    Use same pipe when retrying a tobacco?

    When you guys try a tobacco for the first time and it doesn't go so well (might not have been dry enough, bad packing job, gurgling, multiple relights, etc), when you try that blend again do you use the same pipe as before? I know different pipe shapes, sizes, materials can greatly alter the...

    Had a pretty great day yesterday

    Started yesterday off by waking up to bright blue sky and big, white, puffy clouds. A perfect day for a motorcycle ride with my buddies! The wife made me some from scratch, pumpkin-coconut milk waffles before I departed. A real tasty treat and a fitting breakfast for this cooler, crisp morning...

    Pipes & Cigars Carnivale???

    In my package from the free pipe project I received a Baggie of tobacco labeled "P&C Carnivale". I am really enjoying this blend but can't seem to find anything out about it? It's definitely aromatic with a good vanilla flavor to it. The only thing close on p&c's website is "carnival" from some...

    Birthday Celebration

    So even though my birthday is today, I had a party on Saturday to celebrate. Ordered 50 lbs of fresh steamer clams from Seattle that were flown in Saturday morning, wife made a few loaves of her great grandfather's Italian bread recipe, and roasted 36 ears of fresh sweet corn on some coals in my...

    Cleaning Tobacco Storage Jars

    I have a few mason jars to store tobacco in, and a thought just occurred to me. If you have a blend in a jar for awhile, use it all up and want to put a different tobacco in that jar, do you need to wash it or anything? I know it's glass, but will some of the flavors/characteristics leach over...

    Vacation Observations - Casinos and San Francisco

    So I just got back from a vacation down to Reno/Tahoe/San Francisco and made a few observations. 1. I'd only been to a casino one other time in my life (19 yo in Niagara Falls Canada) and never really thought much of it. I am good enough at losing money without gambling, so it has never...

    Buying Peterson in Ireland vs USA

    So I have some friends that are going to the UK next month for vacation. They plan on spending some time in Ireland (Dublin), so that got my wheels turning. I have been waiting for more information on this pipe to come out for a few months now. Nothing. Emailed Peterson. Nothing. Not sure what...

    Apparently I'm a member now!

    I just noticed that I reached 100 posts and am officially a "member". How important I feel now! lol I've learned a lot in the short time I've been lurking and posting, and can't wait to be able to pass that knowledge onto other newbies once I am more edumacated on the finer points of pipe...

    Blends with same tin/room note and taste?

    I am quickly learning that the smell of tobacco in the tin/container is not necessarily what you will taste or smell once you are smoking it. As a fairly new pipe smoker, this is proving to be kind of challenging in the determination of "what I like". I think that most tobaccos smell good and...
