    What's Your Weather Like?

    Well the news and the Internet says its cold. Looked out the window and I have to agree. :puffy: Craig

    Four New Rad's at SP

    Four new Rad's at SP and tears on this one. http://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/rad-davis/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=134510 With the price it's probably already gone. Six months from now I could pull the trigger. I've got to stick to my plans and the PAD will pass. Oh well, I'm sure a sweet one...

    Which Pease blend has the best room note?

    I can only go on my wife's comments due to heavy smoke and saw dust. But of all the blends she's commented on Haddo's Delight as her favorite. Craig

    What pipe forums do you read?

    This one mainly but also PSF and BoB mostly to keep in touch with my good friend who's no longer here :crying: I also do a lot of reading on the pipe makers forum. Craig

    Pipe Tobacco With Cigar Leaf, What's Good?

    +1 on H&H Virginia Spice. When I want to smoke a cigar, that's what I'll light. Personally, I'm not a big fan of having the cigar leaf in my pipe tobacco. You got your peanut butter in my chocolate. VS IMO is basically Louisiana Red with cigar leaf. It's nice and spicy from the reds and Perique...

    Revamped P&C Website

    We knew it was coming and having used the CI site before it’s not that difficult, but I did like the old one better. It was easier to just bounce around checking things out. This takes getting used to and has some problems I’m sure will be fixed. Graphics of course are missing and the key...

    Pipes & Cigars Pipe Tobacco of the Month Club

    The club is way over due but P&C along with Russ is the perfect match to give it a try. This will probably be copied by SP, which is a good thing, though will lack a public/prominent front man. Besides just the discount offers, add one good and unique discount deal for the month, this would...

    Tobacco Beetles

    I think the chance of a tin problem would be extremely unlikely. The facilities and being vacuum sealed would probably take care of the buggers. Jarring bulk is a different story and it's worth taking a quick look every few weeks for a couple months, after that you're probably in the clear. I...

    Stonehaven Auctions

    Planatary you're right on point. Tobacco is a great investment as are pipes which is increasing thanks to non-smokers and artisan's producing one of a kind works of art. The somewhat named grey-market of tobacco sales and trade will become very common. It may be the only way to acquire tobacco...

    Stonehaven Auctions

    On the OP, the price curve on all tobacco will become steeper, some far more than others. Controlling the supply on a few is increasing the value into the "worth it" area and greed becoming more common. There's a difference between making a profit and profiting by breaking rules or laws. Being...

    Tobacco Beetles

    Well they were winged little guys Harris and glad I caught it right away. But you're right they smoke just fine :puffy: Craig

    Stonehaven Auctions

    Being in the consignment area of the retail site is fine. Selling the product in your Ebay store is not. I've got no problem with making money on tobacco, but there are rules. Craig

    Frozen Tobacco

    If you look at the procedure for killing off tobacco beetles the important thing is to return the tobacco to room temperature gradually. If it's frozen I'd put it in the refrigerator for a day. This would be less of a stress on the cell structure. Having gone through the freezing process I found...

    Stonehaven Auctions

    After the lengthy and brutal condemnation of P&C, including this post: I'm not going to get into a rant except to Ebay. I'm a capitalist and all for the increase of value in tobacco from an investment prospective, but not being a hypocrite and playing by the rules counts. Craig

    Packing Up The Shop....

    Zack from the almighty Rad. 5hp, 2 phase which will have electrical issues you may want to get a head start on. You may be all over it though. Moving sucks good thing you're going locally. Moving back and forth to HI the return trip had our container raided and got a few bucks but nothing to...

    Tobacco Beetles

    I received a pound of SJF that had some white edges on it. Being to young for plume I got out the magnifying lens and there they were. Little larvae and a few bugs. Double wrapped it in freezer bags and deep froze for two days, then two days in the frig to bring it back up to temperature slowly...
