    Peterson Break In

    Do you find Petes much more difficult to break in than other pipes. Currently trying a New Peterson Atlantic, like all Peterson pipes I own, the first month is a truly horrible experience. The pipes give off a bitter metallic taste. Thereafter, they smoke like a dream. Never experience this...

    JF Germain Brown Flake

    According to Tobacco Reviews.com Orlik Bullseye was discontinued in late 2013. Yet every online retailer in the UK is fully stocked of the stuff. Is it that the discontinuation is for the US only?

    Lane 1Q European Equivalent

    I have not traditionally been an aromatic smoker. I have always found European aros to have a chemical bitter tangy taste to them. Having read so much on here about 1Q by Lane I ordered some from 4Noggins. It was surprisingly good and I enjoyed it has a change of pace smoke. I then began to look...

    Pipe Tobacco Tin Art

    Reviewing a post yesterday, I noticed the artwork on the new Gaslight tin. It captured my imagination. It also got me thinking about the subject of tin art. Now the more cynical may think it to be a marketing ploy and, to much an extent, it is. That being said, we all market to some degree...

    Presbyterian Mixture

    I cracked a tin of Presbyterian Mixture yesterday. Smoked 4 bowls so far and I have to say its the strangest tobacco I have smoked. I am torn between yes I like this and no I hate this. It seems like an enigma, sweet yet sour, smooth yet somewhat raw. Any thoughts?

    I have just loaded my Peterson System 307 with a flake of Germain's Rich Dark Flake. According to many this is the UK equivalent to Stonehaven both of which are produced by Germain. Has anyone smoked and compared both? RDF is a firm favourite of mine.
