    Lakeland vs Aromatic

    As far as I can gather, all Lakelands are aromatic but not all Aromatics are Lakelands. If this is crrect, what makes a Lakeland a Lakeland? Is it extracts from flowers?

    Fine Tune for Taste Gawith Rum Flake

    I just got Gawith Rum Flake from the recent drop. Its supposed to be rich, sweet, rum and maple. I stuffed it into a small Boswell poker pipe. All I tasted was cream and burley. I chopped and gravity fed into an older Pererson Wicklow from reborn pipes. Again, burley, nothing else. A...

    Older Tobacco is Better? Naaa.

    I've read many posts in the last half year and I'm left with the general thought, "older tobacco taste better". Common to see something that aged for many years is fabulous. Something that aged for a couple years is better than new. I don't have a cellar. I have an ever increasing rotation...

    Noob and Peterson Perfect Plug

    Finally got to playing with a plug. Read advice from this forum and went with Peterson Perfect Plug. Shaved some off and then broke it up with my fingers. Nothing awesome about the tin aroma. I usually love tin aroma on almost anything so this was a bit off putting. I let it dry out for...

    My Plug Cutter

    This is my plug cutter. Got it at a gun and knife show. Couple of older guys in Lower Alabama forge knives for fun and profit. Note the Wasp nest inside the handle. The gun is so you can estimate size (vice a coin). Plus its cool! Having said that I'm still a noob and have yet to purchase...

    Generally Speaking Pipe Smokers are Fun

    I find the people on this forum are great. I've been on many forums and there is always squabbling. Long ago I had a part time job at Walmart. I smoked cigarettes. The break room was sizeable with a walled off section for smokers. I'd have lunch and breaks in there while smoking. All the...

    Are Blend Listings Volume based

    Can't find this through research. If a tobacco blend states, "Barley, Red Virginia, toasted Cavandish and Perique" can we expect Barley to be largest by volume and decreased volume until you hit the Perique? In general thats how food is listed. I don't know if tobacco is regulated like this...

    Cavendish Blend Question

    Anybody Try a Petersen System Filtered?

    My next pipe will be a Petersen System. I must have one. I've been bitten. In reviewing from the many choices on their website I saw a system pipe with a filter. System pipes are supposed to have reduced draw to them with that P tip. Anybody ever try a system with a filter? Every now and...

    Cool Saying

    Heard this at a training today. In the USA we say "the squeaky wheel gets the oil". In other words keep flapping your jaws till you get what you want. In China they are more reclusive. Their equivalent saying is "The Quacking duck gets shot". Thought it was worth sharing.

    Is Classic Petersen a System pipe?

    I have a Savinelli 606, Boswell Poker, Boswell nose warmer, a cobb and a briar carving I'm working on. I will never have a ton of pipes. I want to expand the small collection with a sampling of different pipe styles and manufacturers. I was wanting to add a larger classic Petersen. I was...

    Beginner Ooops, Burnt Pipe

    I could kick myself in the butt. I'm quasi new to pipes. I got an awesome nose warmer for JB. I know you aren't supposed to use a torch. I turned the flame all the way down. I was sure I could point it to the center of the chamber and not cause an issue. Stupid, stupid, stupid. I'll...

    No online credit at Boswell Pipes and Tobacco

    Went to buy a pipe at Boswells today. http://boswellpipes.com/index.html Apparently as they are an online tobacco store the credit cards will no longer work with them. They are going back to checks for online purchases. A pipe is supposed to be smoked slow. I will have to extend that...

    Noob Needs Some Help

    Hi, I started on pipes in 89 with a few of my navy pals and loved it. I've been out of touch for 20 years. I went to the pipe shop in the mall. The guy said my old Savenelli was a good pipe. He sold me some pipe cleaner but said it didn't need anything and I was good to go as is. I cleaned...
