    Strange stuff on my tobacco

    I just cracked a new 8oz tin of c and d Sunday picnic. The flakes have a whiteish coating on them. Plus there are some strange white strings in some of the flakes. I think they are plastic as they crumble when I touch them. I had this on backorder for awhile at p&c and they finally sent me some...

    Rusty tins

    I just cracked open a one year old tin or dunhill flake. It was my first aged tin I have opened. The tobacco was great however I noticed the corners of the tins were rusting a little on the inside There was no problem with the seal but I am wondering how long it will last after seeing rust...

    Hamburger veermaster revisited

    When I originally cracked a new tin of this I wasn't a huge fan. I jarred it and now have come back to it a year later. It has mellowed and deepened in flavor at the same time. It is a beautiful tobacco tasting like caramel now. Not sweet in a bright virginia way but much deeper and subtle.

    One year in

    One year ago, I stumbled upon this forum. Until then I had been an occasional pipe smoker of drug store blends, foul B&M aromatics and mostly 1Q. Now, thanks to this forum, I've acquired a serious case of PAD and TAD. I just looked back through my orders from the past year and it looks like...

    MM Corn Cob Quality Issues

    I bought a mm corn cob legend from my b&m and loved it. I decided to get some more and ordered three more from an online retailer about 6months ago. These seemed different than the one I got from my local shop. First of all they had a wooden part in the bottom of the bowl that took up a large...

    Good Bulk Virginia

    Any recommendations on a decent bulk Virginia or vaper that is a decent price and comes in a ribbon? I am looking for something cheap and easy for when I am on the go that I can stuff in my cob and smoke all day. Ive tried mcclellens and aj,s and they didn't quite do it for me.

    Aging in Tins

    When I went into my cellar the other day I could smell the tobacco in my tins. This makes me wonder if they are really well sealed and worth leaving in there for a year or ten. Should I just open them and jar them up?

    Your "Go-To" Blends

    I have a question for seasoned pipe smokers. Since I have only been at this for alittle while, I have been trying every blend that I can get my hands on. I seem to like most of them. My question is that if you've been smoking for a while do you stick with one or two blends or are you always...

    Vucanite vs Acrylic

    What are the pros and cons of these two stem materials. Also, are the plastic ones made with Bpa? I just listened to a news report about how naty that stuff is and was wondering if it's in my pipe stems.

    Orlik Golden Sliced ?

    Does anyone know if the Orlik golden sliced 100g tins are vacu sealed? I was going to buy a bunch to put up and wanted to make sure it was sealed. I think the solani 100g aren't sealed so I was just wondering.

    EMP

    For my weekend tin, I cracked a Dunhill EMP. I really liked it a lot. Although I love English and Latakia it seemed like the lat was a lot more subdued and allowed the other tobacco flavors to come through more. Also I could and did smoke it all day. With other Lat blends one bowl is enough...
