    Cornell & Diehl: Decanting

    Hmm, I may have to try one of those, then. Thanks!

    The Most Disappointing Tobacco

    It ages well, so maybe give it a few years in a jar. Tastes better in a clay, IMO.

    Cornell & Diehl: Decanting

    I thought about doing something similar to this with blends I that find to be too moist. I pondered putting jarred tobacco lid-off in the convection oven at a very low temperature (around 150 degrees) while checking on it and stirring the contents every couple of minutes until it's dried to my...

    Cornell & Diehl: Decanting

    I experienced this with a tin of C&D Da Vinci. I smoked some straight out of the freshly opened tin, and it tasted flat and uninspired. A few weeks in a jar fixed it.

    The Witcher 3

    I could see it. Or some of those hardcore rope tobaccos that I've heard described as tasting like beef jerky.

    “The Pipe”

    Alright, you've talked me into it. I'm selling all my pipes right now and building an all-asbestos rotation. I laugh at the mortals who only smoke briars and meers.

    What Pipe would You Like to have Back? Why?

    A lovely "Oom Paul"/Hungarian I bought not long after I first started out - my first briar. I got rid of it because I was an impatient noob and found it more challenging to smoke than the cobs I had gotten used to. Wish I had kept it and learned to smoke it properly.

    Legendary Tobaccos Availability?

    Hm, that's not surprising. I've yet to find a true, well-stocked B&M pipe shop anywhere I've lived or been to, so that didn't occur to me. Best I've had access to are cigar shops that happen to have a few pipes, pouches, and tins to choose from.

    “The Pipe”

    Perhaps, but I think I'd still pass on owning or smoking one.

    “The Pipe”

    Graphite... interesting. Beats an asbestos pipe, I suppose.

    The Witcher 3

    I found Halsin's Pipe inside the druid grove in BG3 and I keep it in my main guy's inventory. I like to think he kicks back with it at camp after a long day of slaying baddies. In game item description: "A wooden pipe, worn smooth with age and use. It still smells faintly of some exotic...

    The Witcher 3

    A simple catch up on the narrative would be helpful, but no, you could dive right in. It got a next-gen facelift not too long ago, so it's a great time to pick it up. Awesome game.

    Smoker’s Pride Cherry Cavendish

    I see now that you also mentioned the Rum flavor in your other comment.

    Smoker’s Pride Cherry Cavendish

    The Rum Cured is good too. Nice toasty burley with butter rum flavor, not goopy, lights and burns well. One of the few sweet aromatics I smoke regularly.

    Cigarillo Recommendation

    Partagas Black Label.

    Legendary Tobaccos Availability?

    Hype is usually just hype. Not that those aren't quality tobaccos, mind, but I think it gets blown out of proportion. I figure out for myself what I like and what I don't like.
  17. Lumbridge

    Legendary Tobaccos Availability?

    I'm inclined to think that this is primarily because of hoarders and flippers buying up every last speck of Esoterica or Germain's as soon as it becomes available. Consumers jump on a hype train and create shortages - and therefore absurdly high prices - themselves by overbuying.

    Smoke Them Down to the Bottom

    I don't build cake, so I don't worry about this. Forcing wet dottle to combust just isn't my idea of an enjoyable smoke. Sometimes I smoke to the bottom, sometimes I don't, but I don't force it like I thought I had to when I started out.

    When You Get a New Pipe?

    Mostly by the chamber dimensions. I prefer smaller bowls for latakia blends and flakes, bigger bowls for burleys and aromatic blends, etc. It's almost entirely arbitrary.

    Is Customer Service a Thing of the Past?

    Weird. I have never noticed any kind of vinegar smell in SWR. It must have gone off. On the bright side, at least it was a low-dollar item that you were screwed on. Dumb, easily corrected mistake on the seller's part, though.
