    Rant for 9/2/14

    Brian, I'm usually with you on your rants, and while they should probably call them "non-meat toppings", but since when is a carrot a vegetable? Do you only eat the green tops? Aren't they the woody root of the plant? Just my 2 cents. (all in jest. I love the show and hats off to you...

    Strange Item In My New Tin Of Larry's Blend

    I picked up a tin of Hearth & Home Larry's Blend at the St. Louis Pipe Show and decided to open it tonight. Upon openning it, I had 2 rather large stick-like items right on top. One turns out to be a long folded ribbon of oriental but I couldn't figure out the other. I took it to the table...

    New Captain Black Premium Line

    I was at the St. Louis Pipe Show yesterday and a representative from the Scandinavian Tobacco Group was there with several samples of tins and bulk. There were a handful of Captain Black 50g tins that I had not seen before. I asked the rep about them and he said they were a new premium line...

    I Will Never Forget Those Who Gave Their All

    On this 72nd anniversary of Pearl Harbor, please remember those who gave their all for the cause. War is hell for everyone involved. But I am so glad that so many throughout the ages have stepped up to the call where I am unable. I am forever in their debt. So I hereby light up a bowl in...

    Memories

    My wife and I decided to do some yard sale shipping this morning in a nearby college town that is known for its anti-smoking penchant. Of course I took my pipe and puffed away in the car. We were at our last stop and I hopped out with my newly lit bowl in my mouth without even thinking. As...

    What Is Too Much Markup?

    Just curious... What is to much markup? I visited my B&M today and prices are 125% or more compared to what I can get the same product online. I understand they have more overhead, and I like to patronize my local provider when I can. But I'm thinking this is a bit much for what disposable...

    Sutliff Tin Question for Cellaring

    I bought my first Sutliff blends recently and enjoy them greatly. I have since ordered more for the cellar. But I notice they don't come in the regular "tin" but instead it is made of some sort of aluminum-lined cardboard. Does this affect the ability to cellar the tobacco using these "tins"...

    Cellar Jars Sealing Themselves?

    About 2 months ago I stocked up on some of my favorite bulk blends. After distributing it among my Ball half-pint canning jars (with flats and rings), I placed it in my cellaring room that stays about 72F degrees year-round. Recently, I've been hearing the jars "pop" as the jar "cans" itself...

    Cleaning A Zippo Pipe Insert

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to clean the residue buildup on a Zippo lighter pipe insert after it has lit several bowls? Depending on the blend I'm smoking in a given week or so, the buildup can be from very little to really black and almost tar-like. I've tried using Everclear that...

    Dates on Tinned Tobacco

    I was wondering if there was any way to determine when a tin of tobacco was produced? My latest tin of Frog Morton shows 460813. Any known Dick Tracy decoder rings?

    Newbie Cellaring Question

    I'm just getting into amassing some bulk tobacco. When I put it in Mason jars, should I put it in loosely or pack the jar tight?

    Advantage of Flake Versus Rubbed Out?

    Ok, I'm definitely a noob when it comes to tobacco. I've always smoked bulk tobacco from my local pipe store, which is what I would call "loose" or "rubbed out". I just received my first tins of Beacon and Black Parrot. Upon opening, I found the tobacco to be in strips about 1" long. I...

    Suggestions for a very tasty tobacco

    Hello all, I have been smoking pipes for over 25 years and enjoy it immensely. However, I have lost my sense of smell due to a viral infection that attacked my nasal receptors. Unfortunately, this has really decreased my pipe smoking pleasure. I have found that tobacco that used to taste and...
