    [REFERENCE] Things I Found in My Tobacco

    Title edited for brevity. This is the complete orginal: [REFERENCE] Things I Found in My Tobacco - Episode 1 - Acadian Gold (Perique Method) [INTRODUCTION] Inspired by a recent inquiry into some white 'growths' in a tin of Robert McConnell Perique, I thought I would take a look around in my...

    Robert McConnell - Pure Perique

    Yes I have [good] news for you. It will take a little time to write it up, as there are photos and lots of text. Later today I will post my findings, though as you're apparently 8:30 hours ahead of my time zone, it may be a little late in your day. 👍

    Robert McConnell - Pure Perique

    I will have an answer for that question later today, I hope.

    Robert McConnell - Pure Perique

    Looking through my tins I now recall that Russ Ouellette's Acadian Gold, one of my all-time favorites, has lots of these crystals. Perhaps not coincidentally it too is a Perique process tobacco, albeit with Virginias as the base. The tobacco and the paper both have lots of crusty crystals.

    [RESQUEST FOR HELP] Anyone in/near Denver CO Zip 80211 - Reward Offered - 8/31/2023

    It turns out that the USPS is responsive to complaints so with a little pressure at the proper agencies that have oversight over individual post offices, the offending post office is now "on the case". Why a postal worker would deliver a 14lb box of 125 year old books without a label to the...

    Assuming that your crystals and mine are similar, I hope I can bring you good news. I am happy to help!

    I've seen crystals like this on Kolhase & Kopp products as well. On the paper insert. I can scrape some off this evening and take microscopic images tomorrow at the lab to have a better look.

    I have similar crystals on my Esoterica Kingsbridge which is why I ask. But these I've confirmed by microscopy.

    Looks like It could be salt crystals too. Do you have a means of providing higher resolution, higher magnification images?

    [RESQUEST FOR HELP] Anyone in/near Denver CO Zip 80211 - Reward Offered - 8/31/2023

    Hi Folks, I'm having a bit of trouble with the Post Office. Some of my mail has been diverted to Denver rather than Minneapolis due to an error at scan-in upon arrival in the USA. A box with some very old tobacco-related books has been delivered to the wrong address in Denver instead of my...

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    Yes, this fellow. He's on this forum you know. 'The Mitre' ... I believe his first post on the forum was one where he attempted to convince everyone that his pipe's stinger was in fact an SOE dagger so that he could list it as such on eBay. Then the whole Peterson house pipe with the amber tip...

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    I see this seller offering many rare, desirable pipes with this "top repair" procedure done. I suppose if a pipe had sentimental value I'd consider a repair of this type but I wouldn't think a pipe like this would otherwise be desirable at near-market prices.

    Huge Estervals Sale

    Just a heads up, I believe you've got to be logged in to see the sale. It's been running for a while, at prices for many (tobacco) items that are a half to a third of what we generally pay here in the USA.

    Blends With Latakia but Without Virginia or Burley

    Ordinarily I'd search for blends containing those ingredients *only* in Tobaccoreviews, but that search function appears not to work, and results in tobaccos that contain only Cavendish and only Latakia. Hopefully that functionality is eventually restored.
