    Looking to age this box of velvet.

    A guess as to the age: There's no bar code on the outside of the box. Bar codes started being used in 1974. The coupon inside the box has an address with a zip code. Zip codes were introduced in 1963. I suspect that old box/pouch of Velvet came from within that 11 year span. It's fun finding...

    2024 Sutliff KrampusNacht. I'm pretty sure I buy it for the tin art rather than the Germanic traditions of my ancestors!

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    Pulled out this tin of Samuel Gawith Christmas Mixture 2007 from deep in the cellar. Some of the topping has faded a bit but the underlying tobaccos are terrific. I like to smoke my pipe in my garage - a man's home is his castle but his garage is his sanctuary! Afterwards the smell in the...

    Senlar Pipes

    Over the years I've picked up 3 Senlar pipes, a brand I rarely see mentioned. From pipedia.org: "Senlar - Pipes were made in Minnesota by pipe maker Wally Larsen who inverted his last name LAR SEN to come up with SEN LAR. The Saint Paul Pioneer Press nicknamed Larsen "The Great Dane Of The...

    Suggestions for Trip to Castello’s and Lake Como?

    I haven't used a travel agent in many, many years. When it comes to finding accommodations I'm a big fan of TripAdvisor.com. While it's basically people's opinions as to where to stay, if everyone raves about the place its rate to be disappointed. I've also found that booking directly with...

    Rlp-6 vs 7 Seas Regular

    RLP-6 is the bulk version of Captain Black Original (White) & to me smoke/taste the same. The bulk version may possibly have less propylene glycol than the pouch version. MacBaren Seven Seas Regular is similar to the Lane offerings but to me seems to be less topped/cased. It's still very good...
