    Where Are the Father's Day's Sales?

    We might be looking at the end game inspired by the FDA Deeming rules, amplified by the McClelland frenzy plus the collateral damage spilling over into other brands. Now the landscape has a new breed to help the usual hoarders: flippers, who are sometimes not even puffers but have EBay...

    Got a Stack, WTH do I Smoke in It?

    Yo doc picking up on Cosmic's thoughts, when you get an inch or more down the bowl for relights, I have friends who like hemp (candle) wicks. The mj puffers like hemp because it burns at a low temperature and doesn't bruise their leaf as much. The wick is fairly stiff and you can place the...

    Wanderings In My Cellar

    I've been wandering around my Cellar(s) lately, but that's because we've bought a new house. So I've been boxing up the tins, jars and bags, then transporting them via SUV. Since the new house has more than double my current space, I've put up some shelving racks, and am thinking about the...

    French Tobacco Recommendations

    yo mso The late, great Bob Runowski told me at Morley's that the raison behind the disparity of a great country with an enormous history with carving pipes having such a paucity of pipe tobaccos was that the French government owned the pipe tobacco industry, and the moribund bureaucrats never...

    Brebbia Latakia Flake No. 9 and Balkan

    yo gk Some of the Euroblenders were reputed to stretching their Syrian Lat by substituting in some Cyprian for the last few years. With the impending EU labeling requirements, I myself assumed many blenders were just using up old labels and tins while preparing for the big changes, even though...

    My Own Blend - Mrs. Nielsen’s

    Yo do One of the sponsors, the fabulous Danish Pipe Shop, is home of the MOBs. They come to Chicago, but not usually with too many tins. They have recently improved their shipping quantity rules, though I usually combine forces with fellow pipe club members to spread out the shipping cost...

    Guess What? You Actually Don't Like the Tobaccos You THINK You Do.

    When the great RussO was formulating the Missouri Meerschaum tobacco line, he used our Lehigh Valley Pipe Club as a taste panel while he sorted out the recipes. After I took some home to further sort out my impressions, I told him all four tasted a little flat. Russ asked if I'd been puffing...

    Negatives or Hazards of Retrohaling?

    I sat in on a fascinating talk by the head of the Monell Chemical Senses Center during a lunch downtown at the Science History Institute (recently named the Chemical Heritage Foundation), right across from the new American Revolution Museum near Independence Square. One of the things he...

    The Great RussO Is in the Hospital

    for the time being. I found Russ's (Ouellette) note on Facebook, and he had to go to the Lehigh Valley Hospital - Muhlenburg. He posted: "So, another foot problem, surgery, and a hospital stay. Going home today and back to work next week. Just keep on going!" and sounds in good spirits. hp les
