    Eldritch Pipes Pics and Descriptions Please

    Hey y’all. I think Chris Kelly at Eldritch Pipes is designing and making fabulous pipes but I’ve not smoked one or even seen one in real life. Anyone have any insight, thoughts and/or pics to share on the topic? Thank you in advance.

    Overlapping New and Old Tobacco

    Almost done with WCC 558 so I did what any piper with taste would do and I ordered more. The new batch came in before the old was totally finished. I emptied the jar of the old, washed it (the jar, not the baccy) thoroughly with hot water and soap, dried it thoroughly then placed the old back in...

    Whatcha Smokin, Hubble?

    LJ Peretti #8 Slices Crumbs and Shake

    Hello all. Writing for a little advice. I just received 8 ounces of the wonderful LJ Peretti #8 slices and there was a HUGE amount of non-flaked tobacco in my portion. My guess is that 25% of the weight was in non-flake or “shake” or “broken” form which I found surprising and unexpected and...

    Wilke Smoky Sweet Chocolate

    Really good. Similar to Bob’s Chocolate Flake but much more well behaved in the bowl. This is easy to pack, light, and maintain. My leather-like pallet detects no Lakeland essence which I generally don’t care for but struggled to find in Bobs anyway. Burley and Latakia spritzed with a rich dark...

    Rouxgaroux Is Gone

    Boo!! I called and Ernie, who was nicer than “Boston Nice” said it went in 20 mins. Oh well, better luck next time. I hope all you lucky ones enjoy. :)

    Carolina Red Flake Is Yucky

    No thank you. I don’t like it at all. I really like Watch City Old Dominion and 558 flakes. I love Veermaster and OGS. I like Opening Night and 507-C and Newminster 400 and PS LNF and HU Haymaker and…you get the idea. I cannot wrap my mind or pallette around Carolina Red Flake. This tin of 2018...

    Storing Pipes Disassembled

    Does anyone else store their pipes disassembled? I do because I feel like maybe it helps to dry em out more and/or faster. Any veterans care to offer pros, cons and opinions?

    PS LBF x Newminster 400 Flake

    I crumbled and then combined one coin of PS LBF and one strip of Newminster 400 flake and let ‘em dry for about 15 mins. I purchased both in October of 22 and both have been jarred since then. After drying, I packed a Mark Twain MM Cob and started on my journey. This blend of blends took the...

    Tobacco Curing In A Barn In Tennessee

    My father in law took this pic 2 years ago on our way home from a pumpkin patch in the fall. Anyone have any idea what leaf this might be? My guess is Burley.

    HU Moroccan Bazaar

    This well broken flake of straight VA is delicious and, as far as I know, fairly unique. This is definitely an aromatic as it’s topped with flavors of spices and vanilla and maybe some fruit and more spices. There’s black pepper and cinnamon and vanilla and apparently a whole bunch of other shit...

    FVF And Cringle Flake Burn My Tongue Instantly.

    No other tobacco does this. Regardless of pipe used, tobacco moisture, and packing technique, FVF instantly bites me even before the charring light is done. It’s like a fine mist of acid (burning kind not fun kind) is being sprayed on my tongue. Cringle Flake is the same but slightly less...

    HU Old Fredder’s Broken Flake

    It’s chunky and definitely used to be flaked before it was broken and tinned. The tin smell is of delicious Virginia tobacco and what I think is Perique. The flavor is sometimes sweet and sometimes just a touch fruity, maybe 25% similar to what I remember Marlin Flake tastes like. There is also...

    Parfait Baccy Layering

    Dudes. I just did it for the first time. I used Sutliff Crumble Kake VA/Per on top and Seattle Pipe Club’s Galloping Gertie on the bottom. Both excellent tobaccos that are right up my alley. I like this a lot. I’ll do this again. Anyone else making layered bowls?

    Wilke 531

    I’m smoking it now. I like it. Jiminks gave it 2 stars. I don’t know shit about pipe tobacco, especially the way Jim does but I know I like this. It’s zesty, like what I think Red Virginia tastes like. It’s woody and a little earthy like what I think Burley might bring to the table. I’m not...

    Making the Most of a Ghost

    Title edited. See Rule 9. I seldom smoke aromatics or briars but when I do it’s Cult Blood Red Moon and it’s in one of my 2 Freddy Prieto briars. Smoking CBRM in this pipe has ghosted the shit out of it. Guess what! The ghost of CBRM with 2022 Cringle Flake is absolutely divine. It also goes...

    HU Indaba

    Virginia, Dark Fired Virginia and Kentucky comprise this delicious and unusual broken flake blend. It’s a little sweet, a touch smoky and quite earthy. Virginias (both dark fired and not dark fired) are up front with the Kentucky in the not too distant rear. Like with almost all other HU...

    HU Flanagan

    Delicious, unique, complex satisfying. HU Flanagan is a delicate flake comprised sweet, bready Virginia, DFK, Oriental, and Perique. It’s brown with specks and striations and, unsmoked, smells sweet and smoky. I like to fold a flake and jam it lengthwise into the bowl which fits perfectly in my...
