    Burley Trouble.

    I know but all the ones that everyone recommends has burley in it. A lot of the codger blends have burley in them. Trying to avoiding burley is a pain in my patoote.

    Burley Trouble.

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Reule 9) - Bob I have been smoking for several years after a ten year hiatus. My big problem is that it seems that any blend with burley hits me hard. Leaves a gross taste in my mouth that lasts for days even with brushing my teeth and a strong...

    Velvet Pouch Dating?

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) - Bob I stumbled across a pouch of Velvet at a flea market. Is it possible to get an idea of how old it is before I pull the trigger? A little background on the seller. He has had in the past some amazing things. Early sixties still moist and...

    Dr. Grabow Pipes.

    That is why all my Dr. Grabows have vulcanite stems. They are all estate and old as dirt. Cheap too. Most that I have paid is $7. Have to clean and decake like a rabid woodchuck but they look alright now.

    Dr. Grabow Pipes.

    What is this plastic stem that everyone is talking about? All of mine have vulcanite stems. Discolored stems to prove it. The only pipe with fills that I have is a Titan with the screw on bowl. Maybe this problem is a newer pipe thing.

    Dr. Grabow Pipes.

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) - Bob I have an ever growing collection of Dr. grabow pipes. Why is are they cheap? Great smokers classic shapes and real workhorse pipe. Is it because they are everywhere you look? Not Danish looking? I am just wondering why.

    Information on an Old Blend.

    It has no indication of any Latakia, perique or any other spicy tobaccos. I could smoke it once everyday and enjoy it.

    Jazzing Up an Aged Tobacco

    I have a jar of McClellends perique well aged and dynamite dangerous. I cracked open the jar of Union Leader and it has an apple cider smell. I am tempted to add a vanilla bean to it. Maybe I will use it for codger street credit.

    Jazzing Up an Aged Tobacco

    Update! I had a bowl yesterday while putting up decorations. Had a little dry time. It improved a little but still not the best. Strange aftertaste and head spinning after the bowl. Nicotine buzz. Still not up to snuff. I do have some killer perique aging in a jar. Do Not smoke perique...

    Jazzing Up an Aged Tobacco

    First of all, l have a large tin of Union Leader that is from the middle of the sixties. It is a little boring for my tastes. So I had a weird thought of adding something to it. I had a bottle of honey whiskey in the cabinet. I found a jar lid small enough to fit inside the mason jar. Put...
