    Taste

    When you're that new I wouldn't recommend multiple different blends - yet. Get yourself a codger blend (Carter Hall?) or ribbon cut light English blend (Early Morning Pipe?) and learn to smoke it, learn to keep it going, learn to understand how to keep your tongue from getting hot, etc. Go...

    July: Reflecting on a Month of My Journey

    I have found that upon trying a new blend, I benefit from doing so regularly. Doesn't have to be back to back bowls, but at least each day, and then I understand it better, somehow. So I may start off thinking its' so-so, but generally my appreciation improves as I learn it. It doesn't have to...

    Couldn't resist purchasing this today. I'm growing my stable of 314's. Probably to fill that rack that holds 12...

    Sick from Smoking??

    Sounds like you're on the way out. Better smoke it all up as quick as you can in your short time left; or quickly message those who cared right up to the end and gift it all away...................puffy

    New Product From Brigham of Real Interest

    I could see his point. But as a customer I'll take my concerns over his. I won't state anything public. Look for PM.

    Yeah, further up I had a little rant about stamping issues, but what started it all was a defect in the ferrule internally not jiving properly. It was bought new from a seller on Ebay and I'd let it sit for about 5 months in my pile of "future Peterson pipes to gift to self" before a thorough...

    Unusual Markings; Meerschaum, Real or Fake?

    They certainly look real to me. Others are more expert and may be along anytime soon.

    And I went and bought another one last night after leaving it in my cart for a few days. A nice little estate 312 with some interesting grain... And I've got a replacement House Pipe coming in soon. I paid the difference and upgraded from blasted to smooth. Haven't even seen it, but she said...

    I'm still enamored. Not really able to clearly elicit why, but I am. I keep buying. In spite of the "quirks".

    Shipping Tobacco

    I don't have the reference off-hand, but they DID used to ship children via the postal service. It can be found if you look it up.............................

    Just this morning I got an email from Laudisi regarding a return I sent in for evaluation. The silver ferrule wasn't fully integrated properly, and gaps could be seen with the stem removed. They agreed and were happy to replace it. But while I had her on the phone I mentioned that in spite of...
