    Questions for Leonardw

    Nobody picks up any perique or a hint of rum topping in LNF? I've never seen either of those mentioned in a 507c review.

    Questions for Leonardw

    That's pretty much the only type of questions I have. I know he said a more finalized list of what's being cut should be coming soon. But the 507c=LNF question seems like the big question that can be answered now. Do both contain perique or neither? Or is it just the same VA leaf in both but LNF...

    A Look at STG Internal Documents Regarding the Mac Baren / Sutliff Buyout

    Honestly, despite the pounds of the stuff I have in my cellar, the sutliff leaf was never my favorite, but it was always good quality. Still, the loss of an American tobacco company like sutliff is disappointing. I assume the Mac Baren blends that STG continues producing will not be same since...

    McCranies locations

    The Lake Norman one is a nice little shop in a shopping center but in my opinion it's worth the drive to the original Park Road shop. It's the original standalone building and although the McClelland is gone and the pipe selection is smaller than it used to be, it's still got the McCranie's...

    RIP Dickey Betts

    One of the greatest ever in my opinion. If you can't tell from my username, I'm a bit of an Allman Brothers fanatic. From playing with Duane, to helping to lead the Allman brothers forward past Duane and then Berry's deaths, Dickey was part of the heart and soul of the band. Great singer and...

    This May be Heresy........

    I felt this way until I tried a p-lip on a straight pipe. Couldn't stand it in bent pipes but I barley noticed a difference between fishtail or p-lip on a straight pipe. Which is great for me since I love straight pipes anyways and it opens up a whole new selection of Pete's that I could buy haha.

    ***What Are You Smoking, February 2024?***

    How'd I know the late night posts would be you? I just finished a bowl of 2018 Dunbar in a Savinelli Punto Oro Dublin army mount. About to light up a home blend VA/Per/Oriental in a Peterson Ragaire bulldog.

    Sam Gawith Burnt Ends

    I picked some up already along with some Full VA Plug when the website decided to play nice. That last picture in this thread makes me think I made the right decision 🤤

    Dad Advice

    My son just turned 1 a few months ago and man everybody is right. Blink and you'll miss it. I think part of the reason parenting advice can be so varied is because, when they're little like this especially, what works today might not work tomorrow. You just have to roll with the punches and try...

    What Are Your Favorite Pipes To Collect?

    Lately it's been Peterson bulldogs for me. I still love a good classic billiard or Dublin or even panel straight pipe from any number of makers. But over the past few years bulldogs and especially Pete bulldogs have been my weakness. And they do all get smoked in the rotation.

    Rouxgaroux: A Rexminderx

    I grabbed a pound. Still got a little left from last year I'll probably smoke while waiting for this year's batch to arrive.

    Peterson 2023 Christmas Pipe

    Decided to grab a 150. Been on a Bulldog kick for a while, especially Pete Bulldogs. And I always love a good sandblast.

    Ringtones

    Love this, Stiff Little Fingers are so awesome. For my phone I never mess with the ringtone because I leave it on vibrate all the time. Although I used to set it to sections of songs I liked but I eventually found that it always ruined that song for me because I eventually couldn't listen to...

    Are You Country or City?

    When I was a young boy having been raised in the country I thought city life would be for me. It didn't take much maturing to see that I'm a country boy through and through. My wife and I are currently looking for more land in the area we currently live in.

    Don't have pictures of some others like my cheap banjo, my Republic resonator, or a few other cheaper acoustics. Putting together a new partscaster strat right now which is also not pictured.

    Pipe Smoker who Plays Keys

    Welcome from NC! I'm a guitar player who picked up a keyboard to play around with a few years back. Still not any good but I like messing around with it from time to time haha.

    Peterson Pipe of the Year 2023

    I've never minded the p-lip but after buying some straight p-lip pipes recently I've become more of a fan. Doesn't help in this instance since I won't be buying a bent pipe since I rarely smoke those but personally I noticed much less of a difference between a p-lip and a fishtail when the pipe...
