    Tin stickers

    Do you know if tobacco manufacturers would be willing to send full-tin-art stickers to individuals? I ask, because here in the states, we can still get tins without gratuitous "SMOKE KILLS" or "SMOKERS THROAT HOLE" art work. When it comes to the US getting this type of crap, I plan on covering...

    I finally bought an RV

    As the title says, I finally found an RV that was worth gutting and refurbishing (to my own standards) and one that was worth the price. The seller told me that he was not selling me an RV; he was selling me an engine and trans and the coach comes with it. :) It's a 28ft 1988 LaSalle by...

    How many batches/year for McClelland Frog Morton tins

    I bought some dusty Frog Morton yesterday with the date 450211. I know this means 45 (Blend) 02 (Batch) 11 (Year). My question is, approximately how many batches of FM does McClelland process per year? If they process 2 batches a month, this would be tinned Jan 2011. If they process one batch...

    A bit late for Memorial Day, but I offer it nonetheless

    Hey fellow puffers. I have a poem that I wrote several years ago back in college. I was trying my hand at the "ode", a semi-complex rhyme scheme (AB-AB-CDE-CDE). Anyway, the subject was the Civil War. So, in honor of Memorial Day... ODE TO A BATTLE LOST IN TIME</p> <p>Yon hill ahead...

    A growing cellar

    Well, during the past couple years, my cellar has begun to grow and multiply. I finally decided to go through and catalogue my the unopened tins and bulk bags (not including the bulk that I already have in jars for long-term, nor the ones popped open for rotation). It looks like I have just...

    Your recommendations for a Black Walnut flavor tobacco

    I have searched a few reviews, and even on here, but have not seen much in the way of a black walnut flavor. I did see one post here that mentions Brown Twist Sliced having a deep black walnut flavor, however, I'm not much of a fan of Burley. There was a TobaccoReview for McClelland - Bayou...

    McClelland Christmas Cheer 2010 vs newer

    The first Christmas Cheer that I purchased was a 2010, and my goodness that is great stuff. I still have some of the tin jarred away. Unfortunately, I only bought 1 tin of it. It was in my mind that all Christmas Cheer was the same blend, just a limited run each year. I was wrong. Oh no!! I...

    Using a mini-fridge (with thermostat controller) as a cellar

    So. A thermostat controller that goes between the outlet and the fridge plug. Thermostat goes in the fridge. Once the thermometer gets above 67, fridge comes on. This will keep the inside at a perfect cellar temperature. Now, what about the humidity. Would the minifridge create water vapor...

    TAD - 5 New and 2 cellars

    Well, I am finally to the point where I can start ordering small (as compared to the norm) TAD purchases. I already have a decent supply of my normal blends, so I decided to try out a few new ones. To start out, I bought 3 tins of BlackHouse. I love this balkan blend, and this will allow me to...

    Some life changes,an update

    Well. I am back. Quite a bit has changed in the last several months since I was on here daily, but I will give you the quick synopsis. The place I used to work in north central Arkansas was one of the 2 top producers of epoxy resin countertops, fumehood tops and sinks for labs, kitchens...

    WebMD - Why can't doctors be honest and upfront.

    I am not so sure that I can trust WebMD.com anymore. I decided to compare nicotine levels between a cigarette, cigar, and pipe bowl. I found this link. http://www.webmd.com/smoking-cessation/effects-of-smoking-pipes-and-cigars I will copy/paste the article below to save time. Pay attention to...

    The sudden passing of a loved one.

    I got a call yesterday from my mother. My uncle, Terry Eddings, was biking and was found dead at the scene of the bike wreck. It was first thought to be a hit-and-run, but the officers saw no skid marks, nor was there any transfer paint on the bike. It is thought that he either lost control or...

    How long should tobacco sit cold in a bowl?

    I will, at times, fill a bowl at home, and put it in my pocket, grab and fill another pipe, and go for a walk. This way, I can smoke a bowl on my walk, when its gone, I switch pipes, turn around, and walk back. The unlit tobacco is only in the bowl for half an hour or so, maybe an hour. However...

    Secret Santa? More like Ninja Pirate Sneak Attack Santa

    I joined this forum in the beginning of November, almost 2 months ago. Unfortunately, I was not qualified to take part in the Secret Santa, and actually I wasn't even aware of the social exchange until a couple weeks ago. Seeing the exchanges and generosity of this community towards one...

    Charles Fairmorn "Dark Fired Shag" - comparisons?

    I was looking up different types of shag-cut tobacco, and came across this one, and the reviews looked enticing. I tried searching for it, but apparently it is no longer in production, and the company website looks incomplete. Are there any good comparison tobaccos? Would Samuel Gawith KENDAL...

    Best way to make customed Honey Whiskey blend

    I have some Wild Turkey American Honey whiskey. It's the most marvelous and smoothest sweet honey whiskey I have had the pleasure of sipping. I thought I might like to blend this whiskey with a bit of tobacco, and age it. However, I have a couple questions. 1) Which existing blend would be...

    As the title states. Would this be a good price for the current market?

    Plaster of Paris pipes - a possible solution to breakage

    I have long loved the idea of smoking a meer, but never had the money to buy one, nor really saw a design that I liked. And buying raw blocks of meer is nigh impossible, unless you get pre-cut/stemmed DIY meers, but then you are stuck with only certain shapes. The problems that I have seen/read...

    Cellaring Aromatic Virginias

    Looking at this thread;HERE I see that Virginias age very well in the cellar. I had a 1lb bag of Mac Baren Vanilla Cream that was purchased in January 2011. Anyway, during a move, I had misplaced the unopened bag. It was packed away with some 3" black cherry pillar candles. Upon finding the...
