    Bulging Tin Question- Hal 'o' the Wind

    I have some tins (both the Rattray's kind, the C&D short round ones, and the little rectangular ones dating between 2005-08. Nary a problem with any of them. I sold quite a few via Pipestud from that same time period recently, and all passed inspection. I wouldn't worry too much about it...

    Throw out Disgusting Tobacco?

    I'm one to readily toss something I'm pretty sure I'm not going to like even if I set it aside or cellar it a while. It's not often, and I don't need it cluttering my cellar of things I know I do like. Especially since I'm slowly transitioning from a wide cellar to a deep cellar...

    ***What are You Smoking, April 2022?***

    G&H Brown Irish X (twist) in a Savinelli Riccio. Been a long time since I've been able to get ahold of some G&H ropes on my side of the pond.

    Overuse Of Acronyms Can Frustrate Newbies

    I'm retired military. I thought acronyms were required for all communications on all subjects.

    MLB What Do You Think?

    They're getting rid of the shift? How robotic are we trying to make this game?

    Don’t You Hate It When…

    I, for one, would like to hear the "how" story :)

    Jim's Drucquer and Sons Loch Ness Review.

    Great review, thanks Jim. I was waiting for your impressions before clicking on "check out" lol.

    Don’t You Hate It When…

    If you mean relighting after a long rest, I find I enjoy just about any bowl as well if not better after a DGT rest. I don't know why that is, but I don't question it.

    Question About Salty Dogs/Mick McQuaid Package

    Just line the inside of the jar with one of the pouches -- aesthetics plus jarring!

    Experience Selling Pipes to Smokingpipes.com?

    Yeah I very much liked how they'll price on a pipe-by-pipe basis, and you can just say "nope" to any you don't agree to.

    Fraudulent Tobacco and Pipe Site!

    I was curious what the origin of a URL ending in *.cc is. cc is the country code for the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, an Australian territory. No idea why I'm putting this out there -- just looked it up, lol

    I agree -- I've been buying my tobacco from them for years and I trust them as a vendor.

    Experience Selling Pipes to Smokingpipes.com?

    Yeah this is definitely something I don't want to spend a lot of time on myself. I have good experiences with that vendor, so that's probably the way I'm going to go. I'll probably just go with store credit, so I'll get a small war chest of future tobacco purchase credits (though I do...

    Thank you, I had not actually looked at this link. Yes I agree that that's probably pretty much a standard deal. Just wanted to see if anyone had bad or good experiences dealing with them on this.

    ***What are You Smoking, April 2022?***

    Breaking in a very rare (for me) new briar pipe, a Savinelli Riccio 321 (always wanted an author), with some Five Brothers. I'll probably load it with Granger next.

    Title edited. No all caps! -jpm I have a number of good quality briars languishing in my basement for years (from my old PAD days) as I primarily smoke cobs these days except for a few select briars. I always receive a little flyer in the box when I get tobacco orders delivered from...

    Opinions on Boswell’s Tobacco

    Their Premium Burley is quite good. Think high quality codger blend. It's burley with a bit of cavendish and I recall it being fairly mild in strength. A good all-day smoke.

    Suggestions for English Blends

    I think you should definitely give it (Father Dempsey) a try.
