First smoke of Peterson Irish Flake
I quite enjoy Irish Flake on a once-and-a-while basis. It is definitely a meat and potatoes kind of tobacco for me, just a steady, solid, no nonsense flavor and lots of nicotine, deep and rich. I enjoy it with a nice stout, usually with the weather gets crisp in the fall. Keep trying it, it'll...- morton

Just Cleaned Up A Peterson Dunmore, Anyone Else Have One?
I've got two, both estates in the queue for restoration. They're both in good shape, fairly large and have no bowl interior issues that I can see. One is smooth, the other rusticated but are almost exactly matched in size. The bowls need a slight cleaning/buffing on the outside, insides are... -
Is EMP An Oriental?
While I usually find that Bob's tastes impeccable, I'm afraid on this one at least, I must disagree with him. I do like to start my day with EMP and do so regularly. Good thing we all have different tastes or I'd have a hard time finding some of my favorites!- morton

Techical Question About Buffing Speed
Some guys use furnace motors and bearing races with a threaded rod and a Beall buffing kit or similar. Furnace motors generally run at 1750 rpm and that's what many pipe restorers seem to recommend. Reborn Briar has a blog showing a spiffy home made setup that looks like it would work quite well.- morton

Spoiler alert! We have a winner in our midst.
I have a fair number of Ryan's pipes and have commissioned pipes from his early days until just recently. He just keeps getting better and it won't be long before I can't afford him. My last two purchases were blasted authors that are almost too beautiful to smoke. Almost.- morton

Dunhill - the tobacco makes a difference
I'm a big fan of many Dunhill tobaccos. They are quite high quality tobaccos and burn very well. EMP and Elizabethan Mix are both very nice and have a place in my regular rotation.- morton

Options if order gets caught by Canada Customs
As a consumer of tobacco products purchased via internet, I would not in any circumstances do anything to mess up my tobacco e-tailor (mostly 4Noggins) as, taxed or not, hit with customs or not, I can get tobaccos that would be impossible to acquire any other way. Our pipe brothers in the USA...- morton

Germains Medium Flake - New Tin, Same Tobacco?
Germain's Medium Flake has been one of my first choices when I reach for a tobacco out of my stash for a while now. I've got three tins aging and one jarred for smoking. It has quite a unique tin aroma, and I know this sounds gross but it smells almost like dead grass or slightly rotting hay to...- morton

Show Us Your Pipe Rack or Cabinet
Yeah, Ruger414, it was either collect pipes and tobacco or chase women. Being as the lady I have now would strongly disapprove of me chasing women, I wisely chose to collect pipes and tobacco. This is an old picture of my tobacco cabinet I've added another 30 or so pounds in tins and bulk jars...- morton

Show Us Your Pipe Rack or Cabinet
It has two glass doors in front but the glare wouldn't allow me the luxury of closing them and taking a photo. I'm pleased with the work and it looks really nice where it is. Its free standing against the wall, i had to install a cleat which holds it up.- morton

Show Us Your Pipe Rack or Cabinet
Here is a picture (hopefully) of my new pipe cabinet. I waited nearly a year for it, with pipes scattered about the house on various racks. Not all my pipes are in it so will have to thin the herd, I'm afraid.- morton

Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture
I am a fan of most of the Dunhill offerings but its a toss up between EMP and Elizabethan Mixture for my absolute favorite. I bought several tins of Elizabethan Mix when it first came out and didn't get around to trying it for quite a while. When I did crack that first tin, it disappeared rather...- morton

Opinions on FVF and Mississippi River baccy
+1 rsuninv FVF (fresh)with some drying time is very good. With some age on it and prepped correctly, can be an amazing smoke. I haven't tried Mississippi River yet but its on my list.- morton

Dunhill "Royal Yacht"
While I've tried and like most of the Dunhill line, EMP and Elizabethan Mix are my favorites. Royal Yacht is a hit or miss with me. I've got some three year old stuff that sometimes hits the spot and sometimes makes me wonder why I have it. Kind of weird because its the only Dunhill tobacco that...- morton
