My Experience with Lbepen Deoxidizer [with pics]
Products which remove the sulphur deposits resulting from oxidation and leave unoxidized vulcanite unaffected will ultimately leave microscopic pits in the surface which were previously filled with sulphur. This is because at a microscopic level, oxidation does not happen evenly across the...- craiginthecorn

Cigar Storage
The cellophane wrappers aren't sealed, and are permeable so yes, the humidor's humidity will affect them, albeit a little more gradually. Good article here...- craiginthecorn

Hi from Scotland 🏴
It's a small space, but crammed with tobacco. This photo is missing a whole wall of tins and dozens of bulk jars. 30 minute walk from the main train station in Edinburgh and along a bus route.- craiginthecorn

Why did Screw Stems Fall From Favor?
Without having read the other reply, I'll say with some confidence that they fell out of favor because they were more difficult and, thus, more expensive to make. Plus, over time, the registration would change, so the degrees of rotation needed to seat the stem would change, throwing off the...- craiginthecorn

Why is Magnum Opus Just Magnum Now?
Yes. Clearly the new Magnum version won't be as good as the old Magnum Opus. 😉- craiginthecorn

Hi from Scotland 🏴
Are you located anywhere near Edinburgh? If so, you need to visit The Pipe Shop in Leith. Really knowledgeable staff and an unbelievable selection of tobacco, especially in bulk. The blends available in grocery stores don't really appeal to most new pipe smokers. Condor, in particular, is super...- craiginthecorn

By the way, the more system pipes I acquire, the more that I have come to prefer them over their non-system equivalents. Charles Peterson nailed it and it still amazing today.- craiginthecorn

Pipe "Break In"
If you freight train and are prone to burning out your pipes, than I'd say taking extra care to break in a pipe and build cake is useful. If I have a new pipe that's coated, I just go ahead and smoke it as normal. If not coated, I will use saliva and my finger to dampen the briar before smoking...- craiginthecorn

WTB Peterson Shackleton pipe
I have seen a new, full set in black sandblast finish at The Briar and the Burley in Bloomington, Indiana. It has been there for years and was still there this summer, when Tim Garrity and I met up with Nate King to deliver him a corrected Master of Pipes certificate. The blasts weren't great...- craiginthecorn

Boston Baked Beans And Brown Bread
Love the bread, especially. I prefer the type with raisins,. though. There's a TON of childhood nostalgia for me in a meal of Kraft's Dinner (Mac 'n' Cheese), B&M Baked Beans, and B&M Brown Bread. It was probably a weekly meal for us in the '60s and '70s. My older brother, after years of...- craiginthecorn
