    Retailer Communication: Am I Expecting Too Much?

    Hey everyone. So I’m just venting a little about some communication issues I’m having with a “well known” online vendor. I have emailed a couple times with no response. It’s been about 4-5 days. With today’s technology and having a cell phone in your pocket 24-7, why is it too much to ask for a...

    Picked This Up Off Side Of The Road

    Just wanted to show off my sweet "road trash" find the other day. I don't normally go looking for stuff like this, but on my way home from work I slammed the brakes on when I saw it gleaming in the sunshine. A Weber gas BBQ! I always drool over these at the hardware stores and have always wanted...

    Post-Smoking Mouth Care

    Just curious to know if anyone else here has a routine mouth care regime after smoking. I normally do a water rinse and brush my teeth to freshen up. What do you guys do (if anything)?

    Combining Cigars With Pipes

    I was working the other day in a guys house, and caught a whiff of some wonderful tobacco coming from his garage, so of course I followed the aroma and caught the guy with a pipe in his mouth!! Needless to say I was pretty excited to find another brother of the briar. I asked what he was smoking...

    Do You Buy In Bulk Over Tins When Available?

    Just curious to know if you guys prefer single tins vs an 8oz can or bulk option. It seems that you get a whole tins worth "free" if you buy in an 8oz tub, and 2 full "free" tins if you opt for the 1lb boxes. I go for the bulk everytime for the extra "free tobacco". I don't mind all the mason...

    Looking For A Little Reassurance...

    So this hopefully isn't a big deal or anything to worry about, but I placed a rather large order that included a nice pipe, nice lighter, and quite a bit of tobacco that is 4 days past the delivery date. Normally I wouldn't worry about this because I normally keep orders small, but this one was...

    My Spring Project Has Been Decided

    Woke up this morning at 5am and started the coffee pot, loaded up a bowl of FVF in my churchwarden for a nice relaxing porch chair smoke and coffee, and as soon as I step outside, I realize that it's way too damn cold to sit and get any enjoyment from my plan. -25 and heavy wind to boot. So I...

    Do You Smoke Entire Bowl At Once, Or Sessions?

    Just a fun little thread I thought I'd create, and I know if @chasingembers doesn't get to vote on a poll once in while, he goes a little squirrely, so I'll add one of those.

    My First Real Burley Experience

    So I am just finishing off a bowl of my very first true burley blend, Amphora Burley. I'm not too sure what to think of it just yet. It wasn't terrible in any way or offensive... Just not as good as a solid Va? The flavour was just a little bland and bitter to me. I'm going to continue the...

    Preventing Ebonite Oxidation

    So I know there are alot of threads on how to restore an old or oxidized stem, but let's say the stem is brand new and untarnished. Is there a way to prevent it altogether, and never have to worry about sanding or any of that stuff? Has anyone ever tried a coat of beeswax to seal it, or...

    OK Everyone. Enough Is Enough

    Alright, so I am approaching 20lbs of tobacco in my cellar. I know that may not sound like a lot to some of you, but at the rate I smoke, that’s probably 10-15 years, maybe more, of stock. I think I’m going to stop buying it just to stockpile it, and let it buffer as I only buy new stuff that I...

    The Reliability of Mason Jars for Long Term Aging/Storage

    So I was admiring my collection of tobacco filled mason jars the other day and got thinking "I wonder if these are sealed 100%, and if they are, will the rubber seal eventually degrade and become no longer viable? I do not bother vacuum sealing or heating jars or anything of the sort. I just...
