    If it ain't briar (or is it?)

    It's hard to say by looking at it. A new pipe is shiny, it has wax, it's buffed. If it smokes hot no matter what I would lean towards it's wood but not briar. I do have a pipe that has a similar look, and it isn't plastic, it's wood, bit it isn't briar.

    NHL Playoffs... Who's Watching and Who You Got?

    Cups been damaged several times. Each player gets a turn to bring it back to their community. My little brother lives up in iquluit nunavut and has a picture of my niece in the cup when she was a baby. It's a very much yes you can touch it kind of trophy

    Need Help Reducing The Size Of My First Tobacco Purchase

    I remember taking that advice 10 years ago, the regular price has more than doubled, a 50 gram tin was between 7-10$ then. It wasn't going to get any cheaper and it's not like there'd be more variety. Syrian is gone now, it was widely available then, McClellands gone, now most of macbaren...

    Need Help Reducing The Size Of My First Tobacco Purchase

    You're right ballan sasieni doesn't contain Cavendish. Someone had stated russ oulette said that they were all the same. Maybe they're the same as in Cavendish is added to balkan supreme. But I guess I made the mistake of believing something said on the internet. There are alot of blends...

    Need Help Reducing The Size Of My First Tobacco Purchase

    I think you're way over thinking this. Order lots, enjoy the fact you live in the usa and don't have to worry about customs and extremely high prices like 50+ dollars for a 50 gram tin. Variety is the spice of life. For cherry though cult blood red moon is the one I here people talk about...

    Is your pipe clean. If you aren't cleaning your pipe after every smoke eventually it's going to give some unpleasant smokes

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

    Very surprised to hear that as well. A quick search brought me to a review by katman who said the draw was impossible and had to use a perfect draw tool, almost unheard of for non Cubans. I'd fire off a letter to Drew estate mentioning your disappointment in such a high priced cigar behaving...

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

    Time in the humidor fixes most of the burn issues. My macanudos 6×60 had all kinds of issues until a good year in the humi. I also had double coronas that had bad burn issues until a year in the humidor

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

    Overall I'm not really into the really large gauge cigars, they seem to be almost q gimmick. Even 60 ring is too much for me. We use the term it gives you C C which you can imagine what it means, not appropriate to repeat. I don't mind them for a bonfire or something if I'm drinking and...

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

    Yeah I'd agree, the cigar last night was a little young still, it's at the 2 year mark. It's a completely different roller though I got them from a cigar forum guy who brings back a limited amount of customs each trip. Johnny O world famous at the 2 year mark really start to open up. I have...
