    Peterson Sweet Killarney

    Peterson Sweet Killarney If you wish to stop smoking then I recommend buying this tobacco..it tastes of nothing and I swapped pipes many times trying to get a good smoke. The tin was a gift from my wife and I thought foolishly that mixing some of my favorite would help only to ruin my favorite...

    Why Storage?

    It may seem a silly question but why not leave it in the tin that the tobacco comes in? Unless i break the seal is it not just as good as in a jar? I admit that a broken seal means it may need storing if it's not being used within a short time but does a screw tin not seal it? We have...

    I'm new back to pipes in the last year and have tried a few mild tobaccos and got on really fine with a Kendal Black Cherry, I'm driving to the tobacconist in the next city at the weekend and was aiming to buy a Peterson Sweet Killarney because it's got good reviews plus it's got a fine room...

    My First Estate Pipe

    Pipe Smoking and Addiction

    Its too early for me to be addicted but its not the nicotine, if that was removed and the taste stayed then I'd be fine with that, but as someone commented above it's the "process" of smoking the pipe that I miss if I don't have a smoke. I'm one that gets relaxation just by getting ready to...

    Peterson Sweet Killarney

    i'm fairly new back to pipe smoking and was looking to buy 50g tin of Peterson Sweet Killarney after reading the write up, I'm willing to take a chance because it reads mild so it will be smoked but has anyone tried it? If so what is your view

    Do I need to break in a new pipe

    Great little ROPP pipe arrived this morning with a smaller bowl than I imagined. It's nice pipe and I'm sure i will have many hours of satisfaction from it. It's Mid-day here and I have some builders in the house but they finish early today to watch the England football game. So as soon as they...

    Do I need to break in a new pipe

    My new pipe should arrive tomorrow, being fairly new to pipes do I need to break it in? Is there anything that I must do to make it a great pipe? Is there something I can do which will ruin it while new?

    Do Pipe Snobs Really Exist?

    its not unlike my other pastime... motorcycles.... there too, people start with a basic kit and if they stay with the hobby they progress to a better quality kit and more expensive bikes. Some see the lesser gear as starter kit where others keep buying the cheaper stuff throughout there lives...

    Road Trip - How Many Pipes?

    Philip said he carries a cob to give away if he finds someone who wants to give it a try. What a great idea, I've never tried a cob but they are the cheapest pipes over here a cost only a few £pounds. I have chatted with people who once had pipes but don't have one now. Here smoking is so...
