    Horrible customer service. Used to be great but they let the business and customer service go to shit.

    Who Did Your First Commissioned Pipe, and When?

    Adam Remington in 2010…such a talented American pipe maker. I guess he’s no longer making pipes though. After that it was Michael Parks

    Preserve Your Cellars

    I’ve been doing what this guy said in his post for years. All non C&D and Mcclelland type tins get parafilm wrapped as explained below. I don’t do this on opened tins as I transfer anything opened to Mason jars.
