I really think that a lot of forums overcomplicate this stuff.
Just grab some different tobacco and give it a go. Those blends you are smoking are loaded with chemicals that may/may not be kind to your smoking.
I’m not gonna give you this BS dry the tobacco/pack looser advice. Start with a good tobacco. Get a new blend. It could very well be the blend for you. You may have one good smoke and then its crap because you dont like that blend or it is just not good at all. Half n Half, especially current...
The first dozen or so post on every thread on this forum is people convincing you that you are wrong. Don’t sweat it. There are greener pastures.
If you find something for cellar organization. i’d love to hear about it. I struggle with this myself.
I enjoyed reading your posts. You went the extra mile to recapture what your Father had. Hopefully his Savoy turns up one day.
Grabows are some of my favorite pipes. They are a working mans pipe. Wishing you many happy smokes in yours
Last time I sent in a Zippo in for repair and asked for a Pipe Lighter, they said they were available on their website to purchase. This was last year.
