Old Codger All Day Smoking with One Pipe
I just rec'd a pair of these on my last order and they work well. But so does a twisted napkin, paper towel or similar. But they do scrub just a wee bit better...- FLDRD

***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***
Heat & humidity eventually overwhelm both myself and many blends at this time of year. I definitely don't want to spend time shaving a plug, drying a Virginia, etc. When nothing tastes right, burns right, or provides pleasure, I either stop, or start again at my lowest rung on the leaf ladder...- FLDRD

Your Own "Worst" Tobacco
I tried Royal Yacht and wanted to like it, but I couldn't. It was the first truly disappointing Peterson blend. (Standard was "meh", the rest I've liked so far.) I sent it off for free with some other fruity types to someone whom I hope enjoyed them. I may choose to automatically pass on...- FLDRD

Your Own "Worst" Tobacco
I had that experience with a 3.5 oz MacBaren Navy Flake tin I opened last week. I know it's quality leaf, I just can't get the flavor / experience / satisfaction I'm looking for out of it....... Maybe we should trade...- FLDRD

Virginias
I don't recall the type of blend, but there was a time when my salty receptors were being stimulated by something in the leaf I was enjoying. Possibly even by more that one type of blend. I think it was earlier on and I sense that less now that I'm more accustomed to the act of fumigating my...- FLDRD

Do You 'Trust' This Style of Rack?
I wouldn't. I'd likely bump one at some point in time reaching for another. -
***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***
Last night I wanted something different, something I don't normally grab. So I went to the cellar and grabbed this, thinking it might hit the spot. Packed it light in a 314 and went to task. Its's very different from most other blends in every way possible. I managed to enjoy its uniqueness, but...- FLDRD

Tobaccos With A Nic Hit?
Tabac Manill From the "Belgian Sammy Hagar". I like Dark Birds Eye and it's siblings, which many say has a big hit, but for me, it doesn't compare to Tabac Manill. Had some of the La Volute last night and it's powerful. I only grab that a couple times per year...- FLDRD

Your Own "Worst" Tobacco
I haven't tried Erinmore yet, but I think it's likely on my shelves... You make it sound a little like Royal Yacht (I'd have to go and re-read about them), so I'm wondering if it's in the same camp?- FLDRD

All These Years, Missing Out
Oddly, I just opened a tin of that last week and made great photos for the "opening a tin" thread. I like the way it smells. I was eager to try it. My issue is not so much that it is repulsive to me, it's difficult for me to find pleasantness in it. No gratification. I keep searching for the...- FLDRD

Your Own "Worst" Tobacco
Once I found out what tobacco could actually taste like, I came to despise all fruity type of aromatics. Even some classics like Cult Blood Red Moon, Royal Yacht, and others with that apricot... Gathered them up and gave them away. I may still have more lurking on my shelves that will be passed...- FLDRD

Hasn't... I noticed that too And I've got pipes from him as well. Some of them I've already paid it forward.- FLDRD

Show Off Your Petersons Here!
Sometimes it's a combination of angle and bit width. If the angle is "off" for me personally, sometimes a wider bit will compensate for that and reduce the "wiggle" that occurs when I'm active. This one is just below what I'd prefer on the clenching stability, but it's good enough to save for a...- FLDRD

Show Off Your Petersons Here!
When looking at mine yesterday, I didn't notice any type of coating or a layer of anything on the briar. I wasn't looking for it but............... Now I'm curious. I may have to double-check tonight. If it DOES have a coating, I think that would actually be pretty cool. I have a "naked"...- FLDRD
