I've tried the plug, golden flake, and escudo and can say with some certainty that you won't be disappointed with any of those. I actually have all three of those on order right now :D
I'm gonna take a guess and say that Penzance is probably a lot of people's 2nd choice and Stonehaven is the first. I haven't been able to find any since I started smoking so I can't speak from personal experience :)
This was posted some time back by the member Staffwalker (and reposted by Paul the Pipe Ninja if I remember correctly):
Here is the method I have used for years and have never had anything go wrong. Use Mason jars but they don't have to be new, use old ones if you have them and wash them...
I'm fairly certain I'm the only person on this base who has a pipe. I've been laughed at by some of the younger guys for it but they'll come around...they always do. One of my drinking buddies back in TX is also my pipe smoking buddy (and is the one who got me into it in the first place). We...
There's tons of great info on this forum. Do a search for "cellaring" for detailed info but the skinny of it is:
store it in an airtight container (mason jars being the favorite method of many).
If it's already in a tin that is unopened then leave it there
Keep it in a cool, dark place.
I...
I just ordered a tin of this in hopes of achieving that very effect. I have no idea if that's what it's made to do or not but the description sound like it to me. I'll report back once I've received it.
My first full bowl of Orlik flake did that. Unfortunately I was also drinking and thought that's what was doing it so I stopped drinking and kept smoking. It was definitely the nic doing it.
Just finished reading. Sucks that he reacted that way. But, in my opinion, a pipe isn't worth ruining a relationship over. Plus, their house their rules :( But let me spread a little bit of propaganda :) I've been smoking an average of about 5 - 10 bowls a week for about a year (minus the first...
I haven't finished the thread yet so this may have already been mentioned but I have bad enough ADD that if I don't do things as they come to mind then I'll never do them. Has anyone seen my bike lately? :)
I'm 29 and my parents don't know that I'm as avid a smoker as I am. I don't care if they...
I did very much. Actually ordered a tin of it for up here :) I think I ordered that, all the frogs, Dunhill flake, EMP, Blackhouse, Magnum Opus, Stogie, Jackknife ready rubbed, um....a few others too :)
I've heard amazing things but have yet to try any. Didn't get around to the tins I had at home so I ordered all of them for where I am now. Should be here in a few weeks :D
I was back at my real home but now I'm back at my mil home...and on the forum :) It's odd having 2 addresses. I decided not to check any luggage so I didn't take any of my pipe stuff back with me because I just didn't have space for anything else. I did ship my Sav Duca Carlo though as it was...
Spent a glorious week in Europe and 4 full, action packed, fun filled weeks at home and now I'm back in good old Afghanistan. I got quite a bit of smoking done while I was gone :D The short story is that I tried about a dozen pipes and my favorites were my Vauen straight volcano, Johs bent...
