    Jim's STG Versions of Mac Baren Blends Reviews.

    Literally every one of them looks worse. Nice work, STG.

    Pesse Canoe

    I jarred my tins up as soon as they arrived in May, and just opened the jars earlier this afternoon to share with a friend. No mold whatever on any of the three blends.

    What’s Your Fave Dunhill Blend?

    Cordial is delightful and I’ve loved it enough to cellar half a pound or so, though others here on the board have said that it’s nowhere near as delicious as The Aperitif. A fella here kindly sent me a generous sample of actual The Aperitif (along with some other real Dunhill blends), and I am...

    $800 De Minimis Import Tax Exemption Set To End Friday

    Don’t forget the surströmming!

    Looking for Non-Aromatic Recommendations:

    Wisdom here. I went on a “gotta try them ALL!!!” bender early in my return to piping and chased unicorns and really chooched through dozens if not hundreds of blends in the process. Now that I’ve kicked that habit (kind of? LOL), I’m returning to the jars and tins that I didn’t spend enough time...

    $800 De Minimis Import Tax Exemption Set To End Friday

    This is something I said a few months ago when talk about tariffs started ramping up. That decision is looking dumber and dumber as time goes on.

    Such Great People!

    Wow. What a gift! Way to go, @BrightDarkEyes!

    Red Virginia recommendations

    You might try C&D Derringer, referred to by some as a "poor man's CRF." Age a tin for a bit and then smoke it slowly.

    Neat Way To Hold Your Pipe While Driving

    I messaged Steve and let him know that there are some interested folks here on the forum, we'll see if he drops in with contact info.

    Neat Way To Hold Your Pipe While Driving

    Steve Jackson is the fella’s name, I have been messaging him on Facebook just yesterday to get one. He calls them “On the Go”, and they’re $35 shipped.

    Favorite Rum Blends?

    The advantage to the dry infusion method is that you don’t lose the essential oils that will flash off with the evaporation of the alcohol if you merely soak or spray the booze onto the tobacco. Those oils keep the tobacco from drying out. It’s science. Back in the day, when sailors soaked...

    Sutliff still in stock

    Highly unlikely, @Brad H. You'll most likely get what you ordered. I've had emails like that from P&C that indicated I'd end up with 16lbs of a blend... I only got the 16oz I ordered and paid for, sadly.

    $800 De Minimis Import Tax Exemption Set To End Friday

    I'm sure hoping the exemption applies to items that were purchased and enroute to the USA prior to this coming Friday. Otherwise I may need to cancel that order of a German-made snuffbox tout de suite. For what it's worth, I used the "contact the president" form at whitehouse.gov to register my...

    Pembroke and Margate at Grove Pipe

    Yes, but nobody ever opened the tins, just fought tooth and nail to buy them and horde them in cellars, eventually to be either sold for pennies at estate sales, thrown away by ignorant heirs, or sold to the Chinese at insanely inflated prices. So yes, Esoterica went out of business, and you...

    ISO: Lane Crown Achievement/Sutliff CA-100 (8/25/25)

    Looking to get a few tins of Lane Limited Crown Achievement and/or bulk of the Sutliff match blend CA-100, as the tin I had turned out to have a compromised seal and was all dried out. If you're looking to clear up some space in your cellar of that nasty old stuff, I will try to make it worth...

    Vinegar Smell & Taste Overpowering Blend???

    Ammonia will off-gas. I find it in nasal snuff quite regularly, and find that a little exposure to air will clean it right up.

    Sutliff still in stock

    That’s as may be, but I’m not wasting space on them. I didn’t fall in love with them before the Sutliffocalypse, I don’t want to do so now that they’re gone forever.

    Sutliff still in stock

    Most of the Sutliff stuff left in stock is the gooper aromatics. Very few blends to stock up on for the cellar.

    Favorite Rum Blends?

    This sounds like the “dry infusion method,” and it works very well. Much better than misting or spraying tobacco with booze (or water or whatever), as it penetrates to the inside of the leaf with a deep, lasting penetration. Also the best way to rehydrate leaf. Misting or spraying booze directly...
