    Leather Tobacco Pouch

    Attached are photos of a tobacco pouch I purchased a few years ago from a vendor on Etsy. It is a basic leather snap pouch with unfinished leather on the inside. I use ziplock snack bags to carry my tobacco in the pouch and it works very well. The pouch is tough and compact and has a nice bit of...

    Shipping Costs for Pipes

    Perhaps I misinterpreted the tenor of your post. For me personally, take tobacco for instance, if I'm ordering from a vendor that offers free shipping at a certain dollar amount spent, I may increase items to obtain the free shipping. If I'm buying a pipe, say it's a fairly common factory...

    Cornell & Diehl Sale

    Both blends have the same constituent tobaccos just in different proportions. I feel that OJK is the stronger of the two, with a more pronounced mouth feel, more nicotine and a bit more perique than HBS. I happen to enjoy both and keep plenty of both on hand.

    Shipping Costs for Pipes

    I think we we're all just trying to be helpful towards you. It appears to me that you've just suddenly had the epiphany that S/H and taxes factor into the purchase cost of a given item. For most of us, that has always been a factor. I have absolutely no idea what your "sweet spot" is for making...

    Shipping Costs for Pipes

    The sweet spot, that is, how much you're willing to pay for any item, can only be determined by you.

    Pipe Smoking Social Meaning…If There Is One

    Sort of off topic but funny to me. I once was travelling for business and had to overnight in a small town in Alabama. I was staying at one of the older Holiday Inns which had the attached lounge. I went into the lounge one evening to have a couple of cold ones and a cigar. The entire lounge was...

    Shipping Costs for Pipes

    I guess I'm just the opposite. I've never NOT noticed the additional fees incurred with tax + shipping. This is part of the total cost for the item. If I deem that the S/H costs are too much, I simply will not make the purchase and look elsewhere.

    Third Time Is Definitely Charms

    That stem is super cool! I'm glad you finally got the issue resolved.

    Pipe Smoking Social Meaning…If There Is One

    I do 99.5% of my smoking at home. It's largely a solitary past time as I actually do not know of another pipe smoker in my area. Having said that, the few times I do smoke in public have gone without incident. I try and be respectful to others around me but I could care less what others think in...

    Cornell & Diehl Sale

    Three solid choices. I would also add in a little Bayou Morning and some Pegasus.

    Forgeries and Other Mysteries

    Stay strong and of good courage friend John as you continue forth with your work. Spirit testing is a tough and demanding job but someone has to do it.:)

    Squadron Leader ???

    I don't often smoke English blends but when I do, this one is very pleasant. It falls into my medium English category. Well balanced and not too heavy on the Latakia. It burns well, has decent complexity and delivers a satisfying smoke. I recommend it.

    Jute Rope or Twine fibers inside my Sun Bear Tupelo?

    Agree with what has been said. Things happen. Just reach out to Jeremy Reeves and I feel confident that they will make it right by you. And like yourself, I would probably be hesitant in smoking tobacco from that tin.

    Missouri Meerschaum Cob - Blue Barcode Label?

    I personally have never seen that type label on a MM cob pipe.

    Too Much Rattle?

    Are you ready for some navy rolls? You can always open it up, smoke some and put the rest it in a jar while also putting your mind to rest.

    Aromatics for Tobacco Lovers

    I'll second the recommendation for Vanilla Roll Cake. While definitely an aromatic, it is tobacco forward. The vanilla topping is not heavy handed but more subdued. It tastes very natural and works with the smoke instead of overpowering it. It also lasts throughout the entire bowl and has a...

    Fall/Holiday Blends

    I really wanted to like Straus Sleepy Hollow and Sutliff Pumpkin Spice (which I hear may be the same thing). However, I personally found them repulsive, and it took a lot of work to exorcise the ghosts they left behind in the pipes I smoked them in. Granted, I'm not disparaging the blends, just...
