    Plateau Spot On A Bowl - Thoughts?

    I'm not sure this was intentional. I think it was a slight miscalculation of how deep one section of the plateau was and at that point, the pipe was shaped and the birdseye was too beautiful to obliterate with a blast. It even looks like the heel and adjacent bottom of the shank was flattened...

    C&D Christmas Blend - Corn Cob Pipe

    I would advise against eating it... though I had the same thought when I opened my first tin :mrgreen:

    Fall Aromatics and Other Blends

    I have been smoking a lot of C&D Corn Cob Pipe. Have the dregs of a tin that I need to finish up before I crack another. I also grabbed a sampler pack from Pipeworks & Wilke recently. Though they are a bit too Aro to smoke alone, I have been mixing their Vermont Maple, 50/50 with C&D Burley...

    Well Well Well MOLD!

    As has been mentioned, I would say my biggest concern at this point is other C&D blends that use the Red Virginia in them. I just grabbed 3 lbs. of OJK. Though it's not a high percentage, it does have Red VA in it. Would be great if someone from C&D or SP.com would chime in here and either...

    Fair enough. Good to know also.

    Moldy Temple Bar

    Hey, we all know the rules here, and I don't think anyone disputes that this is Kevins house. It does however make people a bit paranoid that they might say the wrong thing and be banished. It's never fun looking over your shoulder and wondering if the next post is the one that sends you to the...

    Moldy Temple Bar

    I don't disagree with Andy that this may be a larger scale problem than was initially thought. That being said, when C&D identified that they had an issue with a specific red VA they were using, I wonder if there was a realization as to how many blends that red VA was used in. The problem may...

    Yeah, no problem with pics, it's embedding a video that I can't get to work.

    Tried it, didn't work. Guess I'll have to try again. Damn technology.

    After a recent unsuccessful attempt to do this, I searched for it on Google. This thread came up. Not sure if I did something wrong, or something changed, but this did NOT work for me.

    Moldy Temple Bar

    I'm with Bigpond on this. A swollen tin is not a guarantee that there is something "wrong" with the tobacco. Also, there is just as much chance for a newly packed tin to swell as there is for an old one. It all depends on how fast the fermentation process is happening. That being said, it...

    C&D Christmas Blend - Corn Cob Pipe

    Maybe I don't suck at this review thing... hmm... who'da thunk?

    HH Old Dark Fired

    +1 what Cosmic said. Add one more into the mix to mix up... Peter Heinrich Dark Strong Flake... basically the same as Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky, only more molasses brown sugar vs. licorice. Also neither dark, nor strong IMO, though slightly darker and stronger than the Orlik, lol. I don't...

    Airfresheners for Tobacco

    I have always heard about Ozium, but never bothered to pick any up. I'll have to give it a go. In general, I'm in the Cosmic camp... no issues with the smell in the house. Most of my tobaccos are decent smelling anyway.

    C&D Christmas Blend - Corn Cob Pipe

    Are you referring to Holiday Spirit from McClelland?

    HH Old Dark Fired

    @Coyote - I think you might be mixing this up with something else. I'm pretty sure this came out in 2011 or 2012. That would make it a bit difficult to have tins with over 10 years on them. This is a great tobacco... was one of my favorites. I have around 10 lbs. cellared, but lost my taste for...

    C&D Christmas Blend - Corn Cob Pipe

    I have started stocking up on this. I think I have 4 tins at the moment... if that counts as stocking. I have been more inclined to the aromatic lately, but I want one with some punch to it. This one fits the bill in my opinion.

    C&D Christmas Blend - Corn Cob Pipe

    Due to the less than stellar search functionality, I wasn't able to verify if this had already been discussed. So, my apologies if it was. I digress. I will not even bother to put the description of this tobacco and it's not much of a description. I bought this mainly because of the cube cut...

    C&D OJK - Different Cut?

    Interesting, Ray. For some reason, HB never really worked for me. Not sure if something was missing (Perique) or if the balance was off. I might have to revisit though, it has been awhile since I smoked it.
