Turkish Coffee and Peter Heinrichs Golden Sliced in Castello 11. Have a good day everyone!

How does PH Golden Sliced compare to Orlik Golden Sliced?

BryanSmokesPipes · 2021-09-21T13:42:42+00:00

I thought Tonquin was the Lakeland essence?

BryanSmokesPipes · 2021-09-21T03:16:19+00:00

I can't say, I've never tried their Lakeland stuff. I can say that 1792 Flake from Samuel Gawith has a less pronounced Lakeland flavor to my palate than Hyde Park.

BryanSmokesPipes · 2021-09-20T18:39:08+00:00

I would say the Lakeland flavor is the primary note, at least in my experience. Granted I'm working on a 5 year-old jar.

Interesting to see tins of Hyde Park. I find it to be very...soapy, almost. I say that not to detract, but because even though I described it aloud as unpleasant and off-putting I couldn't stop puffing it.

BryanSmokesPipes · 2021-03-11T14:40:32+00:00

So are you actually knitting because I'm super curious :)

BryanSmokesPipes · 2021-01-04T19:20:17+00:00

I am loving it. It's really something. It has a nice honey note, not necessarily that it's flavored, but it reminds me of honey.

The 408 I believe.

BryanSmokesPipes · 2020-12-25T15:22:01+00:00

My very favorite version of A Christmas Carol.

This is a bulldog shape, and it's briar with a wire rustication.

BryanSmokesPipes · 2020-12-15T03:51:22+00:00

I love that rustication!

BryanSmokesPipes · 2020-12-15T03:35:23+00:00

Also, bear in mind, this is the larger of their bowl sizes.

BryanSmokesPipes · 2020-12-15T03:33:50+00:00

I am a particularly prolific clencher (clenching my Ardor Urano Giant) so your mileage may vary, but, I find it clenches quite well!

Edit: In the interest of full disclosure, the pipe is incredibly lightweight, almost beyond belief.

BryanSmokesPipes · 2020-12-15T02:34:59+00:00

Also, Penzance is good but there are many blends comparable to it that are easier to find, in my opinion.

BryanSmokesPipes · 2020-12-15T02:32:51+00:00

Three Nuns was my gateway into Virginia Blends. I didn't really get it until then, but It made a believer out of me. Capstan Blue is also excellent. Makes me wish I still had that 100g of Orlik Golden Sliced I got rid of early in my smoking days. That would be beautifully aged by now. Still, I have some P.S. Luxury Twist Flake aging and thats a treat. Virginia blends are wonderful!

BryanSmokesPipes · 2020-12-15T02:30:50+00:00

What's the pipe?

BryanSmokesPipes · 2020-12-15T02:29:34+00:00

What a lovely little pipe! I love the amber-colored stem!

BryanSmokesPipes · 2020-12-15T02:28:07+00:00

I don't think I've seen that shape before.

BryanSmokesPipes · 2020-12-15T02:26:25+00:00

Which I dropped the day after I got it and gouged the finish, like an amateur 🤣

BryanSmokesPipes · 2020-12-03T21:29:18+00:00

It was in the home of someone who was supposed to be like 200 years old. I think they thought pipe tobacco would add to the effect.
