McClelland: "We're Just Going to Close the Doors"
Very sad news for me/ happy for Mike & Mary. I'm a huge McClelland fan and always took their presence for granted. Luckily my secret santa sent me some #27 and Blackwoods flake (two of my favorites!) Also I have a few others put back. I discovered McClelland tobaccos about 15 years ago and...- mackeson

Praise for GLP and R.I.P.
That was exactly the intent of my post. Apologies for the misinformation, I read in another thread that he was pursuing other interests so just ASSumed (yes, I made an ass out of myself) that him and the other American blenders I like - McClellend, C&D, Russ - would not be able to bring any new...- mackeson

My Carter Hall Has Been Perfect Lately
CH is a great, solid tobacco. I wish I was only in the mood for 1 tobacco any time. That would certainly make life easier. I admire your singular craving and am envious. I'm a spoiled tobacco whore and always crave something different.- mackeson

Praise for GLP and R.I.P.
I (fairly) recently posted a tongue-in-cheek review of Stonehenge flake titleing it my "Favorite disappointment." In truth, it's become one of my daily smokes and truly a favorite. I was lamenting the absence of the floral "Lakeland" flavor I enjoy so much (I'v'e discovered it's there if I...- mackeson

Pre Broken in
Using alcohol on new pre-coated pipes will result in black pipe cleaners due to striping away the coating. This isn't necessarily a bad thing (I usually sand and alcohol pre-coated pipes to get them down to the bare wood) it just depends on what you want. Those coatings are applied to protect...- mackeson

New to Pipes as of Christmas Thanks for My Girlfriend!
I often smoke the same pipe 2 days in a row, but then let it rest. I'm fortunate enough to have more pipes than I need for a decent rotation, but sometimes I want to smoke the same pipe again. There are no hard and fast "Rules." I've always thought Savinelli is the best bang for the buck...- mackeson

How Often Do Threads At PipesMagazine.Com/Forums Influence Your Smoking Habits?
This Forum has really broadened my tobacco selection. I was stuck in a rut of Haddo's Delight, Westminster, Irish Flake, University Flake, Orient 996, McC 27, 1792 and Nightcap before joining. All great tobaccos I enjoy BTW, but limited to just that handful and an occasional few others. I've...- mackeson

I'd go with a Savinelli or Rossi as advised above. Can't beat a Sav for the money in my book. Also check out the Ropp pipes at SP.c -

I've seen every Star Wars in the theater when released. I don't plan to break that as long as they keep making them. Yeah, the original 3 are iconic, but they are all entertaining to me.- mackeson
