    Greetings from Tony1958 in Atlanta

    Where you at, Tony? I live over in Decatur, not far from Puff n' Stuff, the most bitching tobacco shop in Atlanta. Must be something in the Atlanta air, I just today ordered 3/4 pound of various Oriental leaf from LeafOnly!

    Good Way to Prepare GH flakes?

    Following up on this if anyone is still paying attention. The grinder has become my preferred method for flakes. Straight out of the jar, no drying, cut flakes to 3/8" - 1/2" pieces, then grind. You can actually customize your grind a bit by only turning it once or twice, you will still feel...

    St. Simons Island, GA

    Yes, Ye Olde Tobacco Shoppe, right on Bay Street at Factors Walk, just above River Street. They have another shop off Eisenhower closer to Oglethorpe Mall. I heard they closed out all their pipes and tobaccos but the website still shows house blends.

    St. Simons Island, GA

    The Georgia coast can cool off very quickly in the evenings, what with the sea breeze. June is not particularly hot, either. July and August can be hot n' sticky but you'd be surprised how many evenings you can enjoy a good smoke outside. Pro Tip: try to find a place on the inland river marsh...

    Apologies. Mods please work your magic.

    WTB: Peterson Army Mount 9mm Fishtail Stem (04/30/2024)

    Hi all, I am looking for a Peterson army mount 9mm fishtail stem. Needs to be a bent so it will fit a 303, XL315, 313, etc. I have several 9mm p-Lip but am finding that I prefer fishtails so I wanted to see if anyone had an extra hanging around. These are all completely interchangeable so I...

    Ennerdale Flake

    I wonder if it would last longer in 1/2oz mylar packets.

    Ennerdale Flake

    Rum Flake is an easy Top 3 G&H blend. It is really something special.

    Ennerdale Flake

    I hit some year-old Ennerdale again tonight and the topping has greatly diminished even though it's been in a mason jar. Still, an absolutely lovely VA flake, never aggressive. I do miss the extra creaminess from the topping.

    Turns Out I Was Packing Too Loose

    Super crispy or shag you can pack it pretty tight.

    Tobacco Discoveries

    Coming from cigars, and about 15 months into pipe smoking, I can agree. When I started with pipes I wanted "a cigar in a pipe" and bought a bunch of cigar blends. As time has gone by, over 1000 bowls later, I'm no longer interested in that taste bomb smoke. Rather, I am really into the variety...

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

    I recently acquired my first Altinay, a big fat rusticated billiard... what a fantastic pipe. Those are both quite lovely.

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

    Two fabulous bowls of Germain's in the Peterson 05: Plum Cake, followed by Brown Flake. I kind of love any tobacco with the word "Brown" in it. Lots of Virginia with a little smidge o' burley hits just right.

    Favorite Morning Blend

    A light aromatic usually hits the spot in the morning. PS1 Natural or 4thGen Morning Blend.

    Converting a non-filter pipe to filter?

    I probably should have been more clear... The XL315 is an army mount, so it was easy to swap an unfiltered stem for one that takes a filter. I personally love smoking with a filter. Just try it a few times, and weigh the filter before and after. It's not unusual for my filter to weigh 0.25 g...

    Any Experience with These Petersons ?

    I love my 303, 313, 05, and XL315 Petersons. The P-LIP really taught me how to smoke a pipe, now everything smokes better, even my fishtails.

    Converting a non-filter pipe to filter?

    Call SmokingPipes and ask them. I had an unfiltered System XL315 that they fitted with a new stem.

    WTB: Germain's Plum Cake (03/28/20204)

    Germain's Plum Cake is one of those tobaccos that hits just right for me: light but not wimpy, with that lovely, organic, wine-like top note. I went to JJ Fox in London where they had a giant jar of Plum Cake and I... inexplicably... decided to buy ONE WHOLE OUNCE... I must have more! Please...

    Buy a 6mm or a 9mm pipe?

    Same here, all filtered. 9mm is the best.
