    Thinking about adding a Pete

    I'm a big Peterson fan, but I've never bought a new one yet. I've got my eye on the Hopkins, but I havent pulled the trigger. Sometimes some of their rustication on their cheaper lines looks mailed in, but I feel that way about some Savinellis too. Mike at Briar Blues had a whole slew of...

    VAPer's for a newbie

    Yeah. Perique just made a shopping list for me. Cept for the Fillmore. I just can't get that to work for me. It starts out fine but ends up muddy. (Like Kajun Kake) After the third time I just tossed it back in the jar and plan on waiting a year or so.

    Pipes and spirits

    I agree. I tend to favor stouts with VaPers. Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Stout and Tudor Castle is a match made in heaven. I've learning my way around scotch lately, so I haven't wanted to smoke while drinking it. However I do really enjoy a simple Cavendish with a glass of Buffalo Trace with one...

    Hilson Pipes

    Yeah JT. I find bulldogs and Rhodesians are my go to for 30 minute smokes, plus they just travel so well. Sebastian Beo has some very nice looking pipes IMO, some with smaller bowls.

    Muddy are you in the states?

    VAPer's for a newbie

    Parkers got a good idea there. Its very light in Perique, but it smokes very well. I would also throw out PS Luxury Navy Flake for some citrus, Escudo for some sweet hay and pepper, and Prairie Wind for a sweet, cool burning VaPer. I'm a big fan of Louisiana Red myself. For something a little...

    Headed to Disney World, Any Pipe Shops?

    Hey Top. Good to see the Meerschuam Man back in town!

    Hilson Pipes

    Good choice Anthony. I know Foggy enjoys his vintage Hilson's and he's pretty discerning IMO. I do not have the most refined tastes, but I have 4 older Belgium Hilsons and 1 newer Holland made one. All have been great smokers, with one of them being the best VaPer pipe I own. If they had one...

    Views about these OTC's.

    I smoke Captain Black Dark a few times a year. It's got a sweet/cola taste at times.

    Headed to Disney World, Any Pipe Shops?

    I went last Jan/Feb and stayed on the grounds. There are a few places to smoke, but I was so busy I didn't bother. Our resort did sell cigars though. Hope you have a great trip.

    Peterson "copies"?

    I've got about 7 systems. I don't notice them smoking any cooler or drier honestly. But I very much enjoy them. I think the plip vs fishtail is a bigger adjustment to get used too. That and not all plips are made equal IMO.

    Chacom panelled billiard review

    Very nice review. I looked at nearly that exact same pipe. Your "honest" comment struck a chord with me. Its a very solid pipe.

    Dunhill Early Morning Pipe (EMP)

    Harold I'm pretty much the same as Cosmic but I dont boil my jars, just soap and water. I do use new lids each time. The oldest thing I've got in my cellar is only two years old though. I wouldn't trust any cardboard tins. Let me know if you want to try some Leo. I'd be glad to send you some.

    My Home for Unwanted Pipes

    Ditto on the Grabows. I've been really happy with my Starfire and Viscounts. Enjoy!

    Dunhill Early Morning Pipe (EMP)

    Harold I saw you mentioned some EMP "matches". I tried H&H's Daybreak on a lark. It's mild and pretty tasty on it's own, but it isn't as rich and full as EMP is. I don't think Daybreak is bad at all, just not something I'd stockpile. It's not meant to be a match, but have you tried Lane's...

    Going Home

    I was being practical when I wanted to name my kid's One and Two. I was vetoed. Now I have three. I should have named them "Get", "In", and "Here".

    Should I Do My Homework???

    This. My ten year old is the same way. Once 4 PM hits he can't do anything but eat dinner till the homework is done and done right. Fading. I just have a high school diploma. Uni. I just grabbed Locke and Key Volume 6, but my wife stole it to read it first.
