What Tinned McClelland Virginias Do You Guys Like?
Any of you fellows have any experience with the Dominican Glory series? I have a tin of one of them that just hit 12 years in age, but as I recall all the reviews that I read on those was none too favorable. For the record, I fully endorse smoking cotton candy in ones pipe. :mrgreen:- matchstickman

What Tinned McClelland Virginias Do You Guys Like?
Thinking of putting an order in and giving some tinned McClelland Virginias a whirl. My experience is limited with the brand; I think the only two tinned McClelland Virginias that I have tried were the Mature Virginia Navy Cavendish and the Virginia Woods. The Navy Cavendish wasn't bad, the...- matchstickman

When your down to the last 25% in the bowl?
I usually have to fuss with my smokes so much to get them ready the way I like them that I feel like this would be more work than I would want to put in, but I could see how that could be handy, especially in my bigger bowl pipes. I have, however, layered smokes before with the intent of...- matchstickman

Starting a stockpile/cellar
However you decide to start a cellar, don't listen to Peck or Harris. Those two amateurs have no idea what they're doing. :mrgreen: Also, Harris, I want dibs on smoking that flip flop if you're not going to get around to it anytime soon.- matchstickman

When your down to the last 25% in the bowl?
No, damnit! If you don't smoke every last little fleck of tobacco to a powdery ash then you're doing it wrong and it was all for naught and you are the worst pipe smoker ever! :mrgreen: I kid, I kid. In all honesty, it is dependent on the blend for me, but with most I usually wind up with a...- matchstickman

The Condor Has Landed!!
Really looking forward to trying Condor some day. I've heard that it packs a hell of a nicotine wallop, and I'm all about nicotine, so this stuff sounds right up my alley. Wish it wasn't so damn hard to find.- matchstickman

Different Packing Methods and Different Tobaccos
There was a time when I would have written this off as nonsense, but smoking for a long time with a tongue that was scorched as all hell has taught me otherwise. I recall a certain piece of advice from someone on the forums many months ago (I wish I could give credit but I don't remember who it...- matchstickman

pipe cleaning. help needed...
I seem to recall a certain dastardly individual who posts on a certain magnificent pipe forum who wrote a certain marvelous article on how you can get those stems to a certain amazing shine without the use of power tools, a few simple items and a lot of elbow grease... Yeah, it was me. I am that...- matchstickman

Sobranie, Saseini, White Knight, and me
It almost embarrasses me to admit that White Knight somehow kind of fell off my radar, me being the latakia whore that I am. Based on this review, I will have to pick up a tin and give it a try. I smoked Balkan Sasieni many a moon ago, I think it was the first Latakia blend I smoked if I...- matchstickman

Maintaining A Good Smoke
This is the reason that I have to plan some smokes according to season now. In the heart of America, in the summertime, when it is super muggy outside, I can leave tobacco tins in the open for weeks and they are still as moist as the day I bought them. Really moist flakes like Irish Flake...- matchstickman

Maintaining A Good Smoke
Every last piece of this advice is very sound and mirrors a lot of the same technique that I use. I would like to add a couple of extra tips if I may: 1.) Practice "breath" smoking (I'll see if I can dig up the link to the article here in a bit), the most important aspect of this being to VERY...- matchstickman
