My First Peterson
Christmas in August for me! I decided to splurge and picked up a Peterson Christmas Pipe 2014. This is my first Peterson, and I could wait to try it. Thanks to smokeybear's recent review I picked up some Villiger After Dinner and had some the other night. Truly delightful. It is amazing how...- buffalopat

Re-staining a Rusticated Pipe
Hey everyone, I decided to try my hand at restoring an estate pipe. Picked up a pipe for $6 on ebay that looked interesting, but the only downside is that it has a God-awful dark stain. The pipe is rusticated, so I was curious as to how difficult it will be to sand down to re-stain it and if...- buffalopat

Rough Week
So, I know many of you saw my post about the car accident my wife was in, and my vehicle being a total loss. I just got a phone call about that my grandmother passed away about an hour ago. She was the last of that generation of my family. It was not completely unexpected as she was in...- buffalopat

Preparing Tobacco
So I took the advice from the forum and got a tin of Escudo Navy Deluxe to try. I've only smoked ribbon and flake, so I have no idea what to do with this spun-cut tobacco. How exactly am I supposed to prepare this for smoking?- buffalopat

Smoking Indoors
I ask this because yesterday I trekked out to the garage to sit in a reclining zero gravity chair and enjoy a bowl while watching it rain. When I was heading out, my wife asked me if it was okay to smoke a pipe inside the house. I am tentative because I have two young kids (3 and 1), but most...- buffalopat

Question About the Amount of Smoke
I was curious about something. I have had a couple of bowls of HPCS Trout Stream and have found it very pleasant (sweet and tangy on the draw, distinct butterscotch notes while retrohaling). I have, however, noticed that I don't get very much smoke in terms of volume. Draw is fine, pipe stays...- buffalopat

Giving New Tobacco a Fair Shot
Hey everyone, I literally just bought my first pipe and I am starting out brand new with pipes and pipe tobacco. I have smoked cigars for years and would say that I have a fairly well-defined palate. I know with cigars that you can have a bad smoke due to any number of reasons so I would...- buffalopat
