    The Odor Of Pipe Tobacco

    Tobacco smokes contains hydrocarbons, oxygenated compounds, nitrogen compounds and other minor things. Further these can be broken down into amines, ethers, aldehydes, phenolics and so forth. All this sounds very ominous but a large amount of these are found in everything around us and in the...

    I Hated Half & Half—Because of the Burley?

    Half and half is half Lucky Strike and half Buckingham Plug. The Lucky is Virginia and the burley is the plug if I recall. I'm thinking you try some Old Joe Krantz Blue. It has the same tobacco elements and if you don't like that then you've got something. Then in that case get some 507c and...

    Any Pipe-Related OCD Tendency?

    Yes. I have a specific spot for each tobacco pipe in its specific holder. Each spot correlates to a specific tobacco purpose. As I aquire more pipes I dedicate entire holders to that one type.

    The Odor Of Pipe Tobacco

    Yes. It has to do with VOC. Volatile organic compounds. They diffuse and disperse at different rates depending on temp and humidity. The particles become trapped in clothing like a filter media would trap them. Then they gradually become released as your clothing moves with you like shaking out...

    I wish I Could Smoke my Pipes.

    I'm working on trying to duplicate the Kaywoodie pre smoking machine. A self smoking tobacco pipe. I enjoy the smell of second hand pipe smoke so this will come in handy at times.

    Honey Cured Pipes?!?

    Does the Savinelli Miele series count? Miele is honey in Italian if I recall.

    The Odor Of Pipe Tobacco

    I worked with fragrances at research company. There were fragrances so powerful that you could not smell it from the bottle because of anosmia and the molecule overloading the senses. But a single molecule diluted can smell up an entire room. Each molecule that makes a fragrance is different...

    A Newbie Log

    If it's p-glycol laced aromatic nothing will dry it out. Then you need a really light pack and some relights are inevitable. You could microwave it but that never worked for me. If it's just sugared - sugar is a humectant - it should dry enough in a few hours. Some like straight VA will dry...

    Flake Tabac Question

    I prefer flakes rubbed out and specifically do not enjoy cube cuts so yes there is a difference though for me in the opposite direction. Plugs are even better since you have total control over the cut and prep.

    What Makes a Blend Smooth on the Retrohale?

    Just keep trying. You'll get used to it. How fast you retrohale and how much smoke you draw in plays a part too. Keep trying sht till it works...

    Coffee and Chocolate

    Choco is heavier than coffee...coffee can come off as nutty. Out of 20 parts I would use 2 to 3 parts of Choco Supreme and only 1 to 2 parts of the Choco mousse and the rest coffee. Mousse is stronger than the supreme. I use 20 parts in my own blends as a guide and none of my blends using...

    Light-Weight Pipe or Sitter?

    Same here. Sitters are not a priority for me.

    Beardies & Mould

    Perhaps this is the reason the FDA might be regulating tobacco manufacturing and production facilities more so. See my other post on the subject. In food service beard nets are required. In many non-food service applications gloves, proper clothing, PPE, masks and aprons are necessary. It's...

You've got Watch City Cigar which is a bit north of me and the local folks in my home state 4noggins. You gotta shop around and it goes by the tobacco type and...
