    Salty Dogs in. Peterson Dunmore 77

    This is from the recent SH Barley drop, and my first "Professor". I like it overall, something about the angle isn't "perfect" for walking around, turning head side to side, bending over to reach for something... but it's good. Interesting how some have the right angle and length to sit just...

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

    So this was my Friday night - both new-to-me combo that I forgot to post. The pipe is a keeper. Love it. (Peterson 314) And while the tobacco is excellent in quality, it may not be for me. And I scratch my head and wonder why. I'm beginning to suspect that cavendish "softens" a blend more than...

    What Does Latakia Taste Like

    When it's been absent from my pipe for a while the first overwhelming sensation is creamy. Other flavors depend on the particular blend. Sometimes an evergreen resin, or a tang from an oriental leaf, etc...

    Ok so I was sitting in front of the computer too long and realized I didn't have a Professor, and this would be a good way to see if I like it? :LOL: I could always send it back if it doesn't please me... :rolleyes: What? I've done that before............ well, I sent one back, once, in some...

    I had looked at them previously and decided to pass. Saw the email and looked at a couple, held off. Looked later and a couple I'd have been interested in had disappeared. I've got so dang many new ones waiting to still give to myself... and the POTY will be coming along soon enough...

    Newbie Questions.

    I do not agree. I have not had any significant loss of taste. At most, I may have had some temporary muting of flavors.

    This arrived yesterday and was perfect, as it was my birthday. Estate, (but obviously new to me) so I christened it with G&H Birds Eye. That blend always satisfies... Anyhow, I really like the system spigot and I'll likely get more in the future. So it was a great purchase, happy to have done so.

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

    Stopped at a friends house for a birthday beverage and got home later than normal, but my PAD history provided me this from the mail. So it was obvious that it was meant to be the evening bowl. Christened it (new to me) with G&H Dark Birds Eye and it was delightful. It was too dark for a good...

    Tobaccos With A Nic Hit?

    I've seen many mention this over time but it's not one that overpowers me - it's pure joy. Some others though will plant me in a chair.

    Suprise!!!

    I tried the "Best of the Rest" (English) and it was pretty good; so I ordered a pound and jarred it up a couple years ago. It will be pleasant when I wish to dig into it.
