    Cigar Leaf Blends

    Leaf Only.com Whole Leaf.com Both sell various types of blending leaf. Now, I have too many choices! Either feast, or, famine..... :)) Frank NYC

    Lane Limited HGL

    Thinking this blend is underrated and not as "fashionable" as some other blends-du-jour that are currently popular. Too bad. "HGL" is, and remains, consistently good over all these years. I smoked it in the '90s and smoke it now, and it hasn't changed at all. It's easy, and pipe-friendly...

    Smoking for Aroma

    Elijah H.... Do what ever you want. It's your pipe and your tobacco. Have fun your way, and on your own terms. If you must, breathe outwards, if sniffing, rather than smoking your favorite tobacco is your pleasure. Just, do it....and don't worry about what others might think. But cosmic is...

    Cigar Leaf Blends

    Read through all the postings so far, with great interest. Thanks for all the information. My first choice for a "condimental" tobacco is cigar-leaf. I use it to punch up and add some complexity to many of the ho-hum blends that are offered. It works wonders, and I like the thicker, creamy...

    New to Forum, Burley Question(s)

    Welcome to this forum and collection of pipe and tobacco geniuses. Sit back, and wait for the answers. They'll come, for sure. I wonder if you are smoking Lane Ltd "Burley Light Without the Bite" = BL/WB Wish I could help you, but I can't. Will just a "hello" due for now? Frank NYC BTW...If...

    R.I.P. Maj. Charles Winchester III

    Terrific actor, and perfect replacement for Frank Burns. David, exits stage left. Enjoy the wrap-up party. MASH...was a great show, but too bad Hawkeye never evolved beyond his boyish, sophomoric pranks...especially in Hawkeye's, and in the show's later years. He just became more and more...

    Estate Pipes- First purchase

    mikey: Are you going to refurbish/restore your estate-pipes? If yes, cheap, crappy, no-name Ebay pipes make good practice pipes. So do garage-sale pipes. If you make a mistake, toss the pipe. You'll learn in the process. If not, buy refurbished estate pipes. The above postings will tell...

    Drink Cigar Rolling

    So interesting. I watched some You-Tube videos that showed some gents hand-rolling cigars. Went to a wedding reception, years ago, and there was a cigar-roller there making cigars for the wedding guests. Having, no interest in cigars I never paid any attention to what the man was doing. I...

    Drink Cigar Rolling

    rajangan... Thanks for the process shots. Never knew one could make a homemade cigar if so inclined. Very interesting to see how a cheroot is made. What keeps the whole package together? Why doesn't the wrapper, unwrap? Do you use some king of "glue" to hold the wrapper leaf around the...

    Gurgling ?

    jpmcwjr.... Tobacco is air-dried, and you helpful gents on the forum told me to smoke slowly, so I do. I still get gurgles. Why?...I have no idea....unless.... the tobacco is NOT as dry as I think it is. Just what is DRY-ish tobacco? How do I know if the tobacco is dry enough to smoke. I...

    Unfaithful to a Blend?

    flaky... Thanks for the tips. Tobacco Reviews note that Mac Baren makes it...but still can't find it in The States. At least, not yet. Bet forum members will know where I need to look. Frank NYC

    Cavendish and Nicotine

    I have found, from sad experiences, to only smoke after eating, to nibble/eat something sweet while smoking, and to drink something when smoking....soda, coffee, tea, spirits, although you might get dizzy from the strong spirits.... Stop smoking if you feel buzzed, queasy, sick. Try smoking...

    Unfaithful to a Blend?

    flakyjakey..... Ummmmmm????...."Ogden's Original Walnut Flake". You got me intrigued. But I think it's going to be hard to find in the USA. :(( Frank NYC

    Unfaithful to a Blend?

    Started pipe-smoking in 1966. Codger blends and OTC bulk were only blends that I knew existed. Almost every piper smoked these aromatics back in the day. They were cheap, and always available in pouch or cans. Mail ordering never occurred to me as a tool for searching for new, and better...

    Gurgling ?

    No longer an issue for me. My pipes, from the best, to the cheapest, gurgle no matter how hard I try to avoid it, and I no longer will stress over the natural steam and moisture problems from smoldering tobaccos. I just periodically, run a pipe-cleaner down the stem of my pipes as I smoke, even...
