Fruit Forward Blends?
I actually find this blend disgusting, tastes like a tropical potpourri candle, but I think it's a good recommendation as clearly some people like it and the flavor is definitely forward. Edit: forgot my recommendations: SG Firedance Flake is a great Virginia (Best Brown Flake) with blackberry...- MarcosEZLN

Peterson System Delux Showed Wood from First Smoke
You might give this a read if you're curious about bowl coatings in general. As to why a small amount of yours in the bottom of the bowl came off I couldn't say, any chance you used alcohol when cleaning? Maybe it just didn't adhere in the bottom of the chamber because of some flaw in the...- MarcosEZLN

Peterson System Delux Showed Wood from First Smoke
Got it. It sounds like the bowl coating applied during production has sloughed off a bit. I don't remember that happening when I first bought my system deluxe new, but even if it had I wouldn't have been worried about it. Many people prefer new pipes not to have a bowl coating and just be bare...- MarcosEZLN

Peterson System Delux Showed Wood from First Smoke
Do you mean that the finish/stain is wearing off the exterior of the bowl or do you mean the interior of the bowl isn't coated yet from your smoking? If the former, what kind of cleaning are you doing to the outside of the pipe after one bowl? If the latter, I'd say that's normal.- MarcosEZLN

Pipes and Artisans of Eastern Europe: Undervalued and Underappreciated?
I was actually typing out a post on that forum to say I was sending him a PM to buy this one when I saw yours get posted. I already have a squat tomato of his and it's fantastic, but this one really spoke to me. I'm a little relieved you saved me the $200, honestly, and I hope you enjoy the hell...- MarcosEZLN

Trouble Finding a Lakeland Blend I Smoked Ages Ago
Any memory of it having a clove flavor? If not, my best guesses are Kendal Flake or Grasmere. There are plenty of Lakeland blend fans here, don't worry about being judged.- MarcosEZLN

Pillows
Take a look at buckwheat pillows. I've used one for years and been very happy. They're like a little beanbag so they take some getting used to, but they're very supportive and they don't get nearly as warm as some materials. They make a little rustling noise as you move them around or shift your...- MarcosEZLN

4Noggins.com
I've never had them take more than a week to get an order shipped, which seems reasonable if it's a small operation. I've heard of people with orders that seem to disappear for weeks on end, that just hasn't been my experience. I know many of us have gotten used to rapid shipping when we buy...- MarcosEZLN

Lane RLP-6
I mean, I'd gladly take it off your hands, but have you considered using a pinch here and there to mix into other tobaccos? Sometimes it's nice just to sweeten up a rather plain Virginia blend, or even an OTC like Carter Hall.- MarcosEZLN
