    Cigarillos: Humidor?

    ok your homework task (should you choose to accept it) is to use your PS skills with something like the clone stamp to remove the sticker and replace with the wood effect (cant leave it as a half-arsed job, do it properly man :LOL:

    Cigarillos: Humidor?

    OK is no one going to mention the 'general warning' sticker or is it an ongoing pun & i'm late to the party either way its a nice touch ;)

    Aromatic Won't Stay Lit

    One has to wonder if the draught hole is being blocked (even partially) when you pack/tamp or (less likely) whether the airway is fully clear or needs some cleaning/obstruction removed

    Warning Labels Now Required On All Pipe Tobacco Packages in the US?

    Anyway, warning labels are not just for kids. If infinity stones had warning labels we could’ve all been spared 22 films and a lot of wasted years ?

    Warning Labels Now Required On All Pipe Tobacco Packages in the US?

    The UK (& even here on this lil island are way ahead of you) Tobacco products not only in plain packing but out of sight at point of sale in a little secret cupboard like in Hogwarts. I mean one or the other, we don't need both

    Warning Labels Now Required On All Pipe Tobacco Packages in the US?

    With respect Isn’t this the same nation that has warning text on your peanuts saying ‘Warning, may contain nuts’ Isn’t this the same nation who have warnings on their McD’s coffee cups saying ‘Caution, contents are hot’ Didn't I even read about a warning on a mirror saying 'Warning, items...

    How I Break In A New Pipe

    Admittedly I have a limited range of pipes and tobaccos but after taking a quick look, none of the packaging contained any 'instructions for use' either as part of a ‘breaking in’ process or for on-going use, so like others I’ve usually just gone with my gut and packed some tobacco in the big...

    Pipes and Cigars.com Effs it Up Again....

    So if I was playing devils wotsit I’d be saying it seems this retailer is supposed to use additional packing (& the time/money that costs) because the carrier is known to not treat their packages with any basic respect. Maybe that’s the right way to handle it or maybe the ire should be aimed at...

    Pipes and Cigars.com Effs it Up Again....

    Forgive my out of town question... What is it the retailer did wrong?

    Pipe Tamper Preference Poll

    Replying to my own post here because I just bought two tampers last night! First is just that Nail design tamper bit like a metal golf tee, and the other is the popular 3-1 tool shaped like a pipe for use in the house I think I'll still use wooden golf tees too, I spend too much time on a golf...

    Tobaccos Exclusive To England

    Also worth remembering that almost every newsagent (small shop) and supermarket in the UK has a license to sell tobacco and while its not 'on display' and the range will be limited they will all have the popular OTC stuff

    Pipe Tamper Preference Poll

    Golf tees are free and that's my preferred tamper, so if i bought one it'd be different to what i get for free but of a similar size

    Pricey Pipes.

    But How it Smokes is not the only measure when considering the price of any pipe

    Losing Interest IN Cubans

    Well there's no saving for me buying locally as they are both roughly the same, so if I have to pay 16 bucks a pop then at the moment the money's going on a Davidoff, leaving aside taste & flavour the draw quality is just so much better compared to the cuban stock i've had recently

    Pricey Pipes.

    Your statement “These smoke exactly the same” is too much of a generalisation Are we to take it that in any environment, wind, moisture level or temperature, indoor or out and regardless of user experience/skills… “These smoke exactly the same” taken as a measure, is always true? Is it even...

    Pricey Pipes.

    as I say, if 'how they smoke' is the measure, they can be close (being exactly the same is probably an exception/fluke or simply that the differences are less noticeable)
