Minimal Happiness Requirements?
If I was truly a minimalist I wouldn't be a pipe smoker, now would I? ;) But to be true to the thread title, if you really forced me to chose, I could be ok with: Moose Marmalade Old Dominion Ellipsis Flake Peretti Omega and ok at least a dozen other blends are you kidding me I just can't do...- BriaronBoerum

Minimal Happiness Requirements?
Still going through new blends and getting to know familiar ones, but let's see, if we're looking mainly at satisfying, easily available smokes: OGS PS LTF and LBF, Marlin Flake MacC Scottish Flake, Peterson University Flake GLP Windjammer, Ellipsis Flake Arango Balkan Supreme, C & D...- BriaronBoerum

What's your 2025 Lazarus blend?
So many blends were gone before I got to try them, and some I didn't bother to try, because why get attached to something that's going away? But of the ones I did try, Watch City Simply Orange and Kringle Flake (2021).- BriaronBoerum

Y’all Are A Bad Influence
I look, and I laugh . . . . and then I look at my desk, and the four or five boxes in the corner, and I think of the other boxes in the basement . . . . right there with you, brother!- BriaronBoerum

Rattray's
To me Marlin Flake is a solid, uncomplicated VaPer, emphasis on the Va. It's not as dark, dank and rich as some other VaPers that go heavy on the Perique, but it's got good flavor; it's topped, but that topping accentuates the leaf. Because it's mostly Va's, I agree that it can get ashy and...- BriaronBoerum

Preferred Shape for Lakeland Blends?
After swearing that Lakeland style blends were totally bad s%$ and absolutely no way not my thing, I, uh, seem to be developing a taste for some of them. And given the inevitability of ghosting whatever they're smoked in, I'm curious if people have a dedicated pipe for them, and if so, what...- BriaronBoerum

Not Looking Likely That Seattle Pipe Club Will Be Back On The Market?

Peretti Burleys
Peretti 333 is unflavored and a very well regarded burley. Blend W has a slight chile spice note that you'll either love or not. Other burleys that I've tried have various degrees of topping, but you might try DD. Ebony is listed as an aromatic, but it has a burley base, I believe, and is an...- BriaronBoerum

Opening A Tin? Show Us!
The blend is really nice stuff, as long as you don't mind a sweet casing on your Va's. An improved OGS!- BriaronBoerum

Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Tobacco - Restock purchases
Bosun Plug and Bob's Chocolate Flake were in my cart as soon as I could get through. I added some Brown Flake aromatic, we'll see what the Lakeland sauce does to me . . . .- BriaronBoerum

***What Are You Smoking, December 2025?***
It took me all this time to realize when you said "Americo", you meant coffee style, not the vermouth and Campari cocktail! Shows you where my tastes run . . . . .- BriaronBoerum

Which no longer produced tobacco blend do you or will you miss the most?
I came to the pipe too late for anything from McClelland, and almost everything from Mac Baren. Like others have said, there are any number of blends that used to be legendary but have fallen from their Olympian heights. But of the ones I have tried, I wish I'd bought WCC Simply Orange when it...- BriaronBoerum

🌟 🎄 🎅 The UnOfficial Official 2025 PM Secret Santa Thread 🎅 🎄 🌟
An unexpected package came from LJ Peretti today, I wasn't totally sure that it was the SS or an order I'd forgotten or they'd sent by accident. Only way to find out is to open it! Inside: A sample of this year's Yuletide, which I really wanted to try but missed the midnight drop, and a...- BriaronBoerum
