Wilke Tobacconist
Vermont Maple Cavendish is good if you like sweet aro’s and really, really like the flavor of maple syrup. That’s the only one I’ve tried and it’s really good, with caveats- MikeDub

Big Change For Me
When I first picked up a pipe Latakia’s were my favorite. When I came back to smoking I couldn’t stand them. I did, on a whim, pick up an oz of Lane HGL which is an aromatic with a touch of Latakia and it’s become my aromatic of choice. The smokiness of the Latakia seems to carry the sweetness...- MikeDub

My Uncle's Antler Pipe
Not sure I would smoke it but that pipe is pretty sweet! -
Different bits...
It definitely looks like the older version that I don't care for. I couldn't understand the visceral dislike of P-lips when I first started really getting into pipes because I started with the newer version and couldn't see why anyone would have strong feelings about it. Then I got a couple of...- MikeDub

Different bits...
There’s really no way to know without trying several different stem shapes. My personal favorite is the modern wide & thin P-lip from Peterson, but I can’t stand the older style P-lip that are thin and rounded. The safest place to start if you can’t see them in person first is a wide/thin...- MikeDub

Cube Cut
Cube cuts are fantastic. They pretty much smoke themselves if you gravity fill and get a good ember going.- MikeDub

Would like some advice and opinions on tobaccos
Mac Baren Vanilla Roll Cake is another one that has a very obvious vanilla flavor. They use Madagascar Vanilla for this one which I think stands out more than the usual vanilla flavors used for most aromatics. It's probably my favorite aromatic- MikeDub

Cat safe tobacco drying
My cat likes to try and cover up the tobacco when I’m drying it but since I leave it on a hard surface she’s so far been unsuccessful. She’s never tried to eat it yet thankfully- MikeDub

Best Briar Brexit Thread
My intuition is that a “magical pipe” has less to do with the material and more with the geometry and engineering of the pipe and how that interacts with your smoking technique and mouth shape or taste bud distribution. Something like a 1+1=3 situation, where the whole is greater than the sum of...- MikeDub

Cornell & Diehl’s DT Trio
I think this thread has pushed me over the edge in trying a DT blend. I saw some at my local B&M today and almost pulled the trigger. I think I'll try an ounce of the bulk Crooner they have next time I'm in- MikeDub

Show Off Your Petersons Here!
Do they actually function like a System pipe? I’ve got a few of the meerschaum Systems and the reservoir doesn’t seem to catch much moisture at all and honestly doesn’t seem worth it. It’s just another place for gunk to gather that needs to be cleaned, as opposed to the briar versions where I’m...- MikeDub
