BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Gotta start somewhere!Captain Black Original. Don’t laugh too hard at me, I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to pipe tobacco.

OK, I'll bite.
What's funny in that picture?
Indeed, smoke what ya like, like what you smoke! And CPT black seemed very forgiving on the learning curve, and readily availabe at most any cigar shop!

When I get a pouch of it now and again I leave it in my truck to dry out good for a couple weeks. Fresh I cant smoke it.
Haven't known too many active pipers that don't visit the 'old codger blends' occasionally. Some, that's all they smoke.
I love me some Prince Albert & Carter Hall.
Codgers (drug store blends) are a nice change of pace and aid with new pipe break-ins.
Jody, you're doing fine.
Another beautiful pipe!
Is this the original or new blend (Sutliff)?
If the ladder, how does the Lat present itself. I love a full bodied Latakia taste.
Hah! Just my luck.
A good FM substitution that's also no longer blended.
I've understood that the old blend was produced by McClelland for Sutliff.

4 Noggins has the new blend in stock. I haven't tried it so I'm not sure how close it is to the old mixture.
