    PAD - Unfinished Italian Pot

    I have an unfinished Sav that turned a reddish brown with nice grain. Hadn't thought of waxing it. Your pipe will look great after a few smokes.

    I dipped Copenhagen for over 20 years as well. If you want to reminisce try Peterson Irish Flake.

    All I Am Wanting To Smoke Is Flake, Cake, And Plug Tobacco Anymore

    8 matches later...

    Don't worry to much about the number of relights. Sometimes I am "in the zone" and can smoke a bowl through without to many relights but usually other thing are going on and the number of relights goes way up. No big deal. Just try not to get the bowl to hot.

    That's the great thing about cellaring tobacco. Tastes change over time. The things you don't want right now may be all you want to smoke next year. Stock'um away and smoke'um all!

    Tracking A Tobacco Order

    I agree Puffy. I love to track anything I buy online. I'm almost as bad as a kid at Christmas (Oh no!! There's that dirty word again :crazy:...)watching my packages go from place to place. As far as Pipes and Cigars goes, I have made several orders and only had one problem. A couple of tins were...

    Review of Haunted Bookstore

    I tell you what I don't know if it's just the fact that I don't have much experience with perique or what but this blend makes my eyes water and my nose burn. I can't stop smoking it though. This is a blend I will have to buy more of.

    A tale of Two-1792 Flake and St. James Flake

    I love blending what I have just to see what happens. Recently added a rather large dose of lat to some C&D Haunted Bookshop and wow!! Don't know if it's good but I keep puffing. Glad you found something that works for you.
