I apologize for just dissapearing for several months....had some weird life circumstances...as we all do from time to time. I think I may have forgotten to sen a bomb out to someone. My sincere apologies. If things had not gotten so crazy so quickly I def would have sent it. Hope all you...

I think this is the right place for this post....Idk. Anyways, I have this LJ Peretti pipe, it is an awesome, neutral smoker....a great piece of briar. However, it has the tendency to gurgle once in awhile....I suspect that it's the crap production vulcanite stem on it. I'd like to have it...

Tonight, I took on of my favorite blends, McConnell"s Folded Flake, and smoked a whole bowl in my Nording freehand. Before I packed the bowl, I took some of the broken flake and slightly rubbed it out into a bakelite cereal bowl(what I usually do to dry tobacco out), until it was the right...

Since I decided early on that I wasn't much for latakia, I focused my attention on Virginias, VaPers, Vaperburs and some burley blends, and found some that I really love....Escudo, Folded flake, Night Train, ABF to name a few. But since discovering that I LOVE Penzance, my interest in lat...

Has anyone tried this stuff? I've been smoking it for a couple of months now...I don't hear it mentioned much. It has really grown on me, it's one of my favorites now. I love the presentation...big flakes folded together...kindof looks like shredded wheat, and you can just peel off strands as...

I just got a tin of Cumberland in the mail from smokingpipes. I ordered it after reading some great reviews here on it. Its not quite what I expected. The Kentucky is very up front and center with the virginias in the background and just a hint of perique that you really can't taste till...

Ok I have a question that may be fairly obvious to some, but being a relative noob it isn't to me. What really makes a pipe smoke well. By well I guess I mean cool and dry. What I assume is that it's a combination of engineering and wood quality.....but it seems to me that since the...

Normally I'm not a huge fan of lat although I do enjoy the occasional english. I decided to try some mm965 in my little MM legend....and wow, it was great. What a different experience this blend was out of a cob. I could really pick up the sweetness of the virginias along with the lat tatse...

I've been on Ebay looking at estates, and it seems that pretty much every rusticated Ascorti I see goes for right around $50. I took the plunge not knowing much about this brand and bought an Ascorti straight dublin shape that looked to be in pretty good condition for $51. It had a little rim...

Got my 1st cob today...pretty sure its a MM legend. I know its mm, says so on the sticker on the bottom of the pipe, but it doesn't say what model. I went on the MM site and matched it up...clear amber stem, smaller bowl, unfinished...same as the legend. In any case I was surprised at how...

I got this today at Peretti's in Boston....tried it. It starts out like Tilbury but not as bright, it has a darker toastier taste. Further down the bowl it really shows its difference from Tilbury. It has a fuller richer flavor. I like Tilbury alot but I like this better. Stonehaven is...

Did you ever have a day where no matter what you smoke or what pipe you smoke it in it bites? I had one of those days today. Normally I smoke mostly full strenfth VA's and VaPers...the bitiest of the biters and I have no problem. Today was different....I started out with a bowl of Cuban...

I bought a tin of this when I asked a local tobacconist for something with a good amount of N. Upon opening it smelled....weird. Must be the tonquin bean extract? Very dark roughed up flakes, I found I could not really pull a single flake out like you can with FVF. Upon recommendation from...

This music may not be everyone's cup of tea but you can't deny this guys talent. John Butler "Ocean". Everytime he plays it live he plays it different....this is by far the best version I've seen. One of the best guitar performances I've ever seen....up there with Stevie Ray Vaughn's Texas...

I've noticed something...when I smoke VA's or VaPers out of a pipe with a wider shallower bowl it takes some of the bite out of them and makes it a more pleasurable smoking experience. Is this something you other pipers have noticed or maybe its just that the pipes I have with bowls like this...

So my Mom recently told me that my 9 year old daughter wants to buy me a pipe for Christmas. She told me that she'll spend around $100. Isn't that awesome that my mom is willing to spend all that money on a nice pipe from my daughter? I told her not to do it but she's very stubborn and I...

Was starting to have too many open tins...so I went out and got some mason jars. Lol they say eight ounces but they barely fit 2 ounces of tobacco. Anyways heres my growing little collection. Ha my writing is chicken scratch. The one on the left that you can't see that well is Peretti's...

I stopped by Peretti's today and picked up some FVF along with some Cuban Mixture. I guess from all the positive comments on this forum about FVF we all know it's pretty awesome. I wanted to try something new so I decided to grab an ounce of their Cuban Mixture. I guess it's been around for...

I really thought I was going to be a va and vaper fan...and I am, but since ive been smoking this blemd I have been nothing short of impressed. Lol it appears im going to be a fan of whatever tastes good to me and this stuff is awesome....big nic hit with a nice sour/sweet taste with some...

Just had some hot wings and decided to have a smoke afterwards. All I could taste was the spicyness of the wings, ruined the smoke. Live and learn.
