    Cellaring In Original Packaging (Are They All Safe For The Long-haul?)

    This has been my experience. The old flat tins with heavy metal like the Dunhill tins from the England time period and Murray's era, etc, are fantastic regarding holding their seals for many decades. I have had very few flat tins of Esoterica blends go south. Ditto the old House of Sobranie...

    Any Formula 1 Fans?

    Way back in the day when I was a sports broadcaster for the Armed Forces Network in then "West" Germany, I covered the European/German Grand Prix at Nurburgring in 1973. Jackie Stewart won in '73 and retired at some point after that. For a country boy from Texas, it was one of the most...

    Thank you for the offer, Hoozz... and this is just another reason why I think you are one of the nicest guys I ever met despite what everyone else says. I am going to take your offer under consideration with thanks!

    Pipestud's Mystery Pipe - Help Please!

    I think that is very possible, SATX. I just took a photo from Blue Room Briars website of one of the nice Heinemann pipes that Jesse and Scott have for sale. And the logo looks like a slightly more refined version and has the year of make along with the HP logo. What do you guys think after...

    Pipestud's Mystery Pipe - Help Please!

    I can see where the way the verbiage was stated could confuse you, 3rdguy. I remain a little confused myself. Here's what Pipedia says: "Stamp: Handcut by Holger. Symbol: HP. And although grainy, here's the photo of the nomenclature Pipedia uses. I'm guessing the HP symbol might be what that is...

    Pipestud's Mystery Pipe - Help Please!

    No sir, this is not Frickert's nomenclature. And the letters are HP and not HF. Frickert has talent, no question about it!

    Pipestud's Mystery Pipe - Help Please!

    It certainly has a Heeschen look to it, but the stamp is an HP rather than PH, and doesn't look near old enough to be an early Heeschen.

    Pipestud's Mystery Pipe - Help Please!

    Howdy Ladies and Gents, I received a very nice Danish looking pipe as part of an estate dispersal for the widow of a deceased collector. She knows nothing about her late husband's pipes and can't identify the maker of this one. It is extremely well made and of high quality all the way. But, I...

    Howdy John and welcome! I live on a little piece dirt in Robinson, Texas (just a smidgen south of Waco).

    Aging Union Square

    Wow, I am surprised that the aging process, especially after 11-years has not increased the flavor immeasurably for you. Union Square is one of those tobaccos that I have found to age beautifully - and Greg Pease always uses leaf that is made to age well. It is a straight Virginia with high...

    Refilling Butane Lighters

    I don't think it matters one way or another how you fill a butane lighter. I don’t know about you, but every time a new pipe lighter hits the market I buy one. They all work great for about ten minutes, then the fuel tank starts to leak, the flame goes into hibernation, the striker and the...

    Awesome Birthday Present From My Wife

    Yes sir, you married really well, sitting bear! My now wife gifted me a pipe and some tobacco for Christmas while we were dating. I knew as soon as I opened the package that I'd marry that gal. The tobacco was terrible and the pipe smoked hotter than hell, but the fact that she gifted those two...

    The Good, the Favorite and the Everyday

    First of all, Barleycorn, if you have 30 pipes then you are most certainly a collector. My collecting motif is American hand made tanblasts. My categories are simply great smokers, good smokers, so-so smokers and how did I get suckered into to buying this one smokers.

    Most Bready or Hay-Like Full Virginias?

    I've never smoked hay or grass, so I don't know what either would taste like. Fresh Gawith Full Virginia Flake would come close to what I imagine those two vegetables would taste like. Fresh baked bread smells and tastes so good that if I ever found a tobacco that matched, I'd be all over it.
