What is HU Makhuwa Like?
Thats why I mentioned Nayla. Its got a LOT less topping than Makhuwa. The included cigar leaf is far in the background. It still has some cocao but it too is much more in the background than in Makhuwa. Its still quite different from more conventional burley blends like HH burley Flake but...- Sigmund

How Many Cutters And Lighters Do You Have?
Torch lighters are just waiting to scortch the edges of your bowl. I tried one for a short while. I was very careful but it won in the end and nailed one or two. It was slight and I removed the damage but the torches were religated to the drawer. Im still loving my Duponts. The feel and...- Sigmund

Tips on Cleaning This BBB Stem
Keep it out of liquids. Work with light abrasives. Its not bad at all. If you eat away at it with solutions you just make pits and need to sand deeper if you want it smooth. It seems like a short cut but its really a long cut and more material is lost to the pipe gods. Im not a pro pipe...- Sigmund

What is HU Makhuwa Like?
Im curious as well. Im not buying C&D in the EU but simply out of curiosity Id like to know. I also suggest folks try Nyala for a HU Burley. Yes, it has cigar leaf but its subtle. It has less additives than Makhuwa (though some say Mak doesnt have additives Im not so sure the chocolate flavor...- Sigmund

Filters; No Filters; and Resting
That is indeed true. They are filter pipes so I had to remove the filter. SInce I have used water on a few pipes but I make sure to just set them aside to dry. I have not tried a 9mm pipe with the stem reinserted. That may be a solution. Regardless one needs to keep in mind that a 9mm...- Sigmund

Update on the STG Closure Of Sutliff and Mac Baren

Anyone Play Video Games?

A Humidor, 27+ Years in Service.
It might have been a big investment at the time but you are continuing to hammer down its price to 10 bucks a year. It appears to be going strong!- Sigmund

Shipping Tobacco
It amazes me how many people think someone is looking. They have their hands full fighting actual illegal drugs. Ive never heard of anyone fined or arrested for shipping a few tins. Within borders there are no customs forms. This means someone had to go to the trouble of checking. Im not...- Sigmund

***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***
Its pretty nippy today. Its sunny and they say its going to warm up. I dont know if I believe them. Lighting up some Petes DNR in a Kia Dublin. This may become a dedicated pipe for this blend. Its the perfect size for one coin and an hour smoke. When I first tried this tin of DNR I would...- Sigmund
