Home Infusions?
I have not tried liquid infusions / toppings. Did an experiment with expresso beans and a nice burley - left several beans in the burley for a month. Smelled nice, but absolutely zero expresso or any other flavor from the beans in the smoke! The aroma turned out to be from the expresso beans...- badbriar

Mason jars with a latch
Short term - year or so is fine. I have several that actively are drawn from and no issues at all. Better to go with real Ball mason jars for the long haul.- badbriar

Are tobacco reviews really of much value?
Very much depends upon the reviewer. Those who do not care for latakia blends may rate an English or Scottish blend unfavorable, where a lat lover may fall in love with the same blend. As said, a reviewer with a cosmopolitan palate may be a better source to rely on. Personally, I sincerely...- badbriar

Packing Half a Bowl
Pots are great for shallow bowls. Savinelli makes a 316, among others, that I have several of. One of my favorites for 45 min to an hour bowl. Rossi has a 8316 - same shape, just lower cost. Check those out.- badbriar

Purchasing dilemma...
Personally, I'd advise against 20 different blends. IMHO, there is a high likelihood that you will run into several that are not your preference and you will be stuck with some that you don't care for. As for English and Scottish blends, lean towards the medium to stronger offerings. Mild...- badbriar

Thoughts on Toscano Pipe Blends?
Does anyone have experience with the Toscano pipe bends that could share opinions? Personally, I really enjoy their dry cigars and would like to know what to expect with their pipe blends. Thx-RR- badbriar

Erik Stokkebye Pipe Tobacco Humidor
Hey, there is a strong market for obscenely priced Cuban cigars in Asia. A great many of these will very likely end up there. Irrational overpaying of nice, but certainly not the best products, in that market.- badbriar

Very elegant gesture! Good on SP. Like the fact that it has the Smoking Pipes name on the lighter. Do they sell Kiribi lighters with the SP name?- badbriar

How Cold Is Too Cold?
Cold is relative. Personally, if I am uncomfortable, it's too cold. I can always put on more clothes to keep warm, but too hot is another animal!- badbriar

Florida Pipe Smokers Meet
On the return trip home, Mark brought up a good point. If the Floridians over on the Atlantic side were to organize a get-together with some of their guys confirmed to attend, we Gulf coast FL guys would love to meet there. Be good to check out the place we've heard about over in Vero Beach. If...- badbriar
