    What is Your Opinion on the Taste of SG's Products Post Merger?

    So the answer is just less moisture, interesting. I'm tempted to wet a post merge jar and see if it will age like the pre merge. But if more moisture makes it age faster/differently, it should mean that the new stuff will eventually get to the same point, but it will just take longer? I think.

    Latakia Doesn't Age Well ... Or Does It?

    I prefer aged cyprian over fresh. It's smoother, more velvety and has less rough edges. Syrian is even more so.

    What is Your Opinion on the Taste of SG's Products Post Merger?

    Why is there such a drastic difference then? There have been multiple threads here over the last few years commenting on it, I have even personally made a thread about it a few years ago when my SJF turned up looking and tasting vastly different from the pre merge stuff. As others have already...

    Denmark - No Longer Allowed To Show Pictures Of Tobacco Products

    As title, Denmark is no longer allowed to show pictures of tobacco products. So browsing danish tobacco stores just became alot more boring, with danishpipeshop being one of the best examples. https://www.danishpipeshop.com/l/Tobacco

    Samuel Gawith Scrapped There Old Machinery?

    I like uniform slices, but I like my slices thicc. You can always make it finer yourself, making them thicker, not so much. 4:02? Drenched in olive oil? What!?

    Samuel Gawith Scrapped There Old Machinery?

    Most of us know that SG moved in with GH not long ago, but did they bring there old equipment with them? Watching this German reviewer open a brand new tin Navy Flake shows thinly sliced flakes that are not only thin, but also just damp and not soaking wet. I could see past FVF not being as...

    Forever Stems Are Back!

    This! I have had many cobs, some turn into a mooncrater type surface after just one bowl. But then you have those odd ones that stay silky smooth on the inside with no craters. Those realy deserve a proper stem. Just wish they made even longer ones, would love a 90° straight cobwarden.

    In Memory of Matches860

    Im both happy and sad, managed to scrape together the money needed for the pipe but they are all sold out. 17.200usd will be donated to Johns family. Money can never replace what was lost, but i hope it will help with something. Thanks to everyone who bought a pipe!

    In Memory of Matches860

    HH Rustica

    Could it be 7100 of the "first" tins? Since the blend is new? But then again, why the number 7100? So many questions, so few answers.

    HH Rustica

    I'm confused. The EU tins dont have this 7100 limited edition information? Maybe its hidden under the massive warning label? I have yet to recived mine so cant say for sure.

    Denmark, 30% Increase in Tobacco Prices

    And becouse of cigarettes they increase pipe and cigar prices aswell, like thats the issue. Why are they even in the same "tobacco" category? Most modern cigarettes are not even "tobacco" but a lab made cocktail of ammonia treated god knows what. Tabak aus Kiel=TAK=Motzek. Same company...

    Change In Grousemoor

    SG did merge with gawith and hoggarth back in 2015, but most of the complaints i seen started beginning of 2018 so not sure how much impact the merge had. Something else i have noticed is that non of my latest tins came "gawith wet" (borrowing StuffandThings moisture scale) but almost smoke...
