    Davidoff Flake Medallions: To Age Or Not To Age?

    They were delicious when I had them last night, might buy a few more and put some age on them

    Davidoff Flake Medallions: To Age Or Not To Age?

    More like people hyped it up so much and when I smoked it it was horribly underwhelming. Sort of just tasted like spicy perique with a tiny hint of va.

    Davidoff Flake Medallions: To Age Or Not To Age?

    That makes sense. Wish I could have tasted it back in the day. I think I need another tin of Deluxe Navy Rolls. Easily been five years since I last had a tin.

    Davidoff Flake Medallions: To Age Or Not To Age?

    It’s also been a while since I tried those. I remember really disliking Escudo, not because it was bad, but just because it was ridiculously overhyped.

    Davidoff Flake Medallions: To Age Or Not To Age?

    Update, I decided to have a few medallions tonight just to jog my memory. They are FANTASTIC, the Virginias are really what take center stage but the perique definitely adds a mouth feel to it and is noticeable on the retrohale. I’m going to buy a few more of these tins and let them age for a...

    Davidoff Flake Medallions: To Age Or Not To Age?

    I remember what they taste similar to PS Bullseye Flake which I had just last week but but can't remember their own distinct notes.

    Davidoff Flake Medallions: To Age Or Not To Age?

    Aging it is. Already cracked the tin but have Jared them up to age for a while.

    Davidoff Flake Medallions: To Age Or Not To Age?

    It’s been ages since I’ve last had Davidoff flake medallions but remember them being pretty similar to PS Luxury Bullseye Flake but a bit richer in flavor. Should I cellar this blend for a couple years or is it pretty good to go out of the tin? It’s been so long I can’t remember myself.

    Meerschaum Dilutes Flavor?

    I have never seen a meer that big in my life, is that like a three hour smoke???

    Meerschaum Dilutes Flavor?

    I wouldn't say it dilutes it but I think since it is ultra absorbent, it absorbs a lot of the steam that would otherwise carry subtle flavors. The briar does a good job at preserving that steam (sometimes to its detriment with a wet smoke) and adding a bit of flavor. I would quote Mark from...

    Recommendations For Good Custom Meerschaum Stem Work

    I'd like to have one of the push-tenon stemmed pipes I own be converted to a metal band and have a custom stem made for it. Does anyone know any good custom stem makers for meerschaum?

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

    Thank you! It could be the meer. I don't seem to have trouble with this pipe anymore after I gave it a good cleaning but here we are... I should give it more time. First 5 sips are nice but after that, don't get much but hot air/ashy/tar like taste from it and I am smoking it softer and...

    Scottish Cake in the IMP. This damn meer has broken my back in my attempt to color it. Over 100 bowls and little to no coloring. Still not enjoying Scottish Cake but determined to figure it out!

    Never have I ever thought warping would look so good, they should intentionally make a pipe this shape!

    Same pipe, same coffee. Still love my HH Burley Flake, absolutely mouth watering.

    Experiment with Nicotine Patches and Pipe Smoking

    The pipe has become a chore but that was a year ago. The long gap I’ve had between made me realize how magical they are. It’s called reflection sir.
