    How To Restore A Dawes And Ball Pipe Knife/Tool

    Ok, will not touch. My OCD was working me over a bit regarding a few oxidized spots.

    How To Restore A Dawes And Ball Pipe Knife/Tool

    I have a 1930s D&B pipe tool with a case made of nickel. I am sure many of you are more than familiar. Can I polish the nickel with something like Simichrome? Or do you have a better recommendation?

    Jim's Sutliff Cringle Flake (Holiday Edition 2020) Review.

    Will this be available from all of the standard retailers (SPs, P&C, TP, etc.) or is this going to be a specific release for one or 2 of the retailers?

    Aromatic Pipe Tobacco Suggestions For Christmas And The Winter Season Please

    It is ok if you slip it slowly. Definitely not one to hoover. I like it mixing with a bit of raspberry.

    How Much Tobacco You Buy on Each Order

    It helps to support the B&Ms. I have been hitting Perettis at least once a month and always walk out with a pound of something. Watch City, I just discovered, is only 20 minutes or so from Peretti.... Will be visiting them soon. Both are only 1.25 hrs from me, more or less.

    How Much Tobacco You Buy on Each Order

    Enough to get free shipping is my minimum these days. With the wife losing her job to Covid, orders are sporadic.

    How Many Tins Of Flakes Do You Considered Cellared In Your Collection.

    I look at all of these posts and realize how much time I missed between my ex-wife's destruction of my pipes and now. I might have the equivalent of 30 tins of Flakes, all blends combined. It sucks, truly.

    What Are You Listening To? ~ Nov. 2020

    Insomnia! Listening to Brubeck and smoking some Loch Lomond in my biggest pot, sipping some water, listening to the river

    Has Anyone Tried KB Yoshimi's Izmer?

    This was helpful. Very good explanation. Thanks.

    Aromatic Pipe Tobacco Suggestions For Christmas And The Winter Season Please

    Lane Vanilla Black Cavendish mixed 1:3 with Rattrays Exotic Orange. I find the Sutliff Christmas blend, and the Halloween blend, overly heavy on cloves.

    Has Anyone Tried KB Yoshimi's Izmer?

    Sounds right inside my wheelhouse for "aromatics". But I still confuse topping with casing. Thanks for the review. I missed it at TR.

    Has Anyone Tried KB Yoshimi's Izmer?

    I did pull the trigger on this and I do appreciate a subtle bit of topping but rose and strawberry could easily overwhelm. I like Sakura, contrary to some, because of its light approach using cherry blossom and the fact it tastes like tobacco. Hoping this one matches the subtlety.

    Good Va-Per Tobacco

    Viprati - the most disrespected or over-looked VaPer on the planet.

    Jim's Sutliff Cringle Flake (Holiday Edition 2020) Review.

    I wrote Kritek and complained. Glad they listened to all of the complaints. In any case, happy they deleted my review as well since I have not tried the VaOriental.

    Jim's Sutliff Cringle Flake (Holiday Edition 2020) Review.

    I admittedly, without trying the blend either, wrote an opposite review to counter his review and call him out for his bullshit post. Not that it works that way. But still, that site needs an active administrator. There are reviews of 1 for blends simply because someone did not like the tin...

    Jim's Sutliff Cringle Flake (Holiday Edition 2020) Review.

    Agree. But that site should also not be a forum for someone to vent their jealousy or dislike of someone else. No way to defend against accusations and abusive comments.
