    Growing My Own?

    I'm dabbling with the idea of putting in some tobacco plants. I know that growing them will be no problem, it's what to do with them after they are grown (i.e. curing). I live in SW Idaho, USA which, contrary to popular opinion, is not cold and snowy year-round. It is a high desert climate so it...

    Spilled Water in My Brand New Cob!

    I too clean my pipes with water. And use it liberally on all the estate pipes I restore, running the pipe under the faucet while wet sanding etc. No problemo.

    My Saint Patrick's Day Pipe

    I should have mentioned that I also added the wax in successive coats. I don't really know the proper way to do a wax finish. Never had anyone show me and I haven't really looked into it. I just made up my own method using resources I have on hand. I also don't have a bench grinder, which is...

    My Saint Patrick's Day Pipe

    Thanks guys for the nice compliments! My wife included some tobacciana among her St.Patrick's Day decorations. Nice when the wife approves!

    My Saint Patrick's Day Pipe

    I'd love to have a green Peterson St. Patrick's Day pipe but it is not in my budget right now, so I decided to take a crack at making a replica. Wasn't sure that I wanted to potentially sacrifice a Peterson in case it didn't come out well, so I elected to make a Dr. Graow Omega Saint Pat's Day...

    Cheers to the Irish!

    Here's to remembering Saint Patrick, letters written in Latin, people who have survived the brutality of slavery and persecution, dogged determination, fortitude and courage, forgiveness and compassion, Arthur Guinness and his family's contributions to humankind in the name of God, Oz Guinness...

    Turns out I'm a Bazillionaire!

    Bazillionaire or not, that is a nice looking collection you have there. I'm jealous.

    A Pound of Nightcap

    Yes to both. I paid $63 for the pound I just bought with free shipping. You selling?

    A Pound of Nightcap

    Oh yeah, I smoked it. It is definitely Nightcap. I'll very likely buy another pound next payday if there is any left. It is my wife's favorite so why not? What happened to you is just wrong. Thanks for the warning. I would have been T O'd.

    Tobacco Shops/Pubs in Ireland

    Wow and wow!! Thank you, guys. This is all great stuff. Especially as I start to plan out our itinerary. My wife's family is from Kinsale. Her uncle tells me we should spend time in Cork, Kinsale, Dingle, and visit the Cliffs of Moher. He said the same about Dublin as you said, Warren. I think...

    Resealing Used Tins

    Welcome to the forum Charatansonly. Thanks for the tip! 64alex: Great idea too. The zip ties would probably be very tight.

    What Started the Obsession?

    When I was a little kid I had an uncle (Uncle Shorty) who was a short, bald, jolly guy who was always happy, had a plump wife, a great sense of humor, and a pipe in his mouth, always. His little house in Northern Michigan smelled wonderfully of pipe smoke so I aways associated that smell with a...

    Tobacco Shops/Pubs in Ireland

    Hey Folks. I am in the very preliminary stages of planning a trip to Ireland next year for my and me for our 25 year wedding anniversary. Most of the trip will be in SW Ireland although we will fly in or out of Dublin. Are any of you from Ireland? Does anyone have experience there? I saw this...

    Tobacco Suggestions for a Beginner

    I would second Nightcap or another similar English blend. I feel like I wasted a lot of time smoking aromatics and when I tasted my first English blend I was totally blown away. My wife's first smoke on the other hand hand was Nightcap and she loved it from the beginning. However, you cannot go...

    Resealing Used Tins

    Yeah. That is actually a Mason jar in there. Not the original one. Well, I think it is a "Ball", but same difference.
