    Virginia Flake Hoarders: This Is It!

    Sounds interesting. Thanks for the heads-up. On the SPC site they describe it as, "A flue-cured Virginia flake with a light aromatic topping". Is it true it has an aromatic toping? If so, would you be so kind as to elaborate? Thanks

    Kaywoodie Stems, Stingers and Hand Mades

    This is probably a really stupid question, but are the KW "Hand Made" pipe truly hand made? Not factory assembly line production, or what ever the alternative would be for how KW's are made? Very nice pipes you got there, voorhees.

    Taking A Break

    What happened? I missed it, but what ever it was, you crusty old bastards did it, and now someone's done got his panties in a wad and left. Nice going, guys. What a bunch of pricks!

    R.I.P. Johnny B. Goode

    Indeed. I was thinking about what an amazing body of song this man produced, every song so great.........except for that one! It got a lot of airplay, though. One of the great songwriters for sure.

    weezell, the carbon is from smoking, it has been smoked.

    R.I.P. Johnny B. Goode

    Anthony, I could not agree more. There would be no rock'n'roll as we know it if not for Chuck Berry. Take away just about any Rock'n'Roll guitar hero and you would still have Chuck Berry; take away Chuck Berry and the rest disappear.

    Does Composite Meerschaum Color?

    Hi folks, I read somewhere a while ago that only Genuine Block Meerschaum will color as it is smoked, and a pipe made from composite Meerschaum will remain white. Can anyone confirm if this is true? I am trying to determine if an unmarked pipe I have acquired is block meerschaum or composite...

    FVF 250g Box for Aging

    Thanks guys. Don't know how I missed that recent thread. Must have been asleep at the wheel. Sorry to be redundant and take up bandwidth. My daughter has been using my laptop and it's hard to get around the site with my phone.

    FVF 250g Box for Aging

    Hi Folks, I have an unopened 250g box of FVF that I would like to let age for a couple of years. Just curious if you leave the box sealed and let it age as packaged from SG, or is it best to open it and transfer to a jar? What's the shelf life of these boxes? Also, any idea how old the blend...

    Moving Towards Va & VaPer Tobaccos

    It seems like Va and VaPer come later. For me they came as flake, which was a major revelation and expansion, both Va and flake and coins. I have never smoked an Aro, because I am a tobacco snob and i wouldn't be caught dead with a pouch of aro next to my designer cob. English always did it for...

    Trouble With P&C Site (02/18/2017)

    Hi, I am curious if anyone has placed a new order in March and if they received it on time. I am wondering specifically for ordering the Dunhill tins that are sale this month. My IPSD order is still "processing", but perhaps new orders are are back to normal? Also, fwiw, I can now long on to...

    coffinmaker, that picture could be the cover of a dime store detective novel. If the pistol doesn't stop them, just hit them over the head with that phone.

    Italians vs British, Crack Your Knuckles, Lets Go

    I started smoking with my dad's old Italian pipes. Lots of older Caminettos and Ascortis. They are great. Solid, great dry smokes, nice to hold and look at. Of late though I have been getting into English billiards and have acquired some Dunhill, Ferndown, older GBD and Comoy's, plus a few of...

    The Nicotine Experience: Pipes Vs. Cigarettes vs. ?

    ohhhhh....Gauloise. I enjoyed those and Gitanes. I considered them the espresso of the cigarette world, and actually quite nice with an espresso after a good meal. Yea, here in CA it sure ain't the good old days any more. I remember what it like before the smoking bans. Things seemed to work...
