    How do Pipe Makers Obtain Outrageously Good Finshes?

    If anyone has mastered the smooth finish it’s Micah Cryder (Yeti Pipes). They’re almost too perfect. You could use them as a mirror to trim a mustache.

    Marlin Flake

    If you do order some, tack on some Old Gowrie as well. It’s an absolute can’t miss classic.

    Storing Massive Plug of Tobacco

    It happens when there is a thoroughly disorganized apocalyptic amount of tobacco squirreled away in every corner of your home 🤷‍♂️

    Storing Massive Plug of Tobacco

    Chop, slice, etc. I did both, some in big chunks, some sliced into coins to see if there is any difference after some age. You know, for science 😂 Now that I mention it, it’s been almost 5 years. Maybe should oughta might see what they’re up to 🤔

    They do. I may be in the minority here but I actually like Flavia’s more often.

    Why is it Named an Author Shape?

    Hell if I know. Sounds pipey 🤷‍♂️

    Changes in Wessex Blends (seeking info)

    So I’ve read a lot (particularly in @JimInks revised reviews) about recent changes to many of the Wessex blends. I am curious, does anyone know (even roughly) when these changes occured? I recently came in possession of a tin each of Wessex Red VA Flake, Brown VA Flake, and Gold VA Flake, all...

    Help Identifying Victors Hand Made Pipe

    I suspect that is from Jost’s in St. Louis. In searching it seems they sold some pipes branded Victors, and were known to have close ties to Comoy’s. The shape very much resembles a shape Comoy’s made:

    A Closer Look at Briar Grain

    Tommy’s Burger Stop in Anchorage. Best burgers in town. Gwin’s ain’t bad at all. Like you said though, being beat down from chasing fish definitely has an impact, hahaha.

    SPC Price Points

    Say what you will about the prices, but Hogshead is one of the best new releases in years. I happily paid for 5 more tins of it after bowl number 1, which for me is an extraordinary amount of a single tobacco. For me, yes, it really is good enough for the price. Esoterica/Gawith etc...

    New Year Resolutions?

    I saw a post recently that resonated with me: “I’m not making any resolutions this year. I think it’s about time the years start bettering themselves instead of me.”
