    High-End Pipes - Do They Improve the Smoking Experience?

    I can wait :) I doubt it'll be a bad smoker since it's a Peterson. But I have backup pipes if it ends up bad!

    High-End Pipes - Do They Improve the Smoking Experience?

    This brings me to a somewhat sad realization. I bought a Peterson Sherlock some time ago and upon receiving it, felt it looked too nice to be smoked.. so it sits in a box while my $30-$60 pipes get daily use lol. I think I'll save the Peterson Sherlock for some grand event worth celebrating...

    Anyone Remember Or Use The Frank Method Of Pipe Packing?

    Tobacco dryness solved more for me than packing technique ever can.

    Using Air Cured Tobacco Leaves.

    It would taste pretty bland I assume? But I know lots of people who grow and smoke their own tobacco and air drying is basically the only way since most people don't own the facilities to smoke-cure or barrel-cure the leaves.

    Why Are Some Tins So Big?

    Isn't the origin purpose of flake tobacco to remain moist so it can be carried around or used while away from home? Not saying this is how flake tin users should treat it in modern times, but the tin is more of a marketing vessel for flakes.

    Manly, Old School, New School, Aftershaves and More

    I am actually waiting right now for my "Old Old Spice" to be delivered from India. The US formulation of Old Spice is weak, but the variant they sell in India in the classic porcelain/ceramic bottle resembles the old formula that carries much longer. Sadly covid effects on intl shipping means...

    Hello Old Friend, Balkan Sasieni

    I just cracked open my first tin of it recently and love it already. Smoked incredibly well for being somewhat damp and has the oriental note that I love.

    Porcelan Pipes.

    Is the bowl itself glazed? I could see these as being extremely easy to clean if there's no porous surfaces on them, although maybe a bit hot to the touch?

    Enjoy Tobacco and Nicotine in Other Forms?

    This reminds me (on a somewhat unrelated note) that a lot of the "biohacking" types as well as brain research people supplement nicotine patches or gums for cognitive purposes. The gums I've tried have tasted pretty bad (compared to Wrigleys) but I've never felt what the patches are like.

    Your Opinion on Kentucky Fire-Cured Tobacco?

    If any of you are familiar with the smell of burning "black jack oak trees", would you say this resembles the typical scent of a DFK/KFC? Black jack oaks are very common in OK and as a result are often used to build camp fires. Having grown up around this smell, it is somewhat "nostalgic" but...

    Enjoy Tobacco and Nicotine in Other Forms?

    Loved Swedish Snus until I noticed a skin tag that briefly appeared on my inside lip one day. Stopped the snus, the skin tag went away, and then I switched back to cigars/pipe. I know the research for snus indicates that the risk is actually low (and probably lower than cigar/pipes) but...
