Opening A Tin? Show Us!
Here is a tin of St. James Flake from the recent batch at smokingpipes.com. I bought two tins to see if it’s a cellar-worthy blend. I’ve only had two bowls so far so it’s too early to say.- tmc

Question for the Guitar Players
Is the end pin coming out of the guitar, or is the strap coming off the pin? I use a similar leather strap on my guitars and it’s secure. I’ve had it on there for 6 years without taking it off at this point. Maybe a heavier leather strap would hold better. I prefer narrow leather straps that...- tmc

2024 Cringle Flake in a Ligne Bretagne prince earlier. Here’s a closer look at the blast. Now I’m finishing a bowl of St. James Flake in a Wessex Canadian that just earned beater status after being launched off my tailgate when I closed it. I found it in on the ground sitting upright...- tmc

Nice. I just listened to the podcast episode about the Kearvaig Pipe Club. I’ll have to give this one a try if I ever see it in stock.- tmc

Ah, That McClellands Smell
The one thing they definitely did a superior job at was packaging. The recent post of a tin of Christmas Cheer on the opening a tin thread makes me miss that level of care and attention in packaging. The descriptions and illustrations on the cards in the tins seem to be a thing of the past. All...- tmc

***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***
Finishing a bowl of chum bucket mix in a Wessex Canadian. I’ve lost track of the contents and ratios of my leftovers jar, but it’s all of the virginias and vapers of late. Somehow the last two bowls out of it have been excellent in terms of taste and smokability. The previous bowl was a one...- tmc

Ah, That McClellands Smell
Interesting. It’s probably safe to assume all leaf is treated with this or similar preservatives/fungicides by the farmers. You say it was used, is something else used now instead of sodium diacetate? https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Acetic-acid_-sodium-salt-_2_1#section=Uses- tmc

Ah, That McClellands Smell
Thanks for the info. I’m still working my way through the back catalog, but only 2 episodes away from the Mike McNeil episode. That’s what I was getting at. The use of acetobacter applied to the curing tobacco to start/aid fermentation resulting in the acidic vinegar aroma vs. a sugar and...- tmc

Ah, That McClellands Smell
Is it possible that McClelland also used vinegar in their process, or is that signature aroma exclusively the result of fermentation during aging? If the McClelland aroma was consistent enough to be a defining characteristic it seems likely that it was a result of their recipe and not a...- tmc
