    673 vs 80s Pete

    Goodies came in just now. I'm off to a Doctor appointment but hope to give the new Peterson a go this evening. Am trying to remember how to post a picture.

    Brigham Role-Call

    I used mine for a bit then took them out. I feel like the draw is too tight with them in place. I'm going to have to try this paper towel trick now just for curiosity sake. Did you dampen them with water or just remove them once the pipe cooled down and go straight to the paper towel with them?

    Rookie Question About Aging

    Well, I found out just recently that I have to be listed as "Starting Out" for some 35 more years. ? I am more likely to expire before I get my chance to make such a glorious post. If I do live to be old enough and experienced enough to achieve sophisticated status I may kick it all off with...

    Rookie Question About Aging

    I'm starting to think said patience is part of the art of piping. I question myself in this regard as well.

    Rookie Question About Aging

    I'm having a new love for a Va blend that I have a few tins coming in of and have some sealed tins from early to mid 2010's.. reason for my question. I may transfer some to jars and leave some be then.

    Rookie Question About Aging

    Simple query: If a blend is left alone in it's sealed tin does it age? Not sure if I should be jarring some or if I leave it tinned should I expect a year or so once I jar it before the majic? TIA, Cotton1

    New Pipe - Not Finding Much History

    I love history and some day hope to obtain a very old pipe. I'm clueless and have nothing to offer but can't wait to see how this unfolds!

    Tobacco Recommendations for a Beginner.

    I'm not experienced enough to offer much advice OP. My journey to pipes is similar to yours. I was getting to the point of Maduro only and chugging away. Not only has the pipe been more relaxing for me but I am enjoying the different flavors which are sweeter/richer in my opinion. I have a...

    Dunhill/Peterson My Mixture 965

    Thanks. My current jar of MF is from 9/19 and it seems to be a little more creamy over the last month or so. I'm hoping the 965 will be pretty close, but I plan to jar it when I get it, maybe try a bowl or two but mostly leave it be until I finish the MF. My next tin of MF will be from 2014...

    673 vs 80s Pete

    I selected the Irish Harp 80s and am hoping to obtain a Totruga 673ks in the future. I have wanted the 673 style for a while and have considered the 8673 Rossi and the Series 3 673 as a way to save a few bucks on it. For now though, I will hopefully enjoy the Pete and wait for the right time on...

    673 vs 80s Pete

    Well, I ordered my new pipe a few minutes ago. I decided to try the 80s for several reasons. I prefer the look of the shank shape and the big silver band(plus my bride did too).Edit: Intended to include that I have never owned a Peterson..the tie breaker for me really. I'm crossing my fingers...

    I just ordered a tin a few minutes ago. Is it good to go out of the tin?

    Royal Yacht, A Short-Short Review

    I'm enjoying a bowl right now. I have been going to it more and more the last week or two. I am going to add a few more tins on my next order. As was suggested to me a little time in the jar served it well. I would love to see how a year or more does for it. Glad you enjoyed it, cheers!

    673 vs 80s Pete

    The Stanwell I ordered is Italian made. It's a billiard , "Amber 141" can be seen on BRB. I will try to remember to take some pictures when it arrives.

    673 vs 80s Pete

    Ordered the Stanwell last night. Still not sure about the other two...wife likes the larger band on the Peterson and I like the looks of both. I'm wondering if there will be any deals on either of these on IPD? Just a few more weeks away.

    Brigham Role-Call

    You should try one..inserts are easy to remove if you are like me and don't care for filters.
