    Unfulfilled Pipe Order (Walt Cannoy)

    Knew it. This happened to a friend of of mine and it took 7 months for a commission that was quoted as being 3-4 weeks. Emails ignored, no communication. Finally delivered the pipe after legal threats and the stem was wrong . He refused to fix it. This is 6 or 7th incident I’ve heard like...

    Yep, the fact that new pipes are being put out is BS

    Query on Aromatics Tasting or Smelling Bad

    Perhaps try ordering it next from a different vendor, if still smells bad then you’ll know for sure. I’m actually having a same experience with a lane product. My last order from p and c, the leaf smelled completely different like it had gone bad. I have a bit coming from SP so I’ll see what...

    Jim's C&D Palmetto Balkan Review.

    Ill add that after 3 briarfuls, the "Syrian latakia" component is just a whisper. This is an oriental blend supported by the reds mainly.

    Gone So Quickly

    If certain blends are out of stock for a good while, they go fast when they do finally come back. Is escudo the new Sam Gawith?

    Pfeifendepot Question

    Yes, they will label it with Tobacco as the contents, so will Estervals

    "Pocket Jar" - Tobacco Travel Container?

    I saw these...neat, but they just seem unnecessary. LIke Cosmic I use tins or a ziploc for the day. If I bought one I know it would eventually just wind up in a drawer gathering dust.

    Esoterica

    If you plan on smoking it in the next year, dont sweat it. Its a small percentage of bags that wind up with those, but it does happen. If you are keeping them for more than a few years just throw them in mylar and heat seal. Discount Mylar Bags - Wholesale Mylar Bags and Oxygen Absorbers -...

    Buyer Beware: Leftturnvintage On Ebay

    Yeah Faridunhill or something, hes occasionally had a pipe I wanted and I asked for some outdoor photos and he got upset and said “what’s wrong with my photos?!?” And I told they are literally terrible , way too dark to get a good read on them. He refuses to change . Pictures are everything on...

    Jim's Sutliff 2021 Cringle Flake Review.

    The trend has been a release at midnight, and SP has already stated that will be the case with them.

    Storing Ken Byron Blends

    Just fyi that’s redundant. Foodsaver bags are gas permeable and are rated for a couple years max. We use foil mylar as it’s rated for decades of storage. ??
