    G.L. Pease: Regents Flake

    This is quickly becoming one of my top three favorite blends. Typically I am not a G.L. Pease fan, I find many of Greg's blends to be a bit bland but this one is one of my tops. Flavor: If umami was a pipe blend, it would be Regent Flake. In fact, I would say this is the sweetest/ most umami...

    Absolutely love that shape, band and Cumberland stem. I need to find one of these!

    Was Pipe Smoking ever Popular in Sweden?

    Thanks! It sounds a lot like the US. As smoking decreased in popularity, so did pipesmoking. Snus is really great but there is something magical about pipe smoking that I can't seem to describe

    Was Pipe Smoking ever Popular in Sweden?

    Somehow I never realized Borkum was Swedish, I always thought it was Norwegian!

    2023 Regency Flake in and IMP Lattice. This is slowly becoming one of my top three favorite blends. Featuring some of my home grown tobacco color curing

    Was Pipe Smoking ever Popular in Sweden?

    Pipe smoking seemed to pretty common and popular both today and throughout the 19th and 20th centuries Europe. However I wondered if the advent of snus in the mid-early 19th century choked out pipe smoking amongst Swedes. Was dual usage (snus and pipe) ever common in Sweden?

    O OJK is one of the best burley blends of all time and no one can change my mind.

    Thats a gorgeous meer. Really love that shape. Best part is is that they already got the coloring process started for you!

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2024?***

    Smoking some Nording Tumbleweed on my in-laws porch in Seward Alaska out of one of my FiL's no-name bend billiards (I forgot my pipe at home). This might be one of the best aro's I have ever smoked. No tonguebite or that over-heated cavendish taste, just a nice smooth vanilla, Virginia and...

    Ok. So Escudo or Peterson De Luxe Navy Rolls

    Some say that Escudo and Peterson De Luxe Navy Rolls are literally the same thing, same blender, same contents, same factory, just different tins. Personally I enjoy Petersons more. I never understood the hype of Escudo other than the heavenly smell that comes from it.

    Collecting Ethos

    I found that when I first started pipe smoking I had the need to purchase any pipe that caught my eye. Sort of a bell curve, as interest in the hobby grew, the more pipes I would want to acquire but as I got settled into it and the fascination with smoking became more of a lifestyle thing, I...

    Carter Hall Blending

    That is a great idea. 1Q is way too sweet for me but the two together could be really tasty

    Carter Hall Blending

    I finally got the chance to try Carter Hall today at my pipe club and I was actually really impressed with it for an OTC blend. It was however, a tiny bit on the bland side but I could see it being an all day smoke. Does anyone have any mixing recommendations to really make this blend shine?

    New IMP Coloring Progress

    Thats really interesting. I would say its just from hand oils until I see the shank is coloring too. I am actually really curious as to why that is. I have seen some MM corncobs color up on the bowl as well, brown like tar.

    New IMP Coloring Progress

    Same here. I have a soft spot for lattice but its definitely not one I would go around town smoking. More of a "quiet night on the patio with a glass of scotch" pipe.

    What happened in Vegas ... ???

    That was by far the least convincing video I have seen lol. What people dont realize is that Nevada, Utah, New Mexico and Texas host the nations most classified testing bases. Most of the UFO stuff people see are tests the government are performing. People get all wound up by UFO top and a...

    Any Advice on Quitting Snus?

    All good. Behavioral might help. I’ve quit once before for about a month when I made that post about a year ago and it was the hardest thing ever. I do like the idea of adding salt/pepper to it to make it foul tasting

    Any Advice on Quitting Snus?

    Like I mentioned, we resolved this as I explained that it was much safer than smoking and we came to a compromise. Now I’m realizing that I enjoy the pipe more but have really become nicotine dependent.

    Any Advice on Quitting Snus?

    Yes this is the second time. Wife doesn’t mind anymore, we came to an understanding. I think before I was trying to gauge whether or not I should listen to her 😂. Now I’m trying to quit of my own will.
