    Velvet tobacco

    For some obscure reason that escapes me at the moment I have never tried Velvet. If the nearby B&M carries it I will try it if for no other reason just because I can. I completely agree the the concept of using the acceptable but not fantastic Codger blends to help reset my appreciation of my...

    Long term storage question

    My experience over the decades has been that half full, completely full and firmly packed all behave the same over the years. The only absolute is to be sure that the rim is completely clean before sealing the lid. Store in a dark location that does not experience wide temperature swings and you...

    Wiping mouthpiece with wet wipes and sanitizer alcohol?

    My experience is that the only alcohol allowed near my pipes would be a 12 year old single malt whiskey. ; )

    Flavored Tobacco

    Started with "Cherry Blend" and although the girls liked the aroma it was the definition of evil. Modern aromatics have come so far from the early days.

    Had a Zippo back in High School, 1960-64. Would mix with English Leather to improve the smell with the girls. Have found that using a rubber base fir the cotton packing reduces evaporation.

    General rule of thumb in my experience, 35+ years is that long term storage in in a closet and what will be smoked is kept behind glass away from direct sunlight. Worked for me so far...

    Opinion on Peterson System Pipe

    Bought my first Peterson's about 45 years ago. Have had other brands along the way but now have over 90 different Peterson's, mostly System pipes along with several Sherlock Holmes. Could say that I'm biased but I don't care. They have worked for me over the decades. Decide what you like and go...

I stored half of it in quart mason jars and the other half I "stoved" in quart mason jars. After about 10 years I would start smoking the...

    Broken Stem

    The simple answer is to send it to a reputable repair shop and chalk the expense up to "educational tuition". If you have a slightly above average level of mechanical talent and the imagination to see something desirable in the pipe then let your imagination run wild. Pipe repair/modification is...

    Slow lighting

    Do a similar technique and so curious as to the tobacco blend and moisture content that your using. Always something different to try. Very happy this works for you.
