Been there, done that, got the tshirt. No fun at all.

Cornell and Diehl Billy Budd in a Peterson Kinsale. It had been a good long time since I'd smoked this tobacco. I found about a pouch worth in a mason jar in my pantry. It was like a visit from an...

IMHO, Cornell and Diehl Old Joe Krantz is, and has for several years been the finest pipe tobacco on the market. After a long break from smoking a pipe I recently ordered up a pound. Not...

I've smoked two of the three you mention. I'm not really an aromatic guy but Trout Stream in my humble opinion is the best of the genre. It has kind of a butterscotch room note to it but it doesn't...

Three mile run followed by a tore up La Aroma de Cuba cigar in a Whitehall Grand National. Now for a nice shower and shave and off to the beach with the lovely Mrs. GI. Pics to follow. I'm trying...

Haven't posted a POTD for a while so here goes. After working up a bit of a lather with a morning run I sat on the porch watching it rain and enjoyed some OJK in a Peterson Kinsale with a nice cup...

Frankly I think the brass bins are a bit more in keeping with the manly art of pipe smoking, just sayin :rofl2:

G&H Happy Brown Bogie in an Edwards prince. It's a beautiful sunny day out and I was just sitting out on the lanai smoking, drinking coffee and reading a book

What a week! Called in dead this morning so I started the day with a leisurely breakfast, a good pipe and a cup of coffee. The pipe in question is a Kaywoodie 7723C (pre-1936) loaded with C&D Old...

Mid 50's a bit of a drizzle and some wind. In these parts that's known as unlivable winter conditions, most people are forced to wear socks with their flip flops this time of year.

C&D Old Joe Krantz in a Nording Egg. Nice and cool out this evening, a fine stout smoke.

Smack out of the evil lip weed this evening. OJK in an Edward's Prince provided the necessary vitamin N. Real nice smoke, I may just take a pipe to work tomorrow instead of reloading with snuff....

Speaking of MM Cobs, the cooler weather is increasing my motivation for a good smoke. So I pulled out two perennial performers, Cobosaurus Rex and Old Joe Krantz

Wow! OJK and Irish Flake mixed? That's certainly all the vitamin N a growing boy needs and then some. The Musty Yak (Pembroke) thrown in for just a hint of burning tires :)

Sparks, good to see ya again my brother. Glad to see you are still an active member of the American Codger Burley Association.

Riverboat Gambler was the handwork of my good friend the late great Bob Runowski. It comes fairly close to a sort of English blend but as was Bob's custom has the heavy influence of classic American...

I'm sitting here looking at a mason jar full of G&H Sliced Brown Bogie (also a vitamin N powerbar). Think I might just load up a four digit Kaywoodie with some and adjourn to the lanai with a good...

Old Joe Krantz in an Edward's Burl Cut. Perfect partner for a good cup of dark roast coffee

A classic American Codger Burley (Prince Albert, the National Joy Smoke) in a Peterson Kinsale. Just the thing for a muggy, lazy Saturday afternoon. Now I gotta go write a paper but I suspect my...

PM me an address, I'll cut you off a slice of my tub. Could I interest you in a sample of Prince Albert or perhaps Old Joe Krantz?

There are several, McClellands has two, Dominican Glory and Dominican Glory Maduro. C&D Billy Budd, which I smoke a bit of in the Fall and Winter has maduro leaf as does a Hearth and Home blend...

Yeah, mostly burley but burley is pretty much 99.99% of my rotation. Every once in a while I'll pick up something with a burley base and condimental levels of virginia and perigue (i.e. Old Joe...

It's compact and fat at the same time, a really good smoker too not nearly as hot and bitey as most compact pipes. I normally don't have dedicated pipes as my diversity of tobacco is not all that...
