Irish Oak: Not for the Novice Pipe Smoker.

Recently I'd purchased a new tin of Peterson's Irish Oak tobacco. Let me tell you that if you are a newbie or a novice at pipe smoking then do not buy this. This tobacco will kick your brain in the groin and drown it in nicotine.

I'm assuming that the tobacco was fire cured and sun cured. In order to get a strong kick out of the tobacco. Because there was no way that any of the aromatics that I smoke had such a kick. Now the moisture in the tobacco was perfect as it suppose to be. That being said, the cut was typical of what you get with pipe tobacco, unless you buy flake tobacco. Too thin in some areas too thick, but always the right amount of thick to thin ratio.

Which brings me back to my original point, DON'T BUY IT IF YOU ARE NEW! Because withdrawal will be a bitch to suffer through and if you don't go through that unless you have an affinity for headaches.

Finally as I leave you with my catchphrase, I felt that the tobacco was good, despite it not being an aromatic like Moontrance or Devil's Holiday. I felt it was a good tobacco with a strong smell that didn't feel it was overpowering. But the amount of nicotine that was available in that tobacco was a bit too much for my taste.

So if you are used to sweet tasting of air curing and the lightness of Aromatics don't buy it. But if you want to diversify your tobacco experience, don't say no immediately. Just be cautious of the nicotine, cause you will feel like you just inhaled the smoke instead keeping it in your mouth.

Which will make you nauseous, if you stop too sudden.  

So with that I'll puff you later.

Ending of the Tobacco endeavor.

Today is sad day for me. Because my tobacco sprout has died of root rot. At first I thought it would make a full recovery and such but it did not. So with this I raise a metaphorical glass of scotch and raise it to the heavens as if this plant had a soul, which I doubt.


So with that I'll puff you later.

Tobacco Endeavor: Last Tobacco plant

Well this is going to be quick.

A couple of weeks have passed and I started out with five but now I'm down to one tobacco sprout. Hopefully it will survive to adulthood. I am having fingers crossed that it will survive this unforgiving heat wave.

Any way I hope that this sprout makes it. I also hope that I'll have a good harvest, and I'll learn my mistakes while growing tobacco. But until I start growing some more or restart the whole process I will still have faith that this little sprout will make me proud.


With that I'll puff you later.

Tobacco endeavor: A Quick puff

My germinated seedlings are now full flung sprouts, they grow up so fast.  Anyways with all of that crap out of the way. I am now going thin out the heard by picking the ones I don't want. But before I can do that. I need a pair of tweezers, so that I can surgically remove the sprouts that are weak or on the edge of the pot.


So after I find a pair of tweezers and remove the weak leaving only the strong…I will update you guys with more news on how my tobacco plant is doing. Well puff you later.

Tobacco Endeavor: Part Three

This post will be short but the reason I have decided to write a post is to tell you this.

My tobacco seeds have germinated and started to sprout. Now before you start jumping up in down with excitement. I have still ways to go before I can call these sprouts tobacco. A word to the wise, never cover up your tobacco seeds after you sprinkle them onto the soil. It will take forever for them to germinate. Bathe them in light and make sure that they have enough water so that the plants won't be begging for water.

So…with that I'll puff you later.

Tobacco Endeavor: Part two

So after four months of purchasing tobacco seeds and three months thinking that said purchase was a scam. I found out that my packet of Tobacco seeds, Cuban Corilla, had actually arrived. Now I am excited and to start on this endeavor and will do my most to update you on the progress.


I won't however being putting a deadline nor be updating you guys every day but every weak as to keep it easy for me. But I won't be doing this week as I will be at the beach. Now before you congratulate me on going to the sandy place where it meets the sea. Its a nightmare in which I won't be waking up for a long week.

So with the tortuous week ahead. Don't epect me to update you on how smoking at the beach can be enhanced with a good drink in hand, which is always peach juice with rum. Or any citrus fruit with rum, drink.


So with that I'll puff you later.

Pressing the Pause button for now.

Hello to any of my readers,

I am sorry to say that I discontinuing this blog. But fear not! I am not ending this blog its just that with the lack of funds, no job, and still living with my parents (the shame). I just realized that I need fix up my life, because this is defiantly not where I expected my life to be right now.

If your thinking that this is the final posting then you are wrong. Well partially wrong, I am just hitting the pause button until I can figure out a way to financially support this blog, without relying on my family. I will continue to write so that pipe smokers don't have to worry about what to do, when in a crisis. Nor am I leaving out to dry.

If you are looking for advice then I would lead you to hear.

The Pipe Smoking Forum, (trumpet sounds).

This forum will be your guide for the time being. Until I get into a College that isn't a Community College, no offense. But until then I will continue to feel like a goddamn Hipster, who is living living with his parents because society is against it.

So with this final posting, for now, I am giving you the link: www.pipesmokersforum.com

So farewell, Live long and for the Love of G-d. Smoke a Pipe.

Puff you later!!!!!!
