    Reincarnation ,What do You Think?

    Haribol spirit soul, The picture in OP is from the Bhagavad Gita As It Is which is my scripture of choice. I even lived in a Hare Krishna temple for a small time. I do indeed believe in reincarnation of the soul. Even if you are not a religious fellow incarnation is not hard to accept. On a...

    When i ordered a grab bag of cobs a few months ago every single one was smokeable and in near perfect condition with the faintest of cosmetic blemishes. Love my cobs! Smoking from my General right now.

    What's Your Favorite Frog Morton Blend?

    I've only tried FMOTB and FMC. I love cellar but FMOTB is still pretty great. I need to try the other Froggies as soon as i can afford it.

    Ghosting One's Mouth

    I experienced "mouth ghosting before" with the dreaded Hobbit's Weed. Everything tasted like Hobbit's Weed for days. Brushing teeth, different pipes, nothing could exorcize that demon for a while.

    Best Drug Store Tobacco?

    I haven't tried any OTC tobacco in years and in fact have barely seen any of the old classic OTC brands available in a while. I just stopped into rite-aid in Portland and they had a bit of a selection. Some terrible bulk aromatics, some RYO types like bugler and drum, also the captain blacks...

    Cleaned my Pipes Last Night (Olive Oil)

    I use a dab of olive oil once in a while and then rub it in really well and then buff it off. You can't just plop it on there and leave it on! No wonder your pal's pipes got nasty.

    Latest Tobacco Aquisition From P&C

    It would be really great if you did quick impression upon each tobacco as you tried them all in one thread. Could be a cool journey to follow. Like a sampler journal!

    FMOTB in a Sav punto oro. For some reason not enjoying good bowls today. Something in my mouth chemistry seems to be a bit off. I come to this thread to post, but I stay to drool over cigrmaster's pipes.

    Customs ... Just Downright Stupid

    I will feel SOOOOO BAD of they take it again! Some other guys were suggesting insuring the package. In the states that would only be a dollar or two. Not sure if its possible in NZ.

    Customs ... Just Downright Stupid

    It seems they are tough in your country. I think upon opening the tobacco you sent me, they just decided to keep it for themselves! Haha. Sorry to hear about the continuing troubles.

    Sounds like air bubbles.

    Also you can dry our your tobaccos for about 30 minutes before smoking. depending on how goopy your aros are. If you smoke a pipe with a filter such as a sav, brigham or MM cob it will help eliminate that moisture. Also, sometimes just slowing down will help. countdown to Roth coming in with...

    In Praise of The Humble Cob.

    Just got an unsmoked old stock MM freehand from eBay. The pictures weren't great but I pulled the trigger at only $17 it was a steal. Once it got here it had a bit of oxidation on the stem which I took care of and sweetened the pipe with some Bulleit Rye whiskey. Best part about this pipe is...

    That was Fast...

    definitely take your time on the next bowl of black house. You will be greatly rewarded. And yeah i made the mistake of storing some aros with some latakia based blends once and ruined all the aros.

    What Are You Smoking? *January 2013*

    Cigrmaster, that Ruthenberg bent apple is a beauty! I'm smoking my first bowl of Pelican in my much maligned Amadeus straight pot pipe. I just opened up the draft a bit today so it's a good test. So far i like the Pelican okay but nothing to write home about.
