Nice list!
#8 Slices is excellent. Smoked some today in fact. As far as I know there’s nothing else like it. 150th is also great.

Enjoy!

One thing that really stood out was the lack of nippiness, even with the VAs. No slow down signals. Everything was pretty smooth, easy sailing. I've had a few Peretti blends long ago, but didn't remember anything that stuck out about them. I'm sure either 111 or 333 was on that short list. Overall, good stuff.

On first impressions, the #8 was good. I especially enjoyed the 111 and Cuban Mixture in the pipes i had them in. Will give these a few more trips around the mountain in a few other vehicles and draw more definitive conclusions. So far the only one I didn't like was Ampersand. Got too much of a perfumy thing going on for me. Almost reminded me of a lakeland-esque type of vibe. Also, a bit on a light side. Was a fun day. Certainly kept me "busy." No time for the small stuff, like working on my current project.

I don’t love Ampersand either for the same reason. I also didn’t care for Boston Flake because I found it boring unlike London Flake which I love.

What's the history behind this blend? Did you reach out to Sutliff to get it made?

Stopped by Boswells over the weekend. Told myself I wouldn’t buy a new pipe but couldn’t resist the Minnie ball pipe.

Nice tray!

Thanks! It's almost too fancy, for me, but I needed a pipe specific ashtray with a cork.

Your username cracks me up! LMAO

Stopped at Boswell’s on my way home dropping my daughter off at school and picked up some tobacco today!

Got in Bright Cr Flake from another piper here. WOW the sugar crystals are nice.

Another tiny tad...

Another mini-tasting adventure today. 2 new to-try tins and a few others to add to the cellar stash. JimInks made the Steamworks sound interesting, so i snagged one and figured i had to make the postage worth it.

 

[FurCoat]

Well I went ahead and did it. I ordered a tub of Captain Black Grape. My cellar rejoices. Added a couple of tins of Steamworks and Cobblestone Hiking for free shipping.

very nice! one of my favorite sticks was always the partagas serie p no.2. But these smaller ones are a nice little taste o the region as well. The only mille fleurs i have currently are of the RyJ variety. Only a couple years old and they start getting good. One advantage to the smaller sticks. haha
