Wondered why 4noggins no longer stocks Sutliff and MacBaren blends. So many favorite blends gone. Can't believe it. :cry:- chopper

Farewell Sutliff Tobacco Company - Monday 3/4/25
Before I joined the World Wide Web and found pipe and tobacco forums, I seriously had little clue. It's a touch embarrassing to admit some of my practices, like smoking the one pipe day in day out [A Peterson Sherlock Holmes] It was a massive bowl so I was in the habit of just 'topping up' until...- chopper

RIP Weezell Has Passed Away After a Long Illness
Only just heard this through another thread. What a sad time for family and friends. Though it's not ever good-bye but rather, until we meet again. At least we know that at least someone will be organising plenty of meerschaum pipes and tobacco [I'm certain Daves taste in baccy will vastly...- chopper

Burping Jars?
That is correct. Burping is done as part of the drying and curing process to allow the cannabinoids to develop fully. The main purpose of burping [to my understanding] is to mainly allow the escape of any excess moisture. Tobacco on the other hand, needs to be at a suitable case [moisture...- chopper

Jiminks 3000th Tobacco Review!
When I first found online U.S. tobacconists, the vast range of blends left me a bit bewildered in a sea of choice. Fortunately members on pipe forums put me onto Tobacco Reviews where I found Jim Inks reviews most reliable and accurate. Apart from getting a good idea of what to expect from a...- chopper

Finding What you Really Like
I've not ever been a fan of goopy aromatics. Whenever I've bought blends that are too moist, rather than drying I do the same as you did with the Barbados Plantation, simply mix it with a much drier straight Virginia, Burley or an English blend. Since you're new to smoking a pipe, your mouth...- chopper

Maddness in Oz...
Yes and it shows the disingenuity of the Global Warming! . . . err I mean Climate Change! bozos and so-called environmentalists who completely ignore this issue in-particular. It is said that hemp could replace all petrochemical products [except gasoline IIRC] Hemp fiber is 4 x stronger than...- chopper

Maddness in Oz...
No, alcohol and cannabis are completely different in more ways than one. One drinks alcohol in excess to forget. Cannabis has the exact opposite where it throws in ones face whatever it is that one's attempting to hide. It tends to force one to confront ones issues. Cannabis has tremendous...- chopper

The Kindness of Ahi Ka
That is one nice Ropp. On ya Dave. Just keep in mind @SBC if you're a clencher; horn stems can have a weakness in the grain that can crack if clenched too hard. If you are a clencher, a rubber bit would be a good idea. Sorry to hear about your illness. A positive attitude is just as...- chopper

Granger by Lane
I rather like the codger Burley blends that I've tried like Carter Hall and Prince Albert. Granger on the other hand; it starts out real good. Then after half a bowl it turns bitter. Maybe I should try it in a small bowl and see what happens.- chopper

Kendal Cream Flake by Samuel Gawith
@condorlover1 a 20 pack of a budget brand is now $30. My tobacconist said that many brands like B&H are no longer made here in Oz. Certain American brands are imports [I'll have to remember to ask the price at my tobacconist. No doubt one pays a premium] When the indexed six monthly tax...- chopper

Kendal Cream Flake by Samuel Gawith
I've not tried any Lakeland blends. At high school nearly every pupil on the school bus smoked Marlboro. Not me [I smoked Peter Stuyvesant, Rothmans or Benson & Hedges]. Did not like Marlboro. If my memory serves correct, what made Marlboro different than most other brands was that it...- chopper

Recent TAD Pick-Ups
Since this is the best time of year to run the gauntlet so to speak, I've doubled up by also ordering to a mates address. Although he thinks that I'm being overly generous, I give him a quarter of every order that goes to his address. The way I see it is I have an extra 1.5lbs from each order...- chopper

Good to see that another living under a tobacco repressive regime has also been blessed by the tobacco gods. You've been accumulating a nice little stash that should keep you happy for some time. That Cringle Flake looks particularly inviting puffy- chopper
