    The Most Disappointing Tobacco

    Another is 1Q - smells amazing in the tin. Smoking, it has little to no flavor and sizzles the tongue! :poop:

    The Most Disappointing Tobacco

    Esoterica - And So To Bed. Horrible stuff - gave it away!

    Father Dempsey - topping?

    No topping or casing on that one. The tobaccos used in the blend seem to meld rather well to give a smooth, cool smoke with no lack of complexity. I usually prefer more stout Lat blends, however It's one of the few milder English I like. IMHO, Fr. D also seems to perform a little differently...

    Neerup Pipe Question

    Hang in there - I'm a real fan of Neerups - have several. Great pipes and stout, too! As has been suggested, you may be packing too tight or tamping too firmly. If you care to swap, give a ring - I have a lot more that may be of interest!

    New Geppetto Pipe Has a Bad Smell

    Yeah - if it was a nice value pipe, I'd work with it and keep it. A high end pipe is entirely another matter. I would do a return and get something else. I remember buying a very nice pipe and the stem was quite loose in the shank. I received several suggestions on how to fix, but was already...

    Real Bad at Lighting Cigars

    Toast your cigar thoroughly and lightly blow on it before the draw. When smoking, if you see an canoe, touch it up lightly to get a straight burn.

    Cuban - Honduran - Nicaraguan - Dominican

    The Hoos said it right! Why pay $450.00 to $700.00 per box for not so good Cubans When you could smoke Opus X for less? Yep - those prices are real. Have a look at some cigar online sites that sell real cubans. Nicaraguans, Dominicans, etc are excellent cigars. BTW - anyone that dislikes...

    I Want to Try Hand-rolled Cigars

    My 2c worth from enjoying cigars for quite a while... Forget machine made cigars - they are crap with floor sweepings as fillers. For real. Forget Cubans - they have gotten to be uber expensive and are not nearly as good as they were prior to 2000. Yes, you will pay around $400.00 - $600.00...

    What types of blends are best for relights.

    I find that many Scottish & English blends, particularly stout ones, do very well with DGT! Cigars - not so much! :rolleyes:

    How Do You Feel About Stems In Your Tobacco?

    No big deal. Just pinch them out an proceed. Cigars are another matter. Stems in cigars really torque my bacon!

    White Elephant Pipes

    So, the new White Elephant pipe from SP has arrived. Very well packed as usual, comes in a nice box with a logo cloth pipe bag. Pretty impressive for a rather modestly priced pipe. The fit and finish are excellent, both inside and out, with the chamber coated - just right for me. The finish...

    Anyone Near Sarasota or Tampa?

    Good morning. Looking to see if there are any other pipe enthusiasts in this general area of FL. Like to connect and have a few bowls, cigars and some good bourbon while telling lies and solving all the ills of the world!
