    Pipe and Stereo Types

    I was just having some Sutliff Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a cob, and I started doing some thinking. For those that need a real point or reason to read something, you can probably stop now. 😆 I almost always smoke this blend in a cob. For me, it just tastes great this way. I have (and do)...

    Perique and Certain Va/Pers

    I have been smoking for over 1.5 years, and I have been able to find several tobaccos I enjoy. I first tried Va/Pers early on, ones that were light on the perique (LNF was the first I remember trying). In C&D blends (OJK, HB) the perique tasted like pepper to me, but in others I’m not sure I...

    First Smoke Post-Pneumonia

    I’ve had pneumonia, and I have not had a smoke in a couple of weeks. I ran across a bag that had contained my order of Luxury Navy Flake. After I had jarred it, I left the “shake” in the bag to smoke and then promptly forgot about it. The tobacco had dried quite a bit, and was easy to load...

    Old Dunhill Rollagas

    I bought this off that auction site pretty cheap, I made an offer I didn’t think the seller would accept. The accepted and it arrived today. It had a working flint, so I tried putting some gas in it. I could hear some leaking so I just let it be. I picked it up again a half hour later, and...

    Mac Baren Mixture Scottish Blend

    Any other fans of this stuff? I bought some a couple of months ago because I had been enjoying MB blends a bit and though maybe I’d give it a go. Now I’m smoking it nearly every day. Has the perfect amount of Kentucky, and a great overall flavor. Not a heavy smoke, but certainly has some flavor.

    Kiribi Kabuto - How is Yours Holding Up?

    One of the online retailers had a sale on the Kiribi Kabuto and I bought a full size model yesterday. I have a question for Kiribi lighter owners. (Last paragraph is the actual question for those that like to get to the point) I know these lighters have been discussed several times in the past...

    Irish Thirds?

    I’ve heard of Irish Seconds, but Irish Thirds? WTH? 😆

    Dr. Grabow Estate Pipe Stem

    I picked this up from that auction site for cheap. In the ad it looked like it had some decent grain without fills. Of course, the lighting in the ad was better than real life, but the pipe arrived in pretty decent condition. I only see one very tiny fill. I did think that the stem looked a...

    Cheap Zippo, New

    Absolutely nothing special about this, other than they are on Amazon for between $12.60 - $12.90 all the time. Basically the street chrome model with a little design. I actually don’t think it is great looking, but it isn’t terrible and the price seems right. I guess what I’m saying is get...

    Hey Ma Look at Me, I Can Fold and Stuff Now!

    I’m not sure why, but I feel the need to share this info with somebody; I figured out how to fold and stuff flakes so that they smoke well! I have to admit I do rough it up a bit after the folding and before the stuffing. The big thing is that I saw guys on this forum talking about making a...

    Benlow Golmet Motorist Pipe Lighter

    I’ve seen identical lighters sold under the Rogers name, but this one is a Benlow Golmet Motorist Pipe Lighter. Somewhat similar to the Nimrod lighters, but I’m pretty sure this holds a decent amount more fluid. I think it also does a better job of sealing up so that it hopefully won’t need...

    70s Entry-Level Pipes

    Warning: there will be a whole bunch of words and only one picture. The short story is that I got some pipes today. I knew my dad had some pipes but I had not seen them at his house for years. His pipe career was short lived, and he stuck with cigarettes. I asked him about the pipes a while...

    My “New” Caminetto Estate Pipe Stamping

    My first Caminetto arrived today, it doesn’t appear to have been used all that much. It has some little dings on the rim (looks like they might be from knocking the ash out). Little bit of tooth chatter on the stem, but overall pretty good. I’ve kind of been lusting after this for a while, and...

    Long Term Storage in the Original Bag?

    Can I store these bags as they are for long term, or do I need to remove the tobacco and jar it up? I read on another thread that the GH bags can be stored as is, just curious about these.

    A Place for My Pipes

    I had been thinking about building some wood stands for my pipes, but I then had a different idea and I like how it worked out so I thought I would share. Perhaps some of you are already doing something similar. I bought a handgun case. It is light in weight, blocks light (and dust), offers...

    Best Value Tobacco

    I am naturally a bit frugal by nature. Not cheap exactly, but careful with my limited money. I don’t like to buy cheap stuff that won’t last. Nothing worse than buying things more than once when you could have just bought the good one the first time. Don’t worry, I’m winding my way to the...

    Finally Tried Granger

    I have been wanting to sample some Granger as I have been trying a lot of basic burley blends for the last several months. Of course, the smallest sample I could find was 7oz. I like it, it is even more mild than I imagined. Around the second or third bowl I realized what it reminded me of-...

    Are Tastes Ever-Changin?

    Feel free to skip to the last paragraph if you don’t feel like reading a bunch. Happy 4th! I was having a bowl of Sutliff 212 Burley Delight his morning, and a question crept into my mind. I have thought of this before, and then I forget about it before I get it posted here. ? I’ve been...

    My First Blend

    I have mixed tobacco before, often just putting a little bit of some leftover with something else similar. I had been thinking about actually making a mix for myself for the first time. I didn’t put any time into researching proportion or anything, I just took a stab at it. I ended up mixing...

    My Jars Became Warm Today

    I got home from work today and went to my smoking room (where I also store my tobacco) and it turns out a breaker blew while I was at work and the air conditioner did not run. The room (and tobacco) was at 80 degrees when I got home. Of course I immediately reset the breaker and started...
