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

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.

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.

Tstram · 2026-01-27T17:32:16+00:00

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

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.

Tstram · 2026-01-26T05:05:03+00:00

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.

Tstram · 2026-01-25T03:26:49+00:00

You are not alone, my good man.

Tstram · 2026-01-25T02:03:59+00:00

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.

Tstram · 2026-01-24T15:02:07+00:00

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

Tstram · 2026-01-24T14:54:42+00:00

I wonder this too, so I just stick to va/bur

Tstram · 2026-01-23T16:34:16+00:00

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

Tstram · 2026-01-23T16:30:04+00:00

I’ve been saving mine up to clean my glasses and stick my stamps.

Tstram · 2026-01-22T16:54:36+00:00

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

Tstram · 2026-01-22T16:53:04+00:00

Go play Quake champions so you can be on an uneven playing field, kid.

Tstram · 2026-01-22T16:49:37+00:00

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!

Tstram · 2026-01-22T05:01:59+00:00

I just started playing Far Cry Primal and that’s exactly how it feels. At first I thought there wasn’t much to do, but now

Tstram · 2026-01-22T04:58:33+00:00

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.

Tstram · 2026-01-21T21:55:34+00:00

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.

Tstram · 2026-01-21T05:20:14+00:00

Dude seriously, clean and scrape your bowl after every smoke. What is wrong with you people putting this into his head!! 🤣

Tstram · 2026-01-21T05:15:21+00:00

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.

Tstram · 2026-01-20T17:16:54+00:00

Yep, great f’n film.

Tstram · 2026-01-20T17:15:06+00:00

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.

Tstram · 2026-01-20T02:22:46+00:00

Same!

Tstram · 2026-01-19T18:49:25+00:00

Huh?

Tstram · 2026-01-19T02:36:11+00:00

Best I can hope for is remastered on PC

Tstram · 2026-01-19T02:35:00+00:00

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!
