    Best Blending Perique?

    It is really good. I’d been smoking it for the past 3 weeks to determine if I should cellar RC-01 as a pure red VA. I’ve put away 3 lbs now, with 1 lb mixed with Perique.

    Best Blending Perique?

    I recently used the Sutliff Ts-20 perique to mix with RC-01 red cake. Used an ounce per 8 ounces of red VA, so 11% perique. It’s ribbon cut, so I think it mixes a little better.

    Blind Tasting: Red Virginia

    @Mrs. Pickles , I received my samples fine. I won’t really be able to smoke for a few more days. We are in recovery from the hurricane, with no power. Appreciate the good wishes.

    Chronicling An AliExpress Pipe For Science 2.0: The Re-Chronicling

    Thank for sharing this project. It was fun to follow. I would love to know how that pipe would have smoked. Maybe after you boiled away the bowl coating.

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2024?***

    We had a great turnout at the Houston Pipe Club meeting last night. And had so many blends to try.

    Another fraudulent tobacco site...methinks.

    Thanks for the heads up!

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    I opened an old tin of Dan’s Patriot Flake tonight. Don’t know the year, but it was pre-2008. That’s when I quit smoking regularly, before starting up again in 2020. The flakes are quite thin and uniform. Moisture is ready to smoke.

    Peterson Irish Harp 80s Rusticated Bent Bulldog

    I bought my first Peterson last year. It’s a an Irish Harp sandblast straight billiard. Smokes great. I thing the Irish Harp line is the best value Peterson offers.

    My Lent Regret

    Good for you, @Old_Newby I say enjoy your whisky and chocolate. Next year give up sweets - they don’t have a forum to tempt you.

    Who was born in 1961?

    Mystery solved. Thank you @Ahi Ka for the 1961 GBD pipe pictured below. Very generous. It’s a beautiful and well cleaned up. I like the small size quite a bit.

    Polishing Rusticated / Blast Finishes: Have We Reached a Consensus?

    I also use REN Wax. I apply with a QTip to get into all the crevices. Buff with a cloth. Then buff the crevices with another QTip.

    Herb Grinder and Flake/Twist

    Yes. These are really handy. This is the simplest one I could find - 3 inch inner diameter and no extra screens or chambers.
