    Have Any Blends Gotten Better?

    This is very true indeed, everything can and often will change over time, including ourselves. One example of my own. Before my hiatus Celtic Talisman was one of my regulars, I enjoyed it as did others around me the 'room note'. I don't feel the same with the recent pouch though, can't put my...

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2023?***

    First try of Peterson Irish Flake in my unknown Meer' and I'm loving it. When last chatting with my tobacconist, I asked for a flake I haven't tried yet, "for you it's a no brainer, Peterson Irish Flake, trust me you'll love it" He knows me well and looks after me so I didn't hesitate. And...

    THE Chicago Pipe Show — Battle of the Briar, Pt 1

    I'm thinking it's more like, because they've achieved so much in just an hour And perhaps it was also said with a little jest. I certainly can't see how it would reduce their fans or customers.

    My Visit To The Country Squire

    Happy belated birthday, and sounds like a good way to break up the travel. Every time I hear someone comment on The Squire it's always like this. If we can ever get over to the US they're on my must visit list.

    I've been a little on and off the pipes myself, but only for about 12 years. Welcome from Australia

    Hello. I Need to Chill Out.

    I didn't catch your first post as yet like a couple others, but certainly a very good intro post indeed. 'We can't please all the people, all the time.' Wise words that I know all too well myself. I wouldn't be too scared off bud, not a bad place here, all in. Remember, we're all here because...

    Bite Marks — Or a defect?

    Not for me, for @Law But yes, definitely hope this can be fixed appropriately. I'd be spitting fire personally.

    Bite Marks — Or a defect?

    Nothing against cobs, I have and use some myself. But this is a 2 day old, $650 artisan pipe, not even close to the same realm.

    Bite Marks — Or a defect?

    Decent bit of coin spent, I would be expecting a lot more care personally. Not direct but next best thing. Not a good look for Eltang to be honest, is it. If it was me, I would request refund and not be touching Eltang again after that 'service'.

    Bite Marks — Or a defect?

    Seller refusing this to be a defect is seriously bad form in my books. How can 2 days or 5 bowls honestly be all on the user. Is this from Eltang direct or someone else selling a new pipe of theirs ?

    Greetings From Belfast

    Can I throw a recommendation into the hat? Old Dark Fired, ready rubbed for ease of use. https://www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend/5494/mac-baren-hh-old-dark-fired-ready-rubbed I'm a little biased but it's not a bad suggestion for this situation I feel.

    Seasonal Pipe Switch

    Temperature and humidity would very much influence our experience/choices, look at how much we put into preparation. I didn't mean it to sound like I was discounting it, I just don't get that much of a fluctuation where I live for it to be a big influence, just subtropical, day temp's from...

    Seasonal Pipe Switch

    Not a thing for me either. I don't get the same weather here though, that could have something to do with it.
