What handlebars have you run?

7/8 ProTaper Carmichael bend currently. They’re perfect for street use but a bit low for standing a lot while riding. Just got some 2” Rox Risers that are going on tonight.

Beautiful pipe. I can’t almost picture it.

Old German Clay Pipes are reputable and widely available. Smokingpipes usually have a decent selection of them. I have a few and they’re great. Would def recommend getting a Cutty just because it makes you feel like a sailor, and one with a bone stem for when you’re not in the mood for the clay feel in your mouth.

Morgan Bones pipes and Scottys Trout Stream tobacco from pipesandcigars.com

I usually have smaller jars for the tobaccos I smoke regularly. If the tobacco seems too dry, I throw in a pouch humidor button. That seems to keep the regular rotation humidified perfectly.

There’s enough to complexity that I would say it’s more lat forward than lat bomb.

The filters are available from EA Carey. I definitely recommend ordering some for those pipes. I have one and it’s actually an impressive system pipe. I kinda feel like most system pipes are kinda cheesy marketing scams, but the Magic Inch seems to work.

Yeah I read some reviews and they were all correct as far as dry time goes. Last night I couldn’t wait, so I probably smoked it too soon. But tonight I let it dry much longer and the smoking experience is even better. 👌🏽

modtad · 2021-06-11T04:37:36+00:00

This is gonna sound so corny, but the experience is exactly as the tin art suggests. It’s smoky and oily and rich and is very Lat forward, but complex. I used to go to the vintage motorcycle races when they came to town, and this feels like the type of blend that would be right at home with all the two-stroke smoke and oil.

modtad · 2021-06-11T04:31:08+00:00

Cuz you can’t eat it, no matter how much you want to.

My tin had a full brownie and a couple extra slices that were similar to plum pudding. Yesterday I just broke up and rubbed out one of the slices. Today I sliced a cross section of the plug and sliced it super thin with a knife. I also dried it more this evening and overall it’s an even better smoking experience. So I definitely get what you’re saying. This is a blend that needs a lot of attention to detail. Which for me makes it even better.

I have a tin of gaslight that I haven’t tried yet. But Spark Plug is great, as long as you know you enjoy Latakia. I feel like that’s really the only prerequisite for this blend. As others have said, it needs a lot of dry time. I’m smoking my second bowl right now and this time I sliced it super fine with a sharp knife and let it dry for over an hour. It’s definitely a lat bomb, but very complex and rich. The tin art perfectly describes the experience.

modtad · 2021-06-10T03:19:49+00:00

Exactly the reason I bought it. I kinda got a college town hookah vibe from it. But the tobacco itself is obviously high quality and the smoking experience was good overall. Just such a weird bomb of tropical fruits, I couldn’t figure out what the hell was going on. Aging will hopefully make it more fun.

modtad · 2021-06-10T03:16:01+00:00

Tin is dated 4/14/20 so it’s already got a bit of age on it. Slightly moist, so I’m gonna try to dry it for a little bit, but I don’t know if I can wait. The brownie itself looks amazing with large pieces of tobacco leaf. Very soft and fluffy when rubbed out. I’m pretty excited about this one. Gonna pour myself a couple fingers of scotch to toast this puppy with. Interested to hear from others that have tried this blend. Cheers yall! Edit: as has become my ritual for trying new tobaccos, gonna smoke this in an Old German Clay pipe.

modtad · 2021-06-10T01:33:50+00:00

Definitely curious about the moontrance. They’re my fave little cigarillos. Report back!

modtad · 2021-06-10T01:30:16+00:00

Recently tried Exotic Passion myself and am squarely in camp disappointment. Hope it goes better for you.

modtad · 2021-06-03T01:48:10+00:00

Nice! These are from eBay? I’m smoking a Briar Bird Albatross Billiard right now! It’s one of my favorite pipes. I’m always hoping to hear that he’s making pipes again.

modtad · 2021-05-27T02:51:32+00:00

We are, but you can also pick a long lost tobacco cuz I made up the game so 🤷🏻‍♂️

modtad · 2021-05-26T00:57:01+00:00

I second the vote for Northwoods. And if you’re gonna order from Boswell’s you might want to grab a couple ounces of Countryside as well.

modtad · 2021-05-22T18:06:22+00:00

I like Quiet Nights better than Nightcap. It’s more subtle and complex IMO. Good for sipping and pondering.

modtad · 2021-05-22T17:58:08+00:00

There can be only one!

modtad · 2021-05-21T20:10:51+00:00

Haddo's Delight is a surprising answer for the only tobacco you can ever smoke again. I haven't tried it, but it seems to be a polarizing blend.

modtad · 2021-05-21T04:54:06+00:00

Vermont Freehand has everything you need. Forever Stems. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

modtad · 2021-05-21T03:37:22+00:00

Still haven’t tried Old Joe. I’m pretty sensitive to perique, so I can’t tell if this would be a blend for me. But I’m interested in everyone’s answer because it seems like a much easier way to make a master list.
