    How Many Pounds To Cellar To Last 10 Years?

    For those who have "done the math" on long term cellaring, how many pounds does one need to put away to last 10 years? And for those who post, how many bowls a day/week/month are you planning to smoke from the stash so that it will last the full 10 years? This forum has to be the best place in...

    Collecting older tins

    I collect the tins! Full, when I can; the art work is great and speaks to me of a culture at peace with itself, free, enthusiastic, new. American through and through!

    I Want To Smoke Forever! (but I need some help figureing out how)

    I'm daunted by how many mason jars and how much room I'll need to lay in a lifetime's supply (like one or two hundred pounds)of tobacco like some of the more forsightful members here. SO! Any suggestions for BULK flakes that might not take up so much room, won't break the bank, but are still...

    A sad state of affairs...

    Yoru has a whole bunch of very valid points. And as to how we got where we are Kevin and Tommy ,here's a part of the story. The U.S. government helps fund The American Cancer Society, a BIG gun in the anti-smoker lobby. The American Cancer Society is also one of a handfull of charities that...

    Are there any States where you can still smoke at work?

    I live in Florida, a state burdened by a "clean indoor air act". They banned smoking, EVERYWHERE except a few bars where food isn't served (and casinos, of course)---even in private clubs! So, are there any Free States left where you can smoke at work, or are they all Ban States? How about...

    Pipe Smokers Should Be Concerned About New Cigarette Laws

    I believe in "follow the money". Someone is probably makeing money attacking smoking. I also believe in smug moralising. Someone is feeling mighty morally superior by having harsh laws passed aganst smokers. I also blame polititians for using the power of the state to threaten our rights...

    Does Anyone Know What's Up With Pipestud's Website?

    I enjoy Pipestud's site and it has a) changed it's look, b) hasn't been updated since December 15th and c) is mostly just blank. Now it's well known that I am prone to premature panic (look for me at the head of any TAD stampede) so any updates would be appreciated.

    Where are all the Peter Stokkebye flakes?

    Does anyone know if there is another "supply problem" brewing with Peter Stokkebye flakes? It seems like they are disappearing from most of the e-tailers I follow.

    What's Wrong with the Anti-Smoking Nazis?

    The thing to remember about antis is they are dead serious and SMART. Want to show the world that an individual isn't part of the group/tribe? Refuse to eat with them. Make them stand outside the group. Tell all who will listen that they are "unclean". Does any of that sound familiar to any...

    My first experience with pipe cleaning

    With everclear/151 rum, the black stem, hard plastic or vulcanite, of the older pipe I was cleaning turmed a rusty brown on the spot where the alcahol touched it. I don't think it was there a long time. It did a great cleaning job otherwise, just as you and others have said bubbadreier. So is...

    My first experience with pipe cleaning

    For bubbadreier and others who use everclear/151, I tried it. It worked great, but I got some on one of the stems. The look of it sent me running to the forum to learn real quick about stem polishing! Was this just the particular stem I was working on, or will it do that to most stems?

Here is the description I found: JackKnife Plug - dark-fired Kentucky leaf and ripe red Virginia tobaccos, with their deep, earthy flavors, are layered on a central core of golden flue-cured...

    My first purchase from Boswell's

    I saw what Buckeye goes through to smoke "outside" up there in cold country. If he likes a blend, you KNOW its got to be good. So, its Sweet Tea on my list too buck67.
