    Handgun Red Dots

    To the OP: I assume you are comparing the Holosun 507c to the Trijicon RMR. The pros: the Trijicon is smaller, has a nicer shape, and I like the button layout better; the Holosun doesn't need to be removed to replace the battery. The cons: the Trijicon seats on a sealer plate that is supposed to...

    Humidity Disks

    The disks work fine for that purpose. When needed, I use 2 disks for 2 to 4 oz of tobacco. They work slowly, but slow is good. Put the tobacco in a jar or other container that you can close shut and place the disks on top. I like to use a little of tin foil just to prevent the disks from...

    The Draw?

    Just a few thoughts, based on my experience (with briar pipes only). The draft seems to be determined by the narrowest passage in the pipe. Sometimes it's the shank, sometimes the stem, sometimes both. The right part must be addressed to open the draw adequately. Similarly, pipes with filter may...

    Do You Prefer Briar, Meerschaum, or No Preference?

    I only smoke briar pipes. Tried other woods, but they're not for me because I didn't find them neutral enough. Tried other materials, including meerschaum, some synthetic, and metal, but those never worked for one reason or another. Never tried corn cobs.

    New Meerschaum-Send Back?

    Another vote for sending it back. Maybe, hopefully, it will encourage the manufacturer or seller to pay more attention to what they are shipping.

    Local Tobacco Shop

    I used to go a lot to my favorite pipe shop (Edwards, in Englewood, a suburb south of Denver). Always had a great time and it still is a very good shop. For many years I bought most, if not all, of my pipe tobacco there. Bought there many pipes, too, especially when they had shows. It is really...

    This is Relevant to My Interests!

    I like orange bitters in my Old Fashioned, but I'm going to give this one a try. Thanks for posting.

    ASP Cajun Half and Half

    I'm sure many here remember ASP's Cajun Half and Half. There were many derivations and I enjoyed smoking my own version. However, my blending tobaccos were McC Dark Star, X-40 (I think that was the burley, correct me if I'm wrong), and Perique from Freddy Vegas. It's been a few years since my...

    Tobacco Bison

    That is awesome. I wonder if that is a leaf wrapped over the figure of a buffalo?

    Pipe Stems Still Brown - Help!

    There are many threads about stem cleaning in the forums. Very useful information there. I've gotten a buffer for that and there's no going back.

    What are You Smoking (WAYS)- a Must Read?

    It is a very popular thread, but I don't read it. I'm sure it's a fun one for those who post there.

    Unfulfilled Pipe Order (Walt Cannoy)

    Oh, no. I hope it's not one of Walt's old stunts again. Good luck, OP.

    Greetings Pipers!

    Good to have you here, Cowboy.

    **CHALLENGE** Building a cellar of quality bulk tobaccos for $250.

    As many boxes of FVF and St. James Flake as the budget allows. In any combination that suits your liking.

    Cornell & Diehl, Captain Earle's Ten Russians Review

    Another fan of Ten Russians here. I'm really surprised it's not more popular amongst Latakia fans.

    Instant Favorites

    Oh, so many. The Wessex Brown Flake and F&T Vintage that some mentioned come to mind. The one that jumps out the most for me was GLP Renaissance.

    Should I Buy Aged Tobacco?

    Hi, Zeno. Good to see you here. I should have been clearer. When I spoke about aging, what I meant was the concept that aged tobacco tins are desirable, not the idea of storing tins for aging. When I joined the first pipe club (not a real pipe club, more like a bunch of guys that got together...
