***What Are You Smoking, May 2023?***
I picked up a tin of SG Bothy Flake on a recent work trip to Italy. Didn’t quite know what I was getting. Cracked it open this morning. Wow, this is some good stuff!- n_irwin

Good Children’s Books
I’ll second Chris Van Dusen and Jon Klassen. Circus Ship is a fun read. So is The Day the Crayons Quit, by Drew Daywalt. When I was growing up, my favorite was Harold and the Purple Crayon. It’s been fun to enjoy it with my kids.- n_irwin

Peterson ‘Light’
These newly released Peterson Juniors got me thinking about an older Peterson Light that I have. Different line, but seems like the same idea. I’m curious to know if anyone knows anything about the Light line. -
More Frustration W/SG Flakes
This is exactly what I was thinking as I read through this thread. I have had trouble with other cube cuts becoming very hard in my pipe and the problem was overtamping. With flakes and cube cuts, I’ve learned to pack it very loose and to not tamp, allowing the tobacco to expand in the chamber.- n_irwin

100 Smokes in the Owl
Every time I see pictures of this pipe, I think ‘how does the tobacco not fall out.’ Anyone else? The optical illusion just increases the beauty of this pipe.- n_irwin

Burley Taste
This is what I would say to you. I am far from being a burley expert, but the first burley I tried was Haunted Bookshop, based on reviews and lists like the one on SP.com. I really disliked it, and still do after a number of tries. But I’m glad I didn’t let it shape my opinion of all burley...- n_irwin

Best Way To Clean Up Rim Darkening?
Sorry, bro—no ill intended. Just a feeble attempt at humor. I’ve seen your results before and am impressed. And I’m learning that silliness and sarcasm don’t play as well on a forum as they might in person. My apologies.- n_irwin

Briar's Provence- Important?
Anis Bouchnak is the only remaining pipe maker in Tunisia, from what I understand. He’s third generation and still makes pipes in his grandfather’s workshop. When I visited his workshop a few years back, he showed me how his father and grandfather prepared the briar that they harvested here in... -

Who Are The Real Tobacco Snobs?
An older friend of mine once told me, ‘You’re only poor if you want more than you have.’ Seems apt to this conversation. I’m glad that the tobacco market allows all of us to enjoy some great tobaccos at whatever price we wish to pay for it.- n_irwin
