    Query on Samuel Gawith/Gawith Hoggarth

    No, but I've seen a host of new Barlings in the last fortnight, it's the same company that owns both brands.

    Query on Samuel Gawith/Gawith Hoggarth

    Gawaith Hogarth bought SG to keep them producing tobacco. Comoy have been a brand of Cadogan since 1980, along with BBB, GBD and Barling. All of these brands are considered to have declined under their stewardship, but making pipes is a core component of the business.

    The original Oom Paul was a Peterson. It caused a bit of stir, but gave Peterson brand recognition.

    I only have one Pete, though I've had a few in the past. Being me, it's a Hungarian.

    Alternative to Alcohol?

    About 10 years here, I'm not counting. After being detoxed I adopted the attitude that I'm an ex-alcoholic, not a recovering one. It allows me not to dwell on that time, so no bad dreams. Edit: another vote for isopropanol here.

    Which Essential Oil for Mold Prevention?

    I'm not sure I can be of much help, except to say that of the essential oils you've mentioned - clove is used to flavour tobacco, so that would be my choice.

    Recent TAD Pick-Ups

    So far, the Orcilla Mixture is the only Robert Lewis tobacco I've tried. It fills a specific niche in my rotation. I expect I'll get round to trying Tree Mixture at some point.

    English Blends with Little to No Latakia ?

    Originally it was a personal blend for a minister in the Church of Scotland. As a Scot I have no idea of how Cavendish got associated with Scotland.

    Nice Weather Today, Dragged Some Equipment Outside and Made a Pipe…

    Interesting, I've been wondering how a fruitwood pipe would look with the grain running like that.
