Egg McMuffin No Cheese, Large Decaf With
I'm not sure if its everywhere, but in my neck of NYC, (bronx) coffee, any size at McD's is 99 cents. And, the coffee is excellent. But I can't go in there. I am a cruel boss and send my employees in there to fight with them to get a 'dark' coffee. Since creams and sugars were removed from...- allan

How to avoid rim darkening?
Black coffee? Never heard of that trick, but I'm going to give it a go. I was obsessive about my pipes, but now I'm more relaxed. I agree, if one is going to sell a pipe, keeping it pristine is certainly the way to go. But, for an old shoe, I just let it age naturally.- allan

Early morning pipe
I'm going to suggest another idea. Captain Black (my go to favorite close to 40 years ago) is an aro; a drug store aro. Lots of polyglycol goop in it making it last on the shelf till nearly the end of time. Adjusting to a chemical free (aside from casings, which are not additives in the this...- allan

Salt treatment: some questions
I believe Pat is correct. It is a harsh treatment. When the pipe is tasting 'funny', sometimes I'll use the retort which is slightly less invasive than the salt treatment.[list] IMHO- allan

Your Top Ten Pipes Tobaccos That Are No Longer Available!
Sable got it Sobranie No. 759, to be specific. I wasn't there to try it originally, but a pipe club member/visitor gave me 1/2 a tin after sharing it with everyone. The most unbelievable, unattainable, most soft after copied tobacco. As in Blackhouse, the new Balkan Sobranie, etc. I still have...- allan
