    B&Ms in Cleveland, OH?

    Thanks for the tip. If I can get over there, I'll be sure to call first and see what they have in stock.

    B&Ms in Cleveland, OH?

    I'll be in Ohio this weekend and am wondering if anyone knows of any tobacconists in Cleveland where I could pick up a couple of tins or maybe even a pipe. Thanks in advance.

    Did I Just See a Peterson Christmas 2021?

    Third time's a charm as I purchased and returned two pipes from this series until I landed on a Smooth Hansom. Sent a Rathbone back because it was a little forward heavy for clenching and a Watson I bought was much too big. This one is just right. Well balanced and surprisingly light despite...

    Amount of Smoke

    That's hilarious. It sounds like you've mastered the art! I'm trying to work on not being so greedy with the smoke and just let the pipe do the work.

    Amount of Smoke

    I aspire to smoke like the Pedaling Piper on YouTube. Half the time I'm convinced he's pulling on an unlit pipe because the smoke is very thin or barely noticeable. He does seem to enjoy this tobacco nonetheless and I'm trying to take a cue from his technique - easy does it.

    High Grade Peterson vs Savinelli Punto Oro vs ???

    I'm partial to Peterson mostly because I prefer their shapes over Savinelli's.

    What Are You Listening To? - October 2021

    I'm a drummer in a rocksteady tribute band here in NYC. In preparation for a gig we have tomorrow night, I've been listening to this sweet tune we're going cover. Willam Bell's 'Everyday will be like a holiday' done by Byron Lee and the Dragonaires from Jamaica - so, we'll do a cover of a cover...

    Olfactory Smokers

    I'm with you. After all, we wouldn't be able to taste without our sense of smell. It's for this reason that tobacco isn't as enjoyable for me on a windy day. All that great, flavor-laden smoke gets blown away before I'm able to 'taste' it with my nose.

    Bob's Chocolate Flake is Glorious

    BCF has quickly become one of my favorite blends. I was lucky to snag a few tins from the latest drop. Though I don't detect an overt chocolate flavor, what I like most about it is the cedar-like and other aromatic wood notes that I pick up and find unique to Bob's, making it a truly singular...

    Hello from NYC

    So, Soho or the Lower East Side prior? Have you been down to Barclay Rex on Pearl St? Great and attentive service there. Though tins come at a premium in the shop, they do sell solid house blends by the ounce and, if you're lucky, you might find a bag of some unicorn Esoterica blends. The last...

    Did I Just See a Peterson Christmas 2021?

    I felt the same way. I was looking forward to their release but after seeing how dark the stains were I just couldn't pull the trigger.

    Gawith, Hoggarth & Co., Laudisi Please Order

    Thanks for the info, sad as it is. I'll have to savor every last bit of the few plugs I have left, or get over to the UK and stock up soon.

    Hoggarth Drop At SP

    Funny how each of us and our tastes are so different. I've tried many Hoggarth offerings and BCF is now my absolute favorite. Does it have a pronounced chocolate flavor? Not in my opinion, but it does have noticeable aromatic wood notes that I really like and haven't found in any other blend. To...

    Hoggarth Drop At SP

    Just picked up some Bob's Chocolate Flake, Bosun Plug, and Coniston Cut Plug. You know the stuff'll go quick!

    Pipe Tattoos

    Interestingly getting my sternum tattooed didn't hurt much at all. Sat straight for about 90 minutes and was surprised when it was done. I guess everyone is different in terms of their sensitivity. I'd guess that the inside lower lip wouldn't be too bad considering how fleshy it is.
