How Do They?
Some (Ser Jacopo) are not drilled straight. There are methods to drill curved holes. I have used such a technique in the past. The 2nd pipe, Ser Jacopo Insanus, is to my knowledge not drilled straight. Although most bent pipes are drilled straight as shown by chasingembers. -
How Long Can Tobacco Stay Good Once It’s Opened?
Depends on how well the tin seals. I've got some that have been open over a year and they are still great, to my taste. Square tins usually don't hold up for long. I do jar most, but I don't sweat it if they stay in the tin.- elessar

Do You Have a Different Hobby?
My last rifle build was a custom AR15 in 204. If I do an AR10 a 6.5 will be on the short list. The 6.5 is a great choice. Since the coronavirus lockdown, I finished up a Glock 17 build as I'm stuck inside anyway.- elessar

Plum Pudding Special Reserve
Have a go. Awesome stuff with great complexity. One of my favorites. If you like it I would also recommend Russ' Tastykake. For some reason they seem similar to me. Both great.- elessar

2 Mystery Pipes, Same Maker
Your are on the trail I think. The shape is spot on and the "Aged Imported Briar" stamping looks identical. -
2 Mystery Pipes, Same Maker
That's exactly what it is. It is threaded into the stem and is removable as well. -

I had read that also. It's the font and stampings that throw me off. -

2 Mystery Pipes, Same Maker
That is what I found as well. It is certainly the BBB logo, but without country of origin and the grades don't match any known grades. Also, the font used is not what I am used to seeing on BBB. -
2 Mystery Pipes, Same Maker
I recently aquired a pipe which has similar markings to another I have. Both of which do not conform to what is known about the brand which is stamped on the pipes, BBB. They certainly have the BBB logo, but they are not stamped with any country of origin. To my knowledge, the font used on... -

Older Unsmoked Yello-Bole?
It really looks rather clean as is. I would take the stem out and clean it up, might need as little as a moist paper towel. I would also polish up the the silver ring. I would again try a moist paper towel with expectation that something else may be needed. Many have good luck using...- elessar

Older Unsmoked Yello-Bole?
That's a higher end Yello Bole if I recall correctly. I also have an unsmoked Yello Bole that I have chosen not to smoke for now. Mostly because it is rather small and not along the lines of my regular rotation. If your pipe is a size and shape you enjoy, I say go for it. Yello Bole is not...- elessar

Morning Smoke
Hard to beat Nording (McClelland) Labrador with coffee. That is my go to for the rare occurrence of a morning smoke. Unfortunately that tobacco is no more. My stash will be gone in time.- elessar

Quarantine Shenanigans
Lawn darts really gets interesting when it evolves into "over the house" lawn darts. It's no wonder they banned those things. It is a wonder I still have both eyes lol.- elessar

Match Bulk Tobaccos
To my knowledge they are one and the same. Sutliff makes the match blends for P&C. SP just sells them under the Sutliff banner.- elessar
