    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2021?***

    Just finished this bowl in a Radice Rind G Liverpoo

    Swan Vestas.

    He has the last ones left. He said the distributor wasn’t going to reorder

    Swan Vestas.

    No. The Swan Vestas that were last imported by Mitchell Thomas(a smaller Memphis based Pipe and accessories distributor) bear the legend “conforms to ENI783:1997”. Apparently they are truly safety matches. I have to work at it to get one to stay lit long enough to get, say, a pot shape, lit, to...

    Ace is the place. They won’t ship them.

    P&C / PayPal

    Yeah, that has been my experience. Nothing ever left my bank account.

    P&C / PayPal

    Not just them. Happened to me with LL Bean around Christmas, then again with someone else I can’t recall right now. Seems to happen regulars with P&C, but it always disappears. Never been harmed by it.

    My First Castellos

    Well, no two Castellos are alike? If you aren’t looking at these sites, perhaps add them to your searches https://floppypipe.it/19_castello https://www.pipeshop-lanzola.it/en/333-castello https://casaropipe.com/pipe/castello/...

    My First Castellos

    Yes. Site sponsors Corti and Bollito often have them, as does Smoking Pipes. The bent shape 11 is considered a nose warmer. The 55 can be, as can the 33, but most of those I see now are made with longer shanks than they used to be. But you can still find ones short enough to be considered a...

    Revor Plug Discountinued

    As far as I can tell, Gawith isn’t in the business of paying out royalties to make tobacco. There is challenge enough in meeting demand for their own product line.

    Revor Plug Discountinued

    No. The box might also say “Dark Flake A”. Same for the Brown Flakes. Brown Flake Scented = Brown Flake Aromatic = Brown Flake A. Tobacco reviews might or might not list them separately, but they are the same. Packaging and labeling requirements in the U.K., EU and US have been a moving...

    My First Castellos

    Blush. When there is no tiger in the jungle, the monkey who jabbers loudest is king. Mike Glukler has made the pilgrimage to Cantu, as have others. @npod comes to mind. Mike Hagley, who used to post here before his account got trashed in the change over, has been to the factory, but he also...

    Revor Plug Discountinued

    Gawith does not now, nor has it ever, made Revor. Gawith Is the distributor. It is made by STG. When the Synjeco statement first surfaced a few months back, Gawith had, that very week, received a large shipment. At that time Chris Gawith had no knowledge that it was discontinued. The...

    My First Castellos

    Mike (Briar Blues) drew heavily on our mutual friend’s work. The article is worth searching for even though dated and flat incorrect in a very few places that aren’t that critical.

    My First Castellos

    As I said, I would have guessed the Old Antiquari would be a 4K because howl size just simply isn’t the only determinant for grade despite the fact that most of the time it is. The Sea Rock looks like it could be a 3k or 4k depending on what side of the bed Coppo got out of that morning...

    My First Castellos

    I only see one pipe, the Old Antiquari. Very nice. All I can say is that I would have guessed it would be stamped kkkk. Why? Because it is a nice pipe, it clearly wouldn’t be a G or GG, so tha grading reflects the value Franco Coppo thought was appropriate. The oft repeated statement that k...

    Gawith Tobacco Presses

    My understanding is that the Legg press (or presses, there could be more than one) they still use have only been modified so that the heat source is natural gas, not coal. Robert Legg of London was the name of the leading UK manufacturer that was the leading provider of equipment for the...

    Gawith Tobacco Presses

    Those aren’t the only presses in use at Gawith. They still use a real (you can see the manufacturers name) Legg steam jacket press, for example. Rachel Gawith has posted a picture of that press somewhere or other on social media very recently, and Chris Gawith says it is still in use. A...
