    Jim's C&D Folklore Review.

    Committing to 1 lb of an unknown is dicey, so thanks Jim. But..... My latest order from smokingpipes is being held at customs - pretty sure a 1lb block would drive them insane. Even though I love Orientals and Jeremy has done some interesting things with them lately, I'm a bit on the fence...

    Peterson Pub Pipes?

    Many years ago a South African cricketer was embroiled in a scandal after making deals with bookmakers to fix test matches. When questioned about his actions he apologetically stated “the Devil made me do it”. Well gentlemen - one terracotta Pub Pipe is en route to me from SP.com (and to think...

    Solani Aged Burley Flake

    I haven’t given this tobacco enough respect. I usually walk while smoking - nature of where I live, and think this does a disservice to less full flavoured tobacco..... I also use ABF to break in pipes- as it makes a decent cake without a ghost. I recently decided to break in my 2021 POY...

    Peterson Pub Pipes?

    I have a House Pipe - it’s a beast, but a lonely beast. I have also completely blown my pipe budget. So as luck would have it, SP.com posted a pair of rather lovely looking terracotta Pub Pipes. Now they look like a classic Peterson Oom Paul, and considering my origins, they have a strong...

    Peterson St. Patrick's Day 2022

    I grabbed the only D20 I could find - 6am today on sp.eu Seems they didn’t make many, but I love the stack. Just need to find a replacement stem for that ghastly green thing......

    The blue seems to make a wicked cake for me. Great for breaking in a Virginia dedicated pipe.

    Esoterica Tobacco

    The hunt is half the fun. The prices Esoterica fetches on the secondary market is impressive, which drives the buying frenzy when a drop comes. Folks around here are pretty good about letting others know when a retailer has some. The more tuned in you are, the better luck you will have...

    Mylar Switch (Ad Nauseum)

    A number of threads touch on this topic, so at the risk of boring y'all,..... Actually, a member asked me for some details of my system, so I thought I might show you here. The jury is out on Mylar vs jars - but I would offer the response of one of my mentors: "likely not better, not worse...

    Esoterica

    I reseal in bags and make fancy labels - so I have OCDC - but my esoterica stays perfect!
