    Infinity Jars

    Yes. It's labelled "Misc English" and it's in a large sample jar. The Teflon lined lid isn't the best at keeping all moisture in, but the contents are thus always at optimal smoking moisture. Thus, I do reach for it when I've forgotten to lay something else out. I'll occasionally seed it...

    What do the Symbols "LIKES" Mean to You in Our Threads?

    And I was about to say we needed the beating a dead horse smiley.

    Anyone Ever Use This “Hard Rubber Deoxidizer” On Your Stems?

    I'd want to review a SDS (Safety Data Sheet) prior to using it on something that goes in the mouth.

    Searching for Sweet

    I smoke a pipe primarily to satisfy my sweet tooth. That said, maybe it's my cadence or super sensitive taste buds, but 90% of the aromatics I've tried have tasted like a trash fire. That's why I've gravitated to well aged Virginia blends. That said, here's a few aromatics I've had that...

    Good Documentary/Movie Reccomendations

    This was really enjoyable, even the wife liked it. The first 6 albums are my statutory "putzing around in the garage" music.

    Favorite Esoterica Blends - Besides Penzance

    If I had to pick only two they'd be Brighton and Scarborough. Dunbar, Tilbury, and to a lesser extent Stonehaven round out as firm runner-ups.

    Clean/Restore Used Bourbon Barrel

    Clear coat it (poly or similar) and be done. Don't keep it outside, just my $0.02

    Chemical Burn From Chatham Manor

    I often have similar issues with many such blends - it's likely a combination of body chemistry, personal smoking habits, and the particulars of the blend. For instance, I really like the flavor and aroma of Lane's HGL, but I cannot smoke it because of the awful burned film it leaves in my mouth.

    Picked This Up Off Side Of The Road

    Just like a cast iron skillet - heat and use, no chemical cleaners. Flip meat when it releases easily instead of forcing it to flip

    A Good Oriental Forward Blend?

    McClelland's Grand Orientals were the benchmark of this style. I haven't found anything to compare since.

    Funny And Odd Sayings From Our Elders

    Can Tobacco Ever Be Too Dry?

    Some of my favorite Esoterica blends have a very optimal moisture level for best taste. Almost crunchy but with a little "stickiness" for lack of a better description. Too moist and they steam, too dry and there's some magic lost. These are the Virginia based blends, such as Brighton, Dunbar...

    Do You Have a Different Hobby?

    I've dabbled with vacuum tube electronics for 20+ years. I've modified and repaired a lot of guitar amps and built several guitar amps from scratch over the years. I suck at woodworking though, so all my scratch projects look like something you'd bury a small pet in.

    Anyone Else Not A Fan Of The P-Lip

    Behold.... circumcised Peterson.

    Anyone Else Not A Fan Of The P-Lip

    Exactly. That's why I spent about 2 minutes with the Dremel instead.

    Anyone Else Not A Fan Of The P-Lip

    If you like the pipe otherwise, you can always just turn the P-lip into a fishtail. I did that with my only Peterson and it was a great improvement (for me).

    8 oz or $750!

    Not a bad price for 8oz of homegrown, but no way for pipe tobacco of questionable condition.

    Fill in the Blanks - TAD/Instant Cellar

    That list scares my tongue! I'd pick up a few cases of Biotene. I second (or third) the recommendation for some Sam Gawith/Gawith Hoggarth flakes. Also pick up a few Rattrays, and you can't go wrong with many of the Dan Tobacco blends. Lastly, pick up a package of each Sir Walter Raleigh...
