    Ash Dumping Question

    Title edited for caps and brevity. Could you please add location? Things get a bit awkward for me when I get midway through a pipe smoking event. I usually dump the top ash, (usually re-light very rarely) and tamp as if it was a new fill. I find it's less willing to stay lit without focused...

    On a quest for the best Peach flavored aromatic. Currently, I've sampled the following in order of preference: Peterson Summertime 2010 Sutliff Private Stock Taste of Summer Sutliff Peaches & Creme Ole Shenandoah Fuzzy Schnapps Sutliff Peach Cobbler Boswell's Peaches & Cream Peterson...

    Sutliff Cabaret Rouge vs Moulin Rouge?!

    Ah, I figured it out. Seems there was some lawsuit and had to change the more rare, "Moulin" to "Cabaret" for legal reasons. I would suppose the Moulin variety to be more "desirable to collectors", of which I believe I'm the only one.

    Sutliff Cabaret Rouge vs Moulin Rouge?!

    While trying to find "Old Vienna" and "Honey & Chocolate" Sutliff Private Stock tins (the last two to find of my Sutliff Private Stock collection) I've been buying-up some extra tins because Sutliff Private Stock tins are usually half-full (or half-empty, depending on your perception) so I try...

    How Often Do You Smoke a Pipe?

    Once per day, sometimes every other day. Depends on my mood. Sometimes I skip a month. Sometimes every day for several months. Rarely 2 bowls per day, as for me, a bowl lasts about an hour unless it's an XL or House Pipe which is about 2 hours per bowl. A few of my pipes are 45 minutes in...

    Pipe Lighter - Leads and Recommendations

    Her expression at 0:22 won me over, and I never looked back. Old Boy is the best. That being said, it is a bit small-in-the-hand. Recently buying an IM Corona PipeMaster, however to accompany it.

    Best Peach?

    Looking for a Peach aromatic that doesn't fade. Sutliff's Peaches & Cream is probably the best everyday, or Taste of Summer Private Stock. I have some 2010 Peterson Summertime that's probably the best rarity, and I really like it, but it's almost gone now. Most of the others, including...

    Pipe Tobacco

    Yes! It's a lot like Sutliff's Irish Creme however there's a notable nutty/whiskey taste. Think a vanilla Christmas Cookie with the tip dunked in whiskey. Sutliff Private Stock is my favorite. Trying to collect all of them.

    Sutliff Private Stock Moroccan Spice

    You're right. I think Barbados Plantation is QAR and Molto Dolce is Creme Brulee, but there's something else about both in the Private Stock versions that's a little different. Not sure if it's Mandella Effect or the illusion I'm opening a tin instead of a baggie, but the Private Stock...

    Sutliff Private Stock: Dark & Silky review

    Always a fan of Sutliff's Private Stock line (though usually packaged like potato chips with 1/2 air), Dark & Silky does not disappoint. Cracking open the pop-top can wafts very wet, awkward cuts of what smells like dark-chocolate cake right from a suburbia-chain restaurant's...

    Sutliff Private Stock Moroccan Spice

    "Black Cavendish, Aged Virginias and White Burley are blended together in a unique fashion, topped with spices." - Sutliff I'm almost always a fan of Sutliff Private Stock deliveries, usually unique, high quality, and well-crafted; this is no exception. Cracking the can greets with chocolate...

    Let’s talk about Boswell’s Northwoods

    Northwoods has a smokey, campfire taste to it with some "Balkan" similarities. Finishes with what seems to me to be S'Mores, which is unusual but tasty. Rainy, Washington State mountain dankness. Recommended on a cold night, but not an all-day smoke. Very, very good.

    Flavored Tobaccos for a New Smoker?

    Woops, I meant to say Sutliff Queen Anne's Revenge, not Voodoo. Stupid Mandela Effect..

    Savinelli - Doblone d'Oro Review

    I heard this was a complex blend, so I gave it a try and bought a tin. Cracking it open it smells sweet like honey and orange juice in equal portions. Inside are curled medallions stuffed inside, hence the "Gold Doubloons" or "Gold Coins" of the name. These coins disintegrate by finger...

    Cornell & Diehl, Captain Earle's Ten Russians Review

    Having tried Pirate Kake, and being a new fan of Latakias, I ordered the "beast" of Captain Earle's Ten Russians. Many reviews have scared me of this blend and I broke off chunks cautiously as it reeked as a true Lat-bomb, ruining fingers, pungent and alluring, but then again, it's an acquired...

    Cornell & Diehl - Pirate Kake (Sea Scoundrels) Review

    I was excited at trying a true "Lat Bomb", that is, something so skunky with Latakia, that it would be disconcertingly bold. Everyone on forums around announced this would be the big bad daddy at 75% Lat, truly intense an experience. I hear there's an 80% out there.. 10 Russians I think...
