Wow, we really got off on the wrong foot. But, I always appreciate a friend that doesn't mind telling me off. I'm here for the same reason and would like it if you'd add me as your friend.
I had read great reviews so I ordered a tin. I was excited to get it so I packed a bowl immediately. Disappointed. It's dried out some and it keeps getting better.
I just tried Peterson Irish Flake. I'm not impressed. The tin note reminds me of chew spit. I don't know a better way to describe it. Pushing past that, I was concerned about it being very strong. I had no problem with the strength and it tastes much better than what it smells like in the tin...
I just wanted to say thank you to Danielplainview and Troutface. They both welcomed me to this forum, and helped introduce me to pipe smoking. I can't say enough about how friendly everyone has been.
Thank you all for your help. I just don't have a lot of money to put into a pipe right now. I am interested in the Kaywoodie brand but I'm having trouble finding a site with new pipes in stock.
