    Can Anyone Identify This Lighter?

    I inherited a lovely collection of pipes and some lighters from an uncle some years ago. I’ve attached a picture of one of the lighters. Neither it nor its case has a brand name displayed. Does anyone recognize it?

    Tell Me About John Aylesbury Luxury/Classic Flake

    *Sigh* I really loved that flake. I discovered it fairly late in its production and was surprised when it was discontinued.

    Tell Me About John Aylesbury Luxury/Classic Flake

    I managed to find a tin a week or so ago. Last one from smokingpipes.com! Is there anything that distinguishes it from other mild/medium Virginia flakes? Should I let this one age? I've heard it compares well to the erstwhile Klondike Gold.

    Best Way to Check Tobacco Pricing?

    I’ve been told forum members often use pipestud’s consignment webpage as a reliable price gauge. https://www.pipestud.com/

    Brown Flakes to Try.

    I smoked a tin of BB flake years ago and remember enjoying it, but I don't recall specifics. What is the general flavor profile of brown flakes (assuming they have a profile that stands out from other flake varieties)?

    What's Your Morning Smoke with Coffee and Why?

    I alternate between Carter Hall and Storm Front mixed with a little BCA.

    My, That's a Big Dottle You Have!

    I tend to wrestle with thicker flakes (FVF is a good example). Even when I manage to enjoy a longer smoke with few relights, I still usually leave a big dottle--so much so that I'm afraid I'm wasting tobacco. I'm not a particularly wet smoker, either. Perhaps I need to let the flakes dry more...

    Burley Trials

    I’m very tempted to try it myself, but the red Virginias would likely result (for me) in a bitey blend.

    Pipe Smoking and Mental Health

    Mental being is an enduring concerning of mine. I'm prone to acute anxiety, and I often struggle with bouts of ennui and seasonal depression. Exercise, sleep, and a reasonable diet are all fairly crucial in curbing these things. And while the family pediatrician is unlikely to recommend pipe...

    Pricing Tobacco to Sell.

    Apologies to readers and moderators if this is not the right place for this topic. I did not want to disrupt the sell/trade forum with queries from a novice seller. Please move or delete if this thread is inappropriate. I'll be putting up some tobacco for sale/trade soon, and I want to price...

    Unlabeled Mason Jar With Mystery Tobacco.

    Yep. Consistently shocks my tongue, as tasty as they are. And while this mystery flake may have some red, I’m fairly certain I purchased it in 2017, at which time I was beginning to steer away from reds.

    Unlabeled Mason Jar With Mystery Tobacco.

    I’ve returned to the pipe after a hiatus, and I came across an unlabelled mason jar with an unidentifiable flake. There’s no way to determine what this is. I’ve bought too many tins over the years and can’t recall everything I’ve sampled. Perhaps some of you might be able to identify some...

    Missouri Meerschaums vs. Everything Else

    I’ve been thinking about this. For decades, he smoked Cavendish blends almost exclusively. Dunhill A-21000 was his persistent favorite. And he rarely, if ever, cleaned his pipes. I have attempted to deep clean many of them, as they would often yield an ashy flavor. Perhaps they deserve another...

    Missouri Meerschaums vs. Everything Else

    Whenever I return from a smoking hiatus, I rediscover a few things about my preferences: 1. I love uncomplicated tobaccos. OTCs and OTC-inspired blends are enduring favorites. I like flakes, but sometimes find myself wrestling with packing and sustaining a lit bowl over time. 2. Red Virginias...
