    Have We Seen The Last Of Gawith Blends In The USA?

    ChuckW, you are the rumor terminator! Here's what Premal Chedda had to say on the issue... On Friday, I spoke to the importer "Phillips & King" and the only information so far on SG blends is that SG had a packaging problem which has delayed shipments, and they cannot produce enough for the...

    Have We Seen The Last Of Gawith Blends In The USA?

    Yes, I was not aware of a problem with this... I've sent inquiry as follows: I have read that the FDA insists that exporters to the US disclose the ingredients of tobacco products before they can come into the country. As I enjoy smoking a good number of your blends, I'm concerned that this...

    Pipe Tobacco Containers = Best ? Suggestions ?

    That's a great looking canister Juozapas. Where did you find it? I'm using glass-on-glass bail top jars.

    Cracked meerschaum pipe

    There are no inherent weak spots in the Egg in Claw style that I'm aware of. I prefer to use a Pipe tool to dislodge the remnants of a smoke from the bowl's chamber. 'Knocking' a Pipe leads to damage sooner or later, such as the tenon snaps off and remains in the shank, and/or the shank...

    Cracked meerschaum pipe

    I'd be careful about using an epoxy, as I'm not sure what compounds would be released in the smoke. The cracks that you've described will get a lot of heat from the smoke. Another issue to be considered is the differences in heat expansion. Likely, this Pipe will be like trying to plug a...

    Cracked meerschaum pipe

    This is not good. Since I don't know anything about the Pipe or it's origin, there's not much to comment on. This can happen with Pressed Block, low quality Block, or failure to take care of the Pipe. You can smoke it until it falls apart, but there really is no fix for this problem...

    Villiger 1888: Early Day

    I've just been given a couple of bowls of this blend - straight from the IPCPR event. The tin description is: Mature golden Virginias blended with Oriental leaf and Latakia from the Balkan region. The rich share of Latakia makes this blend a true English classic with a characteristic smoky room...

    The Breath Smoking Technique

    This technique is worth the effort to learn... Greg has a good essay on it. http://www.glpease.com/Articles/BreathSmoking.html This is something that I was doing before I knew there was a name for it. I've always thought that it was just part of Pipe smoking.

    Cures for nicotine nausea?

    I'm not a nicotine heavyweight, so the best tact for me is to use small bowls with blends that I know are strong. When you feel the nicotine effects begin, you can always set the bowl down and come back to it later. Keeping a beverage and some snacks handy will also help. Once you go over...

    September 2010 - What are you smoking?

    Thanks Krgulick. I acquired that Canadian as an unsmoked estate Pipe. It's from Ed Kolpin's, the founder of Tinderbox, collection and is one of Bekler's best works. For now, it's Red Rapparee in Baki's Horn. Best to all. http://pipesmagazine.com/members/fred/album/picture/535
