    Go to Your Local B&Ms, Folks

    I used to work at one of the best local cigar and pipe shops in my area. I revisit from time to time and smoke a cigar and grab a tin or two, occasionally a pipe. The cost difference is a hindrance. I'm lucky to live in southern california where there are plenty of cigar shops, but ones that...

    A Latakia Blend for Latakia Haters?

    I will recommend Drucquer & Sons, Inns of Court, for a delicious virginia/oriental forward blend with slight latakia. Red Rapperee a good choice for medium. And Erik Stokkebye 1882 for a full bodied;but honestly I dont know the full bodied realm of latakia.

    We Americans live in Pipe Tobacco Nirvana

    We have it better than most but it is important to understand that we fight for our rights compared to our own standards and not any others. Not to say we are better than anyone else but rather we're supposed to control who makes the laws of the land, and only on our consent give them authority...

    Birth Of A Cellar

    I like the wide mouth 8oz jars for easy access and stuffing. The only problem is that I dont smoke often enough and I now have 28 Mason jars sitting around and about 10 opened tins. My cellar has over 200 tins resting away. I like to have variety available for my smoking moods.Ive been at it ~6...

    What Is the Single Most Special Blend, or Tin, in Your Stash?

    I walked into a B&M during the McClelland rush looking for Cheer and Aniversary (being a McClelland lover since my early smoking days) and I found tins of Rich Virginia Ribbon...it always seemed to disappear when I went looking for it. RVR was on my buy list for a long time but never to be...

    Storing Flakes

    I second 64alex, proper aging tobacco requires moisture(G. Pease has articles on his site) and it seems that some tobaccos can naturally loose moisture during the aging process(IMHO). Even if aging the flakes isn't the goal it's better to err on the side of preparation than regrets.

    Having Some Trouble

    Assuming the packing is indeed ok(different blends burn better with firmer packing) it sounds like tamping might be the issue. I went through similar phases as we all do and proper, consistent tamping is really what has allowed me to burn whole bowls with minimal relights. That along with steady...

    FDA Premium Cigar Comment Period Officially Begins

    Thanks everyone, I wrote that very impromptu and just wanted to make sure everyone is aware that there is an outlet for our voice. Trust me when I say that I could be more aggressive and insulting but my hope is that someone with power(care) will actually get the message.We all know how that...
