    Navy Blends

    The term 'Navy', as used in the tobacco industry, started back in the days of wind driven ships. Sailors preferred Plugs and Rope cuts of the blends they smoked, since they were able to carry them on their person, not having to rely on finding a hiding place for them, and they could carry...

    Bad luck or bad product

    Let us know what the result of your inquiry is. This is a problem for a few of my Meerschaums as well. The way I deal with it is to apply graphite from a wooden pencil to the tenon. This lubricates the joint and reduces the risk of breaking the bit and/or the shank. I also use this trick...

    Need Help: Stubborn Tobacco

    A number of good points have already been made in this thread, but one that has happened to me is of a different character. When you've tried drying it out, smoking it in different Pipes, letting it age and even adding a bit of Perique and it still bites like a dog, then it just might be...

    Best Burley?

    For me, Burley blends offer another dimension to Pipe smoking. Mac Baren's Burley London Blend, which is a White Burley with a little Virginia leaf for sweetness is a good one. Peretti's Burley Cut Plug is another, with likely the least topping of any Burley blend on the market. Wessex Burley...

    Suggested Enhancement of Security for Profiles

    What information I post can be found in the local telephone directory. There are plenty of safeguards about anything else, so being cautious is something I've always thought to be a good idea.

    Bad Day at Black Rock

    Yep, these marvels of technology are great, when they work. The process you have to go thru to get information & service are designed to frustrate you, so that buying a new one is a real option. Being an old codger in a global community has it's bright side..., the primitive technology...

    Kingfisher tins (Butera)

    You're welcome Sparroa. Yes, tins in general can be a problem with a good seal, once they are open. One solution is to jar a blend once the tin is open. I prefer to augment the seal on the tin instead, which is more convenient with a large open rotation. Putting a slight cant to the sides...

    Kingfisher tins (Butera)

    The tins have never given me a problem, so they sit around for years in the cellar..., as long as I don't think about them.
