    Reaming a Meerschaum

    Reaming a meerschaum should be done the way world super powers make war the way porcupines make love: very carefully

    Favorite “Plain” Tobacco

    It sounds like you're looking for blends that are two things: Untopped One or two varietals, no condimental leaves. I think HB, OJK, Pegasus etc are near but may be even too complex. I think you'll get a lot of straight VA's suggested as well that will hit these two requirements. Five...

    Any Tea Drinkers?

    I am a big fan of tea -- chinese black teas like Keemun or golden monkey are my favorites. Enjoy robust breakfast teas and assam. Always have a green on hand as well, sencha.

    Recommended Glue Brand?

    For pipes I have no idea though I like to glue my own leaves together to make a plug. Elmer’s is fine

    That much tobacco you could have done two boxes and sent them opposite directions through the route. Make someone half the thief!

    Straight Virginia's

    And anyways nearly all VA’s have some small percentage of air-cured to balance out the PH, so they’re not really entirely straight. Say it’s the Kinsey-Virginia scale.

    Any Advice on Quitting Cigarettes?

    The simplest way is to get more addicted to something more expensive! I’m only kidding. I think a lot of posts here are highlighting good qualities for any challenging personal change: persistence and self-forgiveness.

    Straight Virginia's

    While I think you’re getting good technical advice, I think the amazing thing about pipe tobacco is how wide the flavor experiences on offer vary. I get a lot of enjoyment out of a very light and mellow tea-like Virginia and I get a lot of enjoyment out of something punchy with lots of Latakia...

    Tim West Meerchaum Stem Repair

    I had my own headache with Briarville and their idiot work shortly before your saga, Hoosier. If I had known, I would have warned you!

    What are You Reading Now?

    April reads and a recently acquired Smith-Corona. For better legibility Highly recommend Wittgenstein’s Mistress. The experimental yet simplistic novel (though neither quality is ever cloying) follows the thoughts of a woman that seems to be the last person in the world. No reason is given...

    Disappointed with EMP

    I was underwhelmed when I first tried EMP by some acrid flavor. When I slowed down and more importantly got out of the wind inside, I enjoyed it more.
