***What Are You Smoking, August 2021?***
Currently, Wilke No.5 in a dedicated Grabow Savoy, of the smooth bent variety. As I’ve oft remarked, an underrated blend in an underrated pipe. Currently, 2015 LNF in a dedicated Sav….- Perique

***What Are You Smoking, August 2021?***
Previously, Wilke 184 in a Stanwell No.11. Currently, Escudo in a dedicated VaPer pipe that’s been ever-so-slightly ghosted by dry Viprati Cavendish. The result is quite good, in another Stanwell, 4-paneled horn, brass band.- Perique

***What Are You Smoking, August 2021?***
Wilke No.5, an underrated blend IMHO, in a Grabow Savoy, smooth, bent. An underrated pipe, IMHO. My accompaniment is Tennessee Honey with a dash of Skrewball. An outstanding combo for those whose tastes lean in this direction.- Perique

***What Are You Smoking, August 2021?***
This evening I have bucked traditional wisdom, rather, rolling from strongest to lightest. Started out with Wilke Shipmate in a Stanwell No.11. Followed up with Viprati in a Bjarne Nielsen handmade ball/tomato hybrid experiment. Currently sipping on Classic Burley Kake in a Foreverstemmed...- Perique

Wilke Pipe Tobacco
As a long-time Wilke smoker, it’s tough to pick my favorite blends. But here goes, in no particular order: No.10: Sadly discontinued but among the best of the best Balkan blends. Outrageous. Ive got a bit jarred up, but wish I had bought a literal ton. If you have some, want to sell, and can...- Perique

Luxury Navy Flake
Probably the best value in pipesmoking today. Excellent fresh, yet can be aged for many years, with increasing interest. This is my second or third most “cellared” blend. Pounds of the stuff in jars. The best VaPer? probably not, though no damn slouch. The best value? Probably yes. Five years...- Perique

***What Are You Smoking, August 2021?***
Previously, Wilke No.184 in an Italian Stanwell No.11. (non che ci sia qualcosa di sbagliato in questo) Currently, recent vintage Cairo in a Peterson 106- straight Shannon billiard, tiger striped, simple and nice. The drink is Basil Hayden dark rye, small rocks, great pairing. One day I will pop...- Perique

If You Smoke Aromatics Is It The Tobacco You're Enjoying ?
Really depends on what one means by “aromatic”. It’s a broad field. Are we talking Captain Black or are we talking Wilke 191? Etc. Most mass market aromatics, frankly, suck. Many American boutique blending house’s aromatics (Wilke, Perett, Uhle) are fantastic. Many Scandi aromatics occupy the...- Perique

A Habit for the Wealthy? Aged Smokes?
More than one thing can be true at the same time, whether you’re on a budget or a “Wealthy” pipe smoker. 1) buy the best pipes and tobacco you can afford, whatever that may be. 2) you can’t put a price tag on your happiness. 3) cellar today because years hence tobacco will certainly be more...- Perique

***What Are You Smoking, July 2021?***
Previously, Wilke No.184 in a pearwood bent billiard. Dinner break for a little charcuterie board with a gorgeous Rioja (R. Lopez de Heredia Vina Cubillo Crianza 2011) - an ass-kicker of a wine and an absurd value at this price point. Much water swishing ensued. Gotta cleanse that palate...- Perique

***What Are You Smoking, July 2021?***
Previously, Wilke 184 in a Stanwell No.11. Currently Cairo, in a Pete Shannon Billiard. i used to make fun of people who wouldn’t smoke inside because of their wives or their whatevers. Then I moved, a few years ago, into a log home, and decided indoor smoking probably wasn’t the best idea. Now...- Perique

***What Are You Smoking, July 2021?***
Previously, Wilke No.5 in a Grabow Savoy. Currently at the half way mark of some Viprati in an old (Danish) Stanwell No.204, Brass Band, with a blast like the high seas. Looks a lot like this, but with the old-school Stanwell double-brass band…- Perique
