    Smoking Prohibited at County Fair

    It's the World we live in dominated by people who no longer believe in individual freedoms and individual choice. Politicians from either major Political Party are willing to sacrifice individual freedom for popular opinions and campaign contributions! All Smoking Bans are politically-driven...

    How do you know what pipe tobacco has additives?

    photoman13, I agree with Mick. His remarks are in agreement with what I have experienced. About the only thing that I can add is that plastic bag "bulk" tobacco's in stores have a great price point but the ones I have tried are heavily laden with PG to preserve shelf-life. Some folks really...

    How do you know what pipe tobacco has additives?

    Good answers have been given here. About all I can add is that the anti-fungal agent used by C&D is necessary especially in Flake tobacco due to the high moisture required to press and slice. Other than that, C&D uses distilled water and food-grade flavorings...

    John Rolfe-Peach Brandy tobacco

    I certainly remember this blend and I thought it was very good. I am age 62 and remember those very special blends from many years past. By the way, a good substitute, in my opinion, is Cornell and Diehl's #403 Peach Brandy...

    What's in your big jar?

    I have three. They are the three I created with Craig Tarler's help. So, I have three one-pound tins of them in use at all times and smoke all three every day in dedicated pipes. But, it always seems that the pound tin of Captain Bob's Blend vanishes at a slightly higher rate than the other...

    Great News for Pipe Tobacco!

    Wisconsin jumped ahead of every other State when the FTCA passed. If you buy pipe tobacco made in Wisconsin, in Wisconsin, it will cost you upwards of $80 for fourteen ounces! We have a 71% excise tax here on tobacco blended in Wisconsin and sold in Wisconsin. So, I no longer buy Uhle's great...

    Great News for Pipe Tobacco!

    What is significant is that this Bill adresses RYO specifically and leaves us alone, for now. The FTCA Act that is law, still stands. This may be a meaningful distinction for the future, or it may bring them just one-step closer to implementing the attack on pipe tobacco as the Act prescribes...

    Creating your own flavour

    If you are really serious about adding an aromatic sauce to tobacco, I recommend that you use at the least a tobacco labled "non-aromatic". At best, I strongly recommend that you purchase "blending tobaccos". These are available on the www.cornellanddiehl.com site or you can request it from...

    Life Insurance for Pipe Smokers

    A life insurance policy is contestable for misrepresentation for twenty-four months following the issue date. Even if you died an accidental death, they can deny a claim on any basis for misrepresentation. Although, in forty-one years of bring an agent, I've not seen that happen. Keep in mind...

    Creating your own flavour

    Get yourself a spray bottle. There are numerous flavors available in the spice isle at the grocery store. Spray any flavor that appeals to you such as orange, maple, vanilla, cherry etc. Use it full strength. That is how I got started...
