    How Much do You Keep on Hand?

    IF they ban internet sales, then folks will simply have to call their favorite blenders and order via phone. If they ban phone orders, and since I live within 1 hour of 2 fantastic tobacconists (Watch City and Peretti's), I will have my new source of income as buyer and shipper. :)

    Asking For More Help on Pipe IDs.

    Eric Morecambe was a well-known British comedian and pipesmoker. And the West End of Morecambe had a few pipe shops back in the day and a number of "play houses" where Morecambe might have performed. I am sure none of this is relevant but here it is.....

    Pipe Tobacco And Alcohol

    I favor sweet iced tea and my pipes. I will on occasion drink a dram of Irish or Scotch but usually prefer tea. A close second is a water or coffee.

    The Ultimate Home Blend

    We have an ATF or IRS mole, methinks.

    Missouri Meerschaum Cornabis

    Bukowski === the anti-poet. I have all of his works...every volume. He pissed me off the first time I read him...but then I realized, his unique view of life was as much pointed at the mirror as it was at others in his corner of the world. His failure as a good mate is reflected in the...

    Missouri Meerschaum Cornabis

    Obviously not. It is difficult to keep up with the new blends hitting our tobacco world... I imagine pot has changed drastically since I was acquainted with its lovely character and odour.

    Missouri Meerschaum Cornabis

    I will wear that moniker....Once upon a time...a product of the 70s. LOL.

    Missouri Meerschaum Cornabis

    Why not? I hope they make a bundle. Every aspect of our industry, from tobacco to pipe makers, is under threat. Pot is becoming legal across the country. What is the big deal? It is a helluva less impactful than consuming the quantities of alcohol many here do....ahem, including myself.

    Missouri Meerschaum Cornabis

    Anyone who has partaken of the green leaf knows that this photo has absolutely nothing to do with the effects of said green leaf. The activity in this video snippet requires far too much energy to be exerted. Now if you had them lying in a mud puddle, staring at the rain as it hit them in the...

    What are You Reading Now?

    Reading "The invention of God: the natural origins of mythology and religion" is a slog of writing but the premise is spot on. And, rereading "The Command of the Ocean: 1649-1815". And I have started "Some assembly required".

    Warning Regarding Mylar Bag Storage

    I use mylar bags only for bulk. I have found that I can vacuum seal aromatics, the few that I smoke, and simple seal other bulks so that there is a bit of oxygen to be consumed before the aging process goes anaerobic. I never seal tins. At less than 100 pounds in my cellar, I can quickly...

    Frog Morton Cellar vs Early Morning Pipe

    Oh, and EMP is nothing like FMC to my tastes.

    Frog Morton Cellar vs Early Morning Pipe

    A close approximation of FMC is to soak some small charred oak chunks in your favorite whiskey, let it dry enough that it isn't soaking wet, place in a large mylar bag or one of the largest ball jars to which you add 1 pound of Sutliff aromatic English or better, Country squire hunting creek...

    Pipe and Tobacco Myths

    We drank "BullDawgs" as a teen. Schlitz Malt Liquor Bull and MD2020. It was our form of a boilermaker. Or we simply chased the MD with the Bull. I think I may have broken some cosmic law by puking purple spaghetti in a far larger quantity than I had actually eaten. The headache that...

    Pipe and Tobacco Myths

    If you are going to use honey, only use Doom Bloom Honey. It is salty, smokey honey that is like no other. A must-try,...either with a crumpet, biscuit, or toast...or even to coat your naked pipe bowl. Honey connoisseurs should run to try this stuff.

    Best Way to Smoke Old Joe Krantz?

    Wood stoves work well but a traditional fireplace may be as good. Just throw the tin in...but remove the plastic top.
