    Moving From Windows Vista To Windows 10.....Any Surprises In Store?

    I find Win10 very stable but there are a lot of bells and whistles included as others have mentioned. Takes some time to weed some of them out and some you are stuck with. I loved Windows XP.......

    I've Found True Love. Tell Me About Your First Love

    3 Oaks Syrian. Had some great smokes as I started out with MM965 and London Mix but when I started smoking that first tin of 3 Oaks Syrian it was amazing. I was sitting on the deck watching the sun go down and for a little while everything was right in the world.

    In love with an English

    John Bull is a tasty blend; you may want to explore the latakia blends of Peter Stokkebye. They are bulk so you can buy an ounce or 2 to try with not much financial investment. Proper English and English Oriental Supreme are quite good.

    MOLD in Jarred Oak Alley??

    SPC is a stand up company. Mold issues happen, had a jar of Dunhill Elizabethan develop mold. The internet sometimes amplifies an issue beyond its true impact. C&D had some issues; they took care of their customers and made things right. But when you consider how many tins of tobacco are...

    Pumpkin Spice Tobacco Suggestions

    Actually pumpkin tobacco is quite good. Just take your standard pumpkin and cut it in half. Remove the stringy stuff that is connected to the seeds. Remove the seeds and spread the pumpkin strings out on a baking sheet, sprinkle with cinnamon, cloves, and ginger and put in the oven at 350...

    Maybe. Could try rubbing it completely out or cube cutting it to see if you have a better experience.

    Public Pipe Smoking Observations

    There was a time when I used to be a people person but lack of vodka ruined that for me.

    Ribbon cut VaPer

    Unfortunately I never had a chance to smoke the Murray's Elizabethan so I was comparing the Sutliff with the current version of EM.

    Ribbon cut VaPer

    I have to agree with Bradley (Stuff and Things) the Sutliff Match Elizabethan misses by quite a bit.

    What's the shortest smoke you allow yourself?

    Having a variety of pipe sizes helps. I have several cobs that are good for a quick 15 minute smoke. I have large ones that are good for over an hour. Sometimes I start to smoke a pipe and have to stop and comeback to it hours later; relight and we're back in business.
