Impressions of SG Lakeland Dark?
I lucked into actually being able to purchase some Samuel Gawith this (US) side of the pond. I ordered a few tins of Lakeland Dark, hoping it might be another strong, simple burley/va flake like Peterson's Irish Flake. Any impressions from you folks here who have tried it?- --dante--

Black Frigate in a cob -- sorry I neglected to prepare a bandwidth-sucking pirate themed signature graphic to go with this comment. ;). I realize I may be facing a plank-walking.- --dante--

Does Anyone Dedicate Their Lighters to Certain Pipes or Blends?

Why the pantaloons...or the rope lighter?- --dante--

Does Anyone Dedicate Their Lighters to Certain Pipes or Blends?
I think pantaloons are appropriate for that -- but they should be made of denim. Or maybe that's better for SWR.- --dante--

Does Anyone Dedicate Their Lighters to Certain Pipes or Blends?
To answer the question of the post...um, no. I don't. But since we're on lighters: I tried a rope lighter when I was recently at the shore for a couple weeks. They're a bit unique in that they are near-worthless in non-windy conditions (you have to blow on them to keep 'em glowing, which...- --dante--

How Do You Stay Fit?
I run. I hate it, but if I don't I get fat. Now that I'm stuck working from home, I also use kettlebells and do body weight stuff like pushups and pull ups on a bar I set up on the door to the 2nd floor of the house. But mostly I get out and run, for mental at least as much as for physical...- --dante--

Samuel Gawith Mold Issue??
I have no problem with returning and getting another box, were that at all possible. But since it took six months for me to luck into being able to place a single order for one box, and the vendor is out and can't replace it, I think I'll wait until a time (if ever) that SG products are readily...- --dante--

Yeah perhaps they need better ventilation in their tobacco facilities.- --dante--

All good advice, but we're talking about how the tobacco _arrived_ in shipment.- --dante--

Samuel Gawith Mold Issue??
I just received a 250 gram box of SG Brown #4. A good bit of solid mold growth on about a quarter of it. The seller is out of stock, so I guess I'll keep trying for another six months to get some, sigh. I'd buy the tins, but they're just as unobtainable to me. Fortunately I still have a...- --dante--

Gawith Hoggarth Black Pigtail Aniseed
Update: It rehydrated fine, and I just now finally chopped some of to try. It's quite good! The aniseed is very subtle in the background -- it's hard to even detect -- I wouldn't notice it was there if I didn't know it was. It reminds me of brown bogie, but without the spiciness. It's...- --dante--

Does Anyone Know How Long Lane Limited Ready Rubbed Has Been Around?
I know it's a reincarnation of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed, but I have no idea when ERR went off the market, and LLRR came into being. The reason I ask is I found a pouch at a tobacco store near Virginia Beach. It has a sticker on it but I don't know if it's a date: "10 08 8". There are no...- --dante--

What Are The Physics Of "Thick Wall = Cool Smoke"?
I couldn't say -- I keep my pipes reamed to pretty much the original bowl as much as possible. Every time I had a pipe I thought went "bad", reaming it fixed it right up, so I just don't really allow much cake to develop.- --dante--

Strong VaBurPer Blend
If you go with the Haunted Bookshop/Old Joe Krantz suggestions (of which I also recommend), they are very similar blends, but OJK is the stronger and spicier of the two.- --dante--
