Anniversary Kake Has Me Confused About Perique.
I agree with Perique that St. James Woods from McClelland has a more peppery taste. This blend is my favorite VaPer.- salewis

Four New Samuel Gawith Virginia Flakes
I to hope these new Sam Gawith blends come to the States. I have always thought that McClelland and Gawith use some of the best Virginias.- salewis

Peterson P-lip
I have six Peterson and three have a P-Lip. For me, the flavor is the same between the P-Lip and fish tail. P-Lips are fine and easy to smoke, however, while I like P-Lips the only issue for me is cleaning. It is difficult to get a regular pipe cleaner through a P-Lip since the whole is too...- salewis

Finally! Found a Pipe For Capstan Blue
I regularly smoke Hamborger Veermaster in my Virginia pipes. Recently, I bought a few tins of Capstan Blue Flake which is a good tobacco which I like, but Capstan Flake does not have the body and taste of my regular smoke. I have about half of my pipe dedicated to Virginias and half to latakia...- salewis

Bowl Shape or Briar, Which Has a Greater Effect On a Smoke?
There is no question in my mind that the quality of the briar has everything to do with the quality of the smoke. I have always thought that the size of the bowl, while somewhat important, has been blown out of proportion and I personally do not think that the size or shape of the bowl for each...- salewis

Congratulations on both your anniversary and for buying a Ferndown. I have two Ferndowns and a half bent bulldog and a half bent apple. I think for the money you cannot do better than a Ferndown. Enjoy! -
The Science of The Open Draw
Rick Newcome, in his first book 'In Search of Pipe Dreams' actually devotes an entire chapter to open draw. He offers a drawing and measurements for all the pipes he buys to open up the draw. Personally, I have only one pipe of my over 40 pipes that has a tight draw. This one pipe...- salewis

Funny How My Tastes Change.
Do not worry! The concept of pipe smoking is to try different blends and settle on a main tobacco blend while still trying others. Often I think that I have found my main smoke only to move my primary smoke to another blend. That is one of the things that is great about pipe smoking is the...- salewis

Squadron Leader vs Early Morning Pipe
Personally, I have smoked several tins of EMP and many tins of Squadron Leader and there is no comparison; Squadron Leader wins hands down. I do not think that you can beat the taste of the Virginias in a Gawith blend then added with flavorful Orientals topped off with a wee bit of Latakia to...- salewis

Virginia with training wheels?
If you want a simple Virginia with a lot of flavor and fairly mild try Dan Tobacco Hamborger Veermaster. This has been a fairly staple go-to smoke for some time. I would try this since it never very little if any casing and it is obtainable unlike many of the other Virginias from time to time.- salewis

What Celebrity Could Spike Pipe Sales?
Unfortunately, all of these names are wishful thinking although fun. If any of these well known and respected people ever took up smoking a pipe they would most likely lose fans. However, if these same celebrities were seen smoking cigarettes in the magazines (People, US or any other fan... -

Under-Rated Pipes
I second the mention of Randy Wiley as a wonderful smoker. A little pricy but a great smoker. Another pipe not mentioned because they also are a little pricy are the Claudio Cavicchi pipes. I have five of Claudio's pipes and every one is a beautiful smoker however you do not hear his name much.
