    Peterson Flake vs Royal Yacht Mixture

    ^^This. I love RY and I like PF. Flake is the much younger, little brother in strength of flavor and strength of nicotine. It is smooth and friendly but can leave me wanting a bit more than it has to offer. Don't let the negative comments about Royal Yacht steer you away. You should give it...

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2025?***

    Been a mostly pipe-free winter and spring. Now letting them see the light of day and heat of the match again. Opened up a tin of McConnell Scottish Flake from 2019 to kick things off. Long been a fan of their Scottish Cake, but their flake was new to me. Really nice & smooth smoke.

    Tobacco For Folks Who Sit Around A Camp Fire

    I like a full, hearty blend in such situations. MacBaren HH Old Dark Fired or HH Bold Kentucky. I also second a previous recommendation of Irish Flake or Rattray's Sterling Flake.

    The name is a misnomer. It is not a flake. Not even close. There are some chunky bits, so I suppose you could get away with calling it a broken flake. But that didn't matter to me. When I bought it originally, I really liked it fresh. As a blend(?) of bright virginias, it had some really nice...

    Spotted...In The Wild!

    Just watched Devil in a blue dress. Enjoyed the scenes of a shop with codger blends stacked on the wall behind the counter. Tubs of Prince Albert, Granger, Velvet, Kentucky Club, Half-n-half. Cans of Prince Albert and Velvet. Nostalgia I suppose. This is the sort of pipe stuff I'd like to see in...

    Nearing the end of a tin of Opening Night, I started looking for the next Virginia to smoke. I pulled out a jar of SG Medium Virginia Flake from 2010. Boy is this stuff tasty.

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2024?***

    Just finished a bowl of a mix of leftover bits and pieces from previous bowls of Sunbear and Blockade Runner. I'm a fan of both but this mix of the two was better than either alone. If you've got both, give a mix a try...

    Been really enjoying some 2010 OGS. Don't get me wrong. It's nice fresh. But If you've got some in your stash, forget it about it for awhile. I think you be glad you did.
