The (Un)Official PipesMagazine Secret Santa Thread 2022!
My SS recipient should receive their package in a few days. Took a little longer to curate something that I thought would be worthy of his/her tastes after going back through some posts and doing a little research. Hopefully it offers them a little joy this season!- pipingfool

Sam Gawith in stock at Smoking Pipes
It seems strange to me that the SG tins are $15.00 each and the GH tins are $11.20 each. Aren't they made in the same building and source the same leaf? Don't get me wrong, if wasn't stocked up on both, my credit card would be smoking right now. Plus I'm saving my Fall Tobacco Budget for...- pipingfool

Coffee Check
If I just need a jolt of caffeine in the morning, then it's just good ole K-cups from Costco. But I also have a Nespresso Vertuo machine that makes some damn fine coffee that I'll use for my early afternoon cup. But if I'm really wanting some tasty coffee, then I'll drive over to this little...- pipingfool

Blending your own tobaccos
I've done a little blending that came out pretty decent, and what you've got going on certainly sounds like it would be tasty, but I'm not sure you're going to get close to FMC with those ratios. If I remember correctly, FMC is an English-Aro and has quite a bit of sweetness to it. When I've...- pipingfool

I would love to know where this is because I’m in Seattle and most of the decent B&M stores are pretty far away from me.- pipingfool

Finding the Right Tobacco
It can be a little “peppery” and can cause a little tingle in the nose on the retrohale. But when used skillfully it can add that “spice” as well as other dark fruit flavors as well. But it can also have some of those warm baking spices like clove and nutmeg.- pipingfool

Finding the Right Tobacco
Variety is the spice of life! I looks like you've mostly tried English blends and some aromatics. Maybe try a straight Virginia or a Virginia/Perique blend. They typically offer the most nuance and are typically a little sweeter than the English blends. The Perique adds a nice spiciness and...- pipingfool

It really depends on your individual tastes. I don't think there's anything there that would be that hard to get elsewhere. If you normally smoke an aromatic and want to try something different, I would suggest Erinmore Flake. It's a "semi-aromatic" but not overly sweet. Lots going on in...- pipingfool

Looks like there's an older tin of one of the Comoy's blends in the case. Can't make out which blend, but they're not that easy to come by these days.- pipingfool

They made it, but I don't think they were very popular. I believe I got my tin of Spring Time from SPC. If not there, then it was P&C, but I'm pretty sure I had switched to SPC at that time.- pipingfool

The "soap & perfume" blends would the the Gawith blends from Lakeland. But not all of the Gawith blends have that topping. They're either a love it or hate type of blend. I personally like them, but in small doses. But they will ghost a pipe something fierce, so it's better to either...- pipingfool

Cast Iron
I have a few pieces that have accumulated over the years. A #10 Lodge skillet that I got about 25 years ago; a 15" Lodge skillet that my mother-in-law gave me about 13 years ago; a 7qt Lodge Dutch Oven with the little spikes on the lid that is perfect for braising; and a no-name #10 skillet...- pipingfool

Help : Overdose on Aromatics
Erinmore Flake has been the only "aromatic" blend that I have truly enjoyed and smoked more than a tin of. Most aromatics that I buy (or are bought for me) are smoked a couple of times and then get tossed. But I truly enjoy Erinmore Flake. I hear that it is vastly different from the Erinmore...- pipingfool

What Constitutes Being "Well Traveled"?
I've been through a good portion of the US, but not much of the Northeast except New York. Countries I've visited have been Mexico, Barbados, Bahamas, St Marten, British Virgin Islands, France, Italy, Monaco, Belgium, The Netherlands, Ireland and Australia. Don't know if that makes me...- pipingfool

What Are Some Light/Sweet VA/VaPers?
The ones that come to mind for me would be Orlik Golden Sliced (very, very little Perique), PS Luxury Navy Flake, Newminster 400 Flake (very sweet to me) and PS Luxury Twist Flake. I also don't consider Escudo to be all that dark and savory, but it definitely has more going on than some of the...- pipingfool

Manhattan Old Fashioned Egg Nog Spiked Hot Cider (usually Bourbon, but sometimes Rum or Brandy) A good peat-smoked Single Malt is very nice by the fire with a bowl of a Latakia-forward blend.- pipingfool
