    I Have a Question for a Peterson Expert

    They offer the Derry in a 9mm option. I’d have to see the exact listing you’re looking at to know for sure. You can always call or email the shop and ask

    SPC Price Points

    Pipe Force & Birds of a Feather are/were $15/ 1.5oz tin, so it’s in line with Sutliff’s premium tins. The barrel aged SPC stuff is a little more than that but it’s basically in line with what they charge for others in that range

    Taming MacBaren Virginia No 1

    #1 is one of my most smoked tobaccos. I’ve found drying it out and smoking really, really slowly help to tame this one. Alternatively, C&D Virginia Flake & Sutliff Sweet Virginia are similar in taste and cut and might be worth trying. Sweet Virginia is really good and I may even like it better...

    GH Rum Flake

    Give Rum Flake a couple of weeks in the jar and then try it again. I wasn’t impressed either after the first smoke but after letting it sit in a jar for a few weeks it seems to really open up flavor wise. It’s one of my favorites now

    Peterson 125th Anniversary Premier

    I believe they were made of bone which would be cool but aluminum is probably better
