    Does smoking a pipe before bed help you sleep?

    I have no idea because I have never gone to bed without smoking the last pipe of the day! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Best Vanilla Aromatic

    Caution! If you like Vanilla Aromatics, do not try Cornell and Diehls (C&D's) Green River Vanilla. It is extremely addictive and in my opinion is top-shelf. And, I know the secret to the blend. Although, I cannot reveal the contents of the sauce, let's just say that it is the "honey" of...

    From aromatics to...?

    I strongly agree with JUD. Don't toss a blend without giving it a "time-warp" chance. Label it and close it up in a jar for a while and then re-visit it. Always give your pipes a chance to dry. Keep them clean and don't "sour" them by repeated smokes (like, one pipe all day). What you don't...

    Uhle's tobacco and other ?'s

    If you live outside of Wisconsin, ordering from Uhle's is a snap! Inside Wisconsin, we have to pay a 71% excise tax and Uhle's is virtually unaffordable at about $84.00 for 14 ounces (not even a pound!). That being said, I smoke two of Uhle's Blends. Bishop's Move and Golden Shag. I have...

    From aromatics to...?

    I agree with "rothnh". Those are great selections. The best advice is to not feel like you have to try very blend out there, as there are way too many! Make note of what you like and its tobacco ingredients. Chart a course from that point and move forward. Never hesitate to ask those on this...

    Making Your Own Mix

    mudshark, If I knew exactly what you bought, I could probably offer you some advice. If you want more info, post what it is you are smoking (name the product). __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Autumn Evening

    Autumn Evening is very moist in the tin. Just allow a bowl full to dry for an hour and then smoke it. It is a wonerful blend. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Autumn Evening

    It is a Red Virginia Cavendish (very smooth) and flavored with Maple. It is one of my favorites, too. I suggest you allow some drying time for your next try as it is quite moist out of the tin. And, try a very rested pipe for it...

    What Did You do Today?

    Flew the plane up North with a friend for a burger. Upon a perfect landing, lowered the nosewheel and it went flat! Two and a half hours later, after towing the plane to the hangar on a dolly, we had a new tube in the tire. The tire was just fine. Then it was finally time for a burger and...

    Re-hydration

    Dryer is better than wetter! However, if you have an air-tight lid and the tobacco is already to dry, simply apply water to the inside of the lid (do not apply water directly to the tobacco). You may need to stir the tobacco and repeat this process. But, the result is that your tobacco will...

    Aeromatic Blend Suggestions

    Let me toss in my own C&D blend. A great aromatic containing a small amount of Latakia. Women love the aroma while you get a well rounded true tobacco taste of six great tobaccos. Go here for reviews... This is my own C&D Blend created with the assistance of the late Craig Tarler at C&D and...

    Perfect Tobacco Jars at Hobby Lobby

    I use these specific jars all the time to move tobacco from one-pound C&D tins to these jars for travel. They are great. I bought mine online. Don't remember where from. But, I have a lot of them. Great for weekend travel and to-and-fro, for the office, where I keep a few full-at-hand all...

    Recomendations For Someone Crossing Over From Aro's to Va's

    Belgian Mick, You are correct. There is a miniscule amount of Plum, Rum & Maple in Two Friends Heritage to bring out the sweetness of the Virginia's. As with virtually all blends, aro and non-aro alike, there is flavoring. However, it is "degree of flavoring" that sets the distinction between...
