Can Tobacco Change For The Worse?
Okay, this might sound like a daft question but is it possible for casing/topping to go off? The reason I ask is back in March I bought some SG Kendal Cream flake which I promptly jarred. I thought it tasted lovely back then. Today I wanted something different to smoke so I rubbed some out and...- steelarts

Peterson Emerald Question
I currently have a Peterson Emerald 221 which I love. It’s the perfect design, weight and balance for me and I love how it smokes. The only problem is sometimes it’s a bit on the small side. It’s great if I only have half a hour to spare but on the days I have more time I just wish it was...- steelarts

Folding And Stuffing Flakes
I just had a bloody awful smoke of 1792 Flake. Usually I rub it out and let it dry for about 15-30 minutes but yesterday I read something about folding and stuffing for a different flake experience. I didn’t dry the flake and just folded and packed the pipe. I just could not keep it alight...- steelarts

Really Hot Smoke
I recently got a small barrel Peterson “specialty“ pipe for shorter smokes. Today I decided to smoke some Peterson De Luxe Navy Rolls in it.

I really love this pipe and it’s tiny, and far smaller than I imagined but on my test run with it loaded...- steelarts

In Love With My New Peterson
I just got my first Peterson and I absolutely love it. It took me weeks of deliberation and research to finally decide on a new pipe and it hade to have certain specificactions. It had to be lightweight and not overly large and it had to have a filter. The P-lip I found intriguing so I decided... -
Pear Wood Church Warden
I’m just sitting in the garden enjoying the sunshine and a pipe. Today it’s my church warden because it’s quite small and I don’t have a lot of time. Unfortunately I damaged the rim some years ago using a jet flame lighter, grrr. It’s a really lovely cool smoke but one thing has always worried...- steelarts

Smoking to the Bottom of the Bowl.
This is something I’ve always had difficulty with. I now pack my pipe as instructed with the 3 layer method and I’m now using the “breath” method to smoke (which I find greatly reduces tongue bite and the number of relights) but I’ve never been able to smoke the baccy at the bottom of the pipe...- steelarts
