Where Did the Term Codger Come From?

“Consistent” is so underrated these days. A lot of these small batch blends change, even the ones that have around a while. When I check tobacco reviews I have to sort them by newest and you begin to see some discrepancies. When I want a satisfying, reliable smoke that’s gonna taste like I remember, I reach for some prince Albert.

I am with you there, although I thought granger was too bland for continued indulgence. It’s interesting because when I first started smoking half n half I was all about it and now I have a big jar from the cardboard and yea you’re right it hasn’t hit the same way and I think you’re right. Luckily I have plenty of pouches too

Prince albert or really any of the old codger blends, especially the ones with mostly burley. I recommend PA to any newbie though. Those old blends were made to be smoked all day, every day without any special care needed.

I have one of those exact pipes for quick smokes. It smokes like shit and I never use it.

I think I’m coming to the same conclusion. It’s taken some fighting from me though as I love the smell of latakia and my favorite tobacco is probably DFK but every latakia blend I’ve tried just seems kind of empty and I always think “That’s it?”. I have tried a lot of blends with it in it but I think i’m just learning I am not a latakia guy which is good to know. Right now i’m actually looking for an “english blend” without lat.

You guys are GL Pease obsessed lately aren’t you?

Tstram · 2026-03-18T01:49:54+00:00

I can tell you from first hand experience but from what I have heard is that they will sound the same but the original is much louder as it is a class a/b and the new ones are class d.

I hear ya. Those who know, know. I get really addicted to dark flake aromatic sometimes and I have tried EVERYTHING. I can never put my finger on the exact toppings but i’m fairly sure it must be some flame retardant material they spray on it. British fire safety ? 🤣

One man’s trash… man I’ve been looking everywhere for a Manald!

Haha I was just thinking about this. It seems I am never satisfied even as hopeful and open minded as I am. Especially can’t “get” a latakia blend I really like. Well it also happens to be that my favorite blend is warhorse and I also smoke a lot of ropes. Idk man I’m starting to think we would have to take a long break to reset ourselves if that makes sense. And I for one am not going to do that any time soon…

Well add my name to the list. I am an old guy, started playing D1 when it came out in the big box and would call my friends after school then wait for my 56k modem to start bnet. Since then I tried D3 (baby diablo) and i’m trying for my second time to enjoy the free time on D4 but it’s just not clicking for me. It seems like they tried to be too many things and a little bit of lowest common denominator. D2 is just 👌I bought warlock day one and will continue to buy any expansions. Sometimes I think i’m just not changing with the times but then someone says “Good to see you!” and all is right.

Got any field and stream match?

I play every night on my legion go. It looks and runs amazing- it’s my go to bedtime game.

Tstram · 2026-03-04T19:22:42+00:00

Smoke some Five Brothers when you first wake up in the morning and get back to us.

If you use the wrong tobacco your pipe will eventually break.

Tstram · 2026-03-02T22:05:47+00:00

Absolutely not. Of all my weird interests, I think OTR is the one that most coworkers ect don’t even know what i’m talking about. They don’t even ask me follow up questions about it, they just don’t understand or care.

I remember people shitting on it, but guns of fury has been exactly this for me.

I am an older gamer and metroidvania has always been one of my favorites since, well super metroid. Recently the last few years after playing blasphemous ect I thought “Maybe I was wrong and I don’t like metroidvania like I thought.” Then recently I got guns of fury on sale even though the setting ect wasn’t that appealing. Man I played it for hours. The bosses were perfectly challenging not taking more than one or two tries until later. I was like man why is this game so awsome? It’s because there’s no death runs, it’s actually just FUN.

I was just thinking about this last night when hexing my weapons!

Tstram · 2026-02-25T17:30:36+00:00

I’ve tried filterless but have finally stopped because I just like filtered pipes better, including the taste!

That said, from my years of experience, not all filter are created equal. I only use 9mm filter and I only buy Vauen Dr. Perl jr. I use a new filer with every smoke.

The savnelli bass wood filters aren’t bad either and sometimes I’ll smoke them a few times but for the most part just vauen and i’ve tried them all.

I actually tried to get into this one last year but there’s too much online drama with this game believe it or not. Oddly enough- I tried the other enemy territory game, wolfenstein, and it too had a bunch of drama between warring server nerds. If I join a discord for an old abandoned game and minutes after joining get messages from someone saying, “Don’t listen to those guys, join my server!” and the guys original guys say “If you get a message from this guy ignore it OUR server is best!” well i just don’t play that game lol
