    Tobacco Globalism

    Since I lack Sables’s diplomacy and tact, I’ll be direct: GH isn’t being abrasive some of you are just morons and don’t deserve the respect you feel you so rightly deserve. It’s always the same handful that show up anytime GH gets mentioned that try to browbeat her into admitting they’re correct...

    Confused on Stanwell shape 27

    You might want to reach out to Bisgaard Pipes and see if they have any info. They’re known for finding vintage Stanwells and might be able to help you out with specifics on this one

    Confused on Stanwell shape 27

    Stanwell would use the same number for different pipe shapes. I don’t know the rhyme or reason as to why they did that, but if you scroll through the list Aro posted you’ll see that a large percentage of their shape numbers were applied to different shapes, which usually aren’t similar to each...

    Two More Alden’s for the Stable

    Those are both outstanding. The strawberry briar one in particular is a beauty

    On Stupidity

    My favorite quote of his from Propanda: “To the extent that propaganda is based on current news, it cannot permit time for thought or reflection. A man caught up in the news must remain on the surface of the event; he is carried along in the current, and can at no time take a respite to judge...

    On Stupidity

    Bonhoeffer is great - if you like his writings you may also like Jacques Ellul. The Political Illusion & Propaganda are two of his that are similar in theme to “On Stupidity”

    Blends With Latakia but Without Virginia or Burley

    Peretti’s Tashkent might be worth a try. I wouldn’t consider it a heavy English or Balkan and it’s just Latakia, Turkish, and Orientals

    Where, oh Where, is the St. James Flake?

    My local b&m just got a small shipment of SG blends - no SJF however. The owner said that means that the large shipment won’t be far behind. Keep an eye out for it and you should be able to find some soon

    Wish I Used Barbless Hooks

    I was fly fishing in BC throwing large streamers and there was a strong wind coming off my right shoulder (I’m right handed) and I spotted a fish about 50 feet away. Instead of throwing it back handed or off my left shoulder I thought I could duck in time for the fly to miss me. Instead I buried...

    G.L. Pease géométrie Review

    Wasn't impressed the first time I tried it. Let it breathe a bit and jarred it up for a month. Second smoke was incredible and by the third bowl I decided it was one to cellar deep. One of my favorites that is readily available

    Cobs with a Deeper Bend

    I had it made for me. Actually had two of them made. I’m not crafty at all but I am willing to pay people who are. This was the description from the guy who made it for me: Green Juma Cob Ezra Brookes Whiskey barrel stave shank with color matched accent ring, black buffalo horn endcap(...

    Sun Bear 2023 - Is This Happening?

    I have nothing to add to this conversation other than it reminds me of this song. Came out decades before I was born but still an all time favorite. Oh and I’ll definitely be snagging several tins

    Pipe Cleaners Without Protruding Metal Ends?

    I usually just bend the tip so it’s as straight as possible, and then try bend the pipe cleaner to match the bend of the stem as close as I can. Once it’s in the stem if you feel it stop, back it out and give it a twist and then try again. There’s usually a spot that once you rotate the cleaner...

    Boswell’s JMB Old School

    If you like Prince Albert I can't imagine you not liking this one. The room note is nice but it's definitely not a sweet aromatic.

    Rum Flake

    First time I tried it I didn’t think much of it and stashed it in a mason jar and forgot about it for a month. Second smoke was incredible and it’s been amazing ever since. Of of my favorites from G&H. Give it a rest for a bit and try it again

    Buying Pipe Tobacco in SoCal

    I’ve gone to some of our local parks when I want to read and smoke on a nice day. 99% of the time I just walk my community and smoke my pipe so that’s what I would recommend if it’s not against the rules. You might get some weird looks but that’s never bothered me
