    Blending

    I bought some Borkum Riff Authentic while I was waiting for my usual pipe tobacco to arrive. Did not care for it at all. Very bland with little taste or smell. Suggestions on what I could add to it so that it smokes better? Thanks

    First Time Blending.

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) - Bob Bought some Sail tobacco from one of the few remaining Brick and Mortar stores because I was desperate. Then I received my regular order of Pipe and Book Old style from Cup O' Joes. Any thoughts on how I would go about blending them?

    Tight stem

    I bought a Peterson Donegal Rocky pipe X105, It is a straight billard style. Great pipe except for the fact that the stem is a really tight fit into the shank. Very difficult to turn or remove. Any suggestions as to what I can use to make it turn more smoothly?

    Siverts -Brick and Mortar Store in Halifax NS Closing

    Sadly Sieverts in Halifax, one of the only brick and mortar pipe tobacco shops in Nova Scotia is closing. Staff were always friendly and knowledgeable about pipe smoking. I even took a flea market pipe to them, when I couldn't get any draw out of it and they fixed it at no charge.

    Seattle Plum

    So I ordered this tobacco based on the name and the fact that I was born in Seattle originally. Being the romantic I am I thought that it would smell like plum pudding. Boy was I wrong, it's aroma is more reminiscent of old dirty socks or dead fish. However is a nice smoke, so can't have...

    With Pipe and Book

    Love this tobacco. Went a couple of days without as I waited for it to arrive. Perfect Black Cavendish. A great sweet smoke. Nice to have my pipe and tobacco again.

    Hobbit Weed

    Just tried the 4 Noggins Hobbit Weed blend. Tastes and smells like black cherries. No tongue bite. Very smooth smoke right from the package. Will be ordering this again!

    Tolkien's tobacco( almost)

    Just got some Capstan Ready Rubbed from Cup of Joes. I know that Tolkien smoked Capstan Blue, but this was close as I could get. I smoked it in my churchwarden pipe and imagined I was a wizard.

    Anyone Remember Royal Tivoli Tobacco?

    Hi, anyone remember Royal Tivoli Tobacco? Dad used to smoke it and as a kid I used to remember the tins with the fireworks going off atop Tivoli Gardens. Is there a modern day equivalent? I also want to try and get a hold of an old Tivoli tin sometime for nostalgia sake.

    Tamping?

    I am just wondering what is tamping? I see great pictures of members with brass tampers, what are they used for? I am a simple man and just put the tobacco in the pipe bowl,push it down with my finger, light it and smoke it. Is there some other way I could be doing it?
