    Anyone Heard of this Texas Bourbon?

    The BIB act in 1897 was more about taxation than truthful labeling. The Taft Decision in 1906 was concerned more with what whiskey is, how it can be classified and labeled. There were many unscrupulous producers at the time with many adulterated 'whiskeys'. Today things are better but not by...

    Is that cake a Castello?

    Pineapple on Pizza: Yea or Nay?

    Pineapple can be delicious on pizza. I prefer grilled pineapple as a topping with a salty ham as companion. Personal favorite is tomato, garlic and anchovies. With a bottle of manzanilla sherry.

    Recommend Me a Tobacco

    I would try GL Pease Quite Nights, not as strong as Nightcap but complex and satisfying.

    Whisky/Whiskey and . . . . Soda?

    It seems to be a strong stance against adding anything to one’s whisk(e)y. My observation, after working for over 2 decades with fine spirits and wine, is that most master blenders and distillers (some with massive experience and responsibilities in the industry) add at least a little still...

    Whisky/Whiskey and . . . . Soda?

    Drinking whisk(e)y and soda is a very old practice, called a highball. My preference is to use a peated whisky for this preparation, as Laphroaig, Ardbeg, Talisker etc., matured in ex bourbon casks. I find that whiskies matured exclusively in sherry seasoned casks don’t hold well to the dilution...

    Defective General Cob

    I second the Elmer’s glue recommendation. Hav a cob that developed a crack and I just filled it with glue. Pipe still going strong.

    The fear of bathing was real, and water in general. Washing the laundry would have been quite an experience…

    Rachel, who works for GH, is a member here. I would try to contact her through the forum.

    Let’s Talk Lakeland’s…

    I try to look at this products in a historical context. In the early 19th century most people in the Western world had very poor hygiene. Large cities were quite filthy to current standards, very crowded and lacking sanitation services. People used to throw their trash and human waste out their...

    Top Tier Tobaccos

    Look at the LJ Peretti catalog. Many of their tobacco blends are excellent.

    Let’s Talk Lakeland’s…

    I’m not aware of any other company that manufactures tobacco in such matter, both flavoring and leaf sourcing/processing, at the moment. I would contact GH and see if the facilities could be visited. Would be an extraordinary experience to be able to talk to the workers and see the very old...

    Xikar Butane vs Corona Old Boy

    I have been using Vector gas for Corona and Dupont lighters for over a decade. Never had a issue and the cans last long times.

    If you were me......

    I would open both of them and compare them. If I’d like the older version I would look for more tins. If the new version is the favorite I would stock up.

    GH Drop - What'd You Order?

    I would keep an eye on WCC. They might have some available or coming soon.

    SmokingPipes Down?

    Interesting thing how perception towards an object changes and the idea of scarcity gets people anxious. I consider the GH tobacco to be of high quality and remember how it was almost always available a few years back. Many pipe smokers on forums were airing puritanical opinions about the...

    Standing Tomato by Konstantin Shekita

    Very cool pipe and priced affordably! Enjoy!

    Bison, yum!

    I find that ground bison meat makes an excellent Bolognese sauce, with a little extra fat added to compensate for the lean meat.

    Anyone Use Black Silicone Tips for Stems?

    Used them for a while but no longer. It made the bit thicker, which I found to be uncomfortable, collected saliva and discolored ebonite stems. I clench very rarely therefore the inconvenience of using them was a dealbreaker.
