Hard To Find Tobacco's Equivalent or "Match"?
Ten Russians and Mystic Blend are both excellent. I actually really like Hermit's entire Captain Earle's line. If you like those, Stimulus Package, English Atmosphere and Diamond Head (which will be officially released around the time of the CPCC show, I think) are all worth checking out. Hadn't...- tedswearingen

Poker vs. Tankard
Tsuge and Peterson's Tankard shapes are a bit different than the standard Poker or even Cherrywoood shape. The bowl on a Poker usually turns to the shank at a right angle and into a straight stem (like a gavel). The shank on a Cherrywood will usually turn from a Poker-style bowl at an upright...- tedswearingen

How to dry tobacco? Shout out to tiltjlp
Dedicate some of your hobby time to experimenting with drying out tobacco. It's a pretty basic idea and a little imagination can go a long way. The only person that needs to be satisfied with the results is the smoker. The right way and the best way too dry out tobacco is fairly subjective.- tedswearingen

Would a Daring E-tailer Please Stand Up
Like I said, I think this is a cool idea. And I think it's awesome that pipe smokers would put their heads together to come up with this kind of stuff. Maybe something like this is more practical than we imagine? It's certainly not been dismissed without some thought over here and we certainly...- tedswearingen

Would a Daring E-tailer Please Stand Up
So an annual membership would cost $144 (appx.)? That could buy a lot of pipe tobacco upfront. Tobacco of your choice, rather than something picked out for you by a retailer. Mind you, that $144 pays for the tins and the shipping costs and doesn't include really any kind of meaningful profit...- tedswearingen

A Question About Vulcanite Stems
We use obsidian oil here at Smokingpipes.com. This stuff is great for preventive action. As far targeting oxidation that won't come out on the buffing wheel.... the vulcanite is spoiled deep. Soak the stem in Oxi Clean for 6 hours. It will bring all of the oxidization to the surface; then take...- tedswearingen

Pipes Are Drug Paraphernalia?
Pipes best for pot are very different than pipes best for tobacco. I don't think you have anything to fear from the police because of a briar made billiard.- tedswearingen

Question about Dunhill Nightcap
What with the amount we were able to get in our last shipment and at the rate that it's selling, I'm beginning to suspect that Nightcap, like the other Dunhill blends, will eventually be as easy to come by as the rest of what Orlik has to offer. However, that's not to see there's never a dry...- tedswearingen

Ever have a pipe hangover?
Perhaps you're suffering from a nicotine overdose. When I was a solid cigarette smoker (and younger) I'd experience the symptoms you described after a night out and two packs of Camels. As a pipe smoker, I smoke around a half-dozen bowls a day, but I imagine if I smoked way out of my league I'd...- tedswearingen

Wow! What an Emotional Day!
Kevin, I'm sorry to hear about your friend. But I'm glad I got to see you at the wedding this weekend. I'll second that it was the classiest wedding I've yet to attend.- tedswearingen

Hard To Find Tobacco's Equivalent or "Match"?
Presbyterian doesn't even have Latakia! Quiet Nights is an absolute dead ringer for Penzance (in my opinion). It might be a little sweeter. Also, it comes in a broken flake, rather unlike Penzance.- tedswearingen

Matches or lighter?
Depends on where I am. A lighter is handy if you're out and about. And believe me, once upon a time I was a 'matches' only kind of pipe smoker, even while traveling. I like matches at home or in the office, but it can be such a mess after awhile. I understand the appeal to stick with matches...- tedswearingen

What brings the flavor out?
Sound advice from Lawrence. Part of identifying the flavors we find in the smoke are born out of this 'relative' taste-sensory experience. Pairing flavors is a crucial part of the process to evolve one's palate, whether this be in regards to pipe tobacco and a beverage or coffee and a scone. I...- tedswearingen
