    Same Tobacco, but Not?

    So far I love their NightCap and Royal Yacht. The university flake is great as well. The first tin of Flake however just didn't seem like it was worth what I paid for it. Hopefully this next one changes my mind, it is already off to a better start. I hear 3P is similar to U.F. I am looking...

    Same Tobacco, but Not?

    I tried it 4 ways. Straight from tin folded, straight from tin rubbed out and dried flakes as well as rubbed out and dried. All dried for different amounts of time, some even all night and half the next day. None of it seemed to make any discernable difference. The only thing I noticed is that...

    Same Tobacco, but Not?

    Both same round tin yes. I gave the old empty away so I can't check the batch ☹️

    Same Tobacco, but Not?

    The citrus scent is definitely evident in the new Tin.

    Same Tobacco, but Not?

    I made two separate orders from the same place, one week apart. Each order contained a tin of Peterson Flake. The first tin was highly disappointing to me. It was very dark with strips of gold unlike the golden flakes in the photo. It had very little smell in the tin and the smoke just seemed...

    Royal Yacht: a new Guy's Initial Take.

    Exactly one week into my pipe smoking. I smoked an entire tin of Flake, and half a tin of NightCap when my new shipment arrived. So this review is half a tin into Royal Yacht and you know my full blend experience. "Royal Yacht" had me expecting some pompous blend for tanning on my...

    If You Can’t Taste the Nuances…

    You and I had the exact same baseball experience as children apparently....I quite enjoyed the taste of the my gloves laces actually.

    Hello from TN

    The tobacco is going to be the hard one for me. I want so badly to be that old grandpa guy that "had his tobacco" and "that's what he smoked" but with so many wonderful brands, and blends etc it's going to be impossible. As far as I can tell nightcap and flake are about as far apart from one...

    Beginner Perspective of Peterson's Nightcap

    I just started smoking a pipe and the first thing I put in that pipe was nightcap. I had the same reaction you did when I popped the tin. I knew I would love it and it didn't disappoint it was everything it smelled like and so much more. And every day I find new flavors in it. I was just...

    Royal Yacht - A Newbie Review

    Just started smoking a pipe about 4 days ago. Ordered a tin of Royal Yacht today. I wanted to try an Aromatic but I'm not a fan of cremes, vanillas, Cherry, birthday cake, chocolate, liquorice etc etc. Thank you for the review, it was well done and I'm glad I made the purchase I did. I was...

    Drool?

    I took some time out in the yard today clenching the pipe. I was able to mitigate the drool some like you said...lip position, pipe position etc. I found when I got comfortable and forgot the pipe was in my mouth was the only time I started it up again. I did this lit and unlit almost all day...

    Hello from TN

    I am finding it very difficult not to spend too much money. So many options, one could go nuts. I did go online and order a cheap 5 dollar backup/swill pipe and some more tobacky. I decided to stick to the Peterson line for a while so that the things I try are all within the same brand...it...

    Hello from TN

    I did let some air in with it and That's when I noticed i was getting a bit taste out of it a little so that must be the secret. The little flavor I did get was incredibly enjoyable so I am certain this is a problem with me ?? I'm going to keep plugging away at it because I know this stuff is...

    Hello from TN

    How are you finding it? So far I smoke it cause I have it and I want to love it. All of the reviews talked about hay and barnyards and cut grass and citrus and I just taste air. I dried some out and packed it super loose and smoked it super slowly and I did start to taste little hints of flavor...

    Hello from IL

    Welcome from middle TN. I am smoky nightcap at the moment. I've only just opened my first tin of it and I can't put it down.

    Drool?

    Glad I saved the filter when I took it out ??

    Drool?

    This is a huge possibility. I've tried to be very cognizant of the my heat and haven't felt the bowl get too hot to touch but it has definitely gotten hotter than I'd like. I'll take extra care To keep it cool and see if that helps some. Thank you.

    Drool?

    So, day one. And I'm sure this is a problem I'll resolve. The easy answer I would guess is "swallow your spit" However, it doesn't seem that easy. My mouth doesn't seem to Auto swallow like normal, I have to make myself do it and it's getting in the way of my relaxing ? Unless I constantly take...
