    Packing a Pipe Well

    I had a lot of trouble with this starting out. I gravity fill every cut of tobacco except shag. Just pour or scoop the tobacco in and tap the side of the bowl until it settles. Repeat until to the rim. Lightly shove any overhanging tobacco in the bowl and smoke. The only exception with shag is...

    Peterson 2022 Christmas Pipe

    Bit on the 606 spigot. These are getting a lot of shade but I actually like the copper.

    Carolina Red Flake vs. Edisto

    I have some Edisto cellared but haven't tried any yet. The problem is that C&D' Small Batch Red Flake has varied a lot from release to release...Is there a particular year of Red Flake you're thinking of?

    Who is Gonna Get Whimsical on July 26???

    I haven't seen it on SP but my B&M had some so I figured I'd support them. Don't expect I'll actually crack the tin for quite awhile though.

    Anyone use Nasal Snuff?

    I'm good for a toot on occasion. I love Bernard's Schmalzler offerings. Lime Toast is my goto Toque blend.

    Unusual Pleasures

    This is probably mine. I have well over 100 double edge, single edge and straight razors in my collection. Add to that upwards of twenty brushes and soaps. I could very easily shave with a different combination of razor, blade, brush and soap every day for several years and not repeat the same...

    Recent TAD Pick-Ups

    A pound of HH Pure Virginia and a tin of C&D Anthology because I noticed they had released more with a 1 tin limit...it'll rest well with the other five tins I ordered previously. I'm currently away from home and I'm slowly amassing a giant pile of tobacco, pipes and accessories awaiting my...

    Ordo Fraternus Fumi

    I'm a Mason and a member of the Scottish Rite as well. I am also affiliated with Scouting as an adult leader. No fraternities for me. My University did not have a Greek system fortunately/unfortunately. My work makes maintaining affiliations difficult to say the least, but I do my best.

    Suggestions for a Sweet Virginia

    I've really been enjoying Newminster 400 lately. Its a straight Virginia on the sweeter side I'd say...plus its cheap and available in bulk. You can even get that on in one ounce increments from SP I believe. Think I have 3 pounds cellared and keep buying more.
