    Maigret TV Show Pipe Content

    As dumb as this sounds I did not notice the other tins. I wonder what Four Square blend he liked.

    Here you can see he has a massive tin of the good stuff right on his desk for quick access :sher:

    Different Tobacco, Different Pipe?

    Tasting the other tobaccos you’ve smoked in a pipe is part of what makes pipe smoking fun. That being said, some tobaccos will ghost a pipe bad and if you don’t like that blend, well, you’re gonna be smoking it long after you tossed the pouch in the trash.

    Lekker Smaakelijk: Troost Slices

    Is the PC match blend any good? I’ve never had Troost.

    "Just Get Both",

    I have some advice: give the Esoterica to me! Excellent B&M find. I always hear there are gems out there in the shops but the closest store with any selection is 60 miles and I don’t make it that way very often. I bought some escudo last year that I haven’t smoked. It’s no good? That’s a...

    My 5105 Revitalization Project

    I have an ounce or so of some Murray’s era Dunhill Standard that needs rehydrating. I’ll try a Boveda pack. I’ve had good results just dripping distilled water into a mason jar full of dried leaf and then shaking it. I watch it for a few days and add more water as necessary. Usually like 20-30ml...

    Vintage Tins

    Cool share. Vintage tins are awesome. Fun to see how expressive the old firms were.

    Maigret TV Show Pipe Content

    I loved the Michael Gambon series! Horses for courses as they say. They were smoking those poor pipes hot though for sure. I thought the Aitkins series was good too. I avoided it at first because I figured like all remakes it would be too modern but I didn’t notice any of that. I read the first...

    I’ll have to try it. For the price how could I go wrong.

    Best First English Blend for an Aromatic Smoker to Try

    I know a very long time pipe smoker who mixes BCA and Latakia at varying proportions and loves it. Maybe 90% BCA and 10% Latakia and see how it goes? I’ve never tried it since I don’t keep either on hand but he says it’s like smokey dark chocolate.

    Rattrays Pipe Of The Year.

    Thank you! I thought maybe Italy but apparently not.

    Best First English Blend for an Aromatic Smoker to Try

    So don’t say Pirate Kake? ? In all honesty I second what you’re saying here. HGL is a good cross over English or whatever the cool kids are calling it now.

    Best Pipe Filters

    I started smoking only with 9mm filters about a year ago. Changed my pipe smoking. I had smoked without filters for about 5 years and always had tongue bite. Every single bowl. No matter how cool or slow I smoked it hurt. 9mm charcoal filters have 100% eliminated. To fix the right draw I just...

    Any Good Tips for Cleaning Inside Bowl?

    Is this method more effective than the salt and alcohol treatment?

    Hunting Red VAs and McClelland Wannabes

    This is good to know. I was just gifted a tin of Blackjack and Old Gowrie, both from 2013. I’ve never had either. Eager to try.

    Do You Keep Certain Pipes For Certain Types of Tobacco?

    I agr I agree with this except for Condor. Nothing ghosts like when I have a Condor Moment. I have one Peterson system pipe dedicated to Condor. When I’m all through with my stash I’m going to have the pipe professionally cleaned with an ozone treatment. It’s too expensive to import condor and...
