    Recommendation for Returning Pipe Smoker who Loves Cigars

    In the English/Balkan category, I recommend Red Rapparee from Rattray’s only because one of the cigar folks at Smoking Pipes (Taylor Caldwell, I think) compared it favorably to smoking a cigar. I personally like Habana Daydream from C&D, which has cigar leaf and a little Latakia as a condiment...

    Sherlock Holmes

    Wasn’t aware of this detail. I wonder if the blend was something like Gawith‘s Kendall Dark: https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipe-tobacco/gawith-hoggarth/kendal-dark/product_id/4023 I purchased a 2oz sample years ago and still have finished it because of how strong it is. Somehow knowing that SH...

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    I’m stoked to smoke some on a walk tonight. Hopefully works well in the cold. And I just put in a purchase with a friend for two more tins to put away for another 5 years.

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    Mad Fiddler flake from C&D. Recently mentioned in the SP mystery review. I just had to open my 5 year old tin and smell it for myself. The aroma tells me this might be the perfect Christmas season blend.

    Not Looking Likely That Seattle Pipe Club Will Be Back On The Market?

    cool sign. the fact they went through the trouble of making such a fantastic sign, only to be subsequently 86’d (by STG), is odd. who is behind their marketing dept?

    Taking My Leave

    Sad to see you go Mr Embers. You are a national treasure. Hoping that circumstances change, most especially for the sake of your financial and psychological sanity and health, and that maybe you can stay around or come back. God bless you and all those close to you!

    November is fast approaching anyone excited to try and nab thanksgiving day by L.J peretti?

    I smoked a bowl last year, compliments of Jake @SmokingMedic. It was excellent. Tempted to try buying some, especially since discovering how much I like some of their other blends.

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

    L. J. Peretti Royal Mixture in a Dr. Grabow Grand Duke. No idea about its age or provenance or ownership, but is well-used and likely well-loved. It came with a few other pipes in various states of usability and a carousel stand for 6 pipes.

    Proposed UK tobacco ban

    say what you want about Muslim countries, but they’d probably be among the last to ban tobacco

    TAD Acquisitions 2025

    I just looked up the mixtures you mentioned in the Burley section of the website and saw that they are literally called “No Name” and “Original Mixture”, which is hilarious. To be honest, I don’t gravitate toward burleys and aromatics, though I can enjoy them on occasion. Maybe someday I’ll get...

    TAD Acquisitions 2025

    My first order from L.J. Peretti Co. I smoked exactly one bowl of Cambridge Flake and found it so satisfying that I had to get an 8oz tin, plus 4oz bags of Royal, Tashkent, and Ampersand Flake, since they all come highly recommended.
