    You\'ve got peanut butter in my chocolate!

    I love Penzance. Its deep, smokey, spicy, rich and wonderful. It's the wonder blend. I think adding a bit of it to just about most other tobaccos makes them better. I also love Caminetto Lombardo. I'm sure I've said it before but I'm pretty much the only one who ever did seeing as how its...

    NASPC Show in Columbus

    Who is going? Who has been there before? How does it compare to Chicago? I'm considering driving down this year.

    Park Lane Trout Brook

    It's easy to see why this is their best selling aro! They handed out samples of this at the Chicago show and wow, it is fantastic. It has that similar smoothness that 1Q has but has a richer, fuller flavor. Unlike many aromatics, this has a sweeter flavor to it. I think the topping is caramel...

    Park Lane Knightsbridge

    I just ordered more of this after finishing the last of a few samples. I'm rarely blow away by a tobacco but this one really sings to me. It has a Penzance like quality to it but it isn't a copy, it is its own blend. I find it similar to Poul Olsens My Own Blend 1000. The Orientals and...

    Couldn\'t decide....

    Tonight I couldn't decide between 1Q and Penzance so I mixed some up 50/50. Now I still cant decide but this time I can't decide if its good or not. lol. I would have thought the Penzance would dominate but I'm amazed at how much the 1Q shines through. The Penzance adds a lot of depth but...

    HP Mini Review

    I recently was able to pick up an HP Mini netbook for my daughters birthday and she used it once and decided she wanted a Mac notebook. Rather than return it, my wife said why do you keep it so you can surf the net in our room. After the defibrillator did its job, I thanked her and started...

    CAO Moontrance first impressions

    Cracked open a tin of this tonight and loaded up my first bowl. The label says exotic fruit and bourbon vanilla are the flavorings. The tin aroma is extraordinary. It is fruity but not a fruit I am familiar with. I can't smell any bourbon vanilla in it but still, the in not is amazing. Upon...

    fixed a bad smoking pipe

    I have a Dunhill pipe that is in one of my favorite shapes and finishes but it has really been a disappointment as a smoker. In fact its my only bad smoking Dunhillo I've been afraid of doing anything to it because it has some sentimental value as my first "expensive" pipe. After 25 years of...

    Break in differences

    Hobies temp question made me think of this topic. One thing I've noticed, at least for me is that different pipe brands tend to break in differently. My Upshall's all smoked very hot at first but then when they were broken in, they are wonderful. My early Dunhill's (70's and 80's era) all...

    Questions for GL Pease

    Greg, Thanks much for letting us ask questions! The first one I have is, how did you become a tobacco blender? How did you get your start and where did you get all of your knowledge on different types of tobaccos? Did you order a bunch of base tobaccos and just experimenting or have you worked...

    The chicken or the egg?

    For those of you who dedicate pipes to certain types of tobaccos, when you guys buy a new pipe, do you already know what you'll be smoking in it? Do you factor that into your purchases? My method is pretty straight forward, English pipes for English tobaccos (except for 2 Ashtons which I...

    This is a Royal Flush?

    I've been a big fan of Becker pipes for a long time now. I've never seen one of his rated a Royal Flush before. I have to admit, I'm really disappointed by this one. It just seems so carved up and fails to display the wood in a positive light. I can't help but think of how this looks more...

    Mario Grandi Pipes

    I see a number of people have these. I've never owned one but they sure are prolific on ebay and have some interesting shapes. For those that have them, how do you like them? How is the quality?
