    Jar Lid Pop

    That sounds perfectly normal. I wouldn’t worry about it.

    How Long do Lakeland Toppings Last When Cellared?

    I understand what you mean. Much of the content of my political science coursework made the same point. Still, there have been times when the masses were more free than is commonly understood. To say freedom is an illusion plays into the current political trends. If people have always and...

    How Long do Lakeland Toppings Last When Cellared?

    That might work with Cornell & Diehl tins, but the round and square tins’ seals are not up to the task. It is an intriguing idea, though. That is basically what those of using oxygen absorbers are trying to accomplish. I suspect the impact on prices would be more than what many smokers, even...

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***

    This has been finals week, meaning my time at the computer has been dominated by grading and writing test questions. The upside has been overall less need to get to my school as early as usual. Every day this week I have been able to sneak a short walk and smoke on a walking path on my way to...

    Cellaring in Mylar: Remove or Leave in Original Packaging?

    Reselling is not the goal, so sealing smaller amounts in Mylar bags sounds like the best way for my purpose. Thanks, all!

    I labeled my most recent jars: Dark Flake Scented?

    Cellaring in Mylar: Remove or Leave in Original Packaging?

    Like other folks here are probably doing, I have been buying some 16oz. factory bags of Sutliff tobacco. I am going to be sealing much of it in Mylar, but I am not sure whether I should first remove it from the factory-sealed bags, or put the factory bag inside the Mylar. I did search the...

    Nestle to Buy STG

    Around 2000, I saw a fellow in southern Missouri smoking Always Save brand cigarettes, but those not-so-distant times are already long gone. Great Value Synthetic Opioid Sauce in a family size, easy squeeze bottle is more likely.

    Nestle to Buy STG

    Only one has a flavor I will remember.

    No. Can't.

    Of all the pipes to NOT come with a tamper. (Read that any way you like.)

    Jar Lid Pop

    Not to split hairs, but is it a “pop” or more like a short, sharp “twang”/“ping”? I do not worry about the sharp sounds. That seems to me like metal under pressure but with the flex at the center I would expect it to have.

    Please Help Me Find The Comprehensive Sasieni Shape Chart

    Well, that’s humbling. It was hiding in plain sight. I had stopped scrolling at the Norman Rockwell part.

    Please Help Me Find The Comprehensive Sasieni Shape Chart

    Yes! Exactly that. Thank you! Apparently my memory was fuzzy on the background. I also remembered it as something a collector had compiled.

    Please Help Me Find The Comprehensive Sasieni Shape Chart

    Years ago I had found a nearly exhaustive table of Sasieni shape names and corresponding numbers for all of the other common lines. I have not needed it again until now. Unfortunately, it seems to have disappeared from the internet. It was a simple spreadsheet format with no images. The...

    Jim's Low Country Carolina Christmas 2024 Review.

    They shouldn’t let him say “mulled;” it sounds too much like that other word. I’m trying to be nice rather than naughty, but I can only help myself so much. That said, I’m going to get a bit of this.

    Jim's Low Country Carolina Christmas 2024 Review.

    Creative blends like this give me hope for pipe smoking after Sutliff. I hope against hope that C&D might buy up Sutliff’s factory. Thanks for the thorough review and the bowl-size recommendation, @JimInks! Fortunately, small bowls with wide chambers are well-represented in my stable.

    Intolerance to Most Tobaccos

    As a red-blooded ‘Murican I insist on .45 filters.

    Intolerance to Most Tobaccos

    Nording Keystones. Some people claim they are just cat litter, but that is not fair. I use them sometimes with blends that tend to clog an airway. They can make a big difference, especially in my Falcons.

    Intolerance to Most Tobaccos

    My brother-in-law smoked cigarettes and tried to take up pipe smoking. He never could get away from seeking the long drag and billowing smoke. As a result he suffered from the afflictions you describe. He also quickly burned out thick-walled cobs. You may have sensitivities to some blends...
