    Question About Open Tins

    Far better to be wimpy on the nicotine than to be "allergic" to the Latakia. Jar it up and try it in the future. And use any references (like tobaccoreviewsDOTcom) regarding nicotine strength as you develop your palate and tolerance.

    Happy to be Here

    I too, took the vanilla, cherry, English pipe path. Keep on, there are fields of VAPers, BurPers and more, at which to arrive and enjoy.

    Question About Open Tins

    I've always had "difficulty" opening the round tins and needed the assistance of a coin or knife to twist the lid enough to release pressure. Whilst I just got through diminishing the idea of mold in another thread, getting nausea, combined with being a new smoker, I would say perhaps you need...

    GLP Must Have Blends

    When I'm playing it smart, I never open one UNTIL it has bulged for me. And they've always been delicious. When I don't get that delightful "WHOOSH" from popping the top, I always suspect it could have been just a little better.

    Don't get worked up about the hyperbole.

    GLP Must Have Blends

    I'm not trying to be rude here, but that's more like fear-porn than actual potential or likely scenario. The few instances of mold have been highly publicized, well corrected / compensated to the consumer, and rational minds seem to acknowledge that % production-wise, their "issues" are no...

    Regular or Bristle?

    Thanks all, much appreciated. As my late mother used to say: that's as clear as mud. I intend to follow your recommendations down to the very last detail...............

    Regular or Bristle?

    I've been using regular BJ Long tapered cleaners for a while and they work fine so far. But I looked at my stash and found that over my orders, I also have gotten some that are "bristled". My question is whether or not there is any potential to damage the internals of a stem with those that...

    Do You Dry Your Tobacco Before Smoking? Why or Why Not?

    Nice to see the ENVIRONMENT mentioned as a significant factor. Why some great recommendations sometimes simply won't work for another person in another location......

    Breaking In A New Pipe

    They're ok. I have a couple of pear wood pipes from my first purchases, as I thought I was saving $ or something?? But not really. Go with briar, many reputable brands are affordable, and a good ol' corn cob pipe will perform quite well.

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2024?***

    A chimney. And I finally got a decent charring light. Oh, and I've got over 24 hours on the bowl so far...... Followed by Big & Burley in a current era rusticated Peterson 305 with an acrylic P-lip accompanying a glass of French Rose, Fleur de Prairie. Yeah, I did that, but before you yank my...

    A Whine To Go With Old Age

    Yes, definitely auto-immune. Back when there was more rationality and less denial, eczema and similar was acknowledged as a response which precluded any further vaccinating of that individual if it occurred to a child.

    The (Becoming) Popular Ice Bath/Cold Shower Trend

    I'd love to have a property with spring-fed ponds. That's awesome.

    How and Why do you Clench?

    With my teeth..... Cuz I like to..... OK There are actual benefits to breathing through the nose, and clenching will promote that, and at a better pace, if not overly active at the moment. I began with the common position on either side, but felt subtle changes and pressures in my teeth and...
