    PS English Luxury Review

    I always recommend Luxury English as an introduction to english blends. It's on the slightly milder/sweeter end of the spectrum and there is no chance of bite. It's a lovely blend at a great value.

    Stem Tape?

    NWPipesmoker on YouTube is a fan of vinyl tubing. Haven't tried it because it's out of stock at my local hardware store.

    Rouxgaroux Time Again… Who Bought Some?

    I'm stocked up from last year so I waited a few hours so the newcomers could get a chance at it. It was still available so I went for 8oz and some OD.

    Mylar Thickness

    Ah, good point there. My 7mil bags have a shiny, almost plastic-like coating over the foil...or so it seems. The imposter bags have a matte finish more akin to foil.

    Mylar Thickness

    So my favorite US-based mylar manufacturer is out of stock at the moment. I ordered some 9mil bags off of Amazon that seemed too good to be true...and I was right. The "9mil" bag is significantly thinner than my existing 7mil bags...probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 3mil maybe 5mil. My...

    A Sober Realisation

    I've run into exactly one pipe smoker out in the wild and it was just a few weeks ago. I made sure to approach him and let him know it was a welcome sight. It was at the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, he was an older gentleman smoking Orlik. We had a nice chat and I invited him to these forums...

    Pegasus: Love for One Blend

    I'm not big into burley but I gave Pegasus a shot based on everyone's high opinion of it. It's certainly better to my tastes than any of the OTC burleys. There was zero tongue bite and some nice nutty, bready notes. It's too soon to render a verdict but so far I'm left wanting more.

    Tinsky’s Christmas 2021 Pipes Revealed

    Ya, I think a lot of websites miss this aspect. They should all use a "banana for scale."

    Fun Blending Your Own

    I've heard some guys mention a mix they dubbed "Black and Blue". 50/50 Balkan Blue and Black House. I might mix up a batch and try it soon.

    2100% Increase On Pipe Tobacco Date?

    I don't want to admit it, but you're probably right. Anyone have any ideas on how this might affect trades/private sales? Do you think the prices will be adjusted based on market rates?

    Show Off Your Jack-O'-Lanterns!

    Awesome! Too funny that it's already smashed. I didn't trust my four year old to carry her pumpkin to the porch. She's still too clumsy haha.

    Capstan & Tolkien

    Have a first date with the Blue this weekend. It's been on my list but I never got around to it. I will say that it's probably my favorite looking tin. Classic.
