    My Ongoing Penzance Project

    lawdowg - interesting thoughts on Shepherd's Pie. I picked up a few ozs a year ago. Tried a few bowls . My take was dirty socks. I'll have to pull it out and give it another go. Although I have smoked off and on for 20 years (mostly cigars for most of that time with a pipe now and then, it...

    Seattle Plum

    Actually glad to hear that. I have hesitated to crack open my Plum Pudding tin as the name is actually a turn off to me, so here is to hoping that I do not taste/smell any plum when I do finally try it.

    If that is your view of relationship and love, I'm very glad you are not my spouse.

    Storage of 250g boxes

    Thanks! I kind of figured jarring would be the best approach. So how many pint jars would I need for a 250g box?

    Storage of 250g boxes

    I have a couple 250g boxes of SG FVF on the way. I'm not necessarily trying to "age" these, but the reality is I only smoke a few bowls a week and have some 50g tins of SG FVF (along with a variety of other tobacco) I will use up first, so it may be a significant amount of time before I get to...

    Air Tight Smoking Room

    Two key issues - some method of creating negative air pressure in the smoking room so that when the door is opened, air is pulled into the room rather than out of the room into the rest of the house. The in-line vent fans are great and fairly easy to install. The are quiet and can move a...

    Xikar Pipeline vs Zippo Pipe Lighter

    I wish I had gone with a regular zippo instead of the pipe version. I have been rather disappointed with the pipe version. I have to do some serious sucking to pull the flame into the pipe.

    Xikar Pipeline vs Zippo Pipe Lighter

    I recently picked up a zippo pipe lighter. So far, I'm not very impressed. I still prefer my cheap butane pipe lighter. As a guy who came from the cigar world, my best cigar lighter was the ronson jetlite. The Jetlite costs about $4.00 at walmart. My understanding is that ronson also makes...

    Cellaring In Sealed Bins

    Sable, do you automatically jar all of your square or rectangle tins? I think it is the SG FVF or SG BBF tins that I am smelling. One of the tins has a sizable ding on the edge that I think me be the issue. If I am going to have to jar all my square/rectangle tins, I wish I had just ordered...

    Cellaring In Sealed Bins

    So how do you figure out which tins are not sealed? I received an order of several tins the other day and added them to my stash in a file cabinet drawer. I opened the drawer earlier today and it smells wonderfully of tobacco. I don't really want to have to jar all of my tins. Any...

    Charatan Experts Needed

    It looks like to me that the top of the 8 tilts in towards the 5 a bit compared to the vertical line of the 5. Also looks like the 8 may be a hair higher than the 5. Would seem to indicate that the two numbers were stamped separately.
