    GLP EMBARCADERO

    Good review, I have been meaning to get a tin but forgot. Thanks for reminding me.

    Fall Aromatics and Other Blends

    I gravitate towards Latakia's, Holiday Spirit, Autumn Evening and Boswell's Pipers Pleasure.

    Well Well Well MOLD!

    My Penzance got a little fuzzy towards the end of the jar...yes, yes I did. I'm not advising to nor condoning smoking tobacco in that condition, just stating that I did and noticed no difference. Reflecting back I most likely won't do it again.

    Rock Maple Inserts?

    For what it's worth, I've got a Brigham pot dedicated to "Gaslight" from G.L. Pease. I've always used the rock maple insert. When the smoke is finished, the filter comes out slightly brown and wet. You can clean it up a little with Everclear and let it dry or, let it dry as is. Either way worked...

    Stacked Bulldog w/ Cumberland- Just Off The Bench

    I am not a fan of the bulldog shape. This one is superb and has swayed my opinion. Well done.

    Neat Pipes and Radice a cautionary tale?

    All, I am grateful for the wisdom, support, banter, and assistance. This may sound incredible but Leonardo from Al Pascia in Milan sent me a note. It seems he read my circumstances on this forum, called the Radice brothers personally and explained what occurred. The Radices have asked me to send...

    Boswell''s

    My favorite so far is Pipers Pleasure (3.5 rated). Pennsylvania Dutch Treat (another 3.5) for a great mild Cherry. And, Northwoods (3.6 rated) for a good bulk English.

    Oh No, I Have Moldy Nuns!!!

    Oh, not a recommendation nor am I disputing more experienced puffers and medical professionals but, I had some Penzance mold on my once....smoked every bit of it. And, it was fantastic. I did sprout a third nipple but that was a small price to pay for Penzance. 8O

    Oh No, I Have Moldy Nuns!!!

    What about putting it in a deep freeze? This is standard practice for cigars with tobacco beetles (I have had to do it on two different occasions)and it saved my humidor. Granted beetles are not mold, just curious.

    Neat Pipes and Radice a cautionary tale?

    I hope you are correct. I was smoking the pipe when the crack manifested. The chamber behind the bowl captures any moisture and since the shank walls are so thin on this piece the expansion cracked the shank rather severely. I would be glad to exchange it. In fact, one of my emails to the...

    Rich Esserman Part 2 on Radio Show of Sept. 27, 2016

    I love the show! Sadly, I've worked my way through all of them and now have to wait. Eventually, I will start over from the beginning. I really enjoyed all of the Esserman interviews. As a suggestion, I think Esserman, McNiel, Bob ? from Gawith, Per Jensen, Pease and a few other experts should...

    Neat Pipes and Radice a cautionary tale?

    No but it is beyond the inner Delrin? support ring. From the edge of the shank a little less than .5 inch.

    Neat Pipes and Radice a cautionary tale?

    Thank you and your correct to a point. Unfortunately, this crack goes beyond the inner supporting ring and the shank is very thin in places all the way to the bowl. If not resolved, I will be compelled to attempt something just to salvage the piece. A shame really, it was smoking G.L. Pease'...

    What Is Everyone Drinking Tonight?

    Loose leaf green tea currently. Tonight? Most likely TX whiskey or 40 Creek or 40 Creek Double Barrel Aged or Crown Black or Knob Creek or...Well, you get the picture.

    Neat Pipes and Radice a cautionary tale?

    Re: clickklick I hope you are correct. However, I have been hoping for some time now with no resolution. The shame of it is that this was the second or third purchased from Neat Pipes, all Radices'. And, based upon my first purchase my brother in law bought one as well. My confidence has...

    Neat Pipes and Radice a cautionary tale?

    Re: Pagan Sucks indeed! I have two sound ideas on how to do the repair but I am ill equipped.

    Neat Pipes and Radice a cautionary tale?

    Re: 1coyote Paypal. Lots of work, travel (for work), wife and four kids. I am trying to read more regularly, posting not so much.
