Thanks man! I'll get a few hydration packs and give it a try. Nothin' to lose!Lostdog5152 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 01, 2022 8:28 amI have rehydrated cigars with pretty good results.

That’s a new one to me. I’ve always heard it called a “case” quarter.

What would be the best Peterson pipe to use in a ‘slow smoking competition?’ (Serious question! Lol)
Never been to a slow smoke event before, this Saturday the London pipe club have the prestigious & priceless ‘Peterson Cup’ up for grabs. Thinking of driving down there & snatching the cup from under the city slickers noses!
As I’ve never ‘competed’ before, help & advice is imperative in order to win the cup.
Apparently, they give you 3g of tobacco & 5min to sort yourself out, load & light your pipe. Trying to envisage what 3g of tobacco looks like & what pipe would work best.
I’m thinking of using one of the following;
106 (large billiard).
309 ( tall, narrowish bowl).
20s (bent billiard/brandy).
11s ( slightly larger than the 20s).
What would be the ‘Pete to Beat’ so to speak?
Any other advice or tips, would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

Take the one that you know smokes the best. In a regular slow smoke contest I believe you're also given 2 matches to light with. 3g of tobacco is probably based on a chamber that's 3/4" wide x 1.5" deep. My brain isn't working in metric this morning so you'll have to do the conversion yourselfSheridan wrote: ↑Wed May 17, 2023 9:26 am What would be the best Peterson pipe to use in a ‘slow smoking competition?’ (Serious question!
