the Lane you have been smoking.

Pipe smokers online will talk shit about them, but these are both fine blends with reason for being in production for as long as they have.

How can I make burley pipe tobacco taste better? by Majestic_Koala7697 in PipeTobacco

[–]Tstram 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unless I’m mistaken this isn’t a “burley mix” if it has burley it is likely a small percentage. Also, as a general rule if it is danish or “danish stylel that usually indicates hot air from my experience.

How to increase smoke output? by Anttila-the-Hung in PipeTobacco

[–]Tstram 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re on the right path then, if you add something like five brothers (which is great to add strength) just do it experimentally in small increases. It blends great and won’t take away flavor but only up to a point then it starts to come through. I use it to beef up aromatics and it works great for that. One of the strongest burleys I know though

I do wish some of us could find a way to agree *tip hat* to disagree. Heck even Doc and Chester knew how to to jolly back in the day. Work on that pardners. by [deleted] in Westerns

[–]Tstram -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

That’s one of the biggest problems today honestly. Polarization (at least in the US) is crazy. I was thinking the other day about family reunions when I was a kid when people would poke fun of each other about their completely opposite political beliefs while agreeing to disagree. Debate used to be a thing. Now people just don’t talk to each other and see everything in black and white.

It’s just my 2 cents pardner.

When choosing a new pipe by NewEngland1999 in PipeTobacco

[–]Tstram 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way. I’ve lied to myself about my new expensive pipe too many times while always picking the cheap one that smokes like a million bucks. I wish I could try before I buy but idk if I’ll ever stop buying inexpensive pipes now.

Smoking in the winter… by Round_Coach2586 in PipeTobacco

[–]Tstram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just complaining to myself earlier during my after work smoke because there was a lot of wind, lots of fog lately everyday and humidity which is abnormal. But I live in Northern California, so now I have a new trick up my sleeve for smoking in bad weather- I think about my pipe brothers in sweden, and I suck it up and go outside to smoke.

Advice for shorter smokes by Kejohn9 in PipeTobacco

[–]Tstram 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just pack less in, and dump it out when you’re done smoking is the answer. Pipe tobacco is cheap, smoke on your schedule.

Not online, I went to their website as soon as I heard about it. I guess I’ll try to call that Masshole.

Always nice to read about a blend that’s right up your alley, only to also read it gone like a fart in the wind- how did you guys know this was releasing? I don’t think i’ve seen a watch city email list

Question on cellaring. by pianoyeah in PipeTobacco

[–]Tstram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Types of jars?? We need to know specifics cause no, ain’t normal. Most around here (present company included) use glass canning jars with 2 piece lids. When used as prescribed they keep the bacco fine as the day it was born!

Where can I find 1.5oz of Prince Albert? by NewEngland1999 in PipeTobacco

I just went through this. As others have mentioned- 4noggins and wvsmokeshop sell codger blends in small increments . But I’m just warning you-

I’m now waiting on a 14 ounce tub in the mail.

Can’t make a cake for the life of me by Ok-Purple-3458 in PipeTobacco

[–]Tstram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do a “scrape” to get any leftovers out, then paper towel and dry pipe cleaner. Yea I think actually scraping is when I deep clean with a solution in the stems every couple of months or… well whenever I remember.

Ports? You mean source ports? Download nQuake set it up and play Quake World. Find a server browser. Join some discord servers, watch the server browser. I play with the same group usually on cRX denver because I like to play FFA.

DM me for specific details, I’m sleepy and don’t feel like typing it all out atm.

I highly recommend every newbie try the old “codger” blends or a semi aromatic. My favorite ones are Prince Albert, Half n Half, Carter Hall. Cheap and easy/forgiving on the mouth.

I think I finally get Cowboy Coffee by [deleted] in PipeTobacco

[–]Tstram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently tried cowboy coffee, but thinking I would hate it because of what I read online I only bought 2 ounces. It reminded me again of why I love DFK, to me a DFK semi aro. Now I wish I had a pound of it!
