    Missed the watches when they came out and have been looking for one since. Congrats! A great find!

    Help with Autumn Evening...

    I love AE, but like any natural, handmade product it can be inconsistent (even though only a single employee at C&D blends it now). If you suspect it is dryness interfering with the flavor, I would recommend (and usually do) put a 58% boveda pack in the tin or jar and leave it for a month then...

    TAD Acquisitions 2025

    As I understand it, these are only again the European market. But you can get them both via Estervals and it is in stock pretty regularly. The 3 yr. cask aged Virginia is seriously underrated IMHO...

    If they end up making spigots with condensers in normal runs, I'll have to turn over about half my collection...😬 Cause man I love the spigot with a condenser idea..

    Peterson Carved Meerschaum

    As a CPG, I'll give my two cents (as always YMMV): They come up with some regular frequency (at least here in the US), and there is a reasonably large variation in carving of the shapes. I'm not sure what the frequency of listings is in the Ireland (that's where this one is listed). I still...

    What Pipes Do You Wish You Had?

    This is definitely not one I would normally gravitate to as a CPG, but there is something about this pipe that just speaks to me...I contacted the owner but it had been sold the day before...Angelo Fassi Horn...

    Is a Peterson System Standard Better Than Other Pipes in its Price Range?

    I'm with @FLDRD in that with only a few exceptions, I smoke only Pete's, and I've made it to the stage in my smoking career that I'll only smoke Pete's that are complete system pipes with a condenser. If you are just starting out, a system standard is fine (especially if you are unsure if you...

    I think it must be rolling, because I "made" it up to silver this year, and I just checked and I am still at silver...maybe someone should email SP?

    Questions for Leonardw: Part Deux

    I'm in: Is Sutliff going to keep making things like 515 red & other bulk until the end of March so there will still be stock coming until then? Same question for the SPC blends. Or have they already finished the runs and what is out there is out there... Thx!

    Best English / Balkan blends for aging

    To add one comment on Star of the East (SOE). I (and many others) find SOE flake very different than the normal ribbon cut version, and I like the SOE flake much more...YMMV - Good luck!

    Best English / Balkan blends for aging

    ^ This is good stuff after a couple of years...Fresh, it can be a little harsh...

    Best English / Balkan blends for aging

    I think that this has to do with what you might be looking for from the aging process. Many folks like their English blends to be a little stronger, etc. and the aging can tone the strength down a little. I have aged (not all perfect lat blends) and had good luck with: Early Morning Pipe...
