    B&Ms Repricing Tins Higher

    Lots of great points and a fantastic discussion folks. I'll respond in length when I get home from Vegas. Damned 'puter is giving me fits here and locks up intermittently at the most inopportune times. Jamie.

    B&Ms Repricing Tins Higher

    I'm curious as to what everyone's opinions are on this practice. Personally, I think it's lower than low. I was at a B&M in Vegas this evening, sat and enjoyed a couple of fine cigars and a couple of hours of fine chat with a local who frequents the place. Prices are higher (significantly) than...

    GL Pease JackKnife Plug - First Impression

    Just arrived in Vegas today and had a couple of packages waiting for me, and one of 'em contained an 8 oz tin of this. The first bowl was interesting enough for me to enter a brief 1st impression review. Opening: The tin popped audibly so it was well sealed. I only took out the first brick and...

    Burning My Tongue Just About Every Time

    You're welcome! I would have to say yes, but most likely to the extent you're looking for. Think about the difference between a Lonsdale or a Lancero and a Robusto (or any large RG stick). With the same draw through both, which will burn hotter, albeit getting the same amount of smoke? Now with...

    Burning My Tongue Just About Every Time

    Here's some advice from a cigar / pipe smoker who struggled same as you, and still do, at times. Some very good advice above, but here's my take on what I've learned from the mistakes I've made. 1./ Pack loose, VERY loose. You are much better off tamping a bit after lighting and enjoying the...

    SG Chocolate Flake Vs GH Bob's Chocolate Flake

    Thanks for your input all. I decided on SG's Chocolate Flake. I was also going to try the Two Friends but I found Best Brown in stock (which I wasn't expecting) so that bumped it off my main list. Jamie

    SG Chocolate Flake Vs GH Bob's Chocolate Flake

    Thanks Scarface. Now lately I've been put off blends heavy in Latakia. BCF I've found to have the slightest hint of latakia, sometimes so little I can't sense it behind everything else going on with the blend. From what I've read on the SG CF, while maybe more Latakia than BCF, I'm assuming it's...

    SG Chocolate Flake Vs GH Bob's Chocolate Flake

    Leaving for Vegas in a few days and ready to pull the trigger on an order. BCF was very high on my list, but alas, can't find it anywhere in stock. So could anyone here give an honest comparison between the two, as the SG CF is available? Thanks in advance. Jamie

    What Are Your Top Five Go To Tobaccos

    Stokkebye's LBF FVF BCF (when I can get some) Stokkebye's LNF Peterson's PP I enjoy these threads as well. Always gets me thinking on my next shopping list

    My Battle Of The VaPers

    In many cases, yes. I could probably buy Half & Half for a fraction of the price we pay for FVF, BCF, etc, but I don't, nor will I. But in the case of the tobaccos shown above, there is only a slight difference at the best of times. Also (as noted above), me being on the expensive side of the...

    My Battle Of The VaPers

    I would have to agree with that, but to me, the price difference (3 lbs PS Vs. a lb of Escudo) changes things. Great discussion folks, thanks for chiming in. Numerous well thought and written opinions of varying preferences. One VaPer on my short list, that I haven't smoked in years, isn't...
