    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    Some C&D Sam's Blend in my Peterson Red Spigot 80s that came yesterday. Beautifully made with great finish and coloring, excellent silver work that is flush not proud on the shank and stem and drilled perfectly with a nice open draw.

    New Guy in Nebraska

    Welcome from New Jersey. There are a number of pipe suppliers that advertise on this site give them a look also. I kind of like smoking pipes . com because you can do some searches for both new and or estate pipes putting in price range and shape and finish etc, and keep yourself busy for...

    Any Experience with These Petersons ?

    I don't clench so I can't help you with which might fit better but I do have 2 system pipes, a 314 and a 303 silver spigot and they take just a bit more in cleaning than running a pipe cleaner thru them.

    An Alternative Technique to Avoid Tongue Bite

    I've never experienced tongue bite but for whatever reason I cannot distinguish the various flavors and essences that many describe when smoking. The various tin notes are discernible to me but when packed and lit they all pretty much taste the same ? ? ? I've tried filter versus no filter...

    Inherited Collection of (mostly) Meerschaum

    If you have no real interest in keeping or smoking them and no one to pass them down to that would appreciate them then I would try to determine which are maybe rare or collectible and try to find getting them either by selling or gifting to someone who would care for and appreciate them. I...
