    Werner Mummert Glass Shank Reverse Calabash Poker With Polymerized Pine Cone

    I think he's a great example of how high end goods work. They have to have something to set them apart. And they aren't like Sav or Peterson where they have a wide appeal but they can exist in basically the same space. You couldn't really tell me that one is clearly better then the other or that...

    Werner Mummert Glass Shank Reverse Calabash Poker With Polymerized Pine Cone

    I've never been a fan of any of his I've seen. But still really glad that someone out there is taking a playful outlook on pipe making. And I also have to admit the price point turns me off.

    Briar or Brylon? How to Tell?

    It looks like wood of some sort. I've seen varnish like that on briar before. One thing young briar has a nasty taste, and sometimes is used on novelty pipes. You don't run into uncured or young briar because there isn't such a high demand for pipes these days, but it can happen. I doubt it's...

    Cellaring wet tobacco

    it should be fine at whatever range of moisture it is shipped at. Unless it's wet because it was in a flood. I'd say leave and then dry to taste when ready to smoke.

    Tolkien Adjacent Video

    Now I will always see Bilbo as a smiling reindeer that does Santa cosplay. Seriously though the two books I can see besides the Tolkien ones are also great books. Huxley wrote what might be my favorite book, Point Counter Point.

    no idea but for me a lot of it's how it smells.
