    Toothache Remedy Sought

    Agreed! Excedrin on its own is also very effective, as long as you’re not washing it down with booze. Not that I’ve done that back in the day…

    What are You Reading Now?

    Primo Levi’s The Periodic Table (audio dramatization by the BBC).

    Moving On Down To Indiana

    Pretty much the entire northern half of Indiana is under a Tornado Watch right now, until 8PM tonight. So you know... typical June weather.

    Moving On Down To Indiana

    I do actually follow the IPC on the Facebooks (that's the club that I obviously too-obliquely referenced in my post!). I keep an eye out to see when/if your meetups will be any closer than Gas City (which is a 2-1/4 hour drive), but haven't seen y'all come closer yet, only even farther away to...

    Toothache Remedy Sought

    Came here to say the same thing. Clove oil is amazing. Rub it on the gums around the tooth, instant numbing. And it tastes fantastic.

    Moving On Down To Indiana

    Yeah, Louisville is a bit of a poke for me. I did go to college about 70mi west of there along I-64, but I'm at quite the opposite end of the state now. There's apparently a club that meets in at a country bar somewhere NE of Indy, but even that is a 2 hour drive from me, which is hard to do on...

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    Got a tin of Kopp Caribbean Blue Drake in a trade (among other tins). Lovely pineapple and fruit aroma in the tin, not goopy at all. Going to load it into a Meer for an inaugural smoke tonight. (It won't touch those new-to-me Peterson briars!)

    Moving On Down To Indiana

    Not to hijack the thread, but I'm in northern Indiana (South Bend, to be precise), and am interested to know if there are local pipe clubs. I've posted in past but no one has seemed to come out of the woodwork with info. Details?

    Peterson Vulcanite

    Can you take a photo of more of the stem by any chance? It’s very hard to tell with what you’ve provided.

    Presbyterian

    That was quite a rollercoaster of a post, I’m not sure the question had anything to do with what came before it?

    McClelland # 5110 Dark English Full

    Count me in, too! Heck, I’d be happy to trade for a taste!

    Stealth Blends for Family Vacation

    I don't have a tobacco suggestion, but I will say that there is nothing wrong with considering the comfort of others nearby when smoking your pipe, and as a matter of fact it's a praiseworthy thing to do. There's literally zero reason to be an ass as a pipe smoker by intentionally ignoring that...

    My new MM Corn Cob Gap.

    I have eight or ten MM cobs covering the full range of sizes and shapes, but I still think it's hard to beat the Virginia Planter with its reed stem for all-around sheer smoking performance and pleasure. Great easy draw, big chamber, light as can be, and (though the price has gone up to $20 from...

    McClelland # 5110 Dark English Full

    FM doesn't have orientals (discounting Latakia, which is an oriental, but distinct, obviously), whereas the 5110 RDE does.

    Need Help Reducing The Size Of My First Tobacco Purchase

    Uhhh… not sure where you got that, but Balkan Sasieni is most definitely *not* the same as the other two. The PS BS and Arango BS are indeed the same as one another. But Balkan Sasieni is its own unique blend.

    Let's Send A Pipe Around The World

    I love the idea in general, and most of my pipes are estates, but there’s just something about this particular plan that kind of… ooogs me out? I like @Bbailey324’s suggestion that your pipe serve as an accompaniment to a bag of tobacco that the recipient smokes and replaces with his own...

    Farewell Sutliff Tobacco Company - Monday 3/4/25

    This is 100% my experience as well! I can only help but notice that I go through my tobacco horde a lot faster than she goes through her quilting fabric stash.

    Need Help Reducing The Size Of My First Tobacco Purchase

    LOL. Do *not* rely on AI for *anything*, especially anything relating to smoking. Computers can’t smoke. Nor can they think. They’ll make shit up just to have an answer to give you, and that’s a fact. Seriously. Don’t use AI, it makes you dumber.

    Pouche Replacement.

    That’s a good long service. Godspeed, old pouch.

    VaPer bite ?

    This matches my experience. Over a year ago, I got a tin of MacB Plumcake, opened and smoked one bowl, then banished it to the back of my cellar drawer to reflect on what it did to my tongue. It's been a while, I may pull the jar out sometime next week to see if anything has improved (either or...
