    My Current Project. Attention Car Guys.

    Awesome. My first "car" was a 1969 Mustang fastback with a Boss 302 dropped in. Both the car and engine were ragged beyond repair. I was a young kid, I did not know any better. Sold it for a reliable and fun 1977 VW Rabbit.

    Any Recommendations for a Struggling Ciggy Smoker?

    Most cigarette tobaccos are virginia based, so maybe look into a VA or VA/Per blend. Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake is a good tasting, widely available bulk blend that is relatively affordable. Good luck, and do not beat yourself up... it is a process.

    BJ Long Quality: Have You Noticed A Difference?

    I have the habit of always running the pipe cleaner through my fingers a few times to remove the excess fibers on softies. I like Dill's the best, but even they too, shed.

    How to Maintain Vulcanite Stems Easy and Safe?

    I would recommend a drinkable alcohol for the inside of the stem. Usually the inside does not oxidize. Most oxidization comes from the stem being in direct sunlight.
