    Haddo's Delight

    I'm drawn back into haddos after it's improved so much with some air time. This tin is 10 years old. I just love perique so much! Damn you all! I don't need another blend to cellar! :ROFLMAO:

    Bot For Our Blends!

    I'd like to put in my two cents, I hope @Mr. Pink that it is not received as disrespectful, as that is not my intention. I admire your ability to create such a program and the skill needed to do it. I think that things now are at a fair playing field in the world of purchasing tobacco as is...

    Orange is the New Blue?

    California has been on fire for a while now, so orange has been the new norm when either the sun or moon is near the horizon.

    Knife Material Guide

    Completely non-scientific, but I like to look up the percentages of the different elements in a particular steel and compare them to something I'm intimately familiar with. Same for scale and liner material, etc.

    WCC Rouxgaroux this Year?

    Funny you say that, I literally just smoked a bowl of the two together and thought there was very little difference from smoking either individually...

    Haddo's Delight

    I did not like it in the beginning. Scratch that, I hated it. Let it sit in the tin, the topping evaporated significantly, and it's a completely different blend. I prefer plummy and funky perique to to the horseradish spice perique found in Haddos, but after the aforementioned offgassing I...

    Underrated Factory Pipes / Brands

    Any of the major French pipe manufactures, hands down

    Dem Brickz

    D&R was not bought IIRC. Just a majority stake sold by Mark Ryan. Definitely could mean a change in product lineup though. But anyways, Rimboche is the shizzle. If it is going byebye, someone correct me and I'll add some poundage.

    Calling All St Bruno Lovers!

    Thank you, I will definitely email them later! A pound box of St. Bruno flakes is one of the few things that would make me open the wallet right now. puffy

    Is Pipe Tobacco Currently Threatened in USA?

    I enjoy these threads, if for no other reason, because they make me feel better about spending so much money on tobacco, jars, and mylar.

    Burley Based Blends Suggestion

    Right now... Burley forward - C&D Burley Flake #1 (gonna smoke another right now, damn stuff is growing on me) Burley/Aro -Is and probably always will be Watch City Deluxe Crumb Cut. Runner up - SWRA (especially with red VA added). Dark/Kentucky-ish blends? St. Bruno for sure.

    Purchasing A Meerschaum

    I'm a big fan of Altinay. I think you get more for your money. I've purchased a meer there before, and will probably do again soon.

    A Perique Story...

    It seems the decade perique and some of the other limited stuff was highly lauded. I'd like to get his ear at a future show and see what he'd think about doing some of that stuff again.

    A Perique Story...

    Yeah I've been theorizing why the Sutliff tastes how is does, but the truth is I don't know. Its been a month in a press lock bag and the stuff is still very moist - but I'm fairy confident it is Not a mold or bacterial thing as it's remained very consistent and isn't necessarily "off" smelling...

    A Perique Story...

    That's great to hear! It seems enough have had a positive experience that I definitely ought to source some stuff to make my own whole-leaf blend.

    A Perique Story...

    I made a Perique thread previously in the blending section, for those of you that gave advice and information - thank you for participating. Here is a verbose sharing of my experiences with some different periques. The Periques sourced were as follows (and are visible in the following photo...

    Good Va-Per Tobacco

    I thought it unhelpful to hear this before I gave it a shot, but trying different types of Virginias and perique varieties will get you further in finding out what you like. Or just trying out different VaPers and finding what you like best. Virigina and Perique tobacco varietals are too...
