Hot ziggity! Nice little lot Rich. I'm getting into their tobacco now - esp like the Royal and Tashkent. Haven't broken open the Thanksgiving Day, but it smells pretty good!

Did Peretti ever reply regarding the paint tin air permeability?

They did not Neil, which is a little frustrating. It was a very simple email request too.

For myself, I'm not really worried about it. On the two paint tins I have, I know once I open one of them, I'll work from the tin for a bit, and then transfer over Kerr or Mason jars until conclusion.

Was running low on some stuff:

Only had 1000grams of this cellared, and about 250g left of the open one, so I picked up another 500gram box.


Opened up the first pint of my last pound and half of Peter Stokkebye Luxury Twist Flake, so ordered another 1/5 pound package.


In looking around, I realized I only had 1 quart jar with this in it, so I ordered another 8oz of Gawith & Hoggarth Bright CR Flake. (Yes, I do not smoke as much of this as the 2 previous.


Getting other images was easier than taking pics.

Also got 4 oz of Gawith & Hoggarth's new Cherry Cream flake to test drive. First bowl was favorable, nice Virginias and the cherry/cream was nothing like the cloying stuff normally associated with cherry blends.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Interesting pulls on the Peretti tobaccos. Interesting because I do not know that I have ever tried any of their blends in the last 30+ years.

(time lapse to do some investigating...)

Ahh, I see now why. MacBaren blends bite me like a rabid dog, not sure why, but there is not a blend of their I tried that did not. And as I looked at Tobacco Reviews, I saw a few there that would be up my alley, but there were a couple that said they have to be treated with kid gloves of they'll bite. I now remember visiting the shop in Boston while I lived in Connecticut. I think I was warned, so I just avoided - or I may have sampled one while there, and decided to avoid further attempts.

Avery 2" round labels, colour printer
The Avery website has templates and you pretty much drag and drop

Likely a copyright issue - but I'm a bit OCDC and like my stuff neat.....
Don't think the Lane people will be snooping around my cellar anytime soon....

Tod - the English blends I've had from them are tasty and have been benign on the bite front. Don't know about the aros, other than Thanksgiving, which I was cautious with, but seemed fine.

Actually, even if Lane did see your labels, I am not sure they'd object. After all, you put them on their proprietary blend of tobacco, you are not using it to defraud, and if ever you pass it along, you are promoting them. Sounds like a win for them.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

It has been at least 17 years since I visited the shop, probably more, so I do not remember what blends I tried.

But there is another caveat, I have come a long way in my pipe smoking and so I have my general go-to blends, not really ranging much outside that.

This does not mean that I do not like to try new stuff, but I do not actively look for new things to try, that zeal has sort of left me (at least for right now). And even when I do try new things, I confine that to the "genres"/types of blends that I prefer, avoiding those things of which I am not a fan.

I avoid Burley blends, they NEVER did much for me. While I might try one, it takes serious twisting on the part of someone to get me to do so - usually involving a firearm and the side of my head.

Orientals also never really tripped my trigger much. I can tolerate a little in a blend that is predominantly something else, but...

I do have a couple of aromatics hanging around, but they usually only get dragged out when I want to please those around me. As I have gotten curmudgeonly, that happens less frequently. And, for me to have one, the top note has got to be done with a delicate hand, and I prefer to have it done to good Virginias to begin.

Lastly, there are what people have come to refer to as English blends, that is, blends with some measure of Latakia in them. I used to love these. I have a few around, but I rarely dip into them anymore, and they do not have the same appeal.

I love straight Virginia blends and VaPers (Virginia/Perique), they are almost solely what I smoke. I have tried literally, hundreds of such, and my cellar contains those which have pleased me the most. I like trying them, but then I end up comparing them to what I do have.

I smoke a pipe once or twice a week, if even that during some seasons. For this reason, 50g or 100g lasts quite a while. Having 4 or 5 things open is a lot wiser than 10-20 (yes, I did that for a long time, sometimes even more) if your consumption rate is like mine.

Wow, did this ramble on.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Went over to my local B&M this afternoon in Stevenson Ranch, and gave him a little support. A tin of Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture and a new Czech tool...

A number of the older reviews I've read were regarding the now defunct Murray's blend. The one I purchased is the newer blend from STG. So that will be my benchmark. Maybe Pipestuds web page will offer an old tin of the Murry's blend one of these fine days (as long as the price of the tin isn't too unreasonable that is).

I'll probably pop the lid fairly soon...
