    unfortunately I have the opposite problem, "Typing diarrhea." I think it, type it and then hit 'Send Post' before self editing. I admire your restraint MSO

    Sam Gawith's 1792 Flake Query.

    @ Cosmic - SG's "Lakeland Dark" is an unflavored 1792. It just has an unfortunate name that everyone associates with granny scented tobacco. BTW - I saw another thread recently about a geranium/granny's floor mat/stereotypical lakeland scented tobacco and the poster blamed Tonquin. It is NOT...

    Sam Gawith's 1792 Flake Query.

    I'm no tobacco expert, but I have smoked a good amount of this wonderful flake for years. My take... The bitterness and vanillaish flavor seem to fade a bit, but some of the subtle vanilla and herbal quality do stick around. It mellows a bit with age and smooths out IMO The only way to know...

    Warrior Plug Substitute

    just ordered some from Stan. Can't wait to try this plug. Now I just need to try McQuaid and Cotton Bol to complete my recent plug quest

    Official FREE Pay It Forward Thread

    @unclescot - yeah. Cigars are great. I most often want a pipe, but when the urge strikes for a cigar, only a good cigar satisfies. I smoke cigars socially, and sometimes at home, and a pipe in the car/fishing/at home. I think most folks here enjoy quality tobacco in more than 1 form. What...

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (November 2016)

    C&D Corn Cob Pipe in a GBD Canadian Sandblast. Kids are in bed and I'm enjoying the silent smoke time. @bluegrassbrian - nice combo. I enjoy that one myself.

    HBO TV Series 'Deadwood'.

    Jay, I only watched a few episodes a couple years ago, but your thread reminded me of the series. I'm now most of the way through season 1 using my "On demand" service. Thanks for bringing it up. I'm thoroughly enjoying myself.

    Pipes and Cigars low stock

    I'll happily order from P&C at some point, I've always gotten great service, but I've been purchasing elsewhere lately. Can't buy something that's not in stock EDIT: Perfectly understandable Russ. Again, no sour grapes here, just try to buy from wherever I can get the most of what I'm looking...

    2016-2017 Box Pass Thread

    I really have to join this next time. Between the "Pay it forward", and "Secret Santa", and other sharing with members, I've had a lot of fun sharing and sampling.

    The (un)Official Pipes Magazine Secret Santa - 2016 Edition

    I'm glad everyone is having so much fun with this. What a cool idea. Thank you Pruss. Can't wait to see what my victim thinks of his shipment of Bokrum Riff & Bugler (kidding. I'm a dick, but not that much of one)

    What Flavourings In Peterson's Irish Flake?

    what flavorings? Angel farts - It's good stuff. I swear I taste a bit of licorice, but mostly tobacco. Good stuff

    Tobacco Drying Mistake Gave Me The Best Smoke In Ages.

    "Accidentally over drying" is the story of my life. In the evening, I often dry tobacco a bit to what I consider perfect and load a pipe. Then one of the kids needs something, I realize I need to be up for work in 4 hours, or any number of distractions and I find myself smoking it the next...

    The Wrist Watch

    I love my wrist watches. I put them up there with a belt and pocket knife as things no man should ever leave the house without. I usually wear my cheap Timex to work because it really does "take a lickin' and keep on tickin'." My favorite right now is a Citizen I bought sight unseen a few...

    Cake already in bowl on new pipe aquisition

    It has been a few years since I bought an estate, but I always took it down to bare wood **Slowly and Carefully. Others will rightly point out that this could be a bad idea because of the danger of exposing a crack in the briar. I was just more comfortable starting with a cleaner pipe. Make...

    Best tobacco packing method?

    Unfortunately there is no magic method - at least not in my experience. I had an old guy show me when I first started and he saw me jamming my finger in to pack it :oops: Just pick a method that seems the best/easiest to you and keep with that one. Don't get discouraged, it takes time to get...

    Whats your favorite smoke RIGHT NOW

    yup. As much as I enjoy St. James Flake, I'd love to get my grubby little hands on the plug. Brown Sugar Flake is another one I'm hoping will become available in the US again at some point.
