    80+ Tobacco Sampler; Help Develop My Palette

    If you want to make it more complicated, you should consider that blends can change over time, either the manufacturer changes, or the factory formulates it differently, or the growing conditions of the tobaccos are different, or the length of time and conditions of storage can change. Also, the...

    Folding And Stuffing Flakes

    In my experience, stuffing too much into the pipe makes it harder to stay lit. Try loading the pipe again, but this time use 25% less tobacco than you did the first time.

    School me on Nicotiana Persica

    Some interesting reading: Welcome to Encyclopaedia Iranica - https://iranicaonline.org/articles/tobacco a lot of stuff about tobacco in Iran Species - Modern Snuff - http://modernsnuff.com/species/index.html Indicates that it's grown by the Iranian Tobacco company and that they have a monopoly...

    School me on Nicotiana Persica

    I was looking at "London Bridge Is Falling Down", illustrated by Peter Spier, and there is an illustration of a tobacco shop (CA 18th century?) and there is a big jar marked "Nicotiana Persica" (along with jars marked Rappee, Java, Rustica, etc.) Wikipedia has an article on Nicotiana alata...

    Pipe Maker Jonni Adams on Radio Show of January 16, 2024

    Fun guest. Also nice to see a guest photo of someone with a big smile, instead of the grumpy-looking bearded guys all the time, ha ha.

    Rubbing Out Flakes.

    I heard mention of that video a while back and I couldn't find it either. I found Per's instruction on how to fold and stuff spun cut coins ( ), and it was so helpful to me that I really wanted to find the flake-specific video. I kind of think it may have been linked in the following blog...

    Just How Dry Should It Be?

    The first time I tried 3 nuns (ca. 2020), I opened the tin, smoked it and loved it. Unfortunately, I left it in the tin. A couple weeks later, it had dried and was far less enjoyable. The smoke seemed to be more acrid and harsh. Even after rehydrating it, the mojo was gone. So for me, drying out...

    Trouble Contacting Synjeco

    Trouble Contacting Synjeco

    Rachael, is the RB plug basically a recreation of Ogden's Redbreast? (not that I've had either, I'm just curious, and that's what I've flagged from the Internet.)

    Trouble Contacting Synjeco

    Similarly, I don't use fb, insta, or "x" myself, and I don't think this is going to be the thing to get me to do it.

    Trouble Contacting Synjeco

    Fair point. I'm trying to get some Samuel Gawith RB plug (among other items), which isn't readily available in the US. I'm reminded of the Velvet Underground song "Waiting for the Man". "First thing you learn is you always gotta wait."

    Trouble Contacting Synjeco

    Well, I sent in an order form through their site (August 28, 2 & a half weeks ago), and got an automated email confirmation back. But the order form mentions that I will need to call in in order give credit card details, and also that the shipping details. Their stated times that they are open...

    Trouble Contacting Synjeco

    I've been trying to call Synjeco in order to complete an order, but I can't seem to connect. I am wondering if it's something wrong on my end (maybe I'm making the international call incorrectly, or something). I tried to send an email, but didn't receive a response. Can anyone else confirm...

    On the Other Side Now

    I don't have any advice. My kids are under 3, and I only smoke after they've gone to bed. I don't want to influence them to become smokers, so I'm really not sure what I plan to do as they get older. As far as anti-smoking sentiment - well, my dad doesn't like smoking, so I just hide it from...

    Molto Dolce

    I tried some Molto Dolce, it tastes pleasant, for the most part. There is an aspect of it that reminds me of a vape. I'm not a fan of that part of it. I can only assume that this is PG, since PG is a major component of vape fluid. But thought I heard someone claim that PG imparts no flavor to...

    Hawaii Bans Online Tobacco Sales: SHTF Scenario

    I think he was referring to the large orders that people were making before the deadline, like MaukaMan's haul.

    Hawaii Bans Online Tobacco Sales: SHTF Scenario

    I don't think it does. The text says The "and" at the end of clause (1) implies that both (1) and (2) need to apply for an offense to have been committed.

    Shape Name for a Reverse-canted Bowl?

    Picked up a small Ropp Etudiant that was bent and straightened the stem. Trying it out now while standing up and looking at my work table. I like the way out looks, but yes it might be getting smoke in my eyes. I'll have to smoke it more and see how it goes.
