Pipe Smokers Unite!

[Flash]

Does anybody has an experience with Peterson`s Holiday Season 2012 tobacco? I have bought it everytime before christmas for last years and the tobacco was good. For this year Holiday the reviews are not so good.

 

[LocktownDog]

Haven't tried it yet, but am hearing the same reviews. Doesn't bother me much, however. I never went out of my way to get it anyway.

I want it also. For me it is like a tradition before christmas. I will post my impression here.

I usually smoke either Argosy Black or Field and Stream to keep it vintage but I also have some straight turkish that I get into once in a while. I have some straight Perique if anyone wants it.

Makes for an interesting evening. Go ahead and light 'er up. Just strap yourself into a chair first.

No thanks. I did that once and it was enough. I don't smoke a pipe or smoke cigars to get stoned.

So I tried the Petersons Holiday Season 2012. It is very very soft and very very sweet tobacco. But it has nice smell for the others.

I have been back on the briar for several years now. I smoke 2-4 pipes a day usually, and I cannot imagine my life without them. Mostly estate English in my collection of about 75 pipes, and I have found that I am most partial to pre-trans Barlings and English mixtures.

Hi guys, nice to see some other pipe smokers around!

I have been smoking pipes for about seven years after a 30 year layoff. I have some managed to accumulate about 60 pipes and the ones I like the most are either Petersons or the ones Boswell from Chambersburg PA makes.

Every once in a while one deserves a little treat. Turntable fired up, lights low, phone off. Two fingers of CC Sherry Cask neat and nice bowl something.

An exceptionally written article with eternal relevance and common sentiments. Even if your endearment for pipe smoking is not covered here, this will lead you back to it. Thanks to Miles Borocky.

Funny. I started with a pipe back in college. Straight stems, as time went on those with slight bends. Blends of nice Virginia burley.

I don't smoke often....when I do it's normally a cigar...but I often find myself in a dove hunting field with a pipe and a side by side.

Many a time people mentioned how nice it smells...

So I finally got my first meerschaum. I'm smoking it right now...my own blend I call "Geologist". It is indeed a smooth smoke.

I am breaking in a new nording from Iwan Ries, If your ever in Chicago the shop is amazing.

I second your opinion of Iwan Ries in Chicago. Don't be fooled by the shabby first-floor entrance...the smoking lounge there is not to be missed!

Iwan Ries' entrance is a tad shabby, but once upstairs the shop is all the more unique. Frog Morton is my choice brand.
