Petes03's 4000th Post, A Look Back.
Back when I joined the forum, I had been smoking a pipe for several years, and I thought I was fairly learned in the ways of the pipe. Boy, was I wrong! I had my 1/2 dozen blends or so that I smoked, a couple of aros, burleys, and an English or two, no flakes, no straight Va's or Va/Pers, and...- petes03

OGS In The 100gr. Tin.... Flake Or Ribbon?
I've really taken a liking to Orlik Golden Sliced here lately, and I've bought several 50gr. tins. I've seen the 100gr tins in stock at several places and I've thought about getting some to save a little money. The thing is, they don't seem to specify if it is flake like the 50gr or not. I know...- petes03

Where's Lawrence?
Has anybody heard from him? I haven't seen him on here in over a week, and have been wondering about him. I suspect he may be sitting with Harris, starring at the walls, but I hope he's OK! Wherever you are Lawrence, I hope all is well!- petes03

Slightly Aromatic Flakes.
I've really been into flakes and coins here lately. Most of them have been either straight Va's, Va/Burs, Va/Pers or some combination thereof. But I've also discovered a few slightly aromatic flakes that I really enjoy. They all behave well, much the same as my non-aro flakes do. They offer the...- petes03

Escudo vs. Dunhill Deluxe Navy Rolls.
I've recently been on a Va, Va/Per coin/flake sampling binge, and these two have even among my favorites so far. I know a lot of guys feel that these are one and the same blend, but I find them to be slightly different. I've now smoked at least half a tin of each and love them both, but I give...- petes03

Mac Baren's Mixture Flake.
I'm just finishing up my first bowl of Mixture Flake as I type this. I have to say, I didn't quite know what to expect with this one. The description says that it is slightly aromatic, an assessment that I completely agree with. It smokes cool and sweet, but not overly sweet. There is still...- petes03

An Accurate Scale For A Good Price?
I've been wanting to get myself a good scale, that measures in grams, to weigh the bulk tobaccos in my cellar. It would have to be on a pretty tight budget though, and preferably digital. I don't even have a clue as to where to look! Any suggestions?- petes03

What Happened To The Broncos?
Man, that was a BIG disappointment! I was glad the Seahawks made it, but I was rooting for my boy Peyton and the Broncos to win. The Broncos didn't look like the same team out there tonight! They shot theirselves in the foot from the start! I honestly figured it would be a lot closer than that...- petes03
