Old Cutter Top Tin of Tobacco You Have Enjoyed!
Greeneyes, let us know how the Black Mallory has changed. I don't think Professional has ever had much Latakia so I don't expect even a memory of it at this point, but I'd like to hear how Black Mallory has changed, it's my favorite from old Charles.- lochinvar

Old Cutter Top Tin of Tobacco You Have Enjoyed!
Just purchased a cutter top of Rattray's Professional from Pipestud. That will be the Christmas smoke with my pal Richard (manager at the Gatlinburlier if anyone has been there). Professional is not my favorite from Rattray, but Rattray is my favorite brand and when it comes to cutter tops in...- lochinvar

Peretti's - What Else Are Must Haves?
Also a fan of Tashkent, Royal and Pride of Lock Lomond. Try out Park Square or Dundeefor some VaPer tastiness, and D-9507 for a nice Latakia-less Oriental blend.- lochinvar

Packing For A Trip
Depends on the trip. For a week just anywhere, I usually take two to three pipes, a tin of of Virginia/VAPER flake, maybe a Va/Or. If it's going to be an outdoor trip, maybe two tins of a darker Virginia and two Balkans. If I 'm going somewhere with a great tobacconist, like Boston, I take two...- lochinvar

Straight Grain: Better Heat Transfer/Conduction
All of these theories have been put forward, and all of them have anecdotal evidence for and against. I have a rusticated Celius that gets hot as the doorknob to hell soon after lighting. I've got smooth pipes with grain from straight to crooked that smoke cool throughout the smoke. I think the...- lochinvar

Is Pipe Tobacco Currently Threatened in USA?
Pipe tobacco may not be outlawed, but as a niche product in a time where niche and artisan products are dying daily due to thin margins, extra regulations (costs....really kickbacks to the Stasi) will further cut the number of producers. Tobacco won't go anywhere, but instead of smoking C&D or...- lochinvar

Chacom Pipes
The last Chacom I picked up was a new stout bent Rhodesian Natural Smooth(the 996). Fit and finish is the best I've gotten on a Chacom, balance is great and is an easy smoker, as are my other Chacoms. I've never had a bad Chacom, nor have I had a bad experience with But Choquin, nor any of the... -
Watch City Vs Peretti Blends: What Are Your Favorites?
Ive tried Watch City's Old Dominion and 558, both excellent VA crumble cakes. From Peretti, I enjoy Tashkent, Royal, Park Square, No. 52, D-9507 and Dundee. Royal is the greatest Balkan in the vein of Original Sobranie (White) available today, and Tashkent is a blend like no other. Peretti is...- lochinvar

She Would Have Been 46 Today
I'm sorry for your loss. A guy I like wrote "... it is arguable whether anyone ever truly recovers from anything.” For me a picture of a friend, a dream where your papaw is there and you remember he's dead and run and hug his neck and don't let go, just watching your child and thinking how much...- lochinvar

Liability Umbellar Insurance Policies.
Its a trial dealing with insurance. The main thing you have to do is remind them every year they don't own you and you are in no way loyal. Make sure you go over every renewal every year with your agent, fight and complain and actually leave and go with another company. When you actually have a...- lochinvar

Flake Tobacco
I always fold and stuff. It keeps the burn slow, and I get better flavor than when rubbed out (or at least it seems that way). I've cube cut a few times with Gawith FVF and Navy, but I'm generally too impatient to do it.- lochinvar

Is There Any Blend That You Wish Were a Woman So That You Could Make Love to It?
Yeah, Blue Note. That way when she asks "Ange, are you going to respect me in the morning?" I can answer "Morning? I don't respect you now Blue." PS George Washington COULD turn invisible, he had a robot friend (Walter), and they invented cocaine. He also had two sets of.....nevermind.- lochinvar

What Is A Pipe You Wanted, But Knew You Would Regret?
Maybe not disappointment, but I know whenever I buy a new pipe I'm going to walk into my lair and say "Here are your 100 brothers and sisters.....now where the hell am I going to put you?" So maybe slight shame.
