    Buying from Ebay and using what i buy.

    A good cleaning is all that is needed, so buy your pipes off the bay, clean it well and enjoy without worries, I do it all the time, and have been for years. I do have a machine that disinfects by the use of small bubbles, (I can't think of the name of it now) and I will use that, but that is...

    My 3rd aged aromatic

    I just had to pop open this jar of RLP-6 to see how well it is aging, and I am not disappointed at all. I liked it before, and IMO, it has only improved with a two year age. So this makes the third aromatic I've popped open to test, and so far all of the aromatics are aging wonderfully. I have...

    Capt.Blk. aged for 2 years

    Yes, the mind does at times play an important role in how we perceive things, however, I didn't have any preconceived ideas on this one way or the other, it just plain tastes so much better. It is akin to having a hamburger, and then later having a T-bone steak, and then someone saying to...

    Capt.Blk. aged for 2 years

    I hate to differ with Mr. Pease, but I'm smoking the aged Capt. Blk. right now. So whether it will or will not according to theory, it actuality, it did.

    Capt.Blk. aged for 2 years

    I just looked at it very, very carefully using a magnifying glass and a flashlight, I didn't see any bloom, or any white dust or anything like that at all. Perhaps if it had aged longer bloom may have become an issue, but at this stage it is not, so I'm just going to enjoy it..hey and if it...

    Capt.Blk. aged for 2 years

    I aged it out of its original package, and place it into a mason jar with a tight fitting lid, you know the type with the rubber seal....I then placed that into a locked case, and stored it in the back of my clothes closet. When I went to open the jar, I had to use quite a bit of force to pry...

    Capt.Blk. aged for 2 years

    I don't know about what 'they' say about aromatics not aging properly, I never was one to listen very well to opinions anyway, however, I did store it very, very well and locked it up in a case as well...I don't see any mold, in fact it looks better than it did when I first stored it. All the...

    Capt.Blk. aged for 2 years

    I just opened up my mason jar of Capt. Black that I've had aging for two years, placed some in my favorite pipe..(1947 Kaywoodie), and I am now smoking some of the smoothest, tastiest tobacco I've experienced in a long time. My only regret is that I only aged one small package of it, now I will...

    For the Coffee Heads

    I live in South Florida, so we are inundated with Hispanic coffees, so I've tried Cafe' Bustelo before and it is okay in my espresso machine, but I still just like a good old fashioned cup of either Maxwell House, 8 O'Clock, or Chock Full o' Nuts coffee made in an old Aluminum percolator...

    How many times

    I must smoke about several bowls a day. I smoke my pipe pretty much all day long with perhaps an hour or so break between light ups. What I usually do is to light the pipe and smoke it until it goes out, then I'll put it down for awhile and light up again in about a half hour or so....if the...

    3 things I learned to improve my pipe smoking experience

    I do all three also, except for dipping the pipe cleaner in Rum, I just run it through dry, although I like that idea, and I think I'll try it. I once in a great while will wipe the bowl very gingerly with a slightly twisted paper towel, but not all the time that's for sure. Also I agree to only...

    questions from a young smoker

    I'm somewhat of a coffee snob, I usually only drink perked coffee, and it must be perked in an aluminum pot. Having said that let me say that Nescafe' tasters choice instant is not bad at all. I never thought that I would be recommending an instant coffee, however, if you have no way in which...

    July 2011 - What are you Smoking?

    The past few days I've been smoking Lane's 1Q in either an old Savinelli billiard, or my Peter Fischer meer. Edit: Paul Fischer...not Peter.
