Organic pipe tobacco brands?
Jeremy Reeves addressed a question similar to this in one of the recent Pipes Magazine Radioshows. This radioactive issue never came up though. He said that after processing and aging that there is a minuscule amount of residual chemicals from the growing process, way less than 1% if I remember...- BrightDarkEyes

Wet Shave
It is much better shave and very economical. I found this tobacco scented shaving cream that was made in honour of my old barber. He recommended that I use these blades after I started using a safety razor about a dozen years ago. The shaving cream lasts me about two years. I bought a whole...- BrightDarkEyes

Travel to Mexico City / Smoking Laws
If you own a private residence in Mexico City, that would be your only place to legally smoke. If a hotel provides a designated smoking area, it is still illegal under their law as far as I know.- BrightDarkEyes

***What Are You Smoking, September 2025?***
The last of a tin of 2024 Sun Bear Black Locust in a natural finish Anima pipe with a honey pot rustication. This pipe has never been smoked by me and it looks like it was only smoked once after I got it as an estate. I will dedicate this to Sun Bear or honey cased tobaccos. It sure tastes good...- BrightDarkEyes

How Do Yanik Figural Pipes Smoke?
I am not sure about his figural pipes. I have a S.Yanik straight pot that has good drilling and smokes fine. The stem is more like an orifice bit that is fairly large and round, so I can only guess that his carving is most important and stems are not his first priority.- BrightDarkEyes

They sent me Christmas cards for bronze level but I don’t think I’ll even get that this year. A t-shirt sounds much better than a blank card.- BrightDarkEyes

***What Are You Smoking, August 2025?***
Lovats are a favourite shape of mine as well. This one reminds me of something Scottie Piersel would make. It definitely does not have a metal tube going through the bamboo, which is my preference. If bamboo shanks can be considered more round, I don't know if they could be oval unless they...- BrightDarkEyes
