    Hurricane To Wipe Out Entire Virginia Crop

    Just read over at Fair Trade Tobacco, the owner says this storm will most likely wipe out the entire Virginia crop if it lands where expected. So.. stock up on your Virginias now before they go the way of the Reds.

    Are Ropes About To Disappear?

    The owner over had Whole Leaf Tobacco made a comment that wrapper grade Burley is in extreme short supply. Wrapper grade Burley is what is used to wrap ropes because it stretches like saran wrap when moist. It'll be interesting to see if the GH ropes in particular go "out of stock" for a...

    McClellands Still Available at Smoking Pipes

    I know McClelland's forte was Red Virginias but Smoking Pipes still has 12 pounds of Virginia Black Cavendish. I find this to be somewhat surprising because anything with the word "McClelland" sold out within hours of their closing.

    Health Benefits Of Tobacco

    As requested by several members, here is a little info on the health benefits of smoking. My intent is not to prove tobacco is healthy/unhealthy but just to show that there is a lot of research that shows there are benefits to smoking. Life is all about trade-offs (benefits to risks). The nature...

    A Place to Purchase Red Virginia

    This is probably not exactly what you Red Virginia addicts are looking for but you can still readily buy Red Virginia Whole Leaf. If you are super worried about the supply disappearing then buy a bunch of this stuff and store it for later use. You'll eventually need to learn how to hydrate and...

    Tell Me About Savenelli Oom Paul

    I just picked up a Savenelli 614KS Oscar Elite Oom Paul style. I paid $5.00 for it and was wondering what the history is. Mine has an Ebonite stem. I noticed the one's sold by vendors online use a lucite stem. Any info would be appreciated.

    Bengal Slices Back In Stock

    At Pipes and Cigars. As usual I did not get an email alert but just happened to be perusing their site. Just bad business. Why have an option for a " back in stock" email alert when they don't actually notify me?

    Pipes on the NFL Pregame Show

    Anyone else catch the NFL pregame show? It was the one with Coach Cowher, Boomer etc. They had a stupid little skit called (I think) "Masterpiece NFL". I came on like a fancy Brit show and it had one of the commentators sitting in a big chair wearing a smoking jacket AND a pipe in his hand...

    American Revolution.. British Point of View

    On another thread there was a request from a Brit for books on the American Revolution that would help him understand the history of the war a little better. I have a similar request. I am a big student of the American Revolution but all of the material I have is written from the American point...

    Does Red Cake Improve With Age?

    Due to the upcoming Tobaccogedon I've been stocking up on bulks. Along with my 5 pound order of Vintage Syrian I also ordered and ounce of Red Cake. It was very unimpressive. Being a sauced Virginia I'm assuming it will improve with age. So, does it improve so much that I should considering...

    Anyone Else Have A Tobacco Time Capsule?

    I often find things that were my Father's or my Grandfather's and I think "What the hell is this?" and even if I know, I'm thinking " How the hell do I use this" With that in mind I was thinking a while ago that maybe 10-20-30 years from now (given the current anti-tobacco climate) that people...

    My New Pipe Tobacco Shredder

    I know there is a small minority of you that buy whole leaf tobacco and an even smaller minority that grow your own. Here's a link to the new pipe tobacco shredder I just had shipped from Poland. It is a manual shredder with a 1.6mm cut. Built like a tank. This is the absolute best shredder out...

    Visiting the UK- how to buy some Condor?

    Folks, Quite a few people I work with always seem to be visiting the UK (from the US). I want to give them some money to bring me back some Condor. So- Assuming they get it at the Duty Free shop at the airport, what does a pouch of Condor cost? Is there a limit to how much they can bring back...
