The Best of What's Left
@woodsroad The whole thread is based on a supposition that some of these blends will go away. Of course we dont know. Rather than to complain about the possiblity why not redirect our energy towards something that doesnt leave us powerless. Sure we can stock up half pissed off. Other than that...- Sigmund

The Best of What's Left
Yes, C&D...sometimes I wonder if they make a new blend every week. Im almost glad I cant easily source them here. It would be some serious work to wade through their offering. I agree with Cosmic...GLP does some amazing lat belnds. The Vapers I have tried didnt float my boat and only a...- Sigmund

Beginner: Corncob Pipe smell plastic-ish
Im all in favor of buying some stuff which is considered cheap junk. Heck, half the stuff on amazon france is ali express priced x4. If its a cheap junk pipe toss it. MM cobs are super cheap and you know what you are getting. If my pipe tasted like plastic I wouldnt smoke it. As for not...- Sigmund

Some Interesting Tobacco Industry Statistics
Im not a conspiracy theorist but I am still betting that "Industry growth" is twisted at best. Sure, maybe young guys are picking up the pipe for a while instead of vaping or whatever. Stating that it is growing can be true even if its increased from next to zero by .0001 percent. That is...- Sigmund

Room Heater
Its not the cheapest solution but the safest is probably a generator that runs in the open air providing electric power to where you need it.- Sigmund

They probably all make up a story about about getting bulk tobacco and mixing it in the back of the shop after hours.- Sigmund

Will Syrian Latakia Return?
I was talking about little hope for sanity in the middle east. Not for tobacco. I think we need to temper our prejudice.- Sigmund

Will Syrian Latakia Return?
No one puts in much hope but if we decide its ok to exercise prejudice are we really being any better? We can hope, watch and then react appropriately. If we decide and act in advance we are no better. A decision without information is not an analysis. If we want to be considered better we...- Sigmund

Will Syrian Latakia Return?
Come on john. At least give them a chance. Granted the level of hope is low but don’t condemn them until they totally screw up. That said, the holy book doesnt seem to stop them from making money off us infidels. Regardless, I doubt there is enough money to be bothered. Pipe smokers are few...- Sigmund

Churchwardens?
Those Ropps are a good deal and Ropp generally makes a better pipe than their cost. No, they dont use the most pretty briar but they are blasted anyway.- Sigmund

Room Heater
Butane should not smell. The room will need some ventalation I think. If you get anything that burns fuel you should get a secondary sensor in the room. They recommend it on the page so Im assuming it is an issue- Sigmund

The Best of What's Left
This is kind of a take off from @telescopes thread about surviving the shrinking world of pipe tobacco. Lets talk about something more proactive. What is the good stuff that remains? Once STG wrecks the line what will you turn to? There are still good blends and makers. We know the bad...- Sigmund

Thriving in the Upcoming Tobacco Apocalypse
I have read a little and Im not sure I want to tackle growing and curing. I imagine the results would be meh. Im pretty picky about what I smoke. Im probably just better off continuing to make regular purchases and stock up. If I cant enjoy what I smoke I will just quit. Of course its sad...- Sigmund

Thriving in the Upcoming Tobacco Apocalypse
I buy when I can get it and cross my fingers. There is no way I can accumulate tobacco on the scale of US buyers. Those quantities would be noticed and absurdly expensive. I smoke two to three small bowls a day. I may try growing sometime but in France snails will eat everything…do snails...- Sigmund
