KENTUCKY CLUB MIXTURE
It's been a while since I smoked this mixture. Years in fact. I opened a tub of this yesterday, and was surprised at how good it is. Last night I sat down with some Cognac and had a pipe full. It was tasty, mellow and more flavorful than I remember. It says on the tub that it's composed of...- maxpeters

USAF Veterans that are Pipe Smokers.
Right now I am smoking a bowl of Nightcap. I was at Clark AFB when Marcos was President. Was stationed twice at Lackland AFB. Got out in '75.- maxpeters

Rooster or Nite Owl?
I start pretty early most of the time. I've concocted my own blend, and call it 8AM. It consists of 1oz. Peter Stokkeby's 315 Black Coffee, mixed with 2 oz. Boswell's Pipers Pleasure. Most of my smoking though is in the evening when I move towards the English blends.- maxpeters

Pipe Shape Suggestions
I would say the trusty, lovable, never get tired of, pot. That shape's been around a long time. For a reason. When I get tired of smoking all of my apples, bulldogs, oom pauls, pokers etc.etc, and just want a good comfortable,relaxing smoke, I bring out one of my pots and enjoy.- maxpeters

Oom Paul Question
I have several Oom Paul pipes, and they all smoke well. I don't know if Paul Kruger was a son of a bitch or not, but he was re-elected president three times, and after he died he was brought back to South Africa and given a hero's burial. Evidently the South Africans liked him. I was just... -
Autumn, Phantoms and Calabashes
I think my house may be haunted. There, I've said it. Nothing bad by any means, but something is there. It's an old house. When it was built, Victoria still ruled the British Empire, William Mckinley and Teddy Roosevelt occupied the White House, and men still wore starched collars. Why do I say...- maxpeters

Am I defective because I don't like sandblasted pipes?
I like 'em all. Sandblast and rusticated, as well as smooth. I don't like partially carved, or rusticated pipes, because they just scream badly blemished bowl to me, but fully done, they appeal just as much as smooth.- maxpeters

Mixture 79 box pass
Hell warren, I still smoke Middleton's Cherry, Walnut and Sugar Barrel on a regular basis. I also have a tub of Kentucky Club Mixture I dip into from time to time. The old times are still here for me. You should try them again. If you can get them. I don't know if that makes me dumb, but I sure...- maxpeters

What are your experiences with a Craig Ashton pipe?
Can't answer the OP's question about newer Ashtons. All of mine were from Bill Taylor's era, but as for size, I think the LX is about a Dunhill group 6. I've always prefered Ashton's xxx size. Photos show an Ashton LX Bulldog on top, a group 5 Dunhill below. Not too much difference in the...- maxpeters

Why do you prefer a squat bowl?
philobeddo, I agree. I don't dedicate a pipe to any particular type tobacco. And I have quite a few different style pipes. I've tried to see if there was any difference in bowl shape and tobacco type the past, and I couldn't tell. Maybe I'm just not sophisticated enough to notice . Bango, I... -
Pigskin pipes: wether to be bare or some leather
I have a Savinelli Cricket pipe that I smoke on a regular basis. I've had it for almost 6 years, and it has held up well. I also have an older Longchamp made in France, but it needs a new stem. I wouldn't expect a pipe company to cover a nicely grained pipe in leather, but I think the briar used...- maxpeters

Favourite First Smoke Of The Day
A mixture of my own. Boswell's Piper's Pleasure, mixed with about 25% Sutliff's Coffee blend, and just a touch of Carter Hall. Smooth and rich. Taste just like it smells, like you just jumped into a cup of Folger's Coffee.- maxpeters

Tobacco reviews in general
A lot of tobacco reviews, I take that back, MOST tobacco reviews, leave me scratching my head. What, I ask myself, did I just read? The reviewers go on and on about the cut and color of the leaf, it's burning characteristics, the beginning emergence of this or that particular leaf, charring...- maxpeters

Strang. What....
In all fairness, I must apologize to Herr Motzek. Unfortunately Motzek's Strang was the first blend of the day that I smoked before writing my post. Since, I have smoked a couple of my regular blends, and they also tasted like hell. I must have come down with a cold or something, as my sense of...- maxpeters

Strang. What....
I recently received 2 ropes of Strang tobacco from Herbert Motzek in Germany. It was very damp when I received it, so I let it dry out for 3 days before I cut it up and rubbed it out. Still seemed a little too moist, so I let it dry for another day. This evening I filled a pipe with this stuff...- maxpeters

Your first pipe smoking role model
My great grandmother. She lived in a little house on the side of a hill in W. Virginia. She used to sit in a rocker on the front porch and smoke a pipe as she was knitting or breaking green beans or whatever. Always had a small basket on her lap doing something or the other. And a pipe clenched...- maxpeters

Pipes and Cigars Policy ?
"I'm not surprised that a white painted pipe would do that. Even meerschaum darkens from use." Well, I was thinking that I've seen many many Kaywoodie white briar pipes being sold on the estate market. And some of them show signs of being smoked a lot. Without anything happening to the finish...
