    How important is the tobacco quality?

    Even if you're enjoying the tobacco you've been smoking, try something recommended here. There is a difference. About a month ago, I didn't smoke anything but Carter Hall and Prince Albert. I did that for almost three weeks. I don't mind those: they're over the counter (OTC) blends that are...

    Social connotations of cigarettes, cigars, and pipes

    Last night, I was watching behind-the-scenes bonus features for season two of 24. At one point Kiefer Sutherland is getting told he's needed. He's been relaxing. He takes a final drag on a cigarette and goes back to work. Now imagine he had been smoking a cigar or pipe. At a few other points, we...

    Too Many Tins Open?

    I've got one empty jar. You guys have persuaded me to crack open another tin. BlackHouse, it shall be.

    Organize By Blend Or By Pipe?

    I choose pipes and tobacco independently of one another. Some pipes are for any tobacco, and others only for Latakia blends, regardless of shape or bowl capacity. It's likely that future pipes will be restricted to Latakia, since that is what I'm focused on. I don't smoke my Cobs much, but those...

    Sixpence Revisited

    Sixpence was one of the first four tobaccos I tried after OTCs. It was the least favorite in flavor. The others were all Dunhill English blends. On a side note, I'm finding I don't like flakes much. Crumble cake, yes; flakes, no.

    "Cardboard" Tins: How Long Will They Cellar?

    I wish all tobacco came in the shoe polish tins. They take less space than the cheese dip containers. When I open a "tin" of either type, I jar it, which takes even more space.

    Flooded Basement...Save the Cellar!

    I've lost too many books to water into an apartment. Last weekend I was monitoring with a flashlight the rain water pooling outside my "patio" door. Luckily, it stopped raining. I got my guitars and amp off the floor, moved some boxes of books, and hoped the water wouldn't flood the entire...

Another book I am reading in (it's a reference book)...

    Recent Pease/C&D tins too dry?

    Last night I opened my tin of their Private Stock, a crumble cake, and it almost falls apart at the slightest tug. It smokes fine, though.

    Loose Cut Straight Burley Suggestions

    C&D Big 'n' Burley was recommended to me a while back and I liked it. It only comes in bulk, I think.

    C&D Pirates Kake

    "Less savory" is a good description. "Less tang" fits, too. It's good.

    Captain Earle's Diamond Head

    Interestingly, smoking this blend today, I have no complaints. I'm drinking coffee with it and it tastes fine, without the sharpness I experienced before.

    Methods for Storing pipe tobacco short term

    There must be people that can food at home in the UK. Maybe there's a jar maker there like Mason here in the States.
