    This may be a dumb Question, Pipe Insurance?

    I'll set the record straight since I am President (and sole Owner) of an Independent Insurance Agency for 40 years. Your homeowners insurance will cover your "Personal Property" anywhere in the World for the "Perils" insured against which does not include "breakage" or "losing" the pipe. If...

    How do you store your tobacco...?

    All great ideas... whatever works best for you is what I say! Air is the enemy of tobacco. Keep the air out off of it and you will be just fine.

    How do you store your tobacco...?

    Big and little Mason jars. I buy my tobacco in bulk and store it in the larger jars and move it to the smaller jars and sometimes a day-pouch. The more you open your jars, the more fresh air you let in to dry your tobacco. Thus 8-ounce (quart) jars to 2-ounce jars is my method. A day-pouch...

    I am Having an Issue With Pipe Flotsam

    Jud is right on the money with his remarks above. Sometimes it will happen if the tobacco is too fine. You might try filling your pipe and before you light it, run a cleaner through it to make sure the airway is not blocked. Also, if it happens at the end of your smoke, the bowl is finished...

    You're on a desert island

    A Sherlock Holmes movie and a CD by Whitney Houston! On second thought, the movie maybe should be "Fatal Attraction" if there are any female natives on the Island!

    Something to Think About

    I respect all of your opinions... But, I do have facial hair and I am afraid of guns! However, I am not afraid of steep downhill skiing on Expert ski runs! (Scary, isn't it?) click on pic to enlarge, if you dare...

    Deertongue

    By the way, Craig Tarler of C&D has confirmed for me that the only flavor additive in GC is "Deer-Tongue" and nothing else as far as flavoring. In my opinion, this is a "natural aromatic blend". If you try it, please use a pipe dedicated to only this blend as it will "ghost-flavor" your pipe...

    This Forum is so cool! Thanks again, for the kind words and re-welcome. You all are great. It is fantastic to have a lady in our midst! I am truly honored, Cyndi! Mick, in answer to your question, there are two ways to get "Captain Bob's Pot O' Gold Mixture". The easiest, is to call C&D...

    Usinq Mason Jars for Bulk Tobacco

    Mick,no difference between Ball and Mason jars. Not necessary to seal the jar with wax. Leaving a quarter inch of space at the top is just fine. It is more a matter of how tightly packed your jar is. I fill the jar to the top and then press gently. Fill again and press gently again. You...

    Tobacco Moisture.

    Ok, for what it is worth, 15% moisture is ideal. Good luck in figuring that one out! You would have to weigh the tobacco dry and untreated. Then, weigh it after the moisture has been applied. Don't bother! If the tobacco is just beginning to clump when pinched, it is probably perfect...

    1Q

    You can't knock success! Lane hit a jack-pot with this blend. It is sold by B&M's all across the country under hundreds of different names. It is a fine light, attractive and satisfying aromatic. You really can't go wrong with it. There are also many others as mentioned that I agree with...

    Half And Half, First Time

    I smoked H&H for 19 years exclusively before I got interested in blending in a serious way. H&H has stood the test of time! I respect it. However, it is so loaded with PG (Propylene Glycol, a preservative to extend shelf life) that I can't tolerate the goopy-dottle it leaves behind, anymore...

    Deertongue

    Fr. Tim, Go for it. However, I will offer some advice. Deer-Tongue will "ghost-flavor" a pipe. Therefore, I suggest you use a "separate" pipe for it (dedicated pipe). If you enjoy it, you can dedicate that pipe to it. I have two pipes dedicated to Gentleman Caller by C&D. Personally, it is...

    Usinq Mason Jars for Bulk Tobacco

    Just use a clean jar at room temperature and screw the lid on tight. Don't worry about it. For tobacco to age it must have some air. I just fill my jars to the top and press most of the air out of them with my knuckes as the jar becomes full. Then I screw the lid on tight and everything is...

    Thank you all for the kind words. I was a member of My-Pipes.net for several years and subscribed to only that Forum. But, that Forum was discontinued. Very sad, indeed. I was invited to join the PipeChat Forum. I was feeling pretty good about the welcome. However, the Mods over there gave...
