    FDA Induced TAD

    I have not been ordering tins as of yet. I have however been blending my own blends for the cellar. I have 3 blends complete so far with more that I am researching tobacco for.

    Do certain pipes really have more or less bite?

    briceg, tongue bite is caused by several factors, many that are not discussed. Technique is a good starting place, other factors are better explained here: http://binsbergenpipes.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4&Itemid=6 . I hope this helps a little.

    Springtime in Sarasota...

    I was on St. Armands Circle this past Saturday. Went to Bennington's and chuckled at the $43 tin of Escudo. Snow birds are gone for the most part, thank goodness we can get back to life as usual around here :).

    Big Pipes

    https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/savinelli/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=196653 I picked one of these up 2 weeks ago and it has proven to be a great smoker for English blends. 3/4 full it lasted 2 hours and 10 minutes, it was a really nice relaxing smoke.

    Abundance of Pipe Tobacco

    I started stocking up on VaPers and Virginia flakes and jarring them up. I just received an order that was 3.5 pounds of bulk, most is jarred and stashed away. When I have the spare funds I will repeat the order. Escudo tins, PS Luxury twist flake, Newminster #400 superior navy flake,Newminster...

    My Battle Of The VaPers

    GL Pease Telegraph Hill is also a decent VaPer. I find it benefits from a larger bowl but it is an easy smoking VaPer with good flavor the entire bowl.

    Newminster #400 Superior Navy Flake

    I have been smoking the Newminster #400 Superior Navy Flake for several days now. I find it to be a very good bulk flake. Have ordered a pound that should be here Monday to jar up.

    Are You Brand Conscious?

    I do not own very many pipes, so I have to say no to brand loyalty.

    Reconstituting Dry Tobacco

    I have been using those disks also, I have had good results with them so far. I place the disk in a "cup" of tinfoil and then place it in the jar.

    Help Wanted: Tobacco by the Pound and Blending Basics

    Mayfair, I have my first blend in the press right now. I wanted a cool smoking, mellow smoke that would provide something I could smoke several times a day. I used small quantities as test samples, keeping notes to my measurements. And when I tried it and it satisfied me I mixed a large batch...
