    Newish Apple Tobacco - Sutliff's Candy Apple

    Looks like Sutliff just released a new Halloween bulk blend called Candy Apple (available at TP). Perhaps it was available last year since it's listed as a "2022 model" (whatever that means). Virginia and black Cavendish ribbon cut topped with apple and a little sugar for sweetness. Not my...

    Coffee Grinder

    I'm a simpleton when it comes to coffee. It's really just a vessel for caffeine and I'm a caffeine junkie. Like my women, I don't discriminate. Cold, thick, and bitter is fine by me. Normally, I buy pre-ground coffee. Chock Full of Nuts comes in a large tin canister, is cheaper, doesn't need...

    Peterson 2023 Christmas Pipe

    Peterson just revealed the 2023 Christmas pipe would be a deep ruby sandblast with silver bands. Source with picture for those without Facebook (I'm looking at you @ashdigger ):

    Smash Mouth Singer Dies

    The lead singer for Smash Mouth just passed at age 56 from liver failure after about 2 days in hospice. The most widespread fame came from the Shrek movies with the Monkee's cover of I'm a Believer. The band also appeared in the under appreciated movie, Rat Race (with an all-star cast). All...

    Favorite Wing Sauce and Preferences

    I love wings and a local grocer often has them reasonably priced. Without a fryer, I tend to roast seasoned wings (salt, pepper, garlic powder) at 475 until crispy, toss in a sauce, then broil until crispy again. I get decent results, but can't find a wing sauce that "does it" for me. I'm...

    125th Anniversary of the Peterson System Pipe

    This year marks the 125th Anniversary of the Peterson System Pipe. The PPN blog has a few nice articles about it, including this week's article with photos by @Nevaditude @ashdigger and possibly a few other members (including myself). Announce yourselves, Gents. For those interested in...

    Ketchup - Storage and Uses

    I use ketchup occasionally, such as for fries and some burgers. Ketchup is also a secret ingredient used sparingly to bring out the umami in some dishes that you normally wouldn't expect (like chicken soup - trust me on this). My favorite brand is Hunt's, but Heinz is also great. I keep...

    Little Things to Boost Morale

    I work in an office with several staff members. Hours are basically 9 to 5 with one 11 to 7 shift each week, but I regularly go in early and stay late due to high volume work, client control, and putting out the occasional fire. Staff mainly get along and management has recently done little...

    Family Recipes

    Food is a basic necessity and while some think food is merely fuel, I believe food to be so much more. Cooking and eating are one of the few activities that involve all five senses. Likewise, food can invoke strong memories of the past while transcending time by having recipes passed down for...

    Pipe Smoking Competition in Michigan

    There will be a pipe smoking competition in Northern Michigan (Clio) on April 23rd. For those who need to drive north, stop by Paul's Pipe Shop in Flint on the way. Frankenmuth and the outlets in Birch Run are nearby and Flint has some neat museums if making a weekend out of it...

    New Cobs with Acrylic Stems

    Members frequently post about cobs and acrylic stems. Missouri Meerschaum just released two new cobs with acrylic stems, the Frank and BWC #9. The bowls are different and one is stained. Both have blue stems. Reasonably priced (cheaper than the Charles Towne Cobbler I have with an acrylic...

    Stokkebye Shag Blends

    A beer store near me carries some pouched pipe tobacco and a few other offerings. Currently, they have two Stokkebye shag blends: Norwegian and Amsterdam. The descriptions sound interesting, with a mix of fire cured Kentucky and Virginia for Amsterdam and Virginia, Burley and Orientals for the...

    Paul's Pipe Shop in the News

    Paul's Pipe Shop in Flint is an institution. Combination of pipe shop and pipe hospital, with oil cured Cayuga pipes and its own tobacco blends (Arrowhead is my favorite aromatic, a kitchen sink blend of tobaccos and flavors), Paul's sits between two condemned buildings. A recent article is...

    Left Handed Forum Members

    Approximately 12% of the population is left handed. Certain demographics of people seemingly have a higher percentage of left handed people (i.e. musicians). I'm curious as to the forum membership here. Curiosity only. I'm right handed.

    National Plum Pudding Day 2.12.23

    So, today is apparently Plum Pudding Day. Why is a Christmas dessert celebrated in February? Hell if I know. However, it means SPC and TP have a flash sale with 15% off all Plum Pudding tobaccos. I was gifted a tin of Plum Pudding, but the Latakia in it gives me reserve (since I only enjoy...

    Peterson System Spigot Series

    For those who couldn't get enough of Peterson's 2023 St. Patrick's Day pipe or are interested in a different style, SPC will have Peterson's new System Spigot series pipe on 2.14.23. According to a Facebook post, the "series will be available in a craggy, black sandblast finish, complete with...

    Booze in New Zealand

    Paging @Ahi Ka @mortonbriar @DeerparkDays or anyone else that can comment? My mom is going to New Zealand soon and asked if I wanted anything in particular. Is there any particular booze New Zealand is known for or worth checking out?

    Cleaning Antique Meerschaum Cutty Case

    I'm intrigued by older pipes, especially antique meerschaum pipes that have been pre-colored. I finally found one in my price range since I am prone to breaking things at times - I'm the reason we can't have nice things (and true to form, I snapped the stem while cleaning it, so some company...

    Tempering a Sweet Tooth

    I am a large American and my weight vastly fluctuates. As a result, I don't buy cookies, candy, or chips because I just can't eat one (the exception to the purchase rule is for chips and salsa and I stop when the salsa dish runs dry). Lately, I've been tempering my sweet tooth with fancier...

    Favorite Jarred Salsa

    I'm a sucker for chips and salsa in Mexican restaurants. I'll fill up and take my meal home if needed and think it is a crime when they charge for even the first basket. On occasion, I'll make restaurant style salsa at home with canned tomatoes, chopped onions, fresh or pickled jalapenos, and...
