    Skippy's Blend of the Week

    Good to see you back on here. Going to get so PA and give it a try, as you say it has been around forever for a reason. Thanks!

    Peterson 160th Anniversary Released

    I, too, have bent to pressure and picked up a dark bent, as it will be nice for smokes on the veranda.

    Not Looking Likely That Seattle Pipe Club Will Be Back On The Market?

    I have tried the noodle press for $15 off Amazon and had great success with it. Much easier than the PVC version, but that works too. I have also tried the "wooden box" and vice/clamps method that makes nice square/rectangular cakes and plugs without investing too much. Just make sure you line...

    4 Meerchaum Coloring Progression

    I am running a similar experiment, but I might be about 20 years behind you with my smoking rate. Thanks for sharing!

    Too Cold to Smoke Outside (Messing Around with Tobacco)

    Now you have me looking at my recycling container. Very creative and looks great! Keep it up.

    How much do you cellar?

    I thought I had a handle on having a reasonable amount cellared away in the basement, but then I started blending my own, and it looks like I'm back where I started. Time to smoke more, I guess. ;) I am going to guess I have accumulated around 30-35 lbs of tobacco, and a portion has been sitting...

    A bowl full of Glenwood Gold (VaPer) in my Moonshine Cannonball pipe.

    LJ Peretti - 5 Burley Blends I Ordered

    I guess I have been following how they have their tobaccos listed with Burley, Cavendish, English, and hadn't made it down to the Flake blends. Ha ha. Cuban was the first one I bought the big can of, and have been a fan of most everything I have tried, but some better than others. I love that...

    I Remember When..........

    I remember pulling the tabs off beer cans to add to the chain you would make.

    Pipe Maker Evan Wiseman on Radio Show of November 11, 2025

    I echo a thanks for 13 years of pure enjoyment, education, and making sure my excess funds find a place with new pipe tobacco and pipe makers. Thanks for always bringing on great new guests and old ones every week!

    Mike Murphy on Radio Show of November 4, 2025

    Vegas was my first pipe show ever, and I had a blast, a bit of an overload figuring out the 14th floor and all the vendors on Saturday. Our group also enjoyed the dinner and getting to know those at our table, but we really needed that Sunday to do it right. Flights from our area of Colorado are...

    November is fast approaching anyone excited to try and nab thanksgiving day by L.J peretti?

    I got it on my calendar and will bite this year to give it a try. Sounds interesting at the least.

    Pipe Maker Garret Woo on Radio Show of October 28, 2025

    What a great interview and an interesting background that Garret has. Love his pipe styles and detail that he has with his squashed tomatoes and pokers. Don't see the blue, red, or green that he has on some of his designs, and I love the fun factor with class.

    To make leaf into ribbon

    I think you might be on to something with the paper shredder, as they aren't too far off an electric machine with rollers that cut. I use the same pasta machine as Supdog and it works great, so why not try a paper shredder? I think the biggest challenge will be finding the right humidity and...

    Skeet Stribling from The Story Teller's Pipe on Radio Show of Oct 21, 2025

    Got to meet Jeff over the weekend in Vegas and swapped a few kid stories and enjoyed looking over his pipes. Skeet is a hoot and his small shop is a real gem among the internet options. He has a great selection and an even better view of what it means to be a pipe smoker.
