    Found Hidden Treasure

    Yes I know all the major blends from Dunhill will be released under the Peterson blend. If my info is correct it will happen after the second half of September. I am already prepared to order them all (for testing purpose of course :) ), but I am still happy that I found this 2 originals. I...

    Found Hidden Treasure

    Yeah, it looks like the hosting site is crap. I've put it in a different location: It's a tin of De Luxe Navy Rolls and one of Standard Mixture.

    Found Hidden Treasure

    Hi, Last week I was visiting Bratislava (Slovakia) and while I went into a tobacco shop to buy cigarettes for my wife, I found this 2 tins sitting there alone in the pipe tobacco section: From their bar code I concur that they were produced in January 2017, so they are already aged for almost 3...

    Thanks mso489, great tips.

    Peterson University Flake Too Strong for Me?

    Thank you guys for all the feedback. I think you are all right, I was probably on an empty stomach. I'll revisit it at a later date. Currently the flakes are in a mason jar, so they might as well stay there for a while. P.S. The Irish Flake I have, will slowly age in their sealed tin :)

    Peterson University Flake Too Strong for Me?

    Thank you for your answer. I am actually only puffing, I am not inhaling the smoke. As I've read it in other places as well, it might have happened due to the fact that I didn't really have a proper meal, just some snacks while wathing a game. I'll try to avoid it next time.

    Peterson University Flake Too Strong for Me?

    Hi guys, I've picked up pipe smoking about a year ago. For a few years before that I've puffed cigars and up until 2009 I was a heavy cigarette smoker (~9 years). So I am by no means a stranger to nicotine. However, I find University Flake too strong for me. The first few flakes a few months ago...

    Re-moisture dried out tobacco

    I've just ordered a 6 pack of Ball Mason Jar 8oz from Amazon. Hopefully they are better than what I have. I've assumed an 8oz jar is enough for a 50g tin tobacco.

    Re-moisture dried out tobacco

    Well, I've smoked a bowl. It was a great experience, just like I remembered. I've got a bit of tongue bite at the beginning but it faded out quickly. Love this English (or better said Latakia bases) mixture. Taking into account that it will be a while until I'll smoke this blends again (it's not...

    Re-moisture dried out tobacco

    Thanks Michael. I am about to smoke a bowl right now, so I'll let you know later how it tastes. However I am sure it's dried out. The tobacco crumbles between my fingers when I squeeze it. It's been in that jar since last summer...

    Re-moisture dried out tobacco

    Hi guys, I am storing my tobacco from opened tins in jars, but I am sure they are not 100% air tight (even though it does have a rubber seal): I've got an almost full tin of Peterson Old Dublin that has definitely dried out. I am trying to revitalize it by adding, into my the jar, my old cigar...

    Peterson's Saint Patrick Day 2019 Pipes

    Thanks anthonyrosenthal. You enjoy yours as well. I was luck the way I've ordered it. I actually went to the shop to order tobacco, and there I saw them, in all their beauty. I've recently bought another Peterson (Sterling Silver Army 999) so I wasn't planning on getting one soon, but I just...

    Peterson's Saint Patrick Day 2019 Pipes

    P.S. At least on the description of both on-line shops I've checked was stated that they are filter ones. So... I'll updated my post later to let you know if I've got a filtered one or "The System" :)
