    How to Pack Cellar for Moving Cross-Country.

    Might have to find some of these and give them a try!

    How to Pack Cellar for Moving Cross-Country.

    That's kind of what I was thinking. I've dropped a jar on our tile floor from 4 ft up and it just bounced as I held my breath and hoped it didn't break. I'm probably going to do exactly what @didimauw did with the jars: Put them in plastic totes with some padding to keep them from bouncing...

    Rattrays

    I really like all three, but Marlin flake is the one I've chosen to stock up on. I do like having all three on hand though. If you like Va forward/VaPer blends I think they are all must tries.

    How to Pack Cellar for Moving Cross-Country.

    Yeah that’s my primary concern. It’s just not feasible for me to pack these in a car. I’d have to choose between bringing my wife and dogs or the tobacco. The move will be happening Sept 15ish, so I might take a look at temps and decide then, and then leave the boxes of unopened tins here and...

    How to Pack Cellar for Moving Cross-Country.

    If only moving was that easy! I’d beam the entire house, including wife and dogs. ?

    How to Pack Cellar for Moving Cross-Country.

    Hi all. I am moving from Tucson, AZ to Cincinnati, OH in about 4 weeks. Among other logistical challenges is the problem of how to move a not huge, but also not insignificant cellar (maybe 20-25 pds). The cellar is generally packed in a combination of unopened tins, canning jars, and mylar...

    Broken Castello

    Hey everyone. I just wanted to thank y'all for your great responses, and especially @georged for giving me both the simple answer as well as the complicated answer (I love detailed, complicated answers!). I am fairly sure based on the appearance of the inner tube that it's aluminum, so later...

    Broken Castello

    Thank you for this excellent reply. I will try to determine what material the tube was. Do you have any recommendations as to who would be best suited to do this work? You? Mike Myers?

    Broken Castello

    So, I bought this estate Castello 75 Sea Rock G from a forum member back in May. It was a fantastic smoker with a huge chamber that would last 90+ minutes. A couple of weeks ago, I was smoking it in my car on the way to go for a hike. I finished my smoke, then ran a pipe cleaner through. I...

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2021?***

    Currently enjoying a bowl of Sutliff Cringle Flake 2020 in a Tsuge Toyko series Bamboo dublin sitter.

    G.L. Pease Windjammer

    Nice write-up. I also enjoy this blend very much. I'm a big VaPer fan, and I feel like the addition of burley as well as the rum topping really set this apart from most VaPers, and add an entirely different dimension. I'm glad to have a few tins of this set aside. I think it will age...

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2021?***

    I haven't posted in here in forever, mostly because a variety of factors (weather and life-related) have prevented me from smoking more than 1-2 bowls a week these days, and for whatever reason, it's been a while since I had a bowl that really sang to me. But right now, I'm enjoying some Old...

    Where Are the Women Pipe Smokers?

    This right here. There's a pattern here. Female pipe smoker joins, and posts their welcome, often with a pic (most often, a totally normal pic too). About 70 percent of the replies are standard and welcoming, but about 30 percent are of the "yeah baby" variety, maybe not as overt as that, but...

    The Secondary Market = Comic Relief

    I think anyone who pays attention to the secondary market knows exactly what retailer this is, and they have a pretty mixed reputation if you look around a bit. I dunno who is paying those prices, maybe new money from Asia?

    B & M Shops, Cincinnati, Ohio

    Thanks for the response, fellas, and thanks for the congrats. I'll definitely be hitting up Straus when I get into town. We're looking at buying on the NE side within 15 or so minutes of downtown, so that will probably be my most convenient location. Mostly looking for someone to smoke...

    MacBaren Royal Twist Remake

    It sure sounds and looks like Doblone D’oro, right down to the loosely spun coins. Might have to seek this out. It sounds delicious.

    B & M Shops, Cincinnati, Ohio

    So, I've just accepted a job in Cincinnati, OH, so now begins the crazy, logistics intensive process of preparing a house to sell and moving my entire life there from Tucson, AZ. We should be there around September 15th, and I start at the end of September. Any advice on good B and M's in the...

    Tell Us About Your Health And Pipe Smoking

    I'm 41, 6' 00", 210 lbs (still a little overweight but I used to be 238. I smoke 2-3 bowls/day, although right now it's down to 3-4/week because our weather in Arizona is not very conducive to outdoor smoking during the summer. I have never been a regular cig smoker, although I've had a few in...

    Gawith & Hoggarth Dark Flake Scented Review

    Nice write up! I have some of this in a jar from the January Gawith drop, but I haven't tried it yet. Maybe time to get out the lakeland pipe and give it a go.

    To Coat or Not to Coat

    I've tried coating with honey, and I've tried doing absolutely nothing, and didn't notice much of a difference. My standard new pipe procedure is to use alcohol to remove any factory applied bowl coating (if applicable) and then fill at least the first five bowls all the way to the top and...
