    Peterson Sherlock Holmes Tobacco Available?

    Hello everyone, back here after some time. I wanted to ask if any if you know about the fate of Peterson's Sherlock Holmes tobacco. I live in Germany and since last year, I find it increasingly difficult to find it. Is it of the market and not sold anymore? Thanks a loit everyone!

    Fix for discoloured stem

    So, I ran a bit of alcohol through the stem to clean it, and a drop or two got on the outside of it and left a big discoloured stain on it. I believe that is oxidation, if I am not mistaken, and I wanted to know what is something to fix it, and bring back the shine on the stem? Thank you guys!

    Commuter/Outside Smoking

    Wanted just a quick tackle on how all of you commute or just simply take walk with your pipe. Since I've always been a "home smoker", and also I rely a lot on the means of transportation to go everywhere, I always had the thought of how do you light, if you put it in a bag or in the pocket...

    Long term storage

    Hello everyone, Recently I cut down on smoking, simply just because of no time available. I have 4 open tins of Petersons about halfway smoked and opened for over a year. They're stored in jars, but the jars weren't too quality, so the tobacco is dried. I was thinking about sealing the tobacco...

    Old Stanwell Repair/Restoration

    Cracks on both interior and exterior seem not to go through the other side. The midpiece must be horn and it doesn't stay on the pipe that's why i believe it was glued on. Also the pipe was passed on to me for free and I wanted to freshen it up

    Old Stanwell Repair/Restoration

    I got my hands today on an old Stanwell pipe. Engraving on the side says Stanwell Buffalo. I posted some pics as well. The midpiece of the stem comes off so I think it's got unglued. My question is if this pipe can be restored (there are some cracks inside and outside too) to be smoked for some...

    Tins or jars?

    Bought some tins last week and couldn't resist the temptation to open every one of them. Here I come to ask if it can be sealed again (obviously not factory-like sealing) or if it has to be transferred to a jar. Like do gou keep anything at all inside the tin?

    Give me Some Classic Tobacco!

    My friends here I am once again with a question of what to buy and try out. I bought a tin if early morning pipe and I'm planning to add three more tobacco. From what I've smoked I liked mac baren Scottish mixture and macbaren classic. I'm thinking of Sherlock Holmes, nightcap, my mixture...

    How does a clean pipe smell?

    I've been around here asking about cleaning routines etc. And I understand that since you're burning something inside something else, it will always gonna smell charred, smoky, burnt, or whatever else. Now what I want to know is how to make a pipe bowl not smell. Like is it possible to clean it...

    Calling All Hobbyists

    Started as a hobby still in for the hobby. For me nicotine isn't a thing. I like the taste of the smoke. So when I need something quick to taste, then I go for a cigarette or cigarillo. I never inhale the smoke though, so I don't know if this makes me a nicotine addict or not. There's also...

    I think this might not be the perfect place to post this thread, but I want it more of a buyer's advice. I'm thinking of buying some Peterson tobacco specifically Nightcap, Sherlock Holmes, Early Morning Pipe and My mixture 965. I want some insights on these and also, if you think I should skip...

    Airports - Traveling with pipes and tobacco (Europe)

    Don't know if it is the right thread but I have two questions. I plan on traveling from Greece to Germany some time this year. And my questions are if I am allowed to take my pipe and pipe tools with me and also if I can bring pipe tobacco with me. Probably there is some regulation to it, but...

    Blocked Pipe

    Hello fellers! My very first has started to clog. I decided to smoke a bowl and after a little while something clogged it. I had to leave it cool and poke it with the Czech tool through the shank to remove some debris and it felt softish kind of like wet wood. Anyone ever experienced the same...

    What Do You Smoke??

    This goes a little further. What do you smoke, and by that I mean what other means of smoking do you utilise? For me, I love pipes and cigars, but sometimes, just for this quick smoke taste I'd smoke a cigarette or cigarillo. Disclaimer: I thought of adding that, when I'm smoking cigarettes I...

    Pipe Smoking And ?

    Well, I'm self-conscious about someone knowing that I smoke (don't know why, maybe I'm a shy person), so that makes me enjoy smoking either inside or while sitting on the balcony. To be honest I just blackout... I scroll on my mobile, or I'm watching TV. It really makes me appreciate the thing...
