What It "Smells" Like
Have you tried briarworks sweet tea? I think it hits all 3 of the “wow” points. I am only a little into pipe smoking, but really like that blend.- donkeykong

Do You Use A Leather Pouch?
I’ll only say that when someone tries to pick on me for my attire/accessories.... most of them are single twenty somethings living paycheck to paycheck trying to prove a point. It’s jornally in front of a small crowd & they normally have put their foot in their mouth as a result.... it’s not...- donkeykong

Do You Use A Leather Pouch?
<p>I’m grateful for this thread. I’ve been using my leather “man purse” which is ok at best, but I find myself lifting around all of my pipes and all of my tobacco. If anyone messes with me about the “man purse” I’ll ask them how many kids they have. Odds are it’s less than four so I tell them...- donkeykong

Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes
It’s been a little while since I’ve posted here, but farm life & a new job have made it difficult to as much as keep up with the stuff I want to do yet alone what I need to do. Anyways I was excited to have struck an eBay deal for my birth year pipe in a Dunhill shape that speaks to me. I ended...- donkeykong

Silicone Cloth?
I'll preempt my question with "this might be silly and I am a noob" but what about olive oil? Was it dunhill or ashford that I read soaked their briar in olive oil for 15 days prior to a drying cycle? My thoughts go to olive oil because of how natural it's supposed to be...- donkeykong

do all petersons come with a tool?
So... today I picked up my first Peterson... I believe its the ebony series. It's "the system" and its stamped "307". Ive been lusting after it for nearly 3 weeks. I went into the shop to visit it, had an honest look at some straight bulldogs from peterson, savelli and the owner brought out an...- donkeykong

Smoke Rings, Again
aquadoc, best way I can describe is to fill your mouth with smoke and make your lips into an "O" shape keeping your face sort of tight... then you move your jaw in a quick jerk type motion to puff a little smoke out.. I keep my tongue tight to the bottom of my mouth and move my jaw a little...- donkeykong

Not sure if this is General, but I just saw the peterson tool and now I want one. Is it included with every new peterson or only the high end pipes?- donkeykong

Smoke Rings, Again
sorry to resurrect this thread... but I have smoked cigarettes and cigars on and off (more so off) since turning 18. I have never accidentally blown a smoke ring, but can easily puff them out on demand. Am I missing something here?- donkeykong

Nosewarmers, hate?
*whips all 3" out she says "who do you think you're gonna please with that thing?!" Reply "me" Joking apart, I'm glad I read this thread. I am without a doubt a clencher. I'll have to get a weight on my paronelli at some point. It's not light by any stretch of the imagination, but I figure that...- donkeykong

Looking for a blend with an extremely strong casing
Oh thanks cosmic, now you've got me second guessing giving my cigar smoking brother in law a pipe for christmas.. lol. Joking apart, I think his (similar to mine) OCD type of "I like shiny things and I like hobbies that involve stuff" would enjoy pipe smoking. Apparently he has quite the...- donkeykong

What is rubbing out and how does it affect flavor?
Wow! Thanks for the responses. I didn't realize that rubbing out applied to plug tobacco (or rolls or strips etc) the links were great, and I have a few more hours of reading!! And after rereading the title, taken out of context it sounds really bad lol... I hadn't stopped to consider that prior...- donkeykong

What is rubbing out and how does it affect flavor?
I'm sure there will be a hundred comments in jest from what i've seen with you jokers... but as a noob; I keep reading about "rubbing out" the tobacco and letting it sit for a bit on a piece of paper or whatnot.. Ive been smoking Lane 1Q and Plumcake and found letting it sit for a bit, or...- donkeykong

Looking for a blend with an extremely strong casing
I am a new pipe smoker so take this with a grain of salt... but I started by looking for something that my wife would really enjoy the smell of, and very quickly am finding that I have to just enjoy this for me... but I was handed the Peterson Connemara Black in one cigar shop and I think it was...- donkeykong
