    Folklore 2025

    Good morning all’. Due to some unfortunate circumstances, I missed getting my order for this year’s release of Folklore. I’ve never been able to get my hands on this blend and have heard great things about it. If anyone has some and would be interested in selling, or trading, some of the 2025...

    Mac Baren Stockton 2024

    Well, just received my tin of Stockton and already on my 4th bowl. This stuff is amazing! I went to order more and it’s sold out. If anyone knows where I can get some it would be greatly appreciated! I’ve got many blends that I would sell or trade to get my hands on more of this tobacco as...

    Mixing Tobaccos

    Question… I’m a little over a year into smoking a pipe and it’s been interesting to say the least. By that I mean that I’ve read so much, tried different techniques, and purchased several pipes and a lot of different tobacco’s! Overall… a very good journey, in large part thanks to all of you...

    Smoking Flake tobacco tips

    So, I’m only a little over a year into pipes and have learned so much, but still a long way to go, which has prompted me to seek advice/tips. A few months ago I really started enjoying flakes and things went well (although I never really caught on to the fold and stuff method). I recently had...

    Best Smoke so far!

    Last night I had the unfortunate opportunity to smoke for the first time, since I started smoking a year ago, by myself. I usually smoke in the morning while drinking coffee with my wife, visiting with friends, or at night while sitting by the fire pit while my wife has a drink and we both just...

    Peterson Systems Bent Billiard Army Mount -Plip

    Moved from FS thread to General. 2-4-24. Sorry for not having the exact model number for my Peterson, but I’m wondering if anyone knows if I can change out for a fishtail stem and if so, where could I find one? Also, if it’s possible and available… any idea of cost? I really don’t like the...

    Unpleasant Surprise re Dark Fired Kentucky

    Title edited for caps and specificity. Please see Rule 9. Hope everyone is having a great New Year! So, I’m heading into this weekend with some new blends I’ve purchased over the last year and plan to try them (first time) for my first year anniversary of pipe smoking. It’s been a very...

    Best VaPer Straight From the Tin

    As some of you may have seen from my previous post…. I’m really starting to enjoy VA’s, Va/Pe’s, and some VA/Bur’s. However, I’m finding that none of them are quite working for me, although the ones that got me started liking them are those that I purchased, smoked (didn’t like), and stored in...

    Marlin Flake

    Ok… reaching out to all of you that have gotten me hooked on VA’s & VaPer’s (especially flakes and coin). I have read many mixed reviews on Marlin Flake and was just about to place an order until I started seeing several comments about it burning hot and tongue bite, which I seem susceptible...

    Changing Taste

    How many of you have had times when your taste, or likes change every couple of weeks or so? I’ve been piping for almost a year now and have learned so much from all of you! Like most folks I know, I started with aromatics due to reviews of how great they taste and smell, only to find.., not...

    Blending and shredding tobacco

    Hey everyone, I’m about to make my own blend using stoved Virginia and Perique. The Virginia I’m using is in fairly large pieces and I would like shred or somehow cut into smaller (not too small) pieces. Any suggestions?

    Pipes and Tobacco

    Good morning everyone! I have learned so much from many of you and I have finally found “my way” of piping! From the tobacco’s that I like, packing method, smoking cadence, best pipe(s) for different tobacco’s and much more! While there are definitely “do’s and “don’t’s” with pipe smoking… it...

    Black Frigate

    Question for those more experienced than myself, or really anyone, that has any recommendations… I’m finally beginning to get beyond overthinking every aspect of pipe smoking and starting to settle into my way (based heavily on things I’ve learned on this forum, along with finding my likes and...

    Neerup Pipe Question

    I recently purchased a Neerup Standard pipe (beautiful pipe and stem), however, I am having issues with the draw. It seems fine when empty, passes a cleaner just fine, but when smoking a bowl I can barely get any smoke (although it draws easy) and it’s hard to keep lit. I’ve tried different...

    Flake Tobacco (PS Navy Flake)

    I’ve read several threads, watched videos, and experienced two bowls of Navy Flake, which I enjoyed to the point of placing another order. I’ve smoked 4 more bowls in the last two days (two fold and stuffed, and two rubbed). They tasted pretty bland, one was too dry and smoked hot, the others...

    Lakeland Tobacco

    I know some of you have seen and commented on my previous post/questions about Nightcap, and no new found love of English blends and some VaPers. I’m currently satisfied with enjoying my current purchases in these two categories, as well as looking forward to exploring many more that several of...

    Need Pipe suggestions

    Still learning…. However, now that I’ve found my favorite tobacco blends (English and Perique blends), still trying different ones, but really enjoying the ones I’ve tried. Now I’m going to throw out a question about pipes and shapes. I’m noticing a difference in how my favorite tobacco’s...

    Question about Peterson Nightcap

    So, I’m still relatively new to pipe smoking and tried numerous aromatics, only to find that most of them didn’t live up to my expectations, or enjoyment/taste (really couldn’t taste much and a fair amount of tongue bite). Most of these issues were probably just me, however, my wife and I...

    What is a Cool, Mild, Medium-Sweet, everyday Smoke?

    Title edited for caps, and brevity. Question for the experienced, or really anyone that would like to chime in. I’m relatively new to pipe smoking (2nd attempt, first time around didn’t go so great). While I can’t say I’m doing everything right, I’ve read enough posts here and tried various...

    Help, Please for: Good, Inexpensive, Small Pipe

    Can anyone suggest/recommend a good, inexpensive pipe that’s good for those times when you want to enjoy a quick smoke. I suppose I could only fill one of my pipes halfway, but I’d rather not, maybe I just want another pipe for those times.
