The Swirl Method
I don't smoke much ribbon, actually very little. Have never smoked out of a pouch and I can see where that may make a difference. So I broke out some of "Romeowood's own" blend from the box pass, which by the way is great stuff! Want more! Must have more! :worship: So I've always used the three...- dragonslayer

Dunhill Pipes
The only one I really want is my birth year Dunhill (1960) which is like your passage as a "pipe collector". Actually two are on Ebay right now and they'll go for over $400. Dave loves to show me them, and I love him for it... Though its a *tear* moment :crying: . But once the cellar is...- dragonslayer

Fiebring's Leather Dye
Almost all of the makers use it, or at least they say they do ;) I do the 50/50 91% method and has worked great. Yep CVS cheap and great for pipe cleaning. Seen it in other stores and way more expensive. Craig- dragonslayer

Prepping Sam Gawith's Full Virginia Flake
Oh I should have added in for both FVF and SJF along with anything really VA. 1 year properly aged makes a HUGE difference in the smoke. BBF is the driest of the group and really you can get away with little dry time depending on flake thickness. BBF tends not to be as uniform in the plank size...- dragonslayer

P&C Doubles Prices on Esoterica Bags
I couldn't resist :) It's the pool hall man in ya Harris! You've got the secret handshake with Rich lols. But really when you look at even your orders, these guys make nothing on tobacco. You figure in the shipping right off the top on $100-$200 orders. There's $5-$7. what it costs to have...- dragonslayer

P&C Doubles Prices on Esoterica Bags
Harris I know you've bought a ton from P&C and been a big advocate for them. You buy like most people, best price being a major factor. You and Peck (and others) buy large amounts and when you place an order it's big and they'll take great care of you. That's business 101. I know in my...- dragonslayer

Prepping Sam Gawith's Full Virginia Flake
FVF and SJF are great blends. They take a lot of heat from people because of the moisture content. Cubing is the best way to smoke them IMO, but here's what I found the best way and has never let me down. I take 4 or so 6" flakes, tins are 3" but it doesn't matter. I take my time and cut them up...- dragonslayer

Oh Pipes and Cigars..
@papipeguy Niko does rock, from the post times looks like it was handled fairly fast. Enjoy the gift! @Pipebow Sorry to hear about the tobacco. In the future I would suggest you call customer service. I think you'll find a better result than an Email on something like this. That set aside I...- dragonslayer

Giving Jacknife Plug Another Try
I purchased JKP for two reasons. It was Pease so I know there's something different going on, and I've little experience with plugs so a great opportunity from a blender I respect. From the reviews and my own experiences with Pease products they need some time in the cellar. The results are what...- dragonslayer

P&C Doubles Prices on Esoterica Bags
I found that while the thread pounced on a company that many people have built large cellars from turned the topic about a price increase on a small brand, and basically two blends into how good other companies are in comparison. I ran my original post past a good friend and respected poster on...- dragonslayer

P&C Doubles Prices on Esoterica Bags
I see we're back to bashing P&C, this time over a small brand with a handful of blends, most of which are available because they don’t sell. So this brings us to the two blends this is really about -- Penzance and Stonehaven. My estimates are that a third is picked up by the B&M retail shops...- dragonslayer

Dunhill 1978 Seven-Pipe Set in Root Briar on Ebay.
To be honest from what I see in the grain is mostly Birdseye and horizontal. I'd bet most artisans today would sandblast these briars after shaping.- dragonslayer

Sutliff Tin Question for Cellaring
Have to make this a quick one. Sutliff is high quality tobacco, and blends. There packaging is not however. The main reason for rolled tin packaging is money. Single press tins are the best but cost more. I've had one with a bad crimp at the bottom that leaked into the container. Outside...- dragonslayer

Tips For Smoking Coin Tobacco?
If you see anything that's got age on it in a B&M pick it up! Hell worst case you can trade it. I've prepared Roll Cake a few ways and found the best is in sipping it. Proper dryness in coins makes a difference, like most flake is a steam issue. Plus the difference between smoldering briquettes...- dragonslayer
