Pesse Canoe?
I'd love to try these, and would be happy to arrange a group purchase if a tobacconist, in Turkey perhaps, would be willing to ship to the United States.- greeneyes

Trapping Squirrels?
I tried this one first and it turns out that a strong squirrel can start to jam the door upward. Once the door is warped the trap won't spring again as the mechanism requires that the door and lock (that wire bracing against the door) is perfectly level and perpendicular. I scrapped it and...- greeneyes

Trapping Squirrels?
I spent all summer trapping the squirrels that were chewing into my garbage cans. The wire traps with the drop down doors at Amazon work great. I began by writing numbers on their haunches to identify them to see if any were returning. They were. They don't care that they've been caught. I...- greeneyes

Price of Amber Stems in 1901
I feel we're on the verge of an "amber-stemmed pipe-to-Big Mac™" conversion factor that can account for inflation, devaluation and currency exchange rates. Here I've found an account of what a working class family will have paid for various expenses in 1901 London. About three-quarters down...- greeneyes

Price of Amber Stems in 1901
According to the converter at the National Archives 12/6 would've been equivalent to £49 ($62.30 USD) at 2017 valuation. Day's wage it says, give or take. https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/currency-converter/#currency-result Another converter gives a slightly higher estimate, but in the same...- greeneyes

Stonehaven Replacement
I like Irish Flake, which is a topped Virginia-Burley flake that I find similar enough to Stonehaven (which is also, incidentally, a topped Virginia-Burley flake).- greeneyes

Tobacco Flavoring for Smoking Products: Leffingwell, 1972
It's interesting you mention Gawith-Hoggarth because I have a jar of GH Latakia as well, and it is *real* (what I consider to be real, anyway) Latakia. There are other mixtures that are readily available here in the USA that use a jet-black, large ribbon leaf with a very forward and...- greeneyes

Tobacco Flavoring for Smoking Products: Leffingwell, 1972
Just as there is Perique that is "artificially derived" (see Three Nuns recipe elsewhere on this forum) there is also "artificially derived" Latakia (see Latakia flavor above). I remember a vigorous discussion on another forum with individuals emphatically denying the existence of such a thing.- greeneyes

Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes
I think these photos may have been the GBD set he ("The Mitre") attempted to repair. At least one of the pipes in the set was smokeable. I'm glad that these pipes aren't one-of-a-kind rarities, in any case. Perhaps a ventilated bowl gives a cooler smoke, who knows?! ;)- greeneyes

Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes
This 'family-era' Ben Wade---with minor blemish----veritably slipped through the pipe community's fingers. Bidding started at only £155 ($197.55). Deals like this do occasionally go unnoticed. https://www.ebay.com/itm/195830174332- greeneyes

Pipe Tobacco Heartbreak
It's a matter of personal choice, I suppose. But if it's worth creating a thread about "heartbreak" then I'd say it meets the threshold for following up with actual examination under a microscope. There are lots of "mold or plume" threads here and were it not for further inspection lots of...- greeneyes

Pipe Tobacco Heartbreak
As a scientist I'd say that there is a good chance that those white fluffy specks are in fact salt crystal blooms, the product of sublimation. The crystals of some salts are fluffy and not "crystal-like" at all. Mold and fungi tend to like to grow on organic substrate (though, not always) and...- greeneyes

British pipes. —— a Hypothetical
Sticking with a brand, to the exclusion of others, before experiencing for ones self firsthand the qualities of each, and then proceeding to build an entire collection... I'd say it's a bit myopic.- greeneyes

This. Posting anything desirable and all but unobtainable online virtually guarantees it'll get completely bought out almost instantly. Heck, there are bots and lurkers that scour the site just looking for info like this.- greeneyes
