    Do You Have a Preference As To Buying Flake In Bulk Or Tins?

    By the time jars are purchased, I often wonder if it's a false economy, the whole bulk vs tins debate. Sure, the jars are forever yours, but I don't know what I'll do with all these jars when they're emptied of their contents! Having said that, I do love opening a box of bulk flake and...

    Newer Samuel Gawtih FVF

    I bought some 2013 FVF from a well respected member here that has no codes on it either. I think I recall late 2013 being the introduction of the stick on date labels... but please,don't take my recollection for fact, as even the source may have been wrong.

    How Can I Make Flakes Burn More Evenly?

    Personally, I don't mind at all having to dump some ash, scrape the sides and tamp gently. It's like being around the campfire and having to tend to it, and keep it burning with the pace and vigor you want.... I actually find it quite relaxing and a bit of the pipe smokers ritual that I...

    Pipe prices after a tobacco ban

    When I was in the US last month, there were jars and tins of tobacco on open display, and people smoking, enjoying the atmosphere...and prices were dirt cheap (compared to what I'm used to...) Reminded me of how things used to be here in the mid 90's. And I think Pipestud's business will prosper...

    Pipe prices after a tobacco ban

    ...as a non-US resident (who travels to the US regularly) I can tell you that the US has most relaxed tobacco laws in the first world. If and when bans actually come into force around the world, the US will be last advanced country to jump on the bandwagon. The US is currently about 20 years...

    FDA Regulations Killing the Small Man?

    Here in Australia, there is clear directive to get rid of all tobacco. A lot of you understand that there are huge taxes in other countries... But I think few truly understand how huge they really are. The Tex on a 50gram tin is now over $70 here....and set into law to rise a minimum of 12.5%...

    Interesting Ash and Dottle Experience

    I find the same as the OP... however I find that it tastes much better when dump a heavy ash layer and then relight. Personally, I choose taste over accomplishment.

    How Many Times?

    I have found that whilst I like a new pipe for each bowl, that those times I don't change pipe - the following smokes can be absolutely brilliant. In fact, more often than not, every time I have had one of those 'nirvana' smokes it was in a pipe that I had used earlier in the day. It's nearly...

    Esoterica people

    Do you think it's because the quality / blend isn't as good as it used to be?

    Esoterica people

    I don't even live in the USA... And I pay retail prices for Esoterica... And no, I don't have to work to hard to find it.

    Esoterica people

    If you want it to cost more from the manufacturer / retailer.... Then it sounds like you are comfortable with the price the secondary market charges - so just buy it there. Let us people getting it current prices do so. Your logic is flawed... You want It to cost more so that it is more readily...

    Wessex Brigade Campaign Dark Flake First Impressions

    The fact that the tin description is word for word the same as the Classic Virginia indicates an error somewhere. Is it just different presentation in the tin... is it a different blend.... If so, which blend is superior.... So many questions.....

    Wessex Brigade Campaign Dark Flake First Impressions

    Great photos and thankyou, npod! Looks awesome. Interesting the label descriptions for the Classic, and the Campaign are the same.

    Wessex Brigade Campaign Dark Flake First Impressions

    It would be great to get Arango to comment on this... 2 different blends with the exact same tin description... doesn't sound right!

    Wessex Brigade Campaign Dark Flake First Impressions

    Interesting, Peck. I checked my tin of Campaign Dark and it definitely has the same description. Arango also has the Campaign description as: My tin has flake slices, not ready rubbed flake as the Classic Virginia would. Definitely starting to,suspect something wrong with the labeling, rather...
