    Cleaning Peterson Clay?

    I have a Lepeltier clay pipe. I clean with just hot water as recomended from the company and it is perfect. It does not need anything else.

    Commercial Blends...Consistent Over the Years?

    There are three factors to consider. The first is there is inevitably some variation from year to year of tobacco crops as there is variation in wine and in any other agricoltural product. The second is that the blenders can and do change the blends sometime. The third is the storing...

    Total Flavor Ban

    [that health insurance is the very reason for grossly inflated health care costs?] This is absolutely true. But it is also true that another reason of inflated health costs is that if there is no liability on costs for the individuals costs get out of control because people don't care how much...

    Total Flavor Ban

    [+1 for 64alex, you couln't be more right with this your assumption, moreover we who are living within European union, are way more pressed by tobacco haters and law makers than anybody within the States,(Canada excluded) but can't those lawmakers and Anti T folks understand that tobacco been...

    G&H Bob's Chocolate Flake

    [In my experience, BCF is very different from batch to batch. I bought a pound in 2010 that is fantastic for instance. Other batches (I have about three pounds bought over the years in 1/2 lb or 500 gr. boxes) not nearly as good. Kind of like 1792 in that way.] Was this bulk or tinned version...

    Total Flavor Ban

    [The problem is health insurance. Once we're paying for the treatment of others, we have the right to restrict them in eating fatty foods, smoking and other "scientific" top causes of death.] Correct. But the solution is having the health insurance premiums adjusted accordingly. So for example...

    Bic Lighter or Wooden Matches?

    I avoid BIC, I get burned my fingers all the time. If I have to use a lighter I use one with 90' flame adapted for pipe. But I prefer matches which I always use for initial lighting. Problem is when outside as I don't like Zippo for the smell and matches/butane lighters are pretty useless if...

    Smoking While Out and About

    [Pipes contribute to marital harmony! Very true. If your spouse needs extra time to do something, "I'll be outside on the bench, take your time, no problems."] Well, problem is that I prefer pipe smoking inside. So I would rewrite in this way: "You did a lot of things and you need some rest...

    Which Rope/Twist?

    I am getting interested in the ropes/twists offerings from the SG/GH syster companies. The different types are probably relatively similar. Which one would you suggest to try and why? As a reference point I had 1792 flake which I definitely like which is why I am getting interested in the...

    New Tobaccos! Which Do I Open First?!

    To me it looks you wanted to show what you got which is pretty nice. You should open what is inspiring you now and only you know the answer.

    Your Thoughts on Brebbia Balkan

    [no matter what they claim it is no more a Syrian but a Cyprian Latakia at least in the last few years Do you think that relates to all producers?] The last two producers who had Syrian in the last 3 or 4 years were McClelland and McBaren. McClelland finished their Syrian at the beginning of...

    Your Thoughts on Brebbia Balkan

    I have me too a tin unopened. However, my understanding is that no matter what they claim it is no more a Syrian but a Cyprian Latakia at least in the last few years.

    Air Cleaning Systems

    [Best bet is an exhaust hood that vents outside. Much better to remove the smoke as it happens rather than try and abate later. Beyond that, you've received some good air treatment ideas. I'll add that electrostatic precipitators work well, especially when mated with a good carbon filter...

    Air Cleaning Systems

    [Seriously, if there was not a no smoking clause in the original deal you made, I would ignore the 'rule'.] It is not related to leasing contract but to city regulations coming up. It looks like it will be effective for new leases very soon but it will be extended in 1 year to all existing...

    Air Cleaning Systems

    In another post I just said that unfortunately regulation is going soon to be enacted in the city where I live which is going to ban smoking in apartment buildings. It's a big problem for me as smoking outside at least for me is losing 80% of the experience. So I am thinking to see if there...

    It's a Tragedy!!!

    Unfortunately regulation are going soon to be enacted n the city where I live which is going to ban smoking in apartment building. It's a total tragedy as I do enjoy smoking the pipe sitting relaxed in my chair reading a book. Smoking outside at least for me is losing 80% of the experience...
