Daughters and Ryan
It's probably nearly even at around 2lbs each (weak, I know!), but I smoke less of the Stoved on its own. I got it primarily to use as a blender, so that's the one I'll go with!- khiddy

I do! But do you mean Stoved VA 507-S, or VA Slices 507-C?- khiddy

The Aroma of the Shop
And in re: snuff, if it causes you to sneeze, you're snorting it too quick/too deep. Just like learning to smoke a pipe, you need to ease into it. A light, light inhale, not a snort like you see people doing in films with a rolled up bill and a line of coke. It's a small pinch, either from the...- khiddy

The Aroma of the Shop
Quire: "A set of four sheets of parchment or paper folded in two so as to form eight leaves; any gathering or set of sheets forming part of a complete manuscript or printed book, esp. a gathering formed of one sheet folded three times, so as to form eight leaves. Also: a set of twenty-four or...- khiddy

Received Brand New Peterson pipe From an Authorized Retailer and it Smells Like Medicine
I guess I never noticed. But then I did switch to the ER form a number of years ago, and apparently that version has a reduced aroma. The things one learns! -

I like Ryback quite a bit. Never had any of the older versions, but the modern bagged version is fantastic in a pipe on its own and as part of a blend. It brings the strength. Great for a short smoke break. Two Timer is a burley. That's about all I can say about it, not being a big burley fan...- khiddy

Is a Peterson System Standard Better Than Other Pipes in its Price Range?
I've become a huge fan of Peterson System pipes. I've not tried a deluxe nor spigot, but I'm very happy with the five Standard Systems that I own, with all except the newest one being estate pipes. My very first new Pete arrived last week, one of the reintroduced 309's, in a rusticated finish... -
Penhooker Fans?
I will say that an order I placed with some deeply discounted items shipped out from TP, and when it arrived a few days later, one of the items I'd ordered was simply not in the box, with a note-handwritten on the shipping receipt that "Item not in stock - oversold, sorry!" The refund for the...- khiddy

Penhooker Fans?
LOL. I was actually loading that up in my cart the same way when I got the message that it was all gone. Damn you, @Skippy Piper!- khiddy

Received Brand New Peterson pipe From an Authorized Retailer and it Smells Like Medicine
Metformin has an aroma? I've taken it for a decade or so and never noticed. -
Tonquin Beans
I have purchased tonquin beans via Amazon and infused them in bourbon and rum to use in blending/topping experiments to great effect. Very delicious aroma. But yes, keep them sealed in a glass jar, because if you can smell it through the baggie, you're losing the oils and letting it oxidize too...- khiddy

Skippy's Blend of the Week
Woodchuck Amber is easily my favorite as well. IIRC, it was the first cider to be distributed nationally. It is delicious.- khiddy

Skippy's Blend of the Week
Hey! I recognize that Cordial label! I love these reviews, and particularly appreciate your thoughtful analysis. I have come to love Cordial (I even just got another 8oz via the 20% off sale at SP), but I am a latakiaphile and haven’t yet blown my tongue out as you describe. That said, I had a...- khiddy

Anise / Licorice
I smoked two 5-pack boxes of Avanti cheroots when I was in Rome a few weeks ago, and brought two boxes back with me. I love that flavor and aroma, it smells so classic and sweet.- khiddy
