    Hawaii Bans Online Tobacco Sales: SHTF Scenario

    There is no penalty for the seller or gifter, only the receiver. Hopefully this law gets amended.

    Missouri Meerschaum Shank Crack

    That might be for the cobbit series. The C&D shanks seemed standard. The standard lines use a lot softer plastic for the stem than acrylic, which is more pliable furthering my theory.

    Missouri Meerschaum Shank Crack

    I think the problem lies in the tenons fitting too tightly in the mortise. This weakens the shank, which then expands with heat and moisture. I could be wrong though. My emerald cob had a looser stem that fits nicely, and I’ve had no cracking. Both C&D stems fit very tightly.

    Hawaii Bans Online Tobacco Sales: SHTF Scenario

    It prohibits any shipment. I believe the wording is along the lines of, ‘if one knowingly has tobacco products shipped.’ Here is the bill SB975 HD2 - https://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/sessions/session2023/bills/SB975_HD2_.HTM

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2023?***

    Testing the limits and trying a blend of just burley red tips, Maryland 609, and Latakia. My first smoke after getting this pipe repaired.

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2023?***

    Smoking some straight Maryland 609 leaf that I got as a free sample. Smoking out of a Peterson 313 silver spigot. A nice mellow and creamy smoke!

    Missouri Meerschaum Shank Crack

    I’m gonna try throwing it against the wall and see if that fixes it.

    Missouri Meerschaum Shank Crack

    Right now it’s superficial but the same thing happened to my other cob and it eventually started to leak smoke and affect the draw.

    Missouri Meerschaum Shank Crack

    It has only happened to me in my C&D edition cobs. I’ve never encountered this in any other models.
