    Eltang Basic- Question

    I just bought an Eltang basic and have smoked it a couple times. The problem is it’s letting off this strong smell that isn’t pleasing. Assuming it’s the finish burning off on the outside. You guys think this very unpleasant smell will go away if I keep smoking it?

    Best MacBaren Deal I’ve Seen

    I really like a good number of MacBaren Tobaccos and picked up 20 more tins at a 30% discount. This is the biggest sale on Macbaren that I have seen. Sale was at Tobaccopipes.com.

    Drying an Entire Tin

    Does anyone dry an entire tin at a time so it will be ready to smoke when you open the jar? So drying the whole tin to a preferred humidity then transferring to a jar so you can just stuff and go each time you smoke it? Anyone do this. Some times I get tired of laying out each bowl before a...

    Rotation

    I tend to smoke a blend exclusively for awhile without switching it up. A lot of times I’ll smoke through a 2oz. tin of one blend without anything else in between. It helps me pull all the nuances out and really get to know a blend before moving on to the next. Anyone else do this?

    Compromised Tins

    I’m a believer in keeping the tobacco in their original tins with few exceptions. One that I want to bring to your attention is the 3.5 ounce Rattrays tins. The tall skinny tins that contain Hal O The Wynd, Old Gowrie, Marlin Flake. They rust on the bottom so keep an eye out if you have any...

    Enjoying Latakia? Anyone?

    Man! I used to not care for Latakia whatsoever. I still have about 12 or so tins of various Latakia blends from years ago. So I popped a tin of Gaslight just to revisit the dark leaf and I’m enjoying the hell out of it! I’m predominantly a Va, Vaper, and VaBur smoker. I’ve been smoking...

    Preserve Your Cellars

    I’ve been doing what this guy said in his post for years. All non C&D and Mcclelland type tins get parafilm wrapped as explained below. I don’t do this on opened tins as I transfer anything opened to Mason jars.

    What’s Going on in The Czech Republic?

    These guys are making some phenomenal pipes. If you are an artisan fan they are making pipes as well crafted as any. Not to mention their prices are very reasonable.

    Thoughts on This Pipe

    This pipe speaks to me. Love the looks of it and really enjoy smoking stubby pipes. It’s sold but thinking about a commission.

    Old Joe Krantz

    Every time I take a break from this blend and come back to it, I realize why I have so much of it cellared. This for me is a comfort blend that is so easy to manage. It packs, lights, and stays lit without effort. It gives a consistent taste, lots of smoke, and warms my soul. This my friends...
