    Cigar Butts?

    I love my Cuban cigars but will never smoke the nub. I do have a few pipes dedicated to Cuban cigar tobacco. After cutting the cigar and before lighting it, I'll do a quick draw test. If it's plugged, which happens occasionally, I'll chop/mash it up and smoke it in a pipe. A friend of mine...

    (Review) 4 Noggins Bald Headed Teacher

    Nice review. BHT is certainly one of my favourite. The name has a certain appeal to me.

    Nightcap!

    Nightcap is definitely one of my favourties. I smoke a lot of Cuban cigars. Don't taste anything like Cuban cigars. Not that I wanted to taste like Cubans. Each hobby is separate and is enjoyable in and of itself.

    Ever Chew Your Pipe Tobacco?

    Nope never tried it and probably never will. Gives a whole new challenge to cleaning your pipes afterwards.

    Need a new site.

    Shipping is expensive through any vendor that you use. A recent increase and seems to affect everyone. Even cigar retailers. Sucks but better than paying full Cdn retail.

    A comment or two.

    Welcome. This is one of the better sites you find anywhere.

    Go to tobacco comapny?

    Dunhill, Esoterica, GLP, Maclelland and growing. Like pipe tobacco my taste changes so some week I like X brand better than others. IMO, it's difficult to get bad pipe tobacco these days.

    Scotty's Butternut Burley

    Taste change, tobacco changes, weather and mood changes. IMO, generally it's pretty hard to find bad pipe tobacco these days.

    Scotty's Butternut Burley

    I love it. When I got into pipe smoking a couple years ago it quickly became my favourite. Since then through various taste changes and preferences. It's still my favourite. I smoke 6-10 bowls/day for the last 2 years. There are few days in all this time when I did not light up BB.

    Tobacco In The Microwave

    I can't see microwaving improving the taste, it can only take away from it. It may affect certain blends more than others. Where I live the RH is always low and therefore is not a problem drying out tobacco. Why risk it?

    main differences between tin and bulk

    Bulk is generally cheaper so that's my preference. Sometimes the tobacco is only available in tins so the choice is pretty easy.

    I'm down to only 3 tins!!!

    If you want to live longer than 20 years, buy more tins.

    Any Other "Space Nuts" Out There?

    I'm a spacey nut who happen to have a huge interest in all things space.
