    What Role Does Briar Play in Quality?

    Thank you for the edification, wcannoy-- my experience is solely from the use of burl as pertains to furniture use and the like. I did haggle for a piece of pink ivory burl one time, and I know it was 20+ years before I got my paws on it--and it still needed plenty of curing afterward. Do you...

    What Role Does Briar Play in Quality?

    @wcannoy--that is the best and most concise perspective on the issue yet, to my mind. To address the original post, Dunhill was a master of marketing hyperbole very early on in the game. To that end, oil-curing does have merit as a process, as does well-aged briar. To delve into the mechanics...

    Traveling Next Month - New Orleans

    Definitely stop by Payless and talk to Ed--they're one of the best mom & pops south of the Manson-Nixon line. He'll set you up with a pipe and great recommendations for what to fill it with. Shoot him an email before you go and set something up--info@paylesspipes. And +1 for the Tinderbox in...

    Pictures of Pipe Tobacco

    Thanks Lawrence! I've returned from the land of all work and no play. That's a tin of circa 1960 Cope's Escudo. The hand model was lestrout, photo credit goes to Patrick Grant. Opening this tin was quite a rush, and everyone agreed that it was a transcendental smoke. Even a confirmed aro smoker...

    What Are You Smoking? *February 2013*

    Finishing a tin of Frog Morton in a Medico cavalier. Two ounces of this sure don't last very long.

    How Many of You Smoke Indoors?

    After a couple years of heavy puffing inside, my office smells like the inside of a tobacco tin. This is not a bad thing, and the lady friend agrees.

    Estate Pipe Lot

    The Savinelli alone is worth the price of admission. I'd recommend a light wiping with some mink oil to keep it in good shape. Good score!

    Monday Night Fights: Orlik Golden Sliced vs Erinmore Flake

    +1 for OGS. Erinmore is nice, but just not as ready for a repeated smoke for me. OGS tins run from me because they know as soon as I open them they're done for.

    Great thread, misterlowercase--kudos! :clap: Wonderful to see all those tobacco porn pics from the vault. I'll add a sneak peek at one of my little side projects: the opening of a tin of circa 1960 Cope's Escudo at last summer's NY Pipe Club picnic. The hand model was lestrout, photo credit...

    New Box Pass Thread

    Delivered to Virginny! If you think about it, a large percentage of the tobacco in this box has traveled around the world, been manhandled by countless people, only to arrive re-apportioned in a bunch of plastic bags to the place of its origin. Brings a little tear to the eye, in a spawning...

    Anyone From Clearwater, FL

    Definitely check out Edward's, which was profiled by Kevin a few years ago. I'd also recommend MJM Fine Cigars; talk to Michael McCarthy and ask about his blends--I was quite fond of "Easy Times", a VA/Burley/Cavendish. There's also the Cigar Cave, which has a 'superstore of cigar lounges' feel...

    New Box Pass Thread

    Thanks for the assist, Jason. Serves me right for trying to join this "Digital Revolution"-- I can't even figure out how to see my pics. Stupid tricorder. My first pinch was some London Burley Blend--a favorite that I just happen to be out of. Reminds me why it's a favorite. Then a little of...

    What Are You Smoking? *January 2013*

    Peterson's Sunset Breeze in a Brigham bulldog; it takes me away to tropical nights that are sorely missed when it's this cold outside. Happy New Year to all :puffy:

    Need help finding Peterson Holiday blend

    I've been enjoying this the last few days, it's a superb blend--gumdrop sweet and nary a bite. Far surpassing last year's offering, but just shy of being favored over the 2010 holiday blend for me. I have a few extra tins and would be willing to trade anyone with an unopened 2010--shoot me a PM.
