    What Are You Smoking, October 2022?

    Wessex Gold Brick in my new Peterson 2022 Christmas smooth Bulldog spigot.

    Pipe And Cigarettes.

    I dipped a can a day for a few years before getting hooked on cigs for almost 15 years. Always enjoyed the occasional chew, pipe, or cigar but was mainly a cigarette smoker. I quit for good about 6 years ago and don't really enjoy cigarettes anymore since I'd rather smoke a pipe. I still...

    Terminology Update Needed.

    I don't really care one way or the other. Generally a quick Google answers any questions I have. An F&T CVP Google search returns the tobacco review page for Cut Virginia Plug as the first result for example. In my line of work (not government BTW) abbreviations are everywhere and I use them to...

    Inflation

    Without getting too much into economics or politics I will agree that it is frustrating. I'm lucky enough to be in a low tax state so I've cellared decades worth of tobacco already so my concerns are elsewhere. As a youngish person the shortsightedness of it all doesn't give me a ton of hope...

    2 Old Duns, 1 Pete Resto Project (Ahi Ka-Humblepipe Collab)

    Beautiful work. Love seeing a good old sandblast/rustication brought back to life without polishing out all the detail.

    My Penne and a Big Napa Cab

    Looks delicious. I know just enough about wine to be dangerous as whiskey and stout beer is my usual pairing but I do enjoy a good Cab.

    What Are You Drinking? September 2022

    Ardbeg 10 neat with a Green Man Porter. Just finished a Guinness Extra Stout and will probably switch back to those as the porter is a little weak for my liking. And it would be Laphroaig 10 if my local ABC stores would keep it in stock. Don't know what is going on with my favorite whisky...

    Hat tip

    Welcome from North Carolina!

    Greetings from Western North Carolina!

    Welcome from the NC Piedmont. I love Western NC and went to college at App State. If I didn't move back to the Piedmont to be close to mine and my wife's family I'd move back to the mountains in a heartbeat.

    New Legislation In NC?

    I live in NC and just recently received my orders of the new Carolina Red Flake from two different online retailers without issue. Seems like it's just an issue with this shop in Florida.

    Peterson 2022 Christmas Pipe

    I couldn't resist a smooth bulldog spigot. Smoking my 2018 copper army mount sandblasted Pete Christmas pipe now, it's one of my favorites. I've never wiped the copper down with anything since I bought it new in 2018 and it's darkened a little but definitely hasn't turned green at all.

    Does Anyone Else Smoke Whilst Mowing?!

    I usually grab a cigar for riding around on the lawn mower. That's about the only time I smoke a cigar anymore.

    Legal Moonshine.. Any Good?

    Agreed, Popcorn Sutton's legal shine was the only one I've tried that I enjoyed. I don't try any of the other legal shine because it's not hard to find real shine for cheaper. I've never had a bad batch of real shine. I usually avoid the fruited variations unless it's peach because eating a...

    Healthy Eating & You

    I've lost a few pounds recently, been meaning to get back on the health kick but I'd been putting it off. I generally don't have a problem with food, I end up drinking my calories which causes me to gain weight. A little more attention paid to what I'm eating and drinking and a few more salads...

    Who has Smoked Cornell and Diehl Anthology 1992-2022?

    I've smoked a number of bowls of Anthology and have enjoyed them all. I liked all the CRF and CRF w/perique batches I've bought and enjoy Bijou as well. This blend is different from all of those, very balanced with the perique and more fig and wine notes instead of pepper as others have...

    C&D Anthology 1992-2022

    Yep SP working smoothly now, I was able to order the 8 tins I wanted.

    C&D Anthology 1992-2022

    I was able to place 8 tins in my cart and get to the end of the checkout process before smokingpipes crashed. Looks like I might be missing out if SP is sold out whenever it finally comes back online.

    Dating Peterson Pipe

    The only English made Peterson I have has the London Made over England Block Format stamping. I'm assuming that's closer to the end of the English made Peterson era.

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2022?***

    Finishing up some Orlik Golden Sliced with a few years of age on it in one of my trusty Pete 120 army mount Dublin's.
