I've been reading the aging faq and have one question.

Will a light aro like TF Heritage age well ?

As I'll be receiving a 16oz tin of Heritage and a 8oz tin of C&D Red Carpet next week I'm planning to cellar at least 2 oz of each. I know that Red Carpet will age very well but I have some doubts about Heritage.

Hello my friends,
I've just updated my site www.pipemoretti.com with 8 new pipes:
from n. 95 to n. 102
I'd like to know your opinions and suggestions.
Happy pipe smoking,
Marco

Hi guys,

Just a quick squeak from me to let you know that I'm still around. The past months I have been involved in some rather large projects. The work will continue until the end of the year, so I have to steal moments here and there to get on MPC and see that everybody is alive and well.

Morning MPC. My, did I ever oversleep! I put it down to Mrs. M working a 2h00 night though - poor girl. Well, it's still pouring with rain & cold enough to run the heaters. If global warming is about changes in the weather patterns, I guess we've got it. I understand that we've even had some snow on the mountains. And since I'm heading off to those mountains next week, I have a more-than-passing interest in the state of play there. Right now I have coffee to contemplate & SG FVF in a GBD to lend a contemplative frame of mind. Enjoy some fine smokes today.

As a new smoker of pipes (as opposed to a pipesmoker), is it not interesting how quickly things change? As a stupid newbie I (as we all were at one stage) I started off smoking OTC aromatics. Things changed quickly and my preferences now lie with Balkans, English and Latakia-heavy blends. However, last weekend was a very hot and dry few days down my way and my usual blends were just too much for me. I scratched through my cellar ( a single drawer in the kitchen cupboard ) and pulled out all half packages and tins of my old aromatics. What a surprise!

Hi there

I recently purchased a Peterson pipe tamper.

It's really pretty, and completely unlike my run-of -the-mill pipe tool that I usually use.

I do have one question, when using a tamper, should one clean the base of it, so as to avoid a carbon build-up, or does it not really matter?

I love the look of my new tamper, and would like to keep it clean, but it irritates me that i think i might have to go dusting it and such after every smoke.

Thanks in advance, and happy smoking!

Justin

I didn't knew that GL Pease had a hand in pipe design... It is nice, for our nosewarmer fans.
The story of this pipes can be found in his blog - http://glpease.com/BriarAndLeaf/?p=58

This pic is from the www.neatpipes.com store.

I'd say that he's a much better pipe designer than the pipe makers are blenders. After trying one Stanwell mixture I'll never again try a blend from a pipe maker.

From time to time I like to write short stories. I've had a few of them published over the years, most of which are fantasy fiction. This story is something that I've been working on for no other reason then I liked the idea. I dreamed this up a few months ago and have been putting bits and pieces of it together for a while now. This isn't a finished product so please keep that in mind while reading it. I just thought I would share it with all of you. Anything you might see that needs corrected please let me know. You can only proof read something so many times...
