It has been a few months since my last recording, and I am trying to be more active here so hang in there! This episode is about my top 5 summer blends of 2024.

Summer is wrapping up and so are my summer pipe tobacco blends. In this episode I recap what my top 5 summer blends of 2023 were, and what I plan on smoking for the fall. Do you have too many tobacco tins open that you never go back to? Maybe it is time to do some 'seasonal shuffling'. Move out the summer blends and make way for the fall ones!

Our first guest joins us for episode 3. J Blanchard is a pipe maker from Houston TX. I met J years ago through a mutual friend, and I only found out recently that he made pipes! J talks about his 'pipe origin' story and who influenced him to start smoking a pipe. He also tells us how he started making pipes and his love for classic pipe shapes.

J Blanchard stops by to catch up on some tobacco talk. Bill eventually gets around to talkin' about LJ Peretti's #8 Slice. A beautiful Virginia/Perique/Burley flake, that may or may not have ghosted his pipe... J's palate seems to be expanding, as he strays away from his beloved aromatics and delves into some straight Virginia. Bill talks about his experience so far with home blending, and how his love for Latakia is currently on shaky ground... Grab your favorite pipe and join us for some tobacco talk!

In this episode I talk about trying to find my morning fall blend. Why Burley Flake #3 won't work, and why Burley Flake #4 could fit the bill (but probably not all the time). Also I am looking for your feedback! See feedback link below and help out the show. Let's talk tobacco!
