    Ashy Taste

    I water flush. I find my pipes stay sweet and don't smell. This is a great plus for my wife. Briar is a very dense wood and does not absorb any significant amount of water. So it dries quickly even in rainy uk

    Is there a general consensus on what blend a new piper should start on?

    I am surprised anyone wants to associate themselves with bagpipes. An evil instrument. Not for nothing are bits of them called drones. Music can soothe the savage breast! It can also give you headache later

    I currently have a meerschaum that's about 120 years old . Clay pipes don't really age at all. So have I stumbled upon some kind of collective madness?

    How many bowls from a 50g tin?

    I get about 15 bowls a tin. Flake or any other cut. It doesn't seem to make much difference.

    Floral Pipe Tobacco?

    What about 1792 flake? Flavoured with tonquin bean. It's very like vanilla. Also it's an outstanding tobacco.

    UK CUSTOMS

    I believed that we are allowed to send gifts. Shops are conducting a business

    UK CUSTOMS

    Nope. I had declared the tobacco. It was returned. But I know of no lawful reason for its return. In the end I've ordered through an American shop to get it to my SS

    UK CUSTOMS

    I sent off my secret Santa to the USA but it failed to arrive! Today I've had it returned by British customs. They even pinched the Xmas card. Anyone in UK had similar experiences? And any idea why they did it?
