    Burley Trouble.

    Not a fan of burley either, although I find it tolerable in the summer months when it's higher humidity outside and I'm generally better hydrated. But, I'm more sensitive to the PG - that sticky crap the cloys to the inside of your mouth like luke warm mutton stew. As per another thread, those...

    What's Your First Pipe Purchase of the New Year?

    On a trip to Pennsylvania in January I stopped in a Boswell's in Chambersburg. Wasn't planning on pipe purchase, but I couldn't resist: I suck at photos BTW. Shown getting loaded with some Dunbar. This pipe has exceeded all my expectations, and at first I was very hesitant to purchase a new...

    What's Your White Whale?

    There's one or two for each style (Va, VaPer, English, etc.), but here's a few that come to mind instantly: - Butera's Kingfisher - McClelland's Drama Reserve - Frog Morton On The Town

    Does Anyone Shred Their Tobacco?

    I formerly used SWMBO's grinder for McClelland flake a couple years ago; it worked great but the smoke had a funny aftertaste ;)

    Does Anyone Shred Their Tobacco?

    I prefer broken, slightly rubbed out flake for my smoking habits/method. Thin shag just burns way to fast and hot for me. I can suck down a bowl of shag in about 7 minutes.

    Drying Tobacco In a Humid Enviroment

    Awesome! I was being somehwat of a smartass though, so don't hold me to any unexpected results nana

    Drying Tobacco In a Humid Enviroment

    All really great answers, but what you really need to do is get yourself one of those old EZ Bake Ovens that use the dreaded 100W incandescent light bulbs. Be careful though, as some people have been known to hoard those bulbs, so you could develop Bulb Acquisition Disorder (BAD) if you're not...

    Tips For Hands Free Smoking

    I can get it great while driving on my work commute, often a bowl of rubbed or broken VA flake that will last me both ways (about 1.25 hour total). Great flavor, relaxing cadence, etc. At home, forget it. If I try to clench while doing anything but sitting on my ass, then I'm drooling...

    How Do You Enjoy Your Pipe?

    1 to 12 bowls a day. I have more pipes than I smoke, and find myself coming back to the same 4 or 5 pipes. How many bowls of any given blend depends on how much I put out to dry whilst my coffee is brewing in the morning. For example: This morning was an egg-sized wad of Cardiff, and I just...

    Substitute for Penzance?

    I smoke a bowl of Penzance once in a while when that itch sets in, but to be quite honest my favorite Balkan blend over the last 20-years has been Sam Gawith's Balkan Flake. Caveat: my ever dwindling Balkan Flake jar is from a bulk purchase almost 10 years ago, so I have no idea what, if any...

    Mason Jars - How Tight Do You Tighten The Ring?

    Nobody has given the blatantly obvious answer: 42 Nm. It's always 42, unless of course you're counting to 3 then the answer is 5. Timmy ?

    County in NY Seeks Smoking Ban in Private Homes

    Now we'll have to spell it Knew York, as in I knew it well but no longer. Hopefully they'll outlaw 32oz and larger soft drinks in private homes as well.

    Online Sales

    And it's implicitly assumed by the authors of these bills that the masses will follow these laws if/when enacted ?

    Online Sales

    At least we have a great network here to buy, sell, and trade. I'm also fortunate to have two great local B&Ms. Every time I save funds to purchase a large online order there's a local Esoterica drop that I can't refuse ?

    Isopropyl Alcohol vs Denatured Alcohol - Informational Only

    Denatured alcohol is essentially high proof ethanol (aka Everclear) with chemicals (bitterants) added to make it non-consumable (and hence not subject to the same taxes and regulations as consumable spirits). I would NOT use denatured alcohol to clean pipes, for concern that those bitterants...

    Anyone Use Gauzes?

    That's what my 5-year old never ending tin of SWR regular is for: guilt free dottle disposal. Just put a small pinch in the bottom of a big bowl and then load with the good stuff on top. Once you start to taste the burley funk, time to dump.

    Denmark, 30% Increase in Tobacco Prices

    I could never have imagined a day could come when tobacco and marijuana seemingly trade places in both public opinion and law. Strangely enough, I'm guessing that day will soon be upon us, if it hasn't already in many localities.
