    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2025?***

    It took me all this time to realize when you said "Americo", you meant coffee style, not the vermouth and Campari cocktail! Shows you where my tastes run . . . . .

    Which no longer produced tobacco blend do you or will you miss the most?

    I came to the pipe too late for anything from McClelland, and almost everything from Mac Baren. Like others have said, there are any number of blends that used to be legendary but have fallen from their Olympian heights. But of the ones I have tried, I wish I'd bought WCC Simply Orange when it...

    🌟 🎄 🎅 The UnOfficial Official 2025 PM Secret Santa Thread 🎅 🎄 🌟

    An unexpected package came from LJ Peretti today, I wasn't totally sure that it was the SS or an order I'd forgotten or they'd sent by accident. Only way to find out is to open it! Inside: A sample of this year's Yuletide, which I really wanted to try but missed the midnight drop, and a...

    Your PMSS box, or a virgin? If the latter, make sure to drill some air holes!

    🌟 🎄 🎅 The UnOfficial Official 2025 PM Secret Santa Thread 🎅 🎄 🌟

    BTW, I didn't have enough room left in my PMSS box to include my stash of Captain Bob's, so I just sprinkled it all over everything for extra packing. Waste not, want not!

    Popular Blends That Hit Your Blind Spot?

    I think for me it's the perique ratio -- not enough in HB, so I'm left with a fairly bland VaBur, but nicely balanced in OJK, though neither is my top blend.

    Popular Blends That Hit Your Blind Spot?

    Count me in on the group that doesn't get much from Haunted Bookshop and Pegasus. I've got HB cake aging and will try again. Ditto on a lot of popular aro's, although crossover English blends are a totally different category for me that I enjoy a lot. But why the hate on Marlin Flake? Ok...

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2025?***

    I was thinking of getting a Tsuge bamboo in the recent SP sale, how does it smoke?

    Package shipped, hope it arrives on time. And the monkey's off my back, I'm free! No bottom lister status for me!! Also, it's Repeal Day, so, for those who imbibe, happy smokes and sips!

    Is Wilke Having Trouble?

    Truth.

    Churchwarden recommendations?

    Pipes and Cigars (ducks the storm of rotten fruit and insults thrown at me) is selling Stanwell Hans Christian Anderson churchwardens at a discount, and they come with a short stem, so you're kinda getting two pipes in one. I've only smoked mine twice, but it's a good, comfortable smoker so far.

    Your Favorite Pipes?

    Been at this a year, and I'm trying to slow/stop the collecting at about two dozen ( :ROFLMAO: ). My favorites fall into a couple categories. My go-to faves tend to be smaller pipes because I smoke outdoors only can't easily fit long sessions into my schedule, so: a Brulor Junior Rhodesian...

    Is Wilke Having Trouble?

    I had a similar experience with my first order, finally got John on the phone, and he explained that it was becoming very difficult to source quality leaf to make his blends. I'm happy to wait, I just hope the supply situation improves, and that he's doing well otherwise!

    My 5 Year PipesMagazine Anniversary

    Hmmm, seems like you need to get a 5 year anniversary pipe? Not that I'm enabling or anything, we don't do that around here . . . . .

    What Were Your Go-To Tobacco’s in 2025?

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    My first pipe was a Donegal Rocky 68, still feels great in the hand and does a good job. Thanks for the link!

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

    There better be babka, or I'm not getting in the van.
