    Identification Help

    It says "Schulte's Rare Edition". I'm not sure if it's the same Schulte's as this Pipedia entry, which, by the way, is probably the worst Pipedia entry I've ever seen... https://pipedia.org/wiki/Schulte

    How Biased Are Pipe Tobacco Reviews

    Reviews are like data points. If fifty reviewers say it's sweet and bites, it's probably sweet and bites. Individual reviews are meaningless except for motives of aesthetics of prose.

    Best Way To Clean Up Rim Darkening?

    I was surprised to discover that you can buy it off Amazon and from other lab supply companies. I got mine from the lab I work at. This stuff will melt plastic and has a very strong smell, so it must be used in a well-ventilated area. Treat it with the same caution you'd give concentrated...

    Best Way To Clean Up Rim Darkening?

    I cleaned the rim of this burnt-out pipe with glacial acetic acid (ultra-concentrated vinegar) on the left, and with alcohol on the right. The acid melted away the carbon deposits while leaving the briar underneath unaffected. The dark ring in the bowl is burn out.

    Ken Byron Video Interview from August, 2023

    People who know him back when he was on Reddit and Facebook, under the aliases "Fuzzy Totemz" and "Fuzzy," and, in the latter, using his real name, know that Ken Byron is a pseudonym. He is a charming and intelligent guy, especially when projecting to the larger public. Let's just say that...

    Best Way To Clean Up Rim Darkening?

    I don't have the photos on hand but I discovered a very efficient method of removing rim carbon deposits using strong organic acid. Will post photos later.

    Your Own "Worst" Tobacco

    Honorable mention goes to two: Charles Fairmorn's Sundowner Mixture Uptown's Smoke Shop Culloden's Harvest They were so bad that they expanded my horizons in terms of a new bottom to which a tobacco can descend.

    Same seller as the Dunhill. Anyone know anything about this person? They seem to have quite the collection.

    Calling all Rabbit Experts

    In case anyone's interested, this turned out to be a real National Geographic moment. This little falcon pounced on an unsuspecting bunny that was lounging in the grass. I had the binoculars on hand and caught the whole thing ... the little paws trying to fight back against the talons. It was...

    Estervals and UPS

    I posted about this elsewhere on this forum. Pay the "ransom" with PayPal and then dispute the charges. This is a brokerage fee scam that UPS has going on.

    Calling all Rabbit Experts

    Here's another disadvantage of having a yard full of rabbits. They're crawling with these things, which inevitably find their way onto us while we do garden work. This one was on my leg during the morning commute. The wife found one on her the other day too.

    Calling all Rabbit Experts

    I wonder if rabbits have a reproductive system like squirrels do, which is a typical rodent "string of pearls" configuration. The little squirrel (and mouse) embryos stretch out the uterus into a long string of developing pup lumps. With rabbit mating season in full swing and lots of drive-by...

    Rehydrating OLD Cigars

    I have some cigars from the 1950s in my humidor. Sure they were dry when I found them but I'm still going to give one a try. I have a bone dry jar of Partagas Picadura, the Cuban pipe tobacco, and it tastes just fine.

    FVF change?

    I smoke all three of those blends and have to agree with condorlover above. I think the quality of the leaf has gone to sh*t.

    FVF change?

    I don't like the current production. Something changed around 2015-17, or thereabouts.
