London mixture vs 965
Got them both, like them both. London mix earlier in the day, 965 in the evening. You won't go wrong with either.- morton

Sadness in Oviedo, FL
My sympathies for your loss, Doug. I lost my mother about six months ago and every day was a struggle. She suffered much her final few years and I'm glad that she isn't suffering any longer but I still miss her and think of her daily. I hope it gets better for you in time.- morton

Fast Five Final Questions
1. Right at the moment, an Upshall silver spigot bent apple that I just got from Briar Blues 2. Germain's Medium Flake 3. Good coffee in the morning, beer or scotch at night 4. Music mostly jazz but I'll read a book and smoke while its playing 5. I was sitting downstairs in the man cave...- morton

A New Way To Send Money
We've had something like that in Canada for awhile. Its called EMT (Electronic Money Transfer) and its as easy as email. Once you sign up for it through your bank, you can send money via email to another person or business in Canada (not sure of other countries) generally for free. Its fast...- morton

Ultimate Dinner & Smoke Invitation
I'm a fan so I'd take Cary Grant as my first choice, as he smoked a pipe, was apparently a gentleman in real life, as well as (usually) the screen and second choice, JFK. I would imagine that he may have a story or two to tell, both politically and personally.- morton

Ryan Alden Commisioned Billiard
Beautiful pipes all. Ryan has a couple on the way for me also, I can hardly wait. I've asked him to post photos as I am tech unabled but they might be on his website too. He made (for lack of a better term) a chubby bent billiard/author - think GBD #9242, and a volcano. If the pipes look half as... -
Ghosting
+1 on the Lakelands, cosmic! I ghosted one of my cherrywood meers with G&H Ennerdale Flake. Up to that point, I'd smoked everything I could stuff into that thing, aros, lats, Vapers, you name and nothing. ONE bowl of Ennerdale Flake and it was ghosted. Mrenglish warned me, too. Thats okay, its...- morton

The tobacco to keep you happy whilst studying
Peterson's University Flake, "The Thinking Man's Tobacco". Dry a flake, pack by either rubbing it out or "matchstick" it with some rubbed out on top like I do, and prepare to study. An hour later, you'll be puffing on ash and wondering why your pipe went out. I'm not going to study but I think...- morton

What's your everyday smoke and pipe?
Any given day I'll pack one of my meers with the tobacco style I'm into that week/month. Today, its a cherrywood meer loaded up with Dunhill Elizabethan Mix and a large mug of Earl Grey tea. After this bowl, I'm going to smoke a bowl of G&H Ennerdale Flake as a while ago, mrenglish gave me a...- morton

Name Your Favorite Pipe Brands - in Order
Favorite pipes in my stable : All my 10 or so meerschaums, Peterson's(most with P-Lips - got lots of those), Dunhills (just because), Charatan's Make, GBDs, Edwards, and then there's the Artisan pipes from Ryan Alden (lonestar) although each handcrafted pipe is dedicated to a certain tobacco so... -
Saturday Night Fights - Revisited - Battle Of The VA Flakes
Betty and Veronica from the Archie comics, Ginger and Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island. SG FVF is somehow exotic, certainly more difficult to prepare and can really reward with a fabulous smoke (or not!), while Dunhill Flake is just a steady, reliable performer who gives a good smoke time in...- morton

Which Peterson should I get?
As other posters have mentioned in previous posts/threads re: "Peterson quality issues", you might want to look at older Petersons rather than new ones. I am particularly fond of Pete's system pipes, especially in the P-Lip versions and you should be able to find them as estate pipes from...- morton

Guiness vs Murphy's
My first, only and now ex-wife fell for me because I could brew a dead ringer for the Murphy's she remembered from home back in Ireland. I even ran it on tap at home with the nitrogen dispense system. The perks of being a professional brewer, I suppose. Ahhh, I don't miss that woman at all. I...- morton

Looking for a Dime-Size VA/Per Spun-Cut
Wessex Sovereign Curly Cut sounds like what you're looking for. A small dime sized VaPer coin that should work well for what you described. Good luck in your quest for perique desensitization, it took me a long time to be able to handle red Virginias without feeling like I'd burned my mouth on...- morton

Ryan Alden Canadian Hatfield
I'm fortunate to be the owner of few commissioned pipes from Ryan. One of them, the bent Dublin on the commissioned pipes page of his website, is one of my most cherished pipes. I had asked for a bent Dublin for smoking flakes and told him to let the briar determine the final shape. It was my... -
Tobacco Blender Russ Ouellette on Radio Show Jan 16, 2014
In honor of the occasion, I shall pour a solid three fingers of Bushmill's single malt Irish Whiskey and fire up a bowl of Peterson's Irish Whiskey while listening. I do have a question, however. What the heck is Liver Twist and is it dangerous?- morton
