    Dunhill Tobaccos Rebranded as Peterson

    Correct, as usual. I know something will be coming out of STG in the way of Dunhill-blend (re-re-blend...) re-issues. I was just curious if anyone had a lead on where this Peterson stuff came from. Like I said - it makes sense. Can't believe just yet that this wasn't someone just having a bit...

    Dunhill Tobaccos Rebranded as Peterson

    Word on the internet street is, this is a doctored photo from reddit. After searching, I haven't found corroboration that they'll be Peterson-branded (though, it seems plenty feasible), the tin art will remain the same, or the specific list of blends. I hope it to be true, as it would make a...

    Breathe smoking Q&A

    Assuming you're clenching when breathe smoking, as opposed to holding the pipe in situ, are your lips sealed around the stem, or is performed with the Clint Eastwood cigar snarl? A: My lips are sealed around the pipe and my tongue is used to quickly plug the stem if I want to retrohale...

    Found Some Mason Jars That Claim to Block 99% of UV Light. Worth the Extra Cost?

    Alright, Serious Question of The Day: Do You Toast Your Bagel, Or Not?

    The boiling of bagels is most often done in an alkaline solution (industrially lye, home kitchen most often baking soda), which promotes browning while baking. Same routine with pretzels. Pennsylvania does this best. Toasted always with cream cheese.

    Transaction Gone Bad - Advice Needed

    ACTUALLY - I just remembered I also included a cob and some other sampler tobaccos as well as a gift. No way I'm sending money without getting that jar back.
