    Tobacco Reviews Website Update

    Somebody should write a 3rd party plug-in tool that reads the TR data but presents it in a sortable manner. Newest, Oldest, Highest Rated, etc.

    Tobacco Reviews Website Update

    I was on the site last night trying to sort the reviews of Peterson Flake to show latest first and there was no sorting option at all. Why take away functionality? Who is running this?

    Illegal To Ship Tobacco To Maine

    I agree with the suggestion to rent a mailbox in a neighboring state and drive to pick it up. You could limit it to just 3 or 4 times a year since you want to be over the free shipping number anyway--so these would be large orders.

    HH Vintage Syrian - Smoke, Cellar, or sell?

    How old is it? The blend changed to my taste around 2015-2016. I suspect they began to mix some Cyprian with the Syrian at that point to keep it in production as long as possible. After loving the blend from 2008/2009 on I then tried a newer tin around 2015 and was disappointed.

    Premium Cigar Industry Wins Case Against FDA

    Back on topic--what is the status of the new pipe blends that came out after the deeming cutoff year? It seems there is no issue with manufacturers releasing new blends. Would appreciate any info people in the industry may have.

    Premium Cigar Industry Wins Case Against FDA

    I don't know what this may mean for pipe tobacco but the premium hand rolled cigar industry has won its case against the FDA. The deeming rules will no longer apply to premium hand rolled unflavored cigars. Does anyone know where the rules for pipe tobacco stand as of now? Link to article...

    Stereotypical Pipe Smell?

    To me the closest I've come to experiencing that old fashioned sweet pipe smell from a room note (or sidestream smoke) is Amphora Full Aroma. Grab yourself a pouch in your next order. It's good and it's cheap! More like a semi-aro. Lots of natural flavor underneath. Virgina, Burley and a touch...

    Smoking Pipes Dwindling New And Estate pipes

    It is great for the hobby that the estate market is healthy. I do miss the days of old made in Denmark "new-old-stock" Stanwell's being easy to find. Half my collection is finding stuff like that. I understand those prices have gone up considerably. Still, the speed with which stuff sells is...

    Reiner blend 71 - gone or rare?

    Looks like Watch City also has Solani Virginia Flake 633 too!

    New Cellar Idea?

    I use totes similar to these for my tins. When you open the tote you can smell tobacco, mostly from the square Sam Gawith tins, but also from the square older Dunhill Flake and Capstan tins. The round ones seem more intact.

    Reiner blend 71 - gone or rare?

    Send an email to Steve Monjure at Monjure International to ask when the next shippment will come to the US. I believe he is the importer.

    Movies with Pipe Smoking Scenes

    So who is going to see Oppenheimer? I hear Cillian Murphy smokes a pipe throughout the movie.

    How Do The New Parker Pipes Smoke?

    I wouldn't call them basket pipes. There is a recent line of sandblasted freehands now being sold by some of the Italian pipe retailers. The bowls look like Dunhill's work. The stems, however, are pre-formed and not hand cut to the level of Dunhill. Still, worth checking out if you like the look.

    Reiner blend 71 - gone or rare?

    18 euros is cheaper than the US price of $29. Of course shipping would have to paid though.

    Tin Bids Fun Peeping.

    $135 for a Smoker's Haven tin seems a bit ambitious.

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

    Sillems Councilor 1695 Flake is back in stock at SP. If you like or ever wanted to try Solani 633 this is the same or very very close. K&K made VaPer.

    A Visit to Patagonia Pipes Shop in Buenos Aires

    Great post. What are tin prices like in Argentina? I see they have Cornel & Diehl. Cheers.

    Tobacco Flavoring for Smoking Products: Leffingwell, 1972

    Coumarin was the flavoring in original UK made Capstan. At some point it was banned and so you see a lot of "coumarin substitute" entries in these lists.

    Help Me Identify This Castello Shape Number

    Smoking Pipes. It popped up last week and I grabbed it right away. I was worried it might be too small but when it arrived it turned out to be perfect. I really am done with big pipes.
