    WTB both single tin or two tin years. I have a wide variety of tins and jars to trade - and (only a little of course) Cold Hard Cash. I've been a member here since 2015 and an NASPC member since 2010 but, after Covid in 2020, I missed the annual tins - including last August. Hope the...

    Who Cleans Gourd Calabash Pipes?

    And while I'm bothering the other members, hopefully at the same place that cleans them, who might do a replacement meerschaum bowl? And a churchwarden-style long stem for an Army mount? As you can probably guess, my pipe needs a little help!

    Has Pipestud's Site Been Hacked?

    I've been trying to see his web site. It is reachable but it's very dysfunctional - even through the Pipes Magazine link. His site's recently been improved so -- just a glitch?

    Flake Re-hydration Fail. Need Suggestions Please!

    My FVF tin from 2009 lost seal and the flakes are dry and brittle. I put it in a humidor for a week now at over 75% humidity and it's still really dry. the other problem is I don't think I can get the flakes out of the tin intact so its been "humidifying" while still in the tin. While this is...

    B&M McClelland Lucky Find

    Took a side trip to Sarasota's St. Armands Key and the wonderful little B&M there, Bennington's Tobacconist right on St. Armands Circle. Picked up a McClelland's blended Butera Golden Cake tin from 2012, apparently a straight Virginia. Not only is the trip to St. Armands worthwhile, but I also...

    Whatever Happened To The Ask G.L.Pease Column?

    If there was ever anyone to learn more from it's Mr. Pease! I havn't seen a column in years but I sure enjoyed them. I'd recommend them to the new members as there is "timeless wisdom" in his posts.

    Who Is The Best Virginia Blender With McClelland Now Gone?

    McClelland was a unique blender of Virginia tobacco; probably irreplaceable in point of fact. But they are gone now and Virginia lovers have to buy somewhere!

    Can Anyone Recommend A Great Pipe-maker For A Morta Oom Paul C omission?

    There's no easier shape for a "clencher" than a full bent, and I think Oom Pauls look great,but they ARE heavy. Morta might solve the weight problem - or so I've been thinking. So. Has anyone tried it (and how much are we looking at)? Anyone know a maker? Or is there a good manufactured...

    Shouldn't It Be Habituated, Not Addicted?

    Isn't "addicted" defined by physical symptoms when quitting and adverse effects on work, relationships and the like? Habituated as I recall is psychological effects when quitting. Quitting cigarettes doesn't give you the shakes and sweats or anything physical that I know of, but psychological...
