    Anchorage Earthquake This Morning

    My wall mounted piperack and pipes survived!!! The cupboard of tobacco tins was expectedly booby trapped when the door was opened. No casualties to the tins though. The jars were under my counter in the kitchen island, and were packed tightly enough not to fall. Whew.

    Smoking Any New (To You) Blends?

    I posted a year or so ago about wanting strong tasting, and strong nicotine tobacco for a recovering cigarette smoker. Most recommendations were for Samuel Gawith ropes and whatnot. Well, since SG is similar in rarety as Esoterica, I never got to try those. Instead, I recently stumbled on...

    Christmas All Year Long!

    I think an interesting interpretation of Christmas is made by Tim Minchin. He is an Aussie musician/comedian/atheist who works atheism into his comedy. He wrote a song called "White Wine in the Sun" about summertime Christmas in Australia, and his happy remembrances as a child. A quote from...

    Cornell & Diehl - Black Frigate

    I'm not sure if I really like this stuff... I've smoked 10 tins already, and have another 40 in the cellar. Each time I open a tin, I'm reminded of the ho hum rum topping and it turns me off. Ten tins through and I think I'll try something else, but just to be safe, I placed another order today...

    Early Morning Pipe, Similar Tobaccos?

    I can't say it's a ringer for EMP, because my palette isn't sophisticated enough, but I love Hearth and Home's Ashcroft Estate. It's a mild English with a hint of sweetness. At least worth a tin to try.

    Smoking Pipes Reporting Back to IRS ??

    I'm not sure where you read "IRS" of "Feds" in that. I read "Colorado Department of Revenue" So your state requires anyone doing business in the state to report taxable sales. That's a "your state" problem, not a Fed or SP problem. SP, or any online retailer has three options- Choose not to do...

    How Do You Resist PAD?

    All I have to do is look at my meager cellar, then read all the glowing reviews of tobacco on this site. I then cross reference my bank account balance with the cost of whatever new pipe I'm pining over. (it also makes it easier to figure how many lbs of tobacco I can buy for the price of that...

    What Are Some Unusual Pipe Materials?

    Not in the same realm, but I have a few acquaintances who smoke other naturally occurring plants besides tobacco. I was impressed at some of the ingenuity involved. One fashioned a makeshift pipe from a high brass shotgun shell base with the primer popped out, and a brass tube cleaning rod as...

    Besides Me, Who Orders Tobacco Based on Cut?

    Thanks for the responses... I don't want anyone to think that I'm missing out on other blends, I have dozens and dozens of tins. In fact, my favorite is only available in a tin. However, when I see a flake or kake next to a ribbon with the same components, I'll take the flake or kake every...

    Besides Me, Who Orders Tobacco Based on Cut?

    This sounds silly, but, I've been choosing my cut recently but ease of storing, rather than how I necessarily like to smoke it. For example, with Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake and Luxury Bulleseye Flake, I can fit 10-14 oz in a jar. With ribbon cuts, I'm lucky to fit 6-8 oz in a jar. With...

    Dang it... I made a modest order and applied the 20% off coupon. A few hours later I went to make a large order, and found out it was a one time discount... Grr, should have made one large order.

    "Travel" smoking kit (Hiking, fishing, etc)

    Since my outings typically involve water... I use those rubbermaid/ziplock brand reusable food storage boxes (the semi-disposable version of tupperware). It fits my MM Country Gentleman, lighter, tamper and a foil bag of tobacco. I reuse a Cater Hall pouch for whatever tobacco I want. Pretty...

    Cellaring While Minimizing Aging?

    Thanks all, After weighing my options, I think I'm just going to let them be- jarred and tinned. I'm not particularly interested in vacuum sealing.

    Cellaring While Minimizing Aging?

    Or does it really matter? I've got a few light English mixtures in the cellar. I'm buying in quantity for the purpose of having them for the future, not necessarily to age (although I am aging VA's on purpose). These light/delicate Englishes have just the right amount of Latakia now, and I...

    What Happend to Prices in the US (?)

    Almost want to make a guy move to Alaska (I'm already here), buy some remote property (I've got two 5 acre parcels) and build a cabin to hermit away in (Mine is about 1200 square feet). Got a root cellar with lots of provisions, almost 40 lbs of tobacco (working on it, getting more), and the...

    Pipe selection on amazon

    To echo the above posts... I recently purchased a Peterson Spigot on Smokingpipes.com that, if I remember correctly, was about $166.00 USD. On Amazon, the same pipe was $229 USD. There were several other instances where the amazon prices were 20-40% higher than the specialty online retailers...

    Apart from Wrong Techniques, What Can Cause Many Relightings?

    Perhaps some of these questions are more appropriately asked in the New Pipesmoker Questions forum... A little over a year ago, I was very much like you. I had a million questions, and I wanted to absorb every little bit of information about pipe smoking. I asked a few questions, got some good...

    RO Series Acadian Gold - RussO hits another winner

    Soo, I just put a few tins in the cart, and it said that it was too many. I lowered the number until it took, then checked out. Now it says "out of stock" Sorry...
