Are there any Pipe smokers here? Looking for suggestions on tobacco, Figured a Pipe would be easier than the cigars I've been smoking at the matches.

Depends on what type of cigars you like. I like medium to Maduro cigars (Foundation Charter Oaks Maduro is my favorite. The Petit is just about a 70 minute smoke for me, but I digress).  My favorite pipe tobacco right now is a mix I made from three other blends. I take two blends from the tobacco store Smoker Friendly, their Sweet and Natural and Cherry flavor. The third is old fashioned Velvet pipe tobacco(same stuff my grandpa smoked). I mix those in equal parts and smoke it through my cob.  I have some in a jar "cellaring" right now.

Sunny and 55 today in California. We're about to head out and cut a tree for Christmas. Taking the dog, since she's pretty good at finding sticks.

Coffee's on , and some of the Wife's seasonal bake goods, leftovers after "SHE" all her cookie plate rounds....
43 ° this morning,  clear a bell ....

Going to have Lunch with Coffinmaker ( down on his annual Mouse venture )


Had comedy of errors ...I ordered 30/06 dies for loading my 1917 Enfield from Amazon.com supposed to arrive at my home 20 on Friday  the 21st.   

Got a email it was delivered, left in the MAIL ROOM  ???  ( strange  :-\  should be my home mailbox ) but I also got an email ,  there was package for me at work ( I had left for the day... Ok so I check my home MAIL BOX ..nothing ) 
I check tracking to see if they send it to my work....NO  it was sent to my home , OK then its not here...

So I called AMAZON for clarification.... Customer Service they will check with carrier while I wait ... seem s it was delivered

to different address different street... but add that address is 23 FEET away ...REALLY ????  I live on acreage my own mailbox is 400 feet away !!!    So they offer apologies and will send a replacement...  that's acceptable I tell them...

I have no Idea what package is waiting at work.... and since I've got Holiday until Wed. I won't know...

Now the comedy part....seems the mail came early at home this day, normally 4pm of later... Friday it came a 1PM
 "SHE" that shall be obeyed , intercepted it...had it with her ! on her drive around delivering her cookies , ( thats why the Mail BOX was empty @ 4:30 when I got home  ::)

"SHE" has my 30/06 dies package ... So I call Amazon  :-[  and tell them to cancel ...to late they say , replacement have been sent to be delivered TODAY , special carrier.... I have a free shipping account .

SO I say, I'll return them....NOT necessary I'm told ...they won't issue a return .... guess I'll have 2 sets of 30/06 dies.


Wonder whats at work  ???

Enjoy your meetup with the Coffinmaker, M-2. Never met him, but his writing"s a hoot.

It's not hard to hit the wrong item on the postal scanner's  menu, and if you don't notice at first, you have about a 15 second window to correct it, before it uploads, then it can't be changed. Delivered to individual is #2 option, I think Mailroom may be #5, right below on the keypad. No businesses on my route, so I don't get to use "Mailroom" much.


I also have 2 sets of '06 dies. One with a case stuck fast in it. Learned the hard way to use real case lube on rifle cases, the stuck one is from "one shot" spray case lube. OK for pistol or neck sizing only, not so much for F/L rifle re-sizing.

Thanks for the coffee this morning.

Not happy at all with Amazon
Not sure if i am not happy with USPS or the point of purchase or both on 2nd item. Ordered on 17th tracking stopped on 20th- with first and only track.


Yep use real lube on rifle casings, i agree

I ordered something from Dillon on the 14th and according to the tracker it's still sitting there waiting to be picked up  ::) ::)
Kid, in cigars I like the CAO MX2, a double maduro, In pipe tobacco I'm looking for something that's mild with a nice scent so as to not offend others around me, Not a fan of flavored cigars, so I most likely wouldn't like a flavored pipe tobacco. Thanks for the advice from all that gave it.

M-2, the One Shot may work for you, if you're just going to neck size. I have total 4 in 30-06, and one's a Garand, so all my loading is made "Garand friendly", sized full length, 150gr bullets and not too slow powder(usually IMR 4064).

Roo... that's funny right there  :)


PE....I load 30/40 Krag and just neck size ...my load is 12.5 Grains Trail Boss & a 195 grain GC cast bullet.


I'll start there with the 30/06 - 12.5 Grains TB but use a Coated 165 Grain cast bullet non GC'ed  ,  being its a Bolt action I don't need to blow back the auto action.

I did order some case lube anyway, though I have no issue with the 30/40 cases & One Shot ..can't hurt I guess.

But I'm open to suggestions or opinions
