Your Favorite Tobacco Discovery of 2021
I started back in September, so it has been all discovery. Nailing down a favorite is tough but I’m just gonna say GLP Union Square. Love the pure, unadulterated Virginia.- Bivymack

Good news! I managed a tin of Dunbar and Tilbury, they’d just run out Stonehaven ?- Bivymack

Samuel Gawith Poor Tin Seal?
We’re in the middle of it dude. ~1 month ago someone here mentioned a drop coming in “a couple weeks”, they were about two weeks off.- Bivymack

Samuel Gawith Poor Tin Seal?
If I lift them up by the lid they won’t come off, but the ease of popping one for the first time is close to open one that’s already been opened. Comparing the smell of this to my tins of MB ODF for example. Sure if they’re in the drawer for months I can smell ambient tobacco when I open the...- Bivymack

Samuel Gawith Poor Tin Seal?
I’ve dated the handful of tins that have arrived so far back to April ‘21. All 4 seals are broken, I can smell the tobacco along the lid. Check your tins if you've placed orders with this most recent drop. Will foil tape be adequate or should I jar the stuff?- Bivymack

Samuel Gawith Poor Tin Seal?
My first ever tins of FVF arrived today (stoked!), have a few other different SG tins en route. Right away these things do not seem sealed too well. I couldn’t help myself and popped a tin to throw in a mason, the lid just lifted right off. I’m used to Mac Baren tins I have to pry with a dang...- Bivymack

What Time of Day do you Enjoy your Pipe the Most?
I find it difficult to motivate committing to a full bowl once it gets dark and close to wind down time. I smoke exclusively outside, so that is part of the hang up. Love a pipe with my morning coffee more than anything.- Bivymack

Is Esoterica Starting to Hit?
I’ve gotten lucky recently with numerous tins of solani ABF and a smattering of SG (including FVF, which I’ve been anxiously awaiting). Totally missed out on the recent eso drops, despite this still content with the recent acquisitions. Are drops common this time of year? Seems like a lot has...- Bivymack

Should I Care about this Drilling by Castello?
Nice catch. I learned little late to scrutinize my new pipes after smoking a Savinelli 673 with a stem that lines up crooked and an off center draught hole. Smokes fine but still, dammit. Tough to not have a local B&M to check pipes out in person.- Bivymack

C&D Burley Flakes Ranking
Thanks for the in depth reply. I believe 1 and 2 will be my jumping off point with these. Have been smoking OJK and HH burley flake with my morning coffee and have wanted something with a different/stronger burley profile. I have a slight perique sensitivity so OJK gets to me on occasion and I...- Bivymack

C&D Burley Flakes Ranking
These are some of my favorites so far as well. I was asking specifically about the C&D “Burley Flake” blends, none of which I have had.- Bivymack

C&D Burley Flakes Ranking
I’ve developed quite a fondness for burley. I’m wondering how these flakes 1-5 stack up to one another, folks here care to rank and compare?- Bivymack
