    Sampling Sam Gawith Flakes

    Now is probably not the best time to inquire about SG tobaccos since they are sold out in most places. Still, I’ve been trying to figure out a way to sample a number of different SG tobaccos that a) I’d really like to try but b) am not sure I’ll like (I don’t care for Lakeland flavoring)...

    Unmarked CAOs?

    It seems like a good deal of Meers are unmarked, even many nice ones. But I came upon an unmarked estate meer in a case (that fits) with a CAO sticker. It's beautiful and already coloring like its block meerschaum (much like my Altinok). But I'm wondering if unmarked CAOs are common/uncommon...

    A Big Thank You To You All!

    Amen. I love the jokes, the humility, and the lack of competition... everyone is cheering everyone else on.

    Full Virginia Flake 1lb Box Storage

    Anyone have an idea where I could presently find the FVF 1 LB box? Europe? I’ve been looking pretty consistently at all the main online retailers to no avail.

    What Brings You Here on a Saturday Night?

    Downtime before a long (but fulfilling) Sunday...

    Full Virginia Flake 1lb Box Storage

    Thanks Craig! Got the 250 box from Mars- had not ordered from them before.

    Full Virginia Flake 1lb Box Storage

    I precut as well, dividing it all up into smaller jars. And then I smoke one jar at a time. P. S. Haven’t seen FVF available at any online retailer for months. Got some CD Opening Night to distract me but it’s no where close (for me) to FVF. FVF is probably my desert island tobacco.

    The Quality of the Stamping

    I have a Cellini Original from Chicago that looks like it was stamped 3 times... wish I could know what happened.

    Show Off Your Barlings Here

    Trying to figure out the date and transition era of this Barling I found over the weekend. Any thoughts? Haven’t smoke it yet but about to start working on that intense stem...

    Sam Martin pipes

    Burnout is what I thought at first, too! But there’s nothing on the inside of the bowl and in fact it has barely been smoked as best I can tell. Smoked it twice today and, besides being a bit heavy to clench, it has one of the nicer overall feels of all my bents. Would love to hear from other...

    Sam Martin pipes

    I recently picked up a Sam Martin estate pipe in great condition. I just cleaned it and plan to take it for a spin today. I’ve searched the forum to see what info/reviews I could get on these pipes but haven’t found much more than they are loved and Sam was loved. Any thoughts on these pipes...

    Ebay $&@!?

    <p>Well... I’ve enjoyed reading all of this discussion over the last week or two. I am happy to announce that I did win a pipe recently (a Cellini Original which I kind of collect). I’m sad to announce that, as best I can tell right now, it was stolen from my front porch after USPS dropped it...

    Everything Tastes Terrible This Week

    Yep. Nothing adds to an already negative mood (due to sickness) than all my favorite tobacco suddenly tasting bad. Sorry for your sucky week... get well soon.

    Ebay $&@!?

    Lots of wisdom here. Thanks to all of you for your input. More encouraged to keep trying. I like the idea of coming to terms with my own max bid in advance and letting that be the deciding factor.

    Ebay $&@!?

    ☝️ I think you have clearly articulated my feelings on the matter. I’m guessing automated bidding is involved and I’m not really wanting to play that kind of eBay game.

    Ebay $&@!?

    No matter how many eBay estate pipes I bid on, I lose them all. Forgive me if I’m just complaining... but does anyone else experience this? I’m bidding on pipes that are not super popular and are often not worth more than $50, but I still lose. Maybe I just don’t enjoy the competition of Ebay...

    Sutliff: 515 RC-1 Tin (Bag) Note?

    Agreed. A vinegar type smell stung my nose. Nevertheless I let it sit out for 24 hrs and that calmed down. I’ve been using it to make some CD blends more palatable to my tastes. The result is wonderful. I wonder what it would be like to blend this with Sutliffe’s Red Ribbon.

    PC Has Burley London

    Got some! Been wanting to try this for a while. Never thought I'd get the chance. Smoking some Golden Extra this week and wondering how this compares.

    Prince Albert, in a Cob, with a filter... how did I get here?

    I have some Old Joe Krantz as well but it's taking me some time to get into it and I'm not there yet. Plan to keep trying. And might add some PA or CH to it for some sweetness. Thanks for the Recs. Have some Sav 6mm balsam filters, Wessex Burley, and HH Burley Kake in the mail. Still need to...
