    Peterson Dunhill In Stock at SP

    There is a God in Zion! Flake will be arriving tomorrow.

    1 Grabow for 1 Year (8/2/19)

    Jay, you're an ass for that.

    Tiny holes on the bottom of the bowl that letting air out

    Yeah, five pipes from different makers, including two Rossis. Something else is going on.

    Tiny holes on the bottom of the bowl that letting air out

    My first thought was carburetor, but that doesn't sound like what you are describing. Are all five pipes from the same source? I suspect you may want to find a new source for cheap pipes.

    Getting Real About This Pirate Business.

    The line about counting to 19 had me in stitches. Hope you recover quickly.

    Tastes like burned leaves

    Smoking is an acquired taste--just like beer or whiskey. The first time you try them you are likely to only taste certain really strong and not necessarily pleasant flavors. But once your palate adjusts to those flavors, they don't dominate the experience, and entirely different flavors come...

    Any Pipe Tobacco Blends That Makes Faces Cooler and Sharper?

    I don't think anyone on this forum believes that tobacco changes facial shape (aside from the well-known fact that nicotine, in general, is an appetite suppressant and may help with weight loss). Again, nicotine has a well documented effect on human metabolism (it raises resting metabolic...

    Smoking in the UK vs. the US

    Oh, this made me laugh. I assumed "pound" meant a unit of weight (lb.) not currency (GBP/Sterling). The idea of getting 15 lbs. (240 oz.) of anything better than sawdust for $19 struck me as absurd.

    Sweetest Non-Aromatic

    If you are looking for natural sweetness I think a straight Cavendish is as sweet as you can get. I'm surprised by everyone going to straight Virginia, they are not nearly as sweet as Cavendish to my palate.

    This must be a typo.

    Dunhill Blends to Return? - Hearsay

    It is no longer available. How could it not have diminished their sales (of pipe tobacco)? Well, right, obviously. You can't patronize them by buying their tobacco because they have chosen not to sell it. Am I missing the point? Are you saying you won't buy other Dunhill branded products...

    Smoking in the UK vs. the US

    So not all that much. How long will you be there? How much do you smoke per week? If you are going as a study abroad student with no visa (e.g., six weeks) you could probably pack enough to get through (but you could probably also afford to just buy in the UK). If you are going for multiple...

    PSA - Sometimes Your Favorite Blend Stops Being Your Favorite

    Doblone d'Oro is a blend that strikes me as similar to cheesecake: I love an occasional slice of cheesecake, but I would never want to eat it every day for dessert, and I certainly wouldn't want it three meals a day. Doblone d'Oro just has so much going on, I feel like it would be easy to...

    Thanks ericusrex. I feel dumb.

    Pipe tobacco samples

    Does the FDA actually do that sort of policing? I know state level enforcement will set up stings for random retailers to check that they aren't selling to minors, but does the FDA do anything similar? Not to say that if I were a tobacconist I'd risk my livelyhood, but it just seems implausible...

    Trying to stick to one bowl per week

    What do you do with that? Set it on the edge of the bar and stoop down to puff? Also, it must take a full two-ounce tin to fill that bowl.

    Really Good Virginia in Bulk

    What is bef? I, for one, can not stand the aromatic topping on ltf--i'd call it caramel. Lnf is okay, but not a straight VA and not something I would consider great.

    Pipe tobacco samples

    I thought the regulations were the opposite: They were prohibited from giving away samples, but they could sell a very small quantity. I know I've been to tobacco shops with signs apologetically explaining that due to new regulations they must now charge for smoking a sample bowl of bulk...

    The Name is Tobacco But You Can Call Me....

    I generally agree. It doesn't bother or offend me, but it usually sticks out and feels unnatural like an attempt to use a lingo the user doesn't know--"Look I heard this once on Little House on the Prarie and maybe if I casually drop it in conversation I will look like I've been doing this...
