Favorite aromatic flavor
My favorite is whatever is on Old Toby! I think they called the blend reminiscent of "spice cake", so I imagine it's a heavy sugar casing. Smells just like a good sugar cookie to me, and it has a bit of spice to it (maybe from the Perique, at least in part). It's easily my most smoked aro. I...- jiminy

What to do With a Gifted Pipe?
Hypothetical question here: What if someone gave you a pipe for gift, but it isn't something that you'd really like in your rotation. Do you regift it, sell it, bin it, etc.? -
Denicool Filter Crystals
I'm pretty much a charcoal 9mm only-ist these days. I don't smoke much so the extra cost is minimal, and it has eliminated any bite for me thus far.- jiminy

Denicool Filter Crystals
Glad you figured it out! I know a guy who is Virginia sensitive, but generally only for straight or heavy Virginia blends.- jiminy

Ran Into A Guy Smoking a Pipe
In my neck of the woods in a fairly isolated northern Canadian town, there is another pipe smoker I know. We both are only occasional smokers, so we try to meet up once month or so to have a bowl together. However, where I lived previously (town of 5000), I knew 3 or 4 other young guys who...- jiminy

Who Smokes Tiny Briar Pipes? Resting Them?
I have three small pipes about that size: an Irish Seconds (317), an old, haggard Well Bent system knock off, and a Rattray's Ahoy. Love them all. I'd smoke any of them all day if I add the chance to do that. If they were expensive I'd be more hesitant- jiminy

Desert Island Tobacco
Perhaps Presbyterian for me... Although I finally ordered some Luxury Bullseye Flake for the first time, and I have high hopes for it. Anyways, if I'm on a desert island, I'd be avoiding choosing a heavy tobacco... Need something light!- jiminy

Interested in Trying a New Aro.
Hello from a fellow Canuck! I'd highly recommend the Country Squire's aromatics, they are top notch. There are no shortage of tobaccos to try, but we here in Canada either pay through the nose domestically for poor selection, or risk customs by importing. Like some others have stated, I have...- jiminy

How long should this bowl last?
If you are determined to keep smoking but feel like you've tried nearly everything to solve tongue bite unsuccessfully, I would honestly try a filtered pipe. In particular, a 9mm filtered pipe. Lots of options out there, and they don't need to break the bank. Charcoal filters have done wonders...- jiminy

Filter pipes
Lots of good suggestions so far. Savinelli produce great pipes in both 6mm and 9mm. Most European pipe companies will produce 9mm options, since they are looked upon more favourably there. For the 6mm, you can find inexpensive cobs, Grabows, Rossi, etc that are drilled for them. One...- jiminy

Light Latakia Blends?
Is it lighter than Hunting Creek? It's technically an Aro-English, but far more Aromatic than Northwest Trek (in my mind). Other than that I've only tried some Shepherds Pie, as none of the Cornishman blends have appealed to me.- jiminy

Light Latakia Blends?
It's been a few years since I had any, but I am pretty sure that Bald Headed Teacher from 4Noggins is a Burley forward blend with a hint of latakia. Could be wrong, but it has a lot of fans and good reviews from what I remember- jiminy

Pipe Wisdom & Whimsy from G.L. Pease - New Article for November 2022
You are the exclusive Peterson guy, right? How do you like the 313? Just ordered my first one today. I've only had 314 & 317's, but love both those shapes- jiminy
