    Praise to Peretti

    Ive been mostly subsisting on Sutliff and Stokkebye bulk english blends but recently tried LJ Peretti after hearing their praises for so long. Well im joining the cult now. I've been smoking 5 different blends exclusively for the past 2 wks and my enjoyment of them continues to grow. Holy...

    Perikia? Latarique?

    I mean ferilz y'all... It's time someone tried it. How hard could it be? Perique processing of latakia processed leaf. Or latakia processing of perique processed leaf. Probably be terrible. Could be the next big thing. 🤣

    Converting Pete Derry to a System?

    I recently got a derry line peterson 05 "calabash" shape. It gurgles like nobody's business. Thankfully its a military shank so i can just remove the stem every 5min and blow out the juice; but then i end up obsessively fiddling with getting the full bent stem aligned straight again. I have...

    Tight tenons

    Ive got maybe 2 dozen pipes i use and no joke probably 3-4 of those came new from good brands with the tenons waaaaay too tight. Like i feel they're gonna snap off when removing the stems. Ive tried graphite Pencils and beeswax and still smoking and waiting on them to loosen up on their own but...

    Baraccini/Stanwell P&C lighters

    So I've got 2 of these Butane pipe lighters from P&C. I like them because of the fold out tools included. Easy to pocket. But damn are they finicky. The Stanwell usually works ok but every now and again will just stop lighting. The baraccini i just got and only fires up 1 out of every 50 clicks...

    The Witcher 3

    Just started playing this on PS5 and ive already run across some pipesmokers in my short travels. Even found myself a decent semi-churchwarden which Im NOT selling. No i just gotta figure out how to smoke it. 🤣

    2014 GLP Quiet Nights

    Just popped a tin of Quiet Nights I've had since September, 2014. It's just absolutely super. Probably the most creamy, eloquent, English I've had. Very similar mouthfeel to Penzance. It's still very smoky, but definitely seems softer and sweeter than I remember from previous tins, although...

    Pipe display wall clips?

    Anyone know where to get some of those clips that tobacconist displays often use to mount pipes on? Im currently making a little shelf for my excess of opened jars and would like to mount some of my pipes on the sides of it. Those clippy clips look awesome but im not sure where to get them. The...

    LJ Peretti's best blends (with lat)

    I just finally got my 2 oz each of their Tashkent and Oriental #40. They're delicious, and im going to order a pound of each I think. What other recommendations of their blends do y'all have? Particularly english/balkan/oriental. Definitely not aros. Any suggestions before I pull the trigger?

    Heaviest Latakia bulk blend?

    I mostly smoke light to medium bodied english/oriental blends. I'm trying to bulk up my cellar with pounds of everything i smoke though. And i do occasionally enjoy a heavy handed lat blend. Like quiet nights or gaslight for example. But tins are simply too expensive for me to justify stocking...

    Pete Aran 05 Calabash size?

    Looking at getting a peterson aran 05 calabash shape today perhaps while there's 20% off at p&c. Either that or one of their short series pipes. I really like the calabash shape but im not a fan of huge pipes. I have 2 303 system standards that are perfect but those are saddle bit and on the...

    Micro-scale Tobacco Processing

    Gosh guys... I've been doing some thinking. And some arithmetic. And some political predictions. And I think I'm screwed. There's no way I'll be able to cellar enough to get me through to ~100 before it gets too prohibitively taxed or outright banned. I'm only 34. I doubt we have 20yrs left...

    Jackknife Plug is Wild

    I have a tin of GLP Jackknife Plug from 2014 that has been opened for 2 yrs. Its my 2nd tin smoked since release. The first was painful. I smoked right after release and all the hubub. I hated it. Took me a couple years to finish the tin i think. Now my 2nd tin (2014) is halfway gone after...

    Let's See the Cases

    Based on the recent discussions (and reoccurring)... I'm not making any claims, but I have looked and do find the lack of evidence interesting. You can search the web and find plenty of cases of cigarette, dip, chew, and cigar users who have gotten cancers pertaining to repeated contact with a...

    Favorite Oriental Blends?

    I've been a fan of latakia forward blends for years, amd while im sure ive tried many oriental blends, i cant recall the flavors im currently getting from 2 common bulk blends. Im finally getting a "buttery" forward oriental flavor that ive always read about but never gotten.... And im in love...

    Drying Tobacco in 100% Humidity

    Any ideas? I've thought maybe trying a jar with some dessicant packs on a layer under the tobacco (so as not to make contact). It's rough in the tropics. Some leaf seems to actually get wetter, out of the tin/jar.

    Clench Drool

    Lady-like Gentlemen, turn back now. Am I an anatomical anomaly, or does anyone else have a hard time clenching for more than a minute or so without needing to remove your pipe and do something with the pool of drool that accumulates in your mouth, around the bit, threatening to leak out? I...

    International Shipping/Customs

    So I live in Costa Rica where I can't get snüs or pipe tobacco, and my current tobacco mules (my parents and brother) are about to move here full-time so I'll be outa luck. I know every country is unique, but does anyone have experience with ordering tobacco products internationally from the...

    1st lb purchased after 16yr test.

    Well, i started smoking a pipe 16yrs ago now. I've tried probably hundreds of tins. Purchased a few more of the ones i liked and cellared a bit away. However i finally found something cheap enough and tasty enough to feel like i could smoke it for months on end without hardly a desire to try...
