    Odd P&C RO62 Order

    I just now got around to smoking the RO62. A very nice change from the lat heavy stuff I've been smoking. There is a nice sweetness and I pick up a little perique as well. Nice blend :clap:

    Odd P&C RO62 Order

    I've had good service from them as well. I didn't feel this RO62 order was worth complaining about. I would have been happy with either RO62 or Mississippi River. As the RO62 was kind of a "mystery bag" I was happy with anything. PC really went above and beyond for me recently so I certainly...

    Beginning the Aromatic Journey

    Alaskanpiper, I too very much enjoy Labrador Blend. Even as an English smoker it is hard to beat it in the morning with a cup of coffee.

    Odd P&C RO62 Order

    Nothing wrong with a mystery box once in a while ;) I've actually had some above and beyond customer service from P&C recently. I'm good with it. I'm going to try the RO62 tomorrow. I'll report back.

    Need a recommend - Tobacco

    I also enjoy Plum Pudding. If you haven't tried it I would recommend the Plum Pudding Special Reserve. Russ' Tastykake to me was in the same vein as Plum Pudding. It might be worth a try. I also enjoy Rattray's Black Mallory very much. It is not quite the same as Plum Pudding but it has...

    Hello and thank you from Bavaria

    Welcome from MN! I was in Germany a few years back and hope to travel to Bavaria with a good friend of mine. His family comes from the Schwarzwald area. I believe he still has some distant relatives there.

    Odd P&C RO62 Order

    Jay, thank you for the clarification. I look forward to trying the RO62. What did you think of it?

    Odd P&C RO62 Order

    It has been a while since I ordered from P&C, but I recently saw their sale on SPC tobacco so I figured I would stock up on some Plum Pudding SR and add a couple that I hadn't had before. I also recalled some mention of RO62 being created for Mr. Ouellette's birthday. So, I put a "slice" of...

    Madeira Wine to Accompany a Pipe

    I think the scotch is making me fuzzy. I never put two and two together that sherry was a fortified wine. There are a couple of scotches that were aged in sherry casks that I have enjoyed. Your suggestion of Laphroaig aged in Madeira casks sounds particularly interesting. I will ask about it...

    Madeira Wine to Accompany a Pipe

    I will have to try the combination with port as well, based on everyone's suggestions. Good stuff! alaskanpiper, any specific reccomendations? I can't recall having a scotch aged in a fortified wine barrel. I'll be in Scotland in a few weeks so I will keep my eyes open.

    Madeira Wine to Accompany a Pipe

    I recently found out a friend of mine smoked a pipe, and all this time I had no idea. He has only been smoking a pipe for less that a year but still. I saw him drive by with a pipe clenched and called him to come over and enjoy a pipe in my smoking lounge, such as it is. He responded he would...

    Talk to Me About Wrist Watches

    ssjones, thanks for tip on the Erika's MN. I had never heard of them before but they look pretty awesome. I could imagine that a bit of elasticity would make for better fit than a NATO style where there are only incremental sizes.

    Talk to Me About Wrist Watches

    ssjones, that's a great looking Seiko. I have a similar watch problem... I'm a sucker for good NATO strap. But I really like it when they glow!

    Talk to Me About Wrist Watches

    elbert, pretty sure that Citizen has a sapphire crystal. Very nice for its scratch resistance. I have a dive watch with a sapphire crystal which is awesome as it stays scratch free. Unfortunately it is also a titanium watch which is not so scratch free. The light weight of titanium is nice though.

    Talk to Me About Wrist Watches

    My Citizen Nighthawk. I wear this one a lot at work. It is also solar powered and has been very accurate. Personally I like the blackout look but it is worthless as tits on a boar in the dark. I do like watches with very bright lume, which this one does not have. The above mentioned Seiko...
