    An Inexpensive Way to Store Your Tobacco for the Long Haul

    I am glad they work for you. I fear glass containers because if they break, I am not able to clean up the mess. I wish I could still use container like these. Edwin

    An Inexpensive Way to Store Your Tobacco for the Long Haul

    Good Morning saintpeter, I understand completely. I lost the mobility, agility and coordination in both my hands and part of my arms - of course from the waist down I am dead - I am in a wheelchair. I can usually still fill and clean my pipe myself, but not always. If the container to store my...

    An Inexpensive Way to Store Your Tobacco for the Long Haul

    Hello Peter, True, but i do not like 'glass'. I am too clumsy and glass will break. these are hard plastic and cost about $4-$6 each. I have used the BALL jars in the past , but my agility is shot, so I need something safer. Thanks for the input Edwin

    An Inexpensive Way to Store Your Tobacco for the Long Haul

    Being on a very limited income ($802 per month), I have had to adapt. I enjoy smoking my pipe. GOD has given me this pleasure, though I have lost everything else, GOD has given me this to keep. I work on a 30 day rotation of the pipe tobacco blends I smoke. Every day a different blend. That...

    Coffee House Special

    sumusfumus, he are more detailed instructions... Actually, “Coffee House Special” is a way to liven up any blend. You can take your favorite morning blend and liven it up with the “Coffee House Special” process. Sort of like Cavendish is a process for individual tobacco, “Coffee House Special”...

    My friend seldom, this may help even more... Actually, “Coffee House Special” is a way to liven up any blend. You can take your favorite morning blend and liven it up with the “Coffee House Special” process. I liked smoking “Black Gold” first thing in the morning, so I used that blend to make my...

    Need Advice

    Good afternoon comicfolklore, Good to hear from you. THANK YOU for your advice! I know nothing about that company. I did not know they made pipes for other companies. As far budget, I will have to shop around and find who has the lowest price. I do not auction websites, so i stay clear of them...

    alaskanpiper, Thank you for you input. I have never owned a CHACOM so i did not know whether it is a decent pipe, especially since it is only $50. Thank you Edwin

    Has Anybody Tried the Espresso Tobacco Blend?

    mso489, I do not expect to drink my tobacco blend, but when I draw in I would like to have the taste of the tobacco blend plus a taste of espresso in the background. The tobacco blend is the main thing, that is why i was asking about "Cornell & Diehl: Espresso ". have you tried it? Edwin

    Need Advice

    I want to buy another pipe, but I am on a budget. A tight budget. Since I am unable to work anymore, I receive $802/month from Social Security and that is all I have to live on – as I said a tight budget. I want the “Chacom: USA Smooth Lovat”. Is that a decent pipe? I can’t spend hundreds of...

    Has Anybody Tried the Espresso Tobacco Blend?

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title - Bob Has any one tried the “Cornell & Diehl: Espresso”? If it is good, I want to use it for my “Coffee House Special” blend. That would save me from “casing” the “Black Gold” from Milan t get the taste. Then I would only have to do a “topping” of ‘Coffee...

    sumusfumus, Glad I could help. Sorry I misunderstood you. If I can help in any way, just ask. Edwin

    Memories

    comicfolklore, True coffee is a hard 'fragrance' to work with, especially with tobacco. That is why I use it only as a "topping" not to 'case' or add flavor to the blend. "toppings" are only for smell and they burn off rapidly and that is what we want. The smell of early morning coffee as we...

    Memories

    mikethompson, There are many coffee aromatics. It is the smell of fresh roasted coffee beans that mingle with the tobacco blend to enhance your smoking experience. No added taste to distract from the tobacco blend, just the added good morning smell to help get you started. Have a great day Edwin

    Coffee House Special

    sumusfumus; forgive me, I though you wanted the break down of "Black Gold' blend. I purchase 8oz of Black Gold which I 'top' with about 1ml of 'coffee bean oil' as a spray. lay out-spread out the 8oz of 'Black Gold' then spray the blend with a 'topping' of coffee bean oil (be careful, coffee...

    Taking Care of Your Pipe

    I have a 'razor sharp' blade and rub it gently over the Tenon. I get only a light powder, just enough to loosen the stem so that i can remove it easier. My hands are crippled now (as of 3 years ago) so it is harder for me to do things than it was years ago. I never had this problem in the 70's...

    Taking Care of Your Pipe

    comicfolklore, Thank you for your input on the Graphite. When i shave the tenon, believe me, it is only a hair. The tenon is never lose or sloppy, just easier to insert and remove. with a new pipe the stem is usually easy, but over the years it seem to get harder. i busted a 'Lorenzo' pipe...

    Coffee House Special

    sumusfumus, I purchase the "Black Gold" blend from Milan Tobacconist in Virginia. Their description of the blend is; a rich, smooth smoking marriage of Black and Aged Maduro Cavendish mixed with a light vanilla casing, mahogany colored Burley, and just the right touch of Virginia Flake for...

    Coffee House Special

    captainsousie, it is palatable. The 'coffee bean oil' is only used as a "topping" not to case the tobacco. so the blend does not change, only the smell when you you first light up and for a while when you are smoking. Edwin

    Coffee House Special

    seldom, I have a question for you. when you light the pipe, do you smell the fresh roasted coffee beans, not taste them or coffee, just smell the fresh roasting coffee beans. I have blends that have coffee flavor added to the blend. I have blends that go well with a cup of coffee. However...
