    Mold check

    Which is my point. I looked this up because I was curious if there was either a bad review complaining about mold, or a good one proving that there was no mold. That said: just because mold is present in some tins doesn’t mean that many or most will have it. I think that was the case with the...

    Mold check

    Here’s a review from Feb 21, 2024. updating via yoast - https://www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend/13231/cornell-diehl-warped-midsommar/?review=123050 If there was mold/white stuff on his cake, it didn’t seem to stop him from smoking it and enjoying it anyway. When I open my tin, I’ll let you know...

    Mold check

    I’ve got a tin of that too. Still sealed. I was going to wait until Midsummer to crack it open. I’m no expert, but if mine looked like that, I’d let it air out a little to see if the white stuff spread. And then I’d probably try a bowl of the least affected portions.

    Pipes Are Great

    Yes, agreed. But they’re somehow even more magical when fine tobacco leaf is combusted inside them.

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    Sounds and looks heavenly! I wonder if the Latakia in it is Syrian.

    My Lent Regret

    I actually really like this suggestion. Even better: choose just one pipe and one blend for all of Lent. This year I gave up pipe smoking, but allow for a Sunday pipe (since it is the Lord’s Day). Next year I’ll try your method but I have a feeling my wife will not think this is terribly...

    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2024?***

    In my Stanwell churchwarden I’m puffing on 2000 McClelland Christmas Cheer. Very unique and rich and complex: meeting about every expectation I had for this rare tobacco. I’m tasting coconut and a fruit compote sweetness. Very satisfying on this warm and blustery early March afternoon. Thanks to...

    Jim's C&D Sansepolcro 2024 Small Batch Review.

    Thanks for the excellent review, @JimInks! In case anyone missed out on buying this in the usual places, I just scored a two tin maximum purchase of 2024 Sansepolcro from 4noggins. Picked up a Chacom Nougat bent dublin for a steal and some Weybridge and Britt’s Balkan while I was at it. Will...

    Green Bay, Wisconsin, Meetup?

    Looks like March 9 and 23 are the best dates for me here, if that makes a difference.

    Green Bay, Wisconsin, Meetup?

    Green Bay is a reasonably minor jaunt for me for sure! But I bet the southern Wisconsin faction may be willing to travel north for a meet up. Sounds like there are quite a number of Wisconsin based folks on this forum. I’ll stay posted for any upcoming get together. ‘Twould be fun.

    Federal Taxes on Cigars & Pipe Tobacco

    I’ve lost count of how many times Durbin has (re)introduced this bill in some form or another. It keeps dying in one of the chambers. Not to say there is no concern. It could happen some day. Probably will. Meanwhile, stock up if you don’t want to pay premium prices in the future. Tobacco —...

    Dropped Brand New Pipe

    I wabi-sabi’d my Randy Wiley plateau pipe a few months ago. Dropped it on the sidewalk while walking (though my foot kind of broke its fall). The few small dents on the bowl are not as bad as the chip on the button of the stem. Even so, it’s still quite usable and beautiful. I was never...

    How Many Bowls do You Smoke a Day?

    One bowl a day, pretty consistently. But occasionally will have a second bowl, especially if I skip a day for whatever reason.

    In Search Of The Burley Unicorn

    C&D Pennington Gap has oomph and a nice subtle topping, with KY cube cut, black cavendish, & perique. That said, it’s too strong for me. But maybe that’s what you are going for?

    Show us Your Pipe/Tobacco/Accessory Trays!

    I can respect this, probably because it’s totally my style, almost to a tee. But looking at some of those fancy wooden trays, I’m kind of envious.

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    GL Pease Quiet Nights at 4 year, 3 months old. Worried about my Union Square tin, but will wait on that for now and be satisfied that this tin is mold free.
