    I think you won't regret. Let me know how far off my analysis is when you do :)

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    I had to think for a while to answer your question, @AroEnglish . I never got much from reading blend reviews and I certainly cannot write one. But here it goes: Think of the blend fresh and remove all grassy tones (not that there are much, if any, to start with in this blend). Then, increase...

    Dunhill Navy Rolls from 2009: I counted 27 coins, but may have missed one or two. Difficult to tell without taking them all out. I just fold and stuff, and it takes 2 1/2 or 3 coins per smoke in medium sized pipes.

    Ennerdale Flake

    Well, Ennerdale was something special, alright. But, for my tastes, it is now a much lesser blend than it was, at least the last time I smoked it, in pre-pandemic times. I didn't know what had happened until I joined this forum and read about the changes at GH&Co. At that same time I noticed...

    Arango Pipe Spray Substitute?

    I don't know, the can doesn't list its composition. It is flammable. Leaves the pipes very clean with a fresh and pleasant smell.

    Arango Pipe Spray Substitute?

    Remember it? When it was discontinued I bought every can I could find. But I'm now down to the last two cans and just opened one of them. Do you know of anything similar to it? I would like to find a replacement as close as possible. Thanks.

    Amateur Astronomy and the Pipe Smoker

    Well, I did try the hobby a couple of years ago, but never got much into it. Here is my original purchase: I upgraded it a bit since then, mostly Baader filters and oculars and a new focuser, but never got too exited about it. Now it mostly resides in the basement, together with a pile of...

    No, I don't think so. At least I've never noticed that. As Sigmund suggested, how fast you puff is the answer to how hot it gets.

    Hunting scope for 30-06

    So far the OP has been absent and didn't tell us what he needs the scope for. Assuming it's hunting (30-06 after all), is he hunting in the woods with a line of sight of perhaps 50 or 100 yards maximum, or is he in Arizona shooting goats at 400 or 500 yards? Also, how much does he want to spend...

    Show Us Your Radice Pipes

    I'm not sure how short you're talking, bersekero. If you're talking about the smaller pipe in my pic, the bottom pipe, the answer is no. It's just a smaller capacity bowl: shorter smokes, but everything else remains equal. If you're talking about the chubby pipes that Radice and others make...

    That's a cross grain, quite different from the other four :)

    Show Us Your Radice Pipes

    I'm somewhat partial to the Clear line of Radice pipes. Here are some of mine: The third and fourth from the top are G. Have a couple of GG, but I find those to be too big and don't smoke them anymore.

    Hunting scope for 30-06

    What do you want the scope for? Hunting? Range? What's your budget? Remember, there's a scope for every budget, and you get what you pay for.

    Astleys No. 44 from 2006 or 2008, can't quite make the last digit written at the bottom of the tin.

    Is it Me, or Is it the Tobacco?

    I certainly agree with you, Searock Fan. The new BS is quite different from the old. Fusilier Slices also were a disappointment. To me they taste a bit like they did the sauce right (more or less), but the tobacco base is all wrong. It reminds me of Sutliff's Edgeworth Ready Rubbed match, where...

    Yes, a Sovereign XX from the old Bill Taylor time, before the brand went "bad."

    Just How Dry Should It Be?

    I never dry the tobacco, but I only smoke tinned blends. Well, almost, because some come in sealed bags, like Esoterica and GH. What I mean to say is that I only smoke tobacco packaged in sealed containers at the origin of manufacture. That's what works for me :)

    St James Flake from 2008. Very sparkly. One flake folded and stuffed into the bowl for immediate enjoyment.

    Wessex Burley Slice from 2005. The aroma is very smooth, not as sharp as that of a similar VA, but deeper, if you know what I mean. There are tannins, but in much lesser degree, and I think that's why the sharpness is reduced. No sparkling crystals, either. This style of European pressed...
