    Former Prime Ministers Pipe Sold

    I hope the buyer was Bob Hoskins. I can see him smoking it and in his best gangster voice saying, "This righ 'ere, it's the Proyme Ministahs pipe, it is. AN 'AT MEANS OY'M THA PROYME MINISTAH NOW!" And then shooting somebody. With his crazy eyes. But I digress. Cool!

    Aap se milkar bohut khushie hui, Guruji :-) Smoke everything you can get your hands on, it's the best way to find out what you like.

    Tin Dating

    When I want to date a tin I usually bring flowers. And shave.

    The Theory Behind Aging Tobaccco

    The easy and obvious answer to the whole debate, of course, is to buy enough that you won't be disturbing the entire stock of Tobacco X when you want to sample some at periodic intervals.

    Dorisco Mixture Review by Romeowood

    Unfortunately, not a whole lot. At times I had to double-check which tin I was sampling. Disappointing from the collector standpoint, certainly, but still I can't call it a bad smoke. It won't become part of my regular rotation, but I may buy one now and again if the mood strikes and there's one...

    Monday Night Fights IV: Old School vs New School

    I do hit the Carter Hall with my uncle, but agree on it not being the best aftertaste. Before-dinner smoke, not after. And I haven't had the Angler's since the beta testing either; I'll have to revisit. Recusing myself for this round, unfortunately.

    Most Controversial Tobacco Blends

    Fascinating approach to a juicy question, hfearly. Evident already from the comments, though, is the ever-elusive (illusive?) nature of the beast: one man's aromatic is another man's english. Trying to categorize some of these blends down is an effort in futility, and therein lies one of the...

    What Are You Smoking? *March 2013*

    Peterson Holiday 2010 in a Sasieni. Man I love the time-capsule quality of a jar from the cellar.

    Anybody Else Been Enjoying Miskatonic?

    Hehe, thanks mrlower. I can only apologise that it sat in my backlogged files for so long, a disservice to Baron's efforts. Totally worthy of the Lovecraftian legacy.

    Anybody Else Been Enjoying Miskatonic?

    Some unfortunate souls have...and by the smile on the face of the corpse, he did not regret it one bit.... Miskatonic University Review or The Whispering Package I. Nigh some weeks had passed since the package had arrived at my less-than-credible domicile. It had arrived in the depth of the...

    Sasieni Ruff Root Light

    Crazy...I had to do a double-take when I saw those pictures; I'm smoking that pipe's identical twin and actually had to take it out of my mouth and make sure it wasn't the one in the photos. Eerily similar blast / grain pattern to mine. Aw man, now I'm going to have to bid on it....

    Tobacco Cellar

    Nice spread, hfearly :clap: Really like the colour coding. I too use tobaccocellar,com, it's a great no-frills route to keep the data stored and fun to check out other cellars. It needs some tweaking for sure, particularly in the usage tracking--there is no way my cellar will last me 77...

    New Box Pass Thread

    Yes, taerin / Eric / He Who Would Not Be Named gracefully bowed out of this round, I thought I notified you via PM Baron but my scattered brain may have simply imagined that...stranger things have happened, and if so, I do apologize. I also thought I posted that, but now I look back and see that...

    Monday Night Fights III: Irish Civil War

    I'm siding with the UF for this one too. For me it's the ultimate small-chambered Dublin smoke, for obvious reasons. Strangely, I always hear "Danny Boy" done techno / dubstep style in my head while smoking it...perhaps it's the nicotine. :crazy:

    The Best VaBur May Not Be a Pipe Tobacco At All....

    The "new" Three Nuns is a VaBur, eschewing the Perique for white burley and dark-fired Kentucky. It's a pale shadow utterly different from its previous incarnation, but a very good blend in its own right, and a nice ribbon / shag cut that's suitable for RYO as well. They really shouldn't have...

    Good Bulk VaPer

    Anni Kake is brilliant, a sweet, savory, punchy VaPer that ages divinely, as stated. Daughters & Ryan's SJ Rimboche is a great loose cut that is on the opposite end of the spectrum, a very dry, bright VA-forward blend with 100% St. James--I love it as a blender, usually upping the Perique to...
