    Thanks Mike!

    It doesn't. I've already asked Mike and he didn't know. Nevertheless, thanks for thinking of somewhere to look!

    Mouthwash (Trust Me I Have A Point)

    If I had to guess, OP is trying to link smoking and alcohol, a main ingredient within mouthwash, as precursors for causing oral cancer. The thinking usually goes, "well, why is it that I can drink booze but not be in the same risk class as someone who both drinks and smokes," or something along...

    Castello Nomenclature

    Hi All, Recently got a great deal on a repaired Old Sea Rock with Reg. numbers and Hollco diamond bit. Something that puzzles me, however, is that it is stamped with shape number and letter- "32 A". I understand the shape number but what puzzles me is the "A" designator. Any idea what it means...

    Esoterica Blues- Remember Bengal Slices?

    Once the word got out that Esoterica tobaccos had resurfaced, I headed over to Pipes and Cigars to try and score a bag of Stonehaven and a tin of Penzance. Got lucky with the Stonehaven, but no luck on the Penzance. My cart got modified while I was shopping- someone had beat me to getting some...

    Penznace and Stonehaven available at L. J. Peretti

    I've not purchased a lot of tobacco from Peretti's (I did like the Omega blend they have), but what I have has been outstanding and really tasty. Having worked on the other side of the counter, I tend to give sales clerks the benefit of the doubt. They have to put up with a lot of jerks for not...

    First Dunhill!

    I have a Bruyere bulldog with a saddle bit from Dunhill, and it is a fabulous smoker. From the looks of yours, I bet it will be too!

    Are they really THAT good??

    Dear escioe: I didn't say aging tobacco or wine was hype or that these things couldn't age well. Rather, what I said was that if you didn't like it when it was fresh, why in the world would you age it to see if you liked it later? And in fact, I just had something of his that had nearly 15 years...

    Are they really THAT good??

    But that's just it, thehappypiper- I've had his blends from the very beginning (late 90's) and after all this time still don't care for them (but I haven't had them all, so maybe there is one I would like, as I said before). Why should I cellar something on the hopes that I'll eventually like...

    Are they really THAT good??

    While I remember Greg Pease's tobaccos from the ill fated partnership with Irwin Friedman quite well, I have to say I haven't been impressed with his tobaccos then or now (of the ones I've tried, of course- maybe I just haven't had the right one). The word that keeps coming up in my tasting...

    Trading Pipes and Collection Building

    Hi All, Something I've noticed over the years is that there seems to be less "collection building" and "horse trading" among the briar crowd than in years past. It's sort of like how you used to see a lot of engraved shotguns (70-80's), but now, not so much. I'm certainly not claiming that no...

    Pouch lining repair

    Just to bring this full circle: I sent the pouch off to Bob at http://whitewoodleather.com for a relining. He did a fantastic job and the turn around was quick. He also reconditioned the leather itself and it looks darn near brand new. If you have a pouch you'd like to repair, Bob did good work...

    ***What Are You Smoking*** (April 2014)

    The rain is coming down gently now. The map says it is going to get rougher later, like it will beat the ground as if it owed it money. Power, that sweet juice that runs the world and all that's in it-civilization-may or may not go out. Out to where is anyone's guess. I've got my newest...

    Great Smokes Some Days...and Lousy Smokes on Others????

    Have you considered the weather? There is a lot to be said for ambient humidity and temperature and the role it plays while smoking certain blends of tobaccos. For instance, during the fall, when the weather turns a bit chilly and the humidity rises around periods of rain, I've found VA/Perique...

    Pouch lining repair

    Hi All, I've finally gone and worn out one of my favorite Dunhill roll up tobacco pouches. The leather is in great shape, but the liner has finally failed. I'd hate to throw the thing away, but I've not a clue on how to either repair this (getting the liner material would be a trick unto itself)...
