    Really Hot Smoke

    I wouldn’t call a Peterson a cheap briar. Okay, it’s not a Dunhill but it wasn’t exactly cheap to me.

    Folding And Stuffing Flakes

    Yes, you got it right, this was my first attempt. I’ll try it with a different baccy as you suggest. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

    Really Hot Smoke

    I was sipping using the breath method. I’m starting to think that the folding and stuffing method is probably better for a larger pipe. Although I can get a good draw I’m thinking after what you say it might still be too tight. I’ll try rubbing the rolls out in the future. Thanks

    Really Hot Smoke

    No, this one was definitely not too wet.

    Really Hot Smoke

    It is rusticated. It’s this small Peterson

    Really Hot Smoke

    No, definitely not too wet in this case.

    Starter Tobacco

    I’d just chip in, you need to forget cigars completely. Pipe smoking is a totally different experience. It’s far more subtle than a cigar could ever be. If you come at pipe smoking from this angle you’ll love your pipe but if you want pipe smoke to be anything like a cigar you’ll be...

    Folding And Stuffing Flakes

    Even though the draw was easy the baccy dried like a brick. I literally had to break it up to get it out. I didn’t think I’d overpacked it but obviously I must’ve done.

    Folding And Stuffing Flakes

    I just had a bloody awful smoke of 1792 Flake. Usually I rub it out and let it dry for about 15-30 minutes but yesterday I read something about folding and stuffing for a different flake experience. I didn’t dry the flake and just folded and packed the pipe. I just could not keep it alight...

    Really Hot Smoke

    I recently got a small barrel Peterson “specialty“ pipe for shorter smokes. Today I decided to smoke some Peterson De Luxe Navy Rolls in it. I used the fold and stuff method and it smoked really nicely. However, the bowl got hotter and hotter until I could no longer hold it and had to hold the...

    Smoking To The Bottom Of The Bowl

    It definitely depends on the tobacco for me. I just smoked a pipe of Ennerdale mixture and got virtually no nicotine buzz.

    Smoking To The Bottom Of The Bowl

    Since starting this thread I’ve gotten a few more pipes 😂 and I’ve really been concentrating on using the breath method and/or sipping the smoke. I don’t get a wet mess in the bottom of the bowl, probably because most of my pipes are filtered and most of the moisture seems to congregate there...

    Ozark Mini Question

    I got hold of an MM Ozark mini primarily as a pipe for my fly fishing forays this summer. I wanted something small and light that would give me about a 10-15 minute smoke when I took a break. I really love this pipe and it’s tiny, and far smaller than I imagined but on my test run with it loaded...

    In Love With My New Peterson

    Wow, what a great collection!

    How long to smoke a bowl?

    It is! Geez, I can totally get where you’re coming from because I used to be exactly the same as you. Things changed for me with 2 things, 1) I started using Peterson's with P-lips and 2) I slowed right down and learned the ‘breath method’. The p-lip directs the smoke to the roof of the mouth so...

    Curry Half and Half

    Aahhhh, so that’s what the guy in Benidorm meant. “Rice AND chips tonight!” 😂😂

    In Love With My New Peterson

    Just enjoying the Hudson. It’s a really gorgeous pipe. I know the P-lip seems to be a love it/hate it thing but I really find it strange that it seems maligned by some folks. It’s really no different to hold in the mouth and smoke than any other pipe I’ve had in the past. I just find the...

    In Love With My New Peterson

    My next Pete was a Sherlock Holmes ‘Hudson’ which I love as well. I just can’t get over the comfort of the Emerald though when clenching. The balance is perfect.

    Smoking To The Bottom Of The Bowl

    The new Peterson Emerald I have will smoke to the bottom of the bowl especially now I’m using the breath method. That’s great with some tobacco I have, like Old Dublin but with my Erinmore it still gets bitter towards the bottom so I just stop. It’s only a tiny bit of baccy I’m losing now.
