    LJ Peretti: No. 8 Slices & Cambridge Flake

    Don’t be skeered of the Burley in #8. It’s light and, to me, barely present. Try 2 ounces. I’ll bet you won’t regret it.

    LJ Peretti: No. 8 Slices & Cambridge Flake

    The best. I hope to visit the shop someday. That #8 is fantastic as is London Flake and 150th Anniversary. I regret missing out on their 2/14 blend. Hopefully I’ll get some next year. Personally, I prefer NOT having the paint cans as it leaves the flakes more intact when they aren’t forced...

    Ken Byron Tobaccos

    KBV is phenomenal. I’ve not had a blend I didn’t like from him and I’ve tried around 8 blends. Van Gogh, Brown Flek, Redline, Roman Legion, Alchemy Parish, Voodoo Tour are all, in my opinion, GOAT status. Patience of Doctor Silence and Sakura are really great aromatics. I have probably...

    "Accidentally" Aged Tins - Smoke or Save?

    It happens sometimes. I’m surprised you’re surprised. Also, if one buys a tin in March, it’s possible it could have been produced in November of the previous year.

    Difference Between Red VA & Dark VA?

    I’m fairly new to piping so I could be way wrong here and I welcome the correction but I think you might be referring to parts of the tobacco plant. There are different colors of Virginia tobacco that come from different parts of the plant and I believe they get harvested at different times...

    B&Ms with Online Shopping?

    Generally, I agree with you that cumbersome websites can destroy the desire to make a purchase but in this case, I fear you might be cutting off your nose to spite your face. Wilke is worth the slog through the absurd website, especially if you’re into English blends. Take a deep breath and...

    How Dry Is Too Dry

    For me, there is no “too dry” but there is definitely “too wet”. The only issue I’ve encountered with too dry tobacco is super fast burning which can be alleviated by slower smoking but that makes more relights. It’s a balance I don’t care to think too deeply about. Every bowl seems to have...

    Getting Taste Back

    Wow! My taste returns after about 2 days away. Such a bummer it takes so long for you. Are you certain it’s not Covid?
