    Canadian Maple from House of Calabash - Tobaccos by Steven Books

    Yes, Steve's blends have given me pleasure for years. He is anything but new to this art and has a talent for creative blends that draw from long history of associations and experiences. Offering blends that give choices for big or small tobacco budgets, I've not found quality lacking whether...

    100% Latakia Blend and Meerschaum Question

    Soberania De Las Islas...

    Sovereignty of the Islands, blended by Antonio Petti of Sentimiento Nacional, is a full English and Winner of Contest of CAP-III MADRID 2010, for good reason. In a wild cut of bright and dark Virginias, Burley, Oriental varietals and Syrian Latakia, it's central component comes from Brazilian...

    Finally Got Everclear

    There is a way to drink Everclear straight without the burn. In my freshman year at college, a friend and I went to a home football game with a pint of Everclear. The plan was to add it to the Coke being sold by the vendors, so we would not bring undue attention to our drinking. The problem...

    Cleaning Amber

    I will use Everclear and Brebbia bit polish. Always use a small diameter Pipe cleaner. Never use a shank brush, bristled Pipe Cleaners or the big fluffy Pipe cleaners. Amber will shatter without warning, so be careful not to be in the least bit forceful.

    Pipe Cleaner Question

    The bristle Pipe cleaners, whether tapered or not have those plastic bristles, which scratch the draft and don't really work well. Tapered Pipe cleaners, whether they have bristles or not, have a taper to their diameter along the length of the Pipe cleaner. I use Everclear because it is a...

    Pipe Cleaner Question

    I use a lot of Pipe cleaners keeping these Meerschaums clean, so I keep a lot of them around. Here's my bias: cotton chenille is best... and strip the excess off with your fingers, so you don't get the fluff in the Pipe. Regular: the mainstay of the lot for me. They can be doubled over if I...

    Coloring a Mearshaum

    I'll start off with my own musings, which are what seems to me to be a cogent theory. Comment and divergent views are welcome, as this is a topic that interests many, but none seem to know much about. I've been giving some thought to the issues of flow dynamics as they relate to Meerschaum...
