    Why Peterson?

    This was one of the Petes I sold because I couldn’t get a dry smoke out of it (again, could be user error alone). I loved its aesthetic, though. This a beautiful pipe.

    Why Peterson?

    Would love to have this experience with a Pete one day. I’m certainly open to it!

    Why Peterson?

    Beautiful views… both the pipes and Creation.

    Why Peterson?

    Exactly. I know it’s a matter of personal preference and I get a kick out of folks who love their colored stems, but for me it’s a major turn off as well. I’ve actually had all of my Meer stems replaced with black acrylic…

    Why Peterson?

    This has absolutely been my experience with Petes… but I figured it was just user error. To be clear, my experience was significant enough to dissuade me from further Pete purchases unless I come across a steal that warrants giving them another try.

    Pipe Smoking Retreat

    I like this idea and when I think of locations Asheville and Colorado Springs come to mind, but I’ll bet there are better spots with more brick and mortar options…

    A message to Lurkers.

    Yep. This is me. I’ve probably visited this website more than any other since 2016 and yet it took me a long, long time to post much because a) I never felt I had much to offer, b) I’ve seen so many online conversations elsewhere become uselessly divisive, and c) I was too busy changing...

    Another Cosmic Spigot - Rustic Spig

    Love the band texture! Beautiful. All of it.

    Another New Altinay Meer

    I saw that one and was thinking about. A reasonably priced beautiful meer from a reputable maker and previous owner. I’m so glad to hear about eBay experiences like this, and to know y’all are both a part of this forum, too!

    A Bar Exam for Pipesmokers

    Is it A. mold B. plume C. They’re the same D. I hate this conversation

    Whole Leaf Perique Next Steps

    Smells exactly as others have reported… like a farm.

    Whole Leaf Perique Next Steps

    After cutting it up and jarring it, I’ve just been adding it to weaker or less interesting Va blends. And it’s been great. I’ve also added it to a few blends that are aging with it. I’ll try those in the near future. All in all, it was a great purchase and I’ll do it again.

    Mold Confirmation

    A dumb question that I’m sure has been addressed (but one I’m still going to ask): is it possible that it’s just a strange color that the rich aged tobacco has taken on- and neither good plume or bad plume (mold)? I recently had some aged Dunbar that did not look like mold but also looked...

    Zippo Pipe Inserts

    Yes, I’d really be interested in hearing anyone’s comparisons of this zippo butane insert with the thunderbird or z pipe one… is this zippo sponsored butane insert worth trying!

    My Tobacco Plant Experiment

    By the way, I bought and planted a bunch of seeds from different Virginias. And I labeled each one. None of them survived. So, I dumped all the “dirt” in a pot and figured I’d wait until the Spring to try again. Well, a few weeks later I see this “weed” growing and it looks prettier than any...

    My Tobacco Plant Experiment

    Hey thanks! That’s great news! I can’t believe it. Yes, I put this one and the same pot with the dirt from my previous “non sprouting” seeds… but maybe a new one is sprouting. I’m in Fl so I was hoping that winter wouldn’t be an issue. I can’t wait for this Spring because I’m going to have a...

    My Tobacco Plant Experiment

    Does this look like a growing, young tobacco plant? The possums (or some similar creatures) have put my tobacco planting efforts through the wringer and this plant, alone, has survived to tell the tale. At least… I’m hoping it’s not just a weed! Sadly, I don’t actually know what varietal it...

    PS Cube Cut New Chemical Taste

    The strange flavor I got had an ammonia vibe. I went back to the jar immediately to see if the rest of the tobacco smelled that way and… it didn’t. It was the strangest thing. Again, I’ve smoked this off and on for years. It’s been a favorite so I’m pretty familiar with how the blend handles...

    PS Cube Cut New Chemical Taste

    Hmmm, this is seeming to me the most likely possibility. I have no idea what might have been in the jar previously…

    Linkman’s Grabow 9733A Corrosion?

    Thanks! And I think the metal around the shank/band area is going to be too gnarly to leave in place. It looks pretty gross. I could replace or remove it, perhaps?
