    Finally a Nic Hit

    Super delicious, but one flake is enough for me. I think a second bowl would kick my ass, and I am not a lightweight.

    Finally a Nic Hit

    Perfect pick for a MM legend. One flake takes you to a happy place without giving you the spins.

    Finally a Nic Hit

    Nic level to me is about the same as a strong robusto cigar. I bought 10 tins. Jarred 2. The rest for the cellar. This will take me a shit long time to smoke through!

    Finally a Nic Hit

    One and done. Definitely stronger than say 1792 flake.

    Finally a Nic Hit

    Smoking a Flake right now on the back porch after an evening of drinking bourbon. Nice earthy tobacco flavors with a hint of molasses. Almost cigar like. Very tasty. Light pepper. Smooth retrohale. Cool burn. Strong, but not overpowering for a cigar guy. Four flakes would put me out like...

    So Bored I Stoved Some Best Brown 2

    Inspired by this post, I put a tin of Escudo in the Turkey Fryer and it now tastes like a bag of ass and smells like rancid peanut oil.

    Dottle???

    Some cheapos actually save the dottle and smoke it another day. Gross! I believe these are the same people who polish their pipes with nose grease and turn their milk cartons into bird feeders.

    Not into gimmicky pipes.

    What Do You Call A 5-Pack Of Tins?

    “I currently have an entire bin full of Magnum Opus chubs in my closet that I am willing to share!”

    What Do You Call A 5-Pack Of Tins?

    A “chub?” As in... “I was at the store today and I got a chub.” or “Hey hon, I will be down in my man cave rubbing out a chub....” eh... I think I will stick with “sleeve.”

    Expensive Pipes ~ Should I Smoke Them?

    I guess the concept of buying a pipe just to look at is not all that unique to our niche hobby. People collect cars they will never drive, guns they will never shoot, bottles of wine they will never drink... so... whatever floats your boat!

    HH Rustica

    Not me! I saw “limited edition” and was like, oh shit, I NEED some of that! I NEED 10 tins of that NOW!

    HH Rustica

    Ordered mine. Figure if it’s too strong I will use the flakes to add body to weaker blends I own. As grandma used to say: “Smoke it slow, kid, that Rustica will put hair on your nips!”

    Expensive Pipes ~ Should I Smoke Them?

    Interesting. Thanks for the info! Chances are I will probably never purchase a century old pipe, but some of those ancient briars with amber stems and silver accents sure are eye-catching!

    Expensive Pipes ~ Should I Smoke Them?

    Interesting. Seems like a lot of pipe makers age their briar for years, sometimes decades before carving, to cure the briar. I wonder if it’s more of a degradation of material than a matter of dryness. Have you seen this happen to say, 30 y/o NOS pipes? Or just century old pipes?

    Expensive Pipes ~ Should I Smoke Them?

    Old briar can crack on the first bowl??? Is this a common occurrence? Also, is there a way to recondition the briar before smoking an old pipe? Like maybe a quick rub down with some olive oil?

    Peterson University Flake Too Strong for Me?

    I am a regular cigar smoker and for some reason, Peterson’s 3P gives me the spins. Everyone’s chemistry is a little different it seems.
