***What Are You Smoking, August 2023?***
8AM in Atlanta, surprisingly cool and dry on the patio, Bayou Morning in a Peterson System Rusticated 313. This was one of the first three blends I bought six months ago when I started smoking pipes. It has really evolved into a nice, cool smoke.- ParkitoATL

Autochrome Photography
It's not nostalgia for film at all. Although I have a state of the art darkroom, I shoot digital almost exclusively now. It's simply that photography has gone from being an art that had a history, a craft, and a tradition to a "year zero" art form where the overwhelming majority of...- ParkitoATL

Autochrome Photography
Thank you, sir. I appreciate that. It's sad that so few people still care about quality in photography. I look at portraits made back in the 1900s and there was a level of craft and respect for human dignity that these largely-nameless photographers brought to work every day. Now, it's just...- ParkitoATL

Autochrome Photography
As a 25+ year professional photographer, I have worked with all kinds of film and cameras but also successfully crossed the bridge to digital around 2005. I knew many old timers who just said "forget it!" Much of what people perceive as the "sameness" in digital photography is that most digital...- ParkitoATL

Peterson Army Filter/System Convertable
I have a 9mm filtered 303 and unfiltered 313 and XL315 Peterson System pipes. One thing I love is that the stems are all interchangeable, so I can compare filter and non-filtered midway through a bowl. A filter really gives you that last 10% of smoothness that puts a smoke over the top. Last...- ParkitoATL

Granger by Lane
I wish I could try Granger by the ounce. I have so many burley blends it would be hard to go deep on 7oz without having tried it.- ParkitoATL

Peterson Short Army Coating and Break-in Questions
I wonder if that was what was in my System 303 Heritage. It was a bare bowl with some little dark spots on it and would smoke along just fine and then I'd get hit with an unbelievably acrid taste. I thought maybe I was burning the briar. Fortunately, I discovered the recipe for the Peterson bowl...- ParkitoATL

Peterson Short Army Coating and Break-in Questions
First three half bowls through the Rusticated System XL315: PS Black Cavendish, PS Dutch Cavendish, Haunted Bookshop. What a great start with a great pipe. The bowl coating was a bit thinner on this pipe, almost like a half-coat, you could see some light briar in there but it was enough so you...- ParkitoATL

Peterson Short Army Coating and Break-in Questions
Just recently started breaking in a Rusticated System 313, and I love the Peterson Bowl Coating. PetersonPipeNotes covered this in several posts, (search for “all purpose bowl coating”) and the comments there were all rave reviews. My 313 smoked beautifully from the second bowl onward; the...- ParkitoATL

Cuban - Honduran - Nicaraguan - Dominican
Top Cubans and Montefortuna are both good sites that sell singles if you want to go down the rabbit hole. Honestly, don't waste your time. I went deep on a bunch of Cubans before the INSANE price hikes, and they weren't exactly cheap then. Now, they are just f**king ridiculous. Have I had some...- ParkitoATL

Best Bulk Tobaccos for Aging
One thing that does seem to help is some oxygen. We've all noticed how a cigar will rapidly improve in taste over a month AFTER you remove it from the cellophane, which greatly limits air and water exchange. I've found the same with pipe tobacco. By moving it from the bulk bag or freshly popped...- ParkitoATL

Best Bulk Tobaccos for Aging
Virginias have finally started to hit really nicely for me and the Stokkebye Bullseye would be right at the top of the list for me to stock up on. Although I smoked one coin last night (probably 6 months old) and the dang thing burned for 75 minutes and was so smooth and delicious that I can't...- ParkitoATL

Best Bulk Tobaccos for Aging
Laying down some stock to age is mostly because I buy so much more than I smoke that it just ages naturally. You see these people who spend thousands of dollars on Cuban cigars and then claim they won't touch them for 20 years. Pfffft!! I just think that's ridiculous.- ParkitoATL
