    Jim's Wilke Rum and Maple, Lizzie Blood Red English Reviews.

    John, I have tried these blends but so far, I am preferring the Basil Rathbone inspired #515. Tasting that rum flavor while still tasting the Virginas coming through is a very pleasant smoke.

    Do You Really Like to Smoke a Pipe With Filter

    I have both filtered and unfiltered pipes. I predominantly smoke with a filter but I only use the balsa 9mm filters on my pipes that take 9mm. They do not restrict the draw like the barrel filters do. I have several Petersons that take 9mm filters and the balsas work very well.

    If You Were Stranded On a Deserted Island With Only One Tobacco...

    Ok, just for grins, I would have to go with Scotty's Butternut Burley. Would need just a little sweetness to avoid overdosing on coconuts.

    Winter Is Coming... How To Keep Warm While Smoking In The Half-Open Garage.

    I smoke on an outside covered deck. Got a big buddy propane heater on each side of me. Helps take the chill off.

    Peterson or Savinelli?

    I have several of both pipes and only have had 3 pipes that had drilling issues and they were Savinellis. I must have gotten them all. My pipe shop made good on them so no harm done. I have an equal number of Savs and Petersons and love them both.
