    TAD Purchases

    The tins are en route Pstlpkr. I'll get back with impressions of McClelland Anniversary 2010, as I'm anxious to try it as well. Although both the '02 and the '05 issues are good, to me the '02 issue stands above the '05, which is a stellar blend just the same. The difference I find is...

    Pipe Smoker Survey 2010

    It took me about 10 minutes..., maybe less. Considering that it was a multiple choice format, it covered the topic(s) well, with few omissions and points of ambiguity. It will be good to see the results.

    TAD Purchases

    The recent order has been for 6 tins of 2010 McClelland Anniversary. I'm a big fan of the '02 and '05 issues and anticipate enjoying this one as well. For me, this is certainly among the best blends McClelland's has produced. I wouldn't mind if it became a yearly tradition, like Christmas...

    Serious question.Has pipe smoking changed with time?

    For a good source of information, in likely the most exhaustive and comprehensive effort to date, I recommend reading: Tobacco: A Cultural History of How an Exotic Plant Seduced Civilization, by Iain Gately Iain has also been part of the History Channel's documentary on this same subject, and...

    Serious question.Has pipe smoking changed with time?

    Yes, Pipe smoking continues to evolve, which has given us more choices than what someone chooses to stock at the local B&M or drug store. The way we use, maintain and acquire Pipes and blends has evolved as a result of increased communication and access. In my lifetime, Ed Kolpin's...

    Smoking outdoors during winter.

    Strongirish is correct about the sudden temperature change that can crack Meerschaum Block. Awhile back, I read the post of another cold weather Meerschaum smoker, who reported that his Pipe colored a mottled grey after smoking the Pipe, from start to finish in -4 deg Fahrenheit (-20 deg...

    Musky Smell? And I Don\'t Mean The Old Men In The Room

    Another method of deep cleaning a Briar is to use the alcohol and a retort. This can produce dramatic results and is something that professional services also employ.
