    Peretti component tobaccos?

    Hello all. I am wondering if anyone here would know if the (NEW post McClelland) Peretti blends use C&D component tobaccos. I have been smoking my way through their catalog and it seems like some of their Lat blends (Omega, Royal, Oriental #40) have some similarities to some of my favorite GL...

    Wide bowls for flavor...

    Hey all, so I've seen in numerous places that some smokers recommend a wider bowl for certain blends to get more of the flavor in more complex blends. I reserved judgement on this philosophy until I tried it myself, and have to say that in my new Sav 320 (which has a wider bowl than anything...

    Question for Billy Budd fans

    Hey everyone, so after hearing about this blend, I finally tried some for the first time today. I've been trying different cigar leaf blends and this one has been on the list for a while. So my question for those who have tried it is does aging do anything for it to smooth it out? The stuff I...

    Muttonchop's Blend Club

    For all the newer pipe smokers, I saw this today and wanted to pass it along. Muttonchoppiper is a great video resource for new pipe smokers. He has a great 101 series on how to smoke a pipe, but he also does something called Blend Club where everyone tries out a blend a month and discusses it...

    SAV 320-321 owners - input requested

    Hey everyone... So I have been drooling over the Savinelli author shaped pipes for months. With my birthday coming up soon, it's finally time. I'm going to pull the trigger. I guess the input I'm looking for is what the difference is between the 320 and the 321. I'm not thinking of buying this...

    Question for Aromatic Lovers

    Hey all. In my stubborn refusal to hate any type of pipe tobacco, I have been trying well recommended aromatic blends. I have found a couple blends that I at least liked, and one that I love (Thanksgiving Day- thanks Ashdigger). So mission accomplished, and I still have several other blends...

    11:11 11/11/18 The Centennial

    Didn't see a post on this but here in the US it's Veterans Day. But worldwide it is the 100 year anniversary of the armistice that ended WW1 at the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918. Never forget.

    Meat Pie (Or why am I late to the party?)

    Latakia, Oriental/Turkish, Virginia. Seems simple enough. I got a sample of Drew Estate's Meat Pie a little bit ago and have been really enjoying it. There's an interesting mild sour-ish kind of flavor which I assume is the orientals, and which I lack the adjectives to better describe. All I can...

    Drucquer & Sons - Blairgowrie

    Hey everyone, so I just tried a sample of Drucquer & Sons Blairgowrie and was absolutely blown away. I looked for it online and only see it available at SP and it's out of stock there. Does anyone have any experience with this blender/blend? Does this stuff come up on occasion, or did I just...

    Where is all the Maltese Falcon?

    Hey all, I've been looking for Maltese Falcon in the 8oz cans for months. All of the major online stores have been out. There was a brief period a month or two back where a limited amount of 2oz tins made an appearance, but that ended within a few days. Has anyone heard anything as to why this...

    Aro blend that actually tastes great

    Hello all, I'm wondering if anyone could recommend me an aromatic. NOT LANE TYVM! I've been smoking pipes for about a year. When I first started I tried 1Q, RLP6, BCA, Captain Black, etc. Then i tried English blends and was off to the races. I haven't smoked aromatic blends since. Over the last...

    What do YOU do with 8oz tins?

    Hey all. Just curious to see what other people are doing with 8oz tins of tobacco. Not with the empty tins, but with the stuff inside. Jar or or leave it sealed? I've been popping my SPC and GLP tins and loading them up in mason jars. I figure this way I don't have to open the entire 8oz when I...

    Cigar Leaf Blends

    Hey all. So I just tried Habana Daydream. It was the first time I've ever had a cigar leaf blend. I really enjoyed it. When I switched to pipes from cigars I found that I liked the versatility of all the tobacco blend types better than cigars, but this was a nice return to where I came from. I...

    I Guess I'm a Real Piper Now

    So my first decent pipe is a Stanwell 03 Billiard. Maybe it's sentimentality because it's my first, but I really enjoy smoking this pipe. I've managed to PAD my way into several others since I switched to pipes from Cigars almost a year ago, but this one still gets a lot of love. So today I was...

    Vaper for Summer, English for Winter?

    Hey all, I've heard several folks mentioning that they don't smoke English blends in the summer but switch to VaPers or Va blends for the hot months. Is that really a thing with most people? How many of you do that? And if so why?

    Nording Sailor

    Hey all. I'm wondering if anyone has a Nording Sailor. It looks pretty cool in a radiator pipe kind of way, but reviews are VERY hard to find. https://www.pipesandcigars.com/p/nording-sailor-pipes/2005800/

    Hello

    Hello, I just joined today. Seen this site several times while searching out various pipe related questions and finally decided to join after lurking. I smoked cigars for several years until tiring of humidors and wanting something of a shorter smoke in the winter. I got my first pipe last...
