    Tabacco Recommendations

    Any of the McClelland's Grand Orientals line with my favorite being Yenidje Highlander. It's discontinued but there are tins available online. Also I would highly recommend Peter Stokkebye's Luxury Twist Flake. And of course C&D's Black Frigate.

    Addendum to Glen Whelan's Letter

    Now just if they would spend more care making their pipes and also stop dip staining them I would buy another one. I spent a decent amount of money on a Rosslare Royal Irish that I would expect to be made properly and clearly it was drilled for a filter and the stem isn't made for a filter so...

    Kramer's Pipe & Tobacco Shop Closing

    That sucks. Also how is stating his OPINION that selling weed would be more profitable crapping on your F'ed up state? Cali is all about weed and certainly anti-tobacco. Just seeing the taxes being lower on weed come January but yet keep cranking up the tax on tobacco is silly. NY is just as...

    Help With Virginia Flakes

    Have you tried anything like McCranie's Red Flake? If you look at that link for Harris' list of VA's you'll see some good stuff to try. I know Harris particularly loved Capstan Blue, F&T Cut Virginia Plug and the discontinued Brigham Klondike.

    Why Buy a New Pipe After Smoking Used Estate Pipes?

    I don't get what's so horrible about breaking a new pipe. For me that's just a silly excuse to not buy a new pipe.

    10 Year-Old Classic Samsun

    Of all of their Grand Orientals I've tried they are all great but my absolute favorite is the discontinued Yenidje Highlander. Jitter that 40th is great. I've got one open and a few stored away for aging.

    Plume = Bacteria

    JR nobody's riled up. I was just saying I don't think it really matters either way. All I know is I've got a nice jar of Penzance loaded with the stuff. Yeah Woods. It makes no sense to me why they wouldn't go farther with it other than maybe cost.

    Plume = Bacteria

    Sure it would be nice to know whether it's bloom, plume or a colony. Who has the real answers? Why argue over semantics when it won't make a difference either way. For all we know that lab is wrong and it's not bacteria and is in fact something to do with the oils in the tobacco. Most websites...

    Plume = Bacteria

    Seriously? Who gives a crap. Bloom or Plume. As long as people understand what is referenced. Also if you really want to get technical and if it is in fact bacteria as the laboratory states then it would be a bacterial colony. Bacterial colony is what bacteria growing on a solid medium is...

    Your Favorite Pipe Vendors?

    Any of the site sponsors are good. Some I consider better than others like smokingpipes.com and alpascia.com. Certain pipes are unbelievably cheaper in Europe than here IE Dunhills. Then alpascia.com is the one. Oh and James Fox aka Pipe Divan has great prices on Peterson pipes. Also there's a...

    Best Pipe for Beginner That Can Take Abuse

    Yup wasnfisher is correct. DO NOT BUY A COB MADE IN CHINA! I would say only buy a real Missouri Meerschaum or an Old Dominion cob. Also seriously you smoked bay leaves? Just stick to pipe tobacco. lol

    The Dangers of Alternating Tobaccos in a Single Pipe

    I generally break my pipes down into two categories. 1 = English or Balkan types 2 = Va/Vaper and light aromatics. Also I don't smoke lakeland as I find it gross but when I experimented with it I used a cob so I wouldn't worry about mucking up one of my good pipes with something that...

    Plume = Bacteria

    I make it at home from time to time. Only problem is I can't eat that much before I need a break from it. lol Hmm never thought to add beets and rutabagas. I was thinking of adding some spices and making kimchi next time.
