Cornell & Diehl Small Batch: Carolina Red Flake
Yes. And we're more surprised than you are. Oh, and while it is sold out on Smokingpipes.com, it's showing still available at P&C. Best, Sykes- swilford

Cornell & Diehl Small Batch: Carolina Red Flake
The samples we get usually include a couple kilos of strips (whole leaf thrashed, which is how it comes when we buy 200kg cases; think big pieces of leaf, minus major stems), some shag-cut loose, and some (6 or 8) rolled cigarettes (which I think they just do on a little cigarette rolling...- swilford

Cornell & Diehl Small Batch: Carolina Red Flake
So, here's the story, pretty much. We get tobacco samples on a regular basis that fit the nicotine, flavor and sugar profiles for each of our base components. Like every other tobacco manufacturer, we do this so that we can ensure a consistent product from crop to crop and year to year in the...- swilford

Research Biologist Meets Tobacco Bloom
Wow! Thanks for this very cogent explanation. It helped me to better understand a process that I had thought I properly understood (I had a bunch of, "oh, that's why that works that way" moments as I read it). Awesome stuff!- swilford

C&D releasing a blending kit
To echo Jeremy's comment, this has nothing at all to do with recent FDA announcements. Jeremy, Ted and I started kicking around this idea last summer and we've been working on it in earnest since late last year. To clarify Jeremy's comment, the component tobaccos are grandfathered, but the kit...- swilford

SP.com Shipping Fees - Inflation or Computer Bug?
@carver: As we discussed by email, after reviewing the orders, this is exactly it. The tins themselves are surprisingly heavy. That's very kind; thanks. Mostly I jump in when it's something I know about in detail. Josh, Shane, Ted and others from Smokingpipes.com jump in on other topics, when...- swilford

SP.com Shipping Fees - Inflation or Computer Bug?
Carver, Could you email me directly (all Smokingpipes.com email addresses are first.last@smokingpipes.com) and I'll look into it. If anything, it should have gone down with some changes we made early last year (though possibly before the first order in your sequence). There are a handful of...- swilford

Savinelli?
I know you neverminded this thread, but I've bought five Savinelli Petites (plus a couple Petite Puntos) in the past eighteen months or so. I freakin' love them. Like you, I also have lots of far more expensive pipes (Ivarssons, Chonowitsch, Eltang, Tokutomi, Gotoh etc). But, as convenient...- swilford

Smoking Pipes Customer Service
Yeah, it's actually two nifty bits of code that are conflicting that, very occasionally, lead to results that are slightly perverse. 1) We default to free shipping. 2) We default to whatever was selected previous orders by the user in question. In a small number of cases (like, really small...- swilford

Ropp horn stem pipes
It's somewhat more complicated than that, but the stummels (the 'heads,' the raw bowls) are from the early 20th century (perhaps creeping into the mid-20th century; it's tough to tell what was made exactly when at this point). They're made by the Chapuis-Comoy factory today (maker of Chacom... -

Petition For Smokingpipes.com Pipe Locator Modification
Hey guys, chamber diameter and depth are already totally on the list. We have some other projects that have to take precedence (we're still working out some edge-case bugs with the redesign), but we will get to this before too terribly long. I promise. As for: Yep, you nailed the problem. Also...- swilford

Retailer Selection
Just for the record, not that I think anything negative was intended, Smokingpipes.com doesn't do this with C&D and GLP blends. We do have the Low Country line, which is exclusive to Smokingpipes.com, but that was true back when C&D was independent (pre-dating the two being the same company by a...- swilford

How much will you pay for a fraized pipe?
I'm sorry if I over-assumed; it was your assertion that one of the two did not actually make the pipes, but only designed them, that I was responding to with my assertion that there was some sort of implied scandal (Your words: "In at least one of the two examples the pipes are were only... -

How much will you pay for a fraized pipe?
This is silly. The initial assertion just isn't true. It also just misses the point. Tom's pipes aren't fraized. He does a fairbit, including on these, with templates on a lathe, with the detail work done on a sanding disk, but this is substantially equivalent to how any good pipe maker would... -
Do You Like smokingpipes.com New Website's Design?
Alright, we hear you. We're also working out some bugs. Stuff that worked in dev isn't working across all platforms and whatnot in the real world, so maybe you're also responding to some slight bugginess here and there as we sort through stuff (although, at this point, that list is getting...- swilford

Squadron Leader with Perique
2,000 tins in the world of super-premium small run tobaccos is pretty big. I appreciate that you guys think that we know what's going to happen before it happens with these things, but, seriously, we really don't. We committed to what seemed, at the time, to be a scary number of tins (keep in...- swilford

Bulk Chenet's Cake Group Buy
Guys, Creating a run of Chenet's Cake to make a few pounds in a format we don't offer is kind of expensive, which is why Chris quoted the $50-60 price in vacuum bags. We also don't think that vacuum bags are as good as tins for aging this product, so we don't want to do a general release in...- swilford

Captain Bob's Blend: I am dissapointed...
Alright, I'll do my best on this. A couple of quick things before I seriously launch into it. Our goal is to make C&D better. I think we've already done a lot towards that end. And, I write yet again, we're not doing away with the blend specific artwork. Not all of it is staying the same, but...- swilford
