    A Visit to Peretti’s

    When in Boston, I always plan for a visit to Peretti’s. I had a great conversation with pipe artist Todd Brugman, who showed me some of his beautiful briars, sold me some Tashkent, and gave me a few samples of blends I never tried before.

    What Do You Think About Ken Byron Blends?

    I am working my way through a bunch of Ken Byron ‘s blends. I really like ‘em. I also like how they’re packaged. Opinions? PS: I smoke them all in Meerschaums. Like my friend, the late Fred Bass, I’m a “Meerschaum Man.”

    House of Calabash, Back in Business

    I just read a post from Eva Books (daughter of the late Steve Books) on Facebook (under “House of Calabash”) that she will be producing and selling a selection of tobacco blends that her father had created.

    House of Calabash, Still In Business?

    I just called the House of Calabash to order some tobacco from Steven Books, and their phone number is no longer in service. Does anyone know what's happening there? I know Mr. Books has many fans of his fine blends. I hope all is well.

    Big Ben Pipe Question - Meerschaum Bowl

    Hi - I've always liked those Big Ben pipes, briar with a meerschaum bowl insert, like a small calabash. Does anyone know if the meerschaum used in these pipes is block, or pressed? Thanks!
