    Pesse Canoe

    I’ve had one of each (oriental, lat 20 and lat 40) and in Canada they come in sealed generic pouches rather than tins. No issues with mold but I also notice what you’re talking about. If I’m honest it‘s kind of off-putting and strange. Feels like how particle board is made in woodworking. To...

    A Little Disappointed in Recent Brulor Purchase

    I’ve learned a lot from this discussion, would’ve figured it was an error like you did as well.

    Mold on Kajun Kake?

    Ive had some tins of C&D that looked not far off what you posted, I put it in a jar and it didn’t progress so I figured it was ok. Smells good, I‘ve smoked almost all of it by now. I think it’s possibly residue from whatever humectant they spray on it but it may very well be mold I have no clue.

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2025?***

    Inaugural smoke of this little Radice clear apple with some Solani aged burley flake.

    Show Us Your Radice Pipes

    First Radice pipe purchase and probably not my last! This little clear apple from Corti just arrived. They had some new arrivals with amazing flame grain but this more modest one stood out to me as a really beautiful shape.

    Feedback Loop Disintegration, Anyone?

    I understand what you’re describing, and I agree about your usage of Critical Thinking as far as it is a learned skill for a specific task. I was intending to respond to the modern attitude that is something like ‘thinking that is not Critical Thinking is to be dismissed as not in touch with...

    Feedback Loop Disintegration, Anyone?

    I agree with you and I think the problem with the way we’re talking about “critical thinking“ here is that it’s somehow in opposition with emotion, or the natural state of human thinking. This kind of definition is a super narrow slice of human rationality that only applies to very technical...

    Anybody Else Super Fascinated by Stanwell?

    This is a good opportunity for me to show off 3 beautiful Stanwells that I was gifted and just finished cleaning up! They were all in fantastic shape but hadn’t been smoked for probably 30+ years so required some sanding and polishing of the vulcanite etc. Theres also a Georg Jensen in the...

    What’s the state of ordering to Canada lately?

    Feel free to DM me rather than reply if you dont want to spoil a good thing, but is anybody in western Canada having any luck with ordering from 4noggins or SP these days? I kind of gave up on it for the last little while because I got sick of losing the roulette game and made my peace with...

    Colognes For Past.

    I recently bought a bottle of Lalique pour Homme Lion and it reminds me a lot of this. It’s a bargain as well.

    2025 Peterson Halloween Pipes Just Dropped

    Grabbed this little beauty. I’m pretty happy with the look, I think its cool.

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    Tempting offer but I just snagged a Halloween 314. Thanks though!

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    Thanks, that helps narrow it down. I think the 314 might be what I’m after.

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    Question for the Pete guys with the Halloween pipes coming out soon - I like my 302 but I’d like a shape that is shorter and hangs closer to the chin. Is the 317 super duper tiny? I know it’s got a much smaller bowl but it’s hard to get a feel for how it hangs (so to speak). I thought maybe 317...
