    Lane Vanilla Black Cavendish match?

    Thanks for all the tips. Have tried the Sutliff and Stokkebye versions and found them lacking. Will try C&D Green River and Newminster.

    Lane Vanilla Black Cavendish match?

    I have enjoyed Lane Vanilla Black Cavendish for a while, but when I recently looked to restock it appears to be discontinued. Is there a good match for this tobacco? I tried the Lane BCA but found it to be not nearly as good as the old Lane Vanilla BC.

    New Zealand Proposed Ban On Purchase By Future Generations

    It was no coincidence that the temperance movement gained national prominence during the height of the Progressive Era in the US. Likewise, it was predominantly promoted by the Liberal Party in the UK (pre-Labour) and similar progressive political allies elsewhere on the continent. Finally, I...

    New Zealand Proposed Ban On Purchase By Future Generations

    While I pity the fools living under Jacinda Adern's rule in NZ, human behavior can only be controlled to a certain degree before the pendulum swings back. Progressives already tried this with alcohol, culminating in prohibition. Didn't turn out as well as they expected.

    Long Term Storage of Bulk Aromatics?

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) I wondered if anyone has had luck storing bulk aromatics in mylar bags long term? Did the taste change/diminish? Did you use oxygen absorbers? My sense is that aromatics don't necessarily age well over time unless kept in vacuum sealed tins and...

    Tongue Bite, Smoking Technique, and 9MM Activated Charcoal Filters

    I had a similar experience. Started off with unfiltered pipes, which was not a good experience for me. Then tried balsa filters, nording stones, filter crystals, etc; before settling on the 9mm charcoal filters which worked much better imo. I actually think they improved the taste in a number of...

    Pipe Nozzle Adapter for S.T. Dupont Ligne 1?

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) - Bob I have been looking for a pipe nozzle adapter for my ST Dupont Ligne 1 lighter. The few listed on eBay are for Ligne 2/Gatsby models only, and I was told by seller it would not fit the Ligne 1. Anyone knows where I can find one? Or maybe...

    American Airfields.

    I am European by birth, emigrated to the US and will hopefully obtain citizenship before 2020. If so, I fully intend to vote for President Trump. You may be surprised to know that is a common sentiment among quite a few of my fellow legal immigrants to this country.
