    What Blend do You Hate?

    Autumn Evening. I'm sure I'd like the tobacco... but I detest whatever unholy goop they soaked it in.

    Newby News - Various VaPer’s

    First, thanks for sharing the journey, enjoyable thread. I'd suggest VaPerBur's often need gentle sipping and not much else. Even if that means many relights stick to sipping very light. Some have potential for quite an experience but it can be missed if too much smoke is visible while...

    Blends that Pair Well with Black Coffee

    Blends with good to excellent tobacco go great with black coffee.

    Lakeland(s)

    Stonehenge is nice in my few Lakeland pipes, and non Lakelands for that matter, since it's very mild on the sauce.

    Remembrance Cigars

    Building up positive memories for those close to him, well done, and sorry for your loss.

    Shout Out to Iwan Ries For Great Service

    Several orders here and always top shelf service. On my bucket list to visit the B&M store once, or several times, as well.

    Relighting a Half-smoked Bowl.

    I do it often. As said it depends on the blend, dump ash, run pipe cleaner for moisture etc... Sometimes that cooled remaining portion is more than OK it's great. Very different than relighting a cigar cooled for a couple hours.

    Solani Silver Flake.

    Nice review... But Solani Silver Flake is generally terrible stuff, doesn't age well. Best just to move along, nothing to see here. ;-)

    Your Cellar Size

    Answering for a "friend." ;) About 96 pounds (spreadsheet tracked). Based on a couple tins a month max this plus another 10-20 pounds should do me well into my 90's. Deeming scares, blend market losses, blend changes, blend scarcity all played a part in feeding a somewhat addictive...

    Did I Over Dry It?

    Extra humectants added to pouch versions? I'm just wondering also, so not an answer.

    First Time Smoked Boswells North Woods

    Agree, but only for the Across the Pond or whatever it's called as that's the only one I tried. I really enjoy the rich, deep, smokey, sweetness of Northwoods. Right now I'm on a Virginia, VaBur, VaPer, Lakeland kick so English is limited until ...?.?.

    Anyone Tamp With a Finger?

    Frequently, to original post... No to other 'tamper types' thrown in.

    If You Could Only Keep One...

    If only one tin and not one blend then Autumn Evening. It's so bad I'll smoke it briefly and wonder why I ever liked smoking a pipe. It'd be my 'cold-turkey' therapy.

    Aged Solani Silver Flake Not The Same

    Safely in jars in the closet. lovely tangy, plummy, stuff now. Here's hoping anyway.

    Aged Solani Silver Flake Not The Same

    Some stashed 6 month's to year here...

    Director's Cut

    No experience pre 2016/17. All I know is I enjoy Louisiana Broken and Old Fredders current iteration 2019/20 more than Directors Cut. Louisiana Broken got the edge as to my palate it had more going on but both are multiple repeat purchases. I will be trying Directors Cut again after Feb to...

    Your Favorite Tobacco Discovery of 2021

    Wow tough to narrow down but I'd say Watch City Slices and Solani Silver.

    Flameproof / Noncombustible Blends?

    For me it's this^^^ including microwave or literally over night/all day drying.
