Dark Fired Kentucky Recommendations
Sorry to bump the "old" thread, I think it's still relevant. Are you talking about the "Kentucky Fire Cured VA 309" on the wholeleaftobacco .com website? I'm looking for the bbq flavor. I was just concerned that is says "VA", meaning Virginia? I thought most fired Kentucky was burley? Also...- Osirus

Found a Nice Case
Well it's been about 2 weeks since I found the "nice case" and while it's great, my ambition has outpaced my resources and it will become the "nice case for the nice stuff" as my lack of self control and the ease of clicking "add to cart/checkout" has reared its' ugly head. I keep telling...- Osirus

Howdy from Oklahoma
Hello from Nebraska. Similar here, I think pipe smoking is a solitary activity for many. But it would be nice to see people in person and discuss pipes/brands/tobaccos etc. with people who have a clue about them- Osirus

Hello from Pennsylvania
Greetings from Nebraska! I've been trying as much as I can as well, haven't done Molto Doce (heard it's great or you hate it) but the Sutliff Creme Brulee is supposed to be a very close bulk for a bit less (same parent company).- Osirus

Menthol Cigarettes Banned By FDA. Can Pipe Tobacco Be Next?
Yes that was quite surprising! There were several stories of young people (18, 20 years old) who were cigarette smokers that woke up one day and were unable to buy cigarettes even though they had been for a year or more. As for the RYO, I started not long ago to save costs (the cost savings...- Osirus

Ordering for a Cellar Blindly
With the current world issues, I don't think it's a bad idea to get what you can now. It sure seems like they're coming down harder on tobacco. In the US, they're already moving to ban menthol and flavored cigarettes/cigars, and tobacco could be close behind once they realize they've...- Osirus

Cork in ashtray
I used a large cork for a flask that I had. Going to glue small neodynium magnets on the bottom of the cork (it has a metal-ish "top") and the ashtray. I didn't want to spend $5 or more on a cork as a rookie. That's like 2 oz of bulk tobacco to try!- Osirus

Better pick up some military grade "mason jars" for that mancave!- Osirus

Found a Nice Case
That works! I have a larger "nice box" under my couch with my spare mason jars and the extra tobacco. My hoarding tendencies pay off sometimes, because I usually save all my boxes and packing from orders. I'm the guy that sees stuff at the dumpster and says "That's a nice box! How could...- Osirus

Greetings from the Midwestern US
Yes, the older I get, the less I crave a big city and the more I crave open space and nature! Here in Nebraska, there are some good spots just on the outskirts of towns that I'd like to call my own someday! Usually pretty decent people as well (never lived in a really big city so I can only...- Osirus

Found a Nice Case
Hmmyes, I anticipate it will soon become just the "pipe case". I could fit a good 20+ pipes in there. So I'm thinking the conversion will take place it about 3, maybe 4...weeks at this rate!- Osirus

Bottom of the Bowl Filters?
I got some of these screens in my starter kit, and I like them. They're easy to insert/remove (as long as the size matches the bowl, different sizes are available and they're pretty easy to bend into shape as well). They make the bowl a bit smaller. I think they're ideal if you want to use a...- Osirus

Greetings from the Midwestern US
Seems introductions are encouraged here, so I'll give it a go. Got tired of paying $6 per pack/$60 per carton of cigarettes (which is actually pretty cheap compared to some areas of the US). Picked up a Mikromatic rolling machine, some tubes, and tobacco. After the initial investment, my cost...- Osirus

Found a Nice Case
Was looking to upgrade from my old Nike shoebox with my expanding starter collection. Saw a nice chest at Hobby Lobby, 50% off (Hobby Lobby rotates their sales, everything goes 50% off every few weeks- never pay the full price!) was still $35... that's a decent amount of tobacco... So I went...- Osirus

Hello From N.W. Arkansas
Hello from the Midwest US! Jealous of your patio. We have one that needs some work, but I'd love to have a dedicated "outdoor" space. Until then, the fan in the window works pretty well- Osirus

What About Pipes Do You
I've smoked cigs for about the same amount of time. I cannot recall them ever really "tasting" good. I switched to roll your own (which saves about 75% of the cost) and use better tobacco that smells good, but it still tastes bleh. Especially after tasting pipe tobacco. That's why I'm...- Osirus

What About Pipes Do You
I really hope so! I've spent more time than I'd like analyzing the best, most economical, and most aesthetic way to label my mason jars most recently! Painter's tape with a sharpie works just fine on the other hand!- Osirus

What About Pipes Do You
I find it interesting that while still relatively new to pipes, I've spent far more time on the "hobby" side than the actual smoking! There's a lot to learn and lots of information!- Osirus
