    Looks good. For a few years that 1-Q was all I smoked. Let us know about that White Knight, I've been curious about it.

    So, when it comes to money...the score is pipes 1, cigars 0.

    Smoke all week for the price of a good cigar. My usual routine is pipe with coffee, after lunch, cigar after supper. I'm sure Uncle Sugar will catch on soon and demand his usual 1000% cut.

    I picked up a few of these as well, I have a question on the packaging, these are not sealed tins, the tobacco is in a cello bag in the tin so I'm guessing that it needs to be jarred? Has anyone tried storing 'as is'?

    You do want to store in my oponion. I had a Peterson's 2009 Christmas I never did store and just smoked out of the tin. The looks of all tins are deceiving. Much more tobacco in there then you think. Eventually the tobacco dried and at first it actually made it easier to smoke but in the long run it lost the flavoring and became bland and burned hot. 

    I am no expert but I am jarring these and that seems to help. I have several holiday aromatics like these jarred for a couple years and they are holding up just fine. 

    That Peterson's tin was magical. No matter how much I smoked it seemed to multiply. I really enjoys these types so I do not want to have to throw any out ever again.

    Burned 2 bowls of Esoterica Woodbridge last night, looks like this is going to be a very solid smoker.

    Wife picked up a estate Medico Seafoam straight Apple. Looks to have been a handymans pipe, as it had some paint I cleaned off with vodka.

    I am amazed how these old workhorses clean up!

    Also seems to be a meer lined setup. Excited to see how it smokes!

    Nate here is the Medico. It was in rough shape and looks a lot better now. Unsure if I can clean up the mouthpiece any further than this (any tips appreciated!).

    Have you tried oxyclean? Works well and doesn't leave a taste, as long as you rinse it well. Or maybe a super fine sanding.

    I smoked the Medico again last night, so need to clean it today. Any recommendations on how long to leave in the oxyclean? ~:10?

    Thanks!
