    Which Bourbon For A Brit Newbie?

    My absolute favorite bourbon is Woodford Reserve Double Oaked. You want some heaven in a bottle... that's it in my opinion.

    Organizing Your Open Tobacco Tins

    Open tobacco is easy when you only keep a few blends in rotation. I have a jar in my pipe rack for my "all day blend" and then I keep a couple tins/mason jars on my table next to my desk. I have a handful of blends in my closet/cellar that are jarred and available for use, but they might as...

    Acrylic Stem Durability?

    I'm a clencher. While I like Vulcanite for the "softness", most of my primary rotation is Acrylic of some sort. Like Mike, I can't deal with the damn oxidation headache. As for chatter... I don't give a crap. I smoke my pipes to smoke them. I don't intend to sell them to the highest bidder, so...

    Hacker's Book Fibbed on Perique!

    Aint that the truth. I used to cringe when one of the guys that worked at my local B&M would start explaining tobacco blends to young guys coming in looking to smoke a pipe. At least 50% of the info was wrong, not to mention telling guys that PG soaked aromatics were the best blends to start out...

    New Yachtsman Plug health warning

    Great, so let's teach the kids about the negative effects of smoking by plastering porn all over the package. Brilliance in government right there. :roll:

    Aromatic Tobaccos And The Importance Of Room Note.

    I hated aromatics... well the goopy American ones that is. Wouldn't touch them, let alone put them in my pipe. Then one day I decided to do an experiment. Could I take a traditional American aromatic, ala BCA and mix it with enough of my Burley tobaccos to add strength, flavor and depth, but get...

    The (un)Official Pipes Magazine Secret Santa - 2016 Edition

    2015 Golden Days of Yore - 100% Pyore

    Heard great things about this blend. This years Christmas Blend is a home run as well. Glad you are enjoying it!

    What To Do About Mold In Unnamed Manufacturer Tins

    Yikes, I didn't mean to start a shit storm here. I simply was curious if anyone had experienced the problem in bulk and it had not been reported. As expected, SP.com addressed the issue for me and they are rectifying it.

    What To Do About Mold In Unnamed Manufacturer Tins

    Yep, I have full confidence they will resolve it, just a bit disappointing. Figured my bulk stuff was safe.

    What To Do About Mold In Unnamed Manufacturer Tins

    Not yet. Just found it tonight. I have every intention of giving them a shout tomorrow. Was just curious if anyone had issues with bulk at all.

    What To Do About Mold In Unnamed Manufacturer Tins

    Ok... dragging this one back up because I have a question. Since several of the other threads that were very specific got closed, I think this is the best place to get that question answered. I have a 3 lbs. of a blend that I know contains red VA. It was blended sometime in August. While...

    Rockwell smoked Edgeworth Ready Rubbed... not the executive mixture. Horse of a different color :D

    Yeah, no love here either. I haven't ordered a ton from them, but I've spent a few bucks. Oh well.

    Show me your Rack!

    Was just thinking the same thing when I was scrolling through the thread. All the dead picture links too... like they just went off the grid.

    Home blending

    I never bought the kit either, but I'm in total agreement with Anthony that it was a brilliant idea on the part of C&D. Blending has always been an intimidating prospect for many people. All the options, all the various quantities, keeping track of what you are doing, etc. etc. It's like...

    Chasing Smoke - Tongue Bite for Beginners

    This happens to me a lot. Like Tom said, sometimes just roll with it, sometimes a little light push works wonders. I'm usually in the light push camp. I think the key is to just move the tobacco from the edge toward center and not really tamp it. This should avoid over pack.

    Snow Coming Here In NY? Will They Be Right?

    I'll be in Cortland for Thanksgiving... looks like we might have some snow. Being born and raised in Buffalo, it was a bit of a letdown when I moved to Philly and realized they don't get much white stuff down here. When they do, everyone loses their mind.
