A fine selection of new and estate pipes at smokingpipes.com

Speaking of things burley, did you ever notice how nicely a good Codger Burley paired with a huge hot cup of coffee. As I type I'm enjoying some Sir Walter Raleigh in a bent Molina with (of course a huge cup of coffee)

About to enjoy some delicious "Bob's Chocolate Flake" in my new Vauen pipe.

Peterson's are great pipes 1OldGI. You will enjoy it. Congrats!

Did you get a P-Lip or Fishtail stem?

Fishtail. I think for my next trick I may pick up a system pipe with the P-Lip but I'm a little leery of the P-Lip. Seems like a love it or hate it proposition and for the kind of money involved I'm not sure I'm very keen to risk being part of the hate it crowd.

Smoking cloves is banned here? really?

Today was Balkan Delight again, this time in the Philth Avenue. I'm really liking this tobacco a lot, it has a very unique flavor.

I bought my first Peterson back in March, and now I am the proud owner of three of them. I typically don't buy into the hype when it comes to buying name brand items-- but, in Peterson's case, every bit of praise is deserved. Hopefully you'll enjoy yours as much as I have mine, she's a beauty.

All flavored cigarettes (except menthol) since 2009 are banned. Manufacturers switched to a tobacco based wrapper, reduced the stick count, upped the price and voila little clove "cigars" which are legal.
