    Smoking side effects

    Whence I retook up the pipe thefirst thing I noticed was i wanted sleep afterwards. Didn't matter the blend. I'd smoke and I'd spend the rest of my day wanting a nap. Lately I've been smoking Presbyterian and newminster Navy Flake. Each of those days I have had night mares. Lay down fall asleep...

    Grabow stems

    As I clean once more I am baffled about the choice behind making stems. Grabow, with mine, made the plastic stem with a rectangle shaped airway in it. It's horrid to clean, normally the only option is scrubbing from both ends with a doubled over pipe cleaner. And normally xant get a taste or...

    Cost of your hoards

    We bemoan the cost of tobacco but have any of you actually sat down and priced what it would take t I replace it at current market price. Or the import fees it would cost you? I've seen pictures I f people with 30 gallon totes of hooded pouch tobacco they bought for 4$ in 1999 that now retails...

    Virginia cavendish

    As to why this doesn't seem to be used in American blends? I know a cavendish is supposed to have little to no nicotine after steaming, but the burley cavendish can kick like a mule with nicotine. Mind that prince Albert is considered 50% burley cavendish

    Tin bids veracity

    Do you trust the people on tin bids selling mylar bags with home made labels. Or tin foil wrapped tins with a mystical piece of tape with hand written product name To actually have the correct product? I mean if your trying to sell a tin of mylar wrapped 2004 Penzance or dunhill 965 Why not...

    Cold weather

    Smoke outside. And since it's been a while without smoking in winter I can't remember my old methods of winter pipe care. Smoked my pipe Friday, Presbyterian. It was a moist bowl and pretty much tasted like burley. Smoked old gowry in it today, dumped half way. Tasted of burning mushrooms and...

    Latakia and the pine tree

    Funny Ebay scams

Just following the links that pop up in the "similar too" area. https://www.ebay.com/usr/19441946s Selling the same dunhill bent bulldog as two seperate items. It only really came out as obvious when i I made an...

    Gawith flavor

    ive got some tins of sam gawith flakes last few months. Issue is, why does the flavor simply dissappear after the tin has been opened and left on a shelf for a week or two? In ye olden days, I could take a tin of chocolate flake, open it on the first, smoke a flake, leaf it on the shelf for a...

    Dunhill Fuel Adapter

    If every can of dunhill butane comes with a plastic adapter, why do people want to sell us one seperately? I just recieved my newest dunhill, a japan made slim. The odd thing in the instructions is that it say NOT to use the fill adapter when fueling it. "remove adapter from can nozzle, and...

    BBB Umbria

    I know that they are considered lesser pipes of the line, being made in america. But I have seen a picture of an ad from when the factory in the states opened, and the advertisment stated that the pipers were being assembled using briar bowls carved in the UK. SO was that a short time period...

    Temperature of a Tobacco

    I was smoking a bunch of mac baren danish mixture this year. I stopped when I couldnt hack the flavoring they used. The maple sugar wasnt as heavy as with original choice, but the berry component just made tongue bite. And i couldnt deal with it any more. Keeping the partially used tin in my...

    What is Danish tobacco exactly

    Mac Baren Danish Mixture and Original Choices are supposedly "traditional danish" type blends. Good tobacco in both, but the oriignal choice flavoring and humectant level is more "captain black". Danish mixture is about 50% less on humectants and flavoring, and smokes completely different. So...
