    Storing Tins

    I agree, and living in Florida there’s really not much chance of your tobacco drying out.

    When Yankee Cavalry Ran Out of Tobacco in 1865 in Western Service

    I read somewhere many years ago that the first cigarette was made by a Turkish soldier. The story said that he had his pipe shot out of his mouth so he rolled his tobacco up in one of his cartridge papers. I don’t know how true it is though. Also being a good southerner I am prone to believe...

    I would cellar more but I don’t know how my Captain Black would hold up flavor wise. Does anyone know?

    FDA Wants To Regulate Nicotine Levels

    What we need is another Boston Tea Party but I’m not willing to dump good tobacco in the harbor to make the point.

    Nicotine and Addiction

    For me, a long time nicotine addict cigarettes and dip effect me the same way. The initial nic hit and then I need another and another. With the pipe, it’s more of a long term fix. I can smoke a bowl in the morning and don’t need more all day. It’s like extended release medicine. But I...

    Real Leather Pipe Pouch?

    Roll ups or fold overs win hands down over zipper pouches. I have 4th generation roll ups and combo pouches and they work great.

    Fred Hanna on Radio Show of June 14, 2022

    Brian, I’ve really been enjoying your discussions with “the Fred’s “.I’ve been a pipe smoker for 40 plus years and I’ve been listening to your podcast since it started. I don’t always agree with what I hear on the show but I was so happy to hear on the latest episode that you and Fred Hanna...

    Too Good to Smoke - Pipe Quality v Tobacco Quality

    Pipes and Tobacco are of no use if not to be smoked. They simply must be smoked to have any value. You always hear about the engineering that goes in to the high end and artisan pipes. That is to make them smoke well. It’s not to make them look pretty or have some higher intrinsic value. If you...

    Savinelli Alligator Green (111 KS)

    I’ve got a Green 677 Alligator that someone gave me as a gift. It smoked great and is taking on a different look the more I smoke it. The smooth spots are turning brown under the green stain and it looks great. I tried to get a good pic showing the coloration but it really didn’t show up. I’ll...

    Tobacco management

    I’ve been smoking A pipe for 40 years and mostly aromatic tobacco. I use good quality roll up pouches and load as much as I can in them. I have never had a problem with the tobacco drying out. I don’t empty them back into a jar at the end of the day either. Get yourself I nice leather roll up...

    Hello From Virginia

    Welcome from Florida. I am originally from Virginia. If you are anywhere near the the Hampton Roads area I highly recommend Emerson’s. It was my favorite pipe shop until I moved 5 years ago.

    Regular Rotation?

    I too have a few favorites that I keep on hand and some others that I’ve tried and liked but might not buy again. There are so many blends out there that I couldn’t possibly keep everyone I like in any kind of rotation. I stick with my old reliables and venture into something new once in a while.
