Missouri Sales Tax on Online Purchases
I knew it was coming but for the first time today I had to pay sales tax on an online purchase of tobacco. I bought some tobacco from Pipes & Cigars and I was charged about 6.35% tax if my math is correct. It turns a 15% discount into about a 9% discount, or the discount covers the sales tax...- homesteader

Hearth & Home Louisiana Red
Lately my tastes have been going to Va-Pers so when I read the description of H & H Louisiana Red it sounded like something I'd enjoy. This came in a one pound bag manufactured by Sutliff. Fresh from the bag I got a little taste of vinegar so I jarred it and gave it a couple of weeks. I've...- homesteader

Looking for other Tangy / Tart / Sour / Vinegar tasting tobacco.
You might try Hearth & Home Louisiana Red (H & H is the brand but it's from Sutliff). It's a Virginia with some Perique. I get a distinct vinegar taste from the Virginia in it. I bought a pound from Pipes & Cigars and they had a bonus offer of a tobacco jar for $10.- homesteader

Sutliff Creme Brulee
I mixed up a small amount of Creme Brulee and RLP-6 in a 1:1 ratio. After a week or so it still tasted like the two tobaccos mixed together. After a month they had married and made a decent blend. Not sure it was good enough to make up a big batch, but it was okay. I think the RLP-6 toned...- homesteader

Current State of Deeming Regulations?
Lane Ltd. Ready Rubbed and all of the Cult blends except for Blood Red Moon have fallen to deeming. There may be others that I don't know of. While I don't smoke Captain Black Grape, I've noticed on their website and some ads and catalogs that it is not listed. The other Captain Black blends...- homesteader

Mason Jar Labels
It's like a pop bottle crate. They were sold by Michael's but my understanding is they have been discontinued. Too bad, they are very handy.- homesteader

Mason Jar Labels
For some jars I cut the logo off the pouch. For most I ether print on paper from Cellar Labels or make up my own. Sometimes I will just use a label maker with plain text. I don't glue the labels to the lids. I find they stay in place for the most part. I live in a dusty area so one thing...- homesteader

Skipper's Blend--SP Whiskey with Latakia
On the recommendation of a member here I recently tried Smoker's Pride Whiskey. It was pretty good but after trying Pirate Kake I've been on a Latakia kick lately. I was smoking the SP Whiskey and thought about how it would be mixed with Pirate Kake. Not wanting to use the expensive tinned...- homesteader

Super Bowl Commercials - WTF??!!
I think the worst was that bouncing QR code. I'm supposed to pull out my phone, get close to the TV, and do a search to see what you're advertising? No. I did like the Soprano's-themed Chevy electric commercial, but only because I was a Sopranos fan and recently re-watched the series. It...- homesteader

Trying C & D's Pirate Kake
I recently tried Cornell & Diehl's Pirate Kake for the first time. It's classified as an English blend, containing a robust 75% Latakia. Rounding out the blend is burley and Turkish tobaccos. It comes in cake form and rubs out easily. The moisture level was just about right. I’d shied away...- homesteader

Captan Black Grape Discontinued!
The CB Grape would be too new to meet FDA deeming regulations for grandfathering. The company would have to jump through a bunch of regulatory hoops to continue to produce it. They may, if it pays to do so.- homesteader

Captan Black Grape Discontinued!
Yes, several times with no problems. They are owned by the same company that owns Pipes & Cigars. I've gotten great deals on some tobacco. Like some auctions, the prices go higher than retail.- homesteader

PipesandCigars.com Discount Code
I ran into the same thing. What appears to be happening is if something is on sale it doesn't go toward the total. I checked this by adding a bunch of something that wasn't on sale, and it did show the discount. I removed that item and the discount went away, even though my total was over...- homesteader

Anyone Mainly Buy Bulk Tobaccos (or Even Exclusively)?
Try Lane HGL, one of my favorites. It's RLP-6 (basically Captain Black original) with Latakia added.- homesteader

Ugly tin warnings....
A lot of the tins in the US seem to be dropping the warning. The tin on the right is from 2021, and the one on the left is older.- homesteader

What’s Going on with Lane Limited 12 oz Cans?
Captain Black, Sir Walter Raleigh, and Granger have all switched to 7 ounce cans. I suspect it's like so many other products in that it is a way to raise the price without the consumer noticing. For example, coffee used to come in one-pound cans, then they were shrunk to 12 or even 10 ounces...- homesteader
