    Stonehaven: Plume Or Mold?

    I have some 9 year old Stonehaven that looks just like that. I am going to brake open one of the jars over the holidays and give it a close examination. I look at it under a magnifying glass. Here is some Esoterica with mold. No plume there, just fuzzy mold.

    Opinions On Ashton Consummate Gentleman?

    I liked it but preferred Aston's Artisan's Blend much more. It doesn't have as much Latakia as Artisan's and no Perique. I put a couple of tins in the cellar but stocked up pretty good on Artisan's. If you like Latakia give Artisan's a try.

    Your First Pipe & Tobacco

    1980 - I was in high school. I bought a pipe and I think it was Captain Black Cherry as a kit from a drug store when I was in getting some Swisher Sweets. Pure impulse buy. Smoked maybe three bowls and burned the crap out of my tongue. Didn't pick up another pipe until about 2 years ago.

    Scotty's Trout Stream - Dedicate a Pipe?

    I have never dedicated a pipe to Trout Stream. I don't necessarily have pipes dedicated to aros but I do have pipes dedicated to VaPers and to English blends. Not for a ghosting issue but for the shape of the pipe and better tasting smoke. I have two pipes dedicated for Lakeland blends for...

    LJ Peretti Tobacco

    I just placed an order based on this thread. I've never tried any of the Peretti blends. Have tried most all of the Watch City and Country Squire as well as Smoker's Haven.

    The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2019!

    It is absolutely against my nature to put up Christmas decorations, hang lights, send Christmas Cards, or mail Secret Santa packages until after Thanksgiving!

    The Best Kept Secret... That I’m Now Making Public.

    I used them a few time. Shipping was really high, packaging was poor, took quite awhile to arrive. YMMV!

    How Would You Build Your Cellar: A Timing Question?

    My cellar has a lot of different tobaccos so I am wide. I am also very deep on blends that really enjoy and blends I know may be hard to acquire in the near future. I do not cellar deep on blends I think might taste better with age. If I do not like it fresh I'm not going to chance that I will...

    Rusted Can - Still Good to Smoke?

    Opened some Sutliff tins from 2013/2014. Bottoms are rusted. Tobacco is a little dry but smells good. Any issues health or otherwise smoking these?

    If you look at everything they have for sale it looks like they buy storage lockers at auction and sell everything inside.
