    Most Underrated Tobaccos

    Milan Tobacco's Chartwell. Hand's down my favorite "English" tobacco. It has just the right amount latakia for me.

    I have an unopened tin of Stanwell's Kir and Apple and a few ounces of Nation's Capital by Russ Oulette that I have little to no use for.

    Possible New Favorite

    Does anybody know the best way to care for the leather? I'm thinking saddle soap will be the right tool.

    Possible New Favorite

    The pipe is stamped "Made in Tanganyika" so it has to be at least 52 years of making it the oldest pipe I own to boot. It's a Kiko. According to Pipedia that means the meerschaum came Lake Amboseli. My shoulders are too wide for a narrow brimmed fedora, but I do wear nice black driving cap in...

    Possible New Favorite

    I just received a leather wrapped meerschaum lined bulldog that I bought on ebay. I haven't had a chance to light it up yet, but I'm in love with its aesthetics. It couldn't be prettier and is amazingly light. This may become my new Ennerdale pipe.

    Pipes and Cigars - Build Your Own Pipe Combo

    Nice. I know just the smoker to recommend this to. He needs a new beater pipe and smokes codger blends.

    The eclectic mans pipe

    That is another fine pipe there, banjo. Though I did misread your title as the "electric mans pipe" and thought of those pipe shaped vaping devices

    FDA Regulations and Bulk?

    Thank you. That so often gets overlooked when the new regs come up and it is the most infuriating part. They did the same thing years back when they wiped out "flavored" cigarettes because they appealed to teens and kids but (conincidentally) Phillip Morris didn't sell any flavored cigarettes.

    What are some good beginner tobacco blends?

    The only way to know what you like is to smoke a variety. Blends featuring Latakia (called English and/or Balkan) are probably the easiest non-aromatics to get flavor from right away. Quality aromatics can be a wonderful introduction as well. If you know you like vanilla as a flavor pick up a...

    Rarity + condition = $$$

    That's neat. I wonder what the "inner tube" is and how it affects the smoke

    Falcons and such

    rolldog, just buy a meerschaum bowl and skip the break-in period. ;-)
