Subject line says it all. What made me think of that is the can of Plum Pudding I just crumbled up by hand. Seems like a few pulses in a small food processor would make quick work of it. Is that a barbarian thing to do?

My long-awaited package from Tobaccopipes.com showed up today. I had ordered a new Peterson 301, a couple of leather pipe stands, a can of butane, and 4oz. bulk of Autumn Evening, because all I have are Englishes, and once in a while I like an aromatic. Oops, they forgot to put the tobacco in...

I decided to go to The Hill Cigars last night and pick up a couple of ounces of some bulk aromatic. I'm more sold out to the English side right now, but once in a while, you want something lighter (and maybe to distract my son away from my good stuff, lol.) So I ended up getting two ounces of...

On Sunday I placed an order for two in-stock tobaccos from the P&C website. The status is still "processing". Did they all call in sick over there. I'm not being impatient, I just want my tobacco!

Well, not entirely out. All I have left now is a jar of random stuff I combined from purchases I was not happy with, to make one mixture of tobacco I am also not happy with. Actually, I do get good smokes out of that jar, but it's not dependable. I've got 4oz of Sutliff Heavy English and a...

Can someone please summarize the difference between the Rhodesian and bulldog shapes? To my untrained eye, they seem the same.

Is there one pipe tobacco that is more skeeter repellent than any other?

About a year ago, I picked up one of those zippered, rectangular bank deposit bags to use as a pipe and accessory case. It was only five bucks and quite roomy. The wife and I were at Goodwill today, and I spotted this zippered leather case with a logo on it, "1915 Thompson & Co. Inc." Didn't...

Just thought I would share some things I am thinking, in the vein of what I would have liked to tell myself when I started: Don't pack the bowl too tight. I pretty much use the Frank Method - gravity feed the bowl to the top, giving the bottom of the bowl a couple of hard slaps into your...

Just about the end of the month and the budget is doing well. Just ordered a bunch of pipe cleaners, and a "Peterson Standard System Sandblast 303 Tobacco Pipe PLIP" just fell in the cart. Honest :sneaky:

If you are looking at Peterson pipes for sale, and the listing describes the pipe as "standard", is that synonymous with "system?"

Recently I got my first Peterson pipe; a Standard System Heritage 306. I discovered three things from this purchase: 1) The thing smokes wonderful! 2) I don't like the P-Lip 3) I don't care for full bent pipes Not giving it up, as, like I said, it smokes great. The thing I need help with is...

Some Musings about my Tobacco Purchases In the year and a half since I started smoking a pipe (12/22), I have tried a lot of tobaccos. My tastes have changed drastically, multiple times, and I once had a horde of mason jars that rivaled my wife's canning on the basement. Started with the...

There's a British detective show called Endeavour. Endeavour Morse is a DC in the Oxford Police; the show is a prequel series to Inspector Morse Mysteries, and covers Morse's earlier career as a young detective. His boss is DI Fred Thursday, a character that smokes a pipe. What struck me is...

Got an email from Pipes and Cigars, stating that they're having a Birthday Sale for "Stewie." 19% off the entire site, because "Stewie" is 19 years old. 1) Who the heck is Stewie? Why no picture 2) I'm happy for them, but 19 isn't old enough to smoke a pipe 3) This all makes more sense if...

Does anyone know of a blend that tastes reasonably like Presbyterian Mixture, only available in larger quantities and cheaper? Thanks!

Does anyone have any experience and/or opinions on the Gatlin Burlier's house pipes?

I have this Kaywoodie 196 "Prince" that I have simply had no success in smoking well. The stinger is cut off, so you can get a pipe cleaner up the stinger end, but the lip is too narrow to get one in that way. The finish is dull, the name and "196" are barely visible. If you like to restore...

I was perusing the Tobacco Pipes website, looking at what tobaccos they had. Ran across the Accountant's Mixture, and since my wife is a CPA, I sent her a screen shot of the can. She messages me back as you see in the attached pic. Well, yes, Ma'am! Never been told to buy tobacco before, so...

You might remember my post about my wife messaging me from the thrift store about a pipe she saw, then went back for (Dunhill Red Bark). Well, this acquisition is related, in that there was another pipe she bought and did not tell me about. This Barling, after researching, seems to be a...
