    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    Celebrating the beginning of Advent with some Peterson Irish Flake in a Chris Askwith billiard. (Quickly becoming one of my favorite pipes! Gorgeous blast and a truly perfect shank transition… just lovely to look at.)

    Questions on Virginia Blends

    If you've smoked FVF and didn't enjoy it, not because it's a fickle bastard but because the flavors weren't to your liking, then I don't expect you'd enjoy most straight VA blends. I'd say stick with what you like!

    Ah nice—mine is probably the 03, so very similar tastes there!

    Opinions on the Prince Shape

    What's the shape number on that Peterson? It looks a heck of a lot smaller than any of the Peterson Prince shapes that I'm familiar with, so I'm assuming it's a new one I haven't heard of yet!

    Hello from New Hampshire

    Welcome from San Diego! Ain't nothing wrong with a bit of tobacco hoarding, and don't let anyone tell you different!

    Unlikely to Ever Get to Try Penzance

    To this point, if OP ever gets his hands on some, he'd probably be better off reselling it and using the funds to buy a half ton of some other blend! :LOL:

    Unlikely to Ever Get to Try Penzance

    I'll second Plum Pudding. It's not really analogous to Penzance but I find that it scratches a similar itch for me. Also FWIW Penzance is great but not that great. I'd say in 2024 it's not worth the stress (mashing the refresh button once a year!) nor the expense (paying God knows what on...

    Also while I'm here, what the heck are meer chips? 😄

    Good Way to Prepare GH flakes?

    I'm having trouble wrapping my head around this grinder thing, probably because my only familiarity with those kingtop contraptions is from friends who are into the "other leaf" using it to absolutely pulverize things into a fine dust, and that sounds like an awful way to smoke tobacco. 😅 Can...

    Sitting in the rain (under a canopy!) smoking some Esoterica Margate in a Mark Tinsky bent bulldog.

    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    Finally got around to polishing the band on my Peterson Rosslare 120; now enjoying the shine while smoking some Irish Flake!
