    Prince Albert is Being Discontinued

    I just got off the phone with P&C customer service. I was informed that Prince Albert was being discontinued, and that was why they've been out of the 1.5 oz. pouches for a while. Sad day for me, but at least I have a 2 or 3 pounds stashed away. Hard to see another icon go by the wayside.

    Hint of Virginia in LLRR?

    I have been on a kick of Lane Limited Ready-Rubbed lately. I love the hint of tangy sweetness to it. Here's the rub (no pun intended): I am very sensitive to Va bite, and am wondering if that tangy sweetness is coming from a bit of Va, since LLRR will bite me a little if I don't smoke sooooooper...

    Finally, the Proof We've All Been Waiting For!

    I would like to direct your attention to page 48 of the July 2018 Pipes and Cigars catalog: "Just because you're looking to buy a new pipe at a reasonable price doesn't mean you have to get an unattractive pipe that's poorly engineered - treat yourself to a Crown." There you go. A pipe that is...

    Arlo Guthrie's Blend

    Is it just me, or does the album cover for "The Best of Arlo Guthrie" look like it should contain an insanely good pipe tobacco blend?

    RE: Rule # 6

    Rule #6 addresses political posts. Wouldn't it be a lot more straightforward (and easier on the mods) if the rule simply stated "No political posts allowed"? The "...(unless they have to do with tobacco policies and legislation)." part should probably just be removed, because we all know what...

    Many Thanks, Fellas

    Not so long ago, and in the course of another thread, I asked for suggestions for small cigars to smoke when I couldn't futz with a pipe while at work. I got quite a few good suggestions, in the thread and via PM. So I wanted to thank youse guys for the suggestions, and let you know what I tried...

    Bad News For Art Lovers

    A couple of months ago, Ted DeGrazia's handmade chapel, filled with irreplaceable murals, caught fire and was more or less completely destroyed. DeGrazia's home and studio, adjacent to the chapel, were thankfully spared, as it was turned into a beautiful gallery after his death. It is an...

    Excellent P&C Order

    I haven't ordered anything from P&C since just before the software/holiday fiasco. Not because of any bad press here on the forums, but because I simply didn't need anything. On the 25th, I ordered a couple types of cigars and a Little Devil cutty (just because I didn't have one!). I used their...

    Anyone Made a Corncob Hungarian?

    I decided to mod one of my beloved Missouri Meerschaum Mark Twains to be a better "hanging pipe" for reading and smoking. I used a "Christmas tree" shaped wood carving bit to elongate the hole the shank goes into to make the shank enter at 45 degrees. Since the wooden plug was relieved to...

    Clay Pipe Stem Question

    Here's a question for you clay pipe fans out there. Would there be any disadvantage to fabricating a bone or horn sleeve to go over the stem of a clay pipe? I was thinking that making a 1 to 2 inch sleeve for the bit end, then gluing it into place with non-toxic white glue, might be a way around...

    Half & Half - Not Nearly As Bad As I Remember

    My local grocery store started carrying Half & Half again, so as an impulse buy I bought a pouch. I don't remember the last time I tried it, but I'm pretty sure I threw away more of it than I smoked. I decided to give it another go, though, for several reasons. I tend to really like codger...

    P&C Hit With Massive Tax?

    I was just reading the Mars Cigars thread about a new Pa. state tax hike; I am assuming this will affect P&C as well, since they are in Bethlehem, Pa. P&C is my go-to e-tailer (I know, boo, hiss, etc.), so I am wondering if their prices are about to go waaaay up. Anyone have any insight into...

    Revelation Concerning "Breathsmoking"

    I have heard the term "breathsmoking", and had a vague but uninformed idea of what it actually was. Frankly, I have never had the types of problems that breathsmoking might seem to address, and so did not delve into it at all. However, just today, reading a randomly found pipesmoking article, I...

    Dunhill and John Cotton's 1&2 Comparison

    I've had a tin of John Cotton's 1&2 in my rotation for a couple of days now, and am enjoying it very much. I think it reminds me of one of the Dunhill classics, but I can't put my finger on which one. The problem is, the only Dunhill tobacco I smoke regularly instead of occasionally is Nightcap...

    Epic Tobacco Smuggling Sting!

    Anybody see this in the news? Apparently a NASCAR driver named Derek White is the new Dutch Schultz, smuggling tobacco into Canada instead of smuggling whisky out. Interesting times, indeed.

    Prince Albert Pouch vs. Tub

    I have heard there is a difference between PA in the pouch and PA in the plastic tub. Does anyone have firsthand knowledge of this? I have only bought it in the pouch, since it is readily (and cheaply) available in the grocery stores here.

    First Smoke In A Decatur Pipe

    Like a hayseed rube in the big city, I was gulled in yet again by P&C's slick marketing tactics. To be more specific, buy the John Cotton's sampler (which I wanted anyway), and get free shipping on an entire order! Who could resist? Not this bumpkin. I had been eyeballing the Decatur pipes ever...

    Grabow Freehand vs. Big Pipe

    I know Dr. Grabow pipes vary in size quite a bit, even within the same name/line. Therefore, this question is looking for a "generally speaking" type of answer. My Grabow Freehand is by far the biggest Grabow I own; how does the bowl size of the Big Pipe stack up to the Freehand? The reason I...

    MM Twain Chamber Diameter and Boring Them Bigger

    While perusing another forum, I noticed someone had the same thought I did. Well, almost. Let me explain. I have four MM Twain cobs. I fell in love with the first two I bought. Having survived the drought a few years ago that made all MM cob production tiny, I bought two more to squirrel away. I...
