    Best No Nonsense Way to Pack and Break in a Pipe

    I have never used a "method" for breaking in a pipe, I have always just packed it as normal and smoked it. Has worked just fine for 40 years.

    TAD Acquisitions 2025

    Just purchased an estate Peterson from Blue Room Briars 2022 St. Patrick's bent apple (221). I love the green stem, and this will be the first army mount type in my collection.

    Underrated Blends

    Peterson's Old Dublin. A very pleasant smoke, it has been in my regular rotation for quite a while. Those times when I'm not sure what I'm in the mood for I will usually pack a bowl of Old Dublin.

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2025?***

    Ending the day with a MM Country Gentleman stuffed with Sasieni Balkan that I jarred back in 2022.

    I feel exactly the same, both drawn to and yet unsure of the Author shape. Yet I keep looking at them and I know that I will acquire one at some point and it will be a Savinelli.

    I love Sillem's Black. Incoming: 2 - 50g tins of Ravenwood Moose Marmalade. It sounded like a very interesting blend, and since I have enjoyed every Ravenwood blend I have tried so far, I decided to give it a try.
