    Recommendations for a Carter Hall Fan?

    If CH is your favourite, you own it to yourself to try Uhle's Blend 00. HH Burley Flake rocks but it is very different from CH, being more like wessex burley slices or solani ABF (all of which are smashing burley flakes) but not like carter hall.

    Show Off Your Castello Pipes Here!

    I have a Perla Nera shape 55 that I have smoked regularly since 2014-5. The finish is still the shiny midnight black. It doesn't rub off the rim when you clean it with spit or water, etc. Very elegant finish.

    Finger's On The Button...Beautiful Fresh Castello...

    CCW, one thing on which you can count is this: SP will have another Castello that will be perfect for you. Just wait and save, they serve up fresh Castellos regularly :puffy:

    Horrendous leaf. npod just showed us his wizard level photoshop skills, making the bad look good. Don't be fooled, avoid this awful Mac Baren product!

    Update: Timing of Removal of Tobacco Blends Introduced After February 2007

    So true at least up here in Canada. Some of the most virulent anti-tobacco folks I know are otherwise very conservative. True, I can see them all over the place on the political map. As Jesse indicates this is more about using policy to advance a big industry by trying to stagnate or kill its...

    Beautiful npod! Here's a couple ... both are fantastic smokers! This was my 25th anniversary gift from my wife -- And this one is from the mid-60s, a Fiammata that looks like a relative of your Oom Paul --

    Sounds like you need to dry it more. Yes, Mac Baren makes some fantastic blends, as I love their use of dark fired burleys.

    New Three Nuns At SPC

    I love Doblone D`Oro but I'd like to try these new blends just to see what is what. I don't expect them to taste like the original 3N, and anyone who never smoked the original wouldn't know, so it is best just try them for their own merit or lack thereof whether you've smoked the original or...

    FDA Rant - Pipes for inspection!!!

    Yes, that is likely the truth. This kind of search and seizure is a clear indication of abusive governing.

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (July 2018)

    Smoking some GLP JKP in a Castello Great Line Aristocratia Bent Dublin. Great smoke to finish the day ... and the month :puffy:

    New Three Nuns At SPC

    Both sound delicious, reading Jim Ink's reviews. I will try both for sure.

    Cob Pipes and the Class Thing

    The only thing I don't like about a cob is the 'seasoning' period. I enjoy smoking my cobs, usually when I am casting flies. So my association with smoking my cobs is very positive. As another poster remarked, I've gone to the effort to raise the bottom of my cobs with pipe mud so that they are...

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (July 2018)

    Smoking my first bowl of Mac Baren HH Burley Flake in this new Castello Aristocratia shape 65. A sweet 25th Anniversary present from my better half! Tasting delicious so far ...

    When Is Kentucky Not In Kentucky?

    Hehe, woodsroad, you rock; thanks for the laugh :) Btw, I don't recall a tobacco tin ever giving such a precise measure of its contents' mass. Most would label that quantity as 3,5 oz, not 3,53 oz.

    Wow!

    Killer pipe there, fishnbanjo! Continue to enjoy the heck out of it. I, too, am trying to find ways to deal with the heat up here in BC -- 37 C and 40% humidity today. I bet your humidity is higher? All the best. Thomas

    Hate-Love Relationships with Blends?

    I remember thinking burleys were boring, dull and lacking in flavour. That has long since changed.

    New Peterson 999 (Smokingpipes.com) with Sour Taste

    I hope so, too! There are a number of Peterson shapes to which I am attracted, but having experienced this twice and being now bullet shy, I am in 'wait and see' camp.
