    Peterson St. Patrick’s Day 2023

    Certainly, I guess it sort of depends on your definition of ''too high''. Back when I first started, I thought £100 was too expensive. In fact, I had to get drunk in order to order my now favorite pipe: The Peterson smooth Tankard. In all actuality, any pipe could be considered ''overpriced''...

    Peterson St. Patrick’s Day 2023

    Was really interested to buy the smooth 106, but £190 is a bit too expensive for me. the rusticated costs 120, and the sandblasted 145. Quite sad, but 100 is my limit, otherwise I just see it as a waste of money, especially when you're currently unemployed hahaha. Edit: Rusticated costs 107...

    Autumn Evening—No Taste?

    Hello, again, everyone! I thought I'd do an update after leaving the tobacco alone for a couple of weeks. Today I gave it a new shot, and I packed it incredibly loosely. FYI I also tried Connoisseur's Choice a few days back in the same pipe, and I didn't find it that flavorful, but Autumn...

    Poker Pipes Without Carved Bottom?

    Well with the price I can't really justify buying another one of the exact same type. Maybe if they release a limited edition one I could buy it, but otherwise I'm not really keen on doing it.

    Poker Pipes Without Carved Bottom?

    Hello, again! I just wanted to ask you all a question about poker shaped pipes. I have a Peterson Tankard which is currently my favorite pipe out of the 4 pipes I currently own. It was also my first expensive pipe as well as my first Poker. I really dig the way it looks and it has turned me...

    Throw out Disgusting Tobacco?

    I like it mostly because of the name and tin art, but also because when I first started pipe smoking I kept watching Bradley from Stuffandthings reviewing it and I got obsessed with it. When I first got my hands on it, it was certainly tasty, but I won't lie, it does taste similar to cigarettes...

    Throw out Disgusting Tobacco?

    So how do I remove the smell from the jar afterwards? Can I just clean it with tap water?

    Throw out Disgusting Tobacco?

    Maybe I shall, better than throwing it out, I would guess.

    Throw out Disgusting Tobacco?

    Title edited. Rule 9, please read! -jpm Hello! So I have this blend called ''Liberty'' by Dan Tobacco which features an extremely pungent orange-like casing that completely ruins the blend for me. I've tried adding some Sutliff Pumpkin Spice and even some crushed up cigarettes, but the...

    Autumn Evening—No Taste?

    So it's been a week, and I decided to try a couple of bowls of it today. I packed it using the Frank method, or at least my version of it, and I kept it in my mouth and sipped it. The maple is clearly there, but I still find it rather concealed. I will probably get a tin of it as soon as...

    Autumn Evening—No Taste?

    After reading some more on the internet, I found out that Autumn Evening is rather prone to bad batches. Maybe I should order a tin and hope for the best.

    Autumn Evening—No Taste?

    Yeah I think I will let it rest in the jar for a while, but I've also heard that storing aromatics takes away the flavoring, and considering it's already weak, I fear what a few months of jarring will do to it.

    Autumn Evening—No Taste?

    Well isn't that rather counter-intuitive? The funny thing is that I've watched quite a few reviews of this blend where they are puffing away yet still taste it, which makes me suspect that I got a bad batch, or that it dried out in the ziplock bag for a month en route to me. I sort of regret...

    Autumn Evening—No Taste?

    Well that didn’t do much, except giving me a smoky background. Better than hot air, I guess. BTW what do you guys mean with smoking slow? Infrequent puffs or long, slow draws?

    Autumn Evening—No Taste?

    I'm drying it right now and will try it in my English-dedicated pipe, because I think my aromatic pipe is f**d up for some reason.
