    Has Your Personality Progressed or Digressed Over Time?

    Two starkly contrasting examples of what can happen to a politician's aging mind: Joe Biden and Rudy Giuliani.

    A New Castello Provides ZERO Taste... WTF!

    There is a tobacco and a packing method for any decent pipe.

    Estervals: Is The Party Over?

    Whether its USPS or US Customs or both that is/are to blame, the fact is that packages were being returned to Germany with no opportunity for the intended recipient to intervene. Estervals is as much in the dark as to how or why this happens as we seem to be. As an aside, I will say that I was...

    Estervals: Is The Party Over?

    Yes they are rude in email correspondence. But I can't blame them for not wanting to sell here anymore.

    Estervals: Is The Party Over?

    You just gotta love Esterval's rude and haughty attitude.

    Looking for Oriental Blend Recommendations

    Regents flake is good. Temple bar is even better.

    Gawith Hoggarth Brown Flake...

    Right, thanks. I'm still confused. Here's another just for fun:

    Gawith Hoggarth Brown Flake...

    Oh. Someone should sue them for false advertising.

    Gawith Hoggarth Brown Flake...

    This from Tobacco Reviews: Brown flake scented: licorice, maple, tonquin bean Brown flake aromatic: vanilla and fig Now we have Brown A Scented/Aromatic. Looking forward to trying it..

    Gawith Hoggarth Brown Flake...

    I just got off the phone with Ernie at Watch City. We were trying to make sense of the current labeling of the most current Gawith Hoggarth Brown Flake. Previously there were 'aromatic' and 'scented' versions. These seem to have been supplanted by the current 'Brown A Flake Scented/Aromatic'...

    You are in Charge of White Spot Pipes: Would You do Anything Differently?

    I would file down the buttons. They are HUGE!

    Too Many Blends, But Too Few Producers?

    If not now, then soon..

    Too Many Blends, But Too Few Producers?

    The key words that I take from this discussion so far are 'duplication', 'consolidation', and 'illusory'. With so many blends out there, its helpful information to have. It's important to support the likes of Seattle Pipe Club, Watch City, Ken Byron, Uhle's, Peretti, Tabac Manil, etc, in order...

    Do You Beg, Borrow, Or Steal Dunhills?

    Maybe this is off the topic, but when I go to the 'main' Dunhill website, I see clothing, bags, shoes. accessories, and fragrance, but no pipes. Yes, there is a separate website for Dunhill pipes, but the larger Dunhill seems to want no part of it. This is totally understandable given the...

    Vegan Cheese

    There are some good ones now. I wouldn't make a pizza with them, but they can be delicious in a quesadilla. Like many newfangled things, may be more suitable for younger audiences.

    Do You Move The Flame Around When Lighting?

    I focus on the center, to avoid having burning tobacco in contact with the walls of the bowl. Tamping brings the unburned peripheral tobacco into contact with the more central ember. This really only applies to a wider bowl.

    Too Many Blends, But Too Few Producers?

    Ok, but I imagine a time when there were lots of small producers, each making its own distinctive products. Some possible effect of monopoly might include higher quality overall, but more redundancy among the numerous blends that these factories produce. Of course, we're lucky to have what we...

    Too Many Blends, But Too Few Producers?

    It's often been stated that we are in a golden age, in terms of the number of tobacco brands and blends available. Yet, when I look at the backs of my tins, I find the same few parent companies over and over. It seems that there are only a few entities that actually produce the bulk of our pipe...
