    GH Ultimum compared to GH American Black Cherry and GH Kendal Black Cherry

    I do have the GH American Black Cherry and GH Kendal Black Cherry which are two nice quite different cherry aromatics. I am wondering how the GH Ultimum compares to them, is it similar to one of the two or a third different cherry aromatic?. Trying to figure out if it is different enough to...

    Problem Continuous Relights with GH Rum Twist

    I am experienced enough to know that dark fired blends such as 1792, Dark Plug and GH Black Twist need more relights than average and I am fine with that but with GH Rum Twist I am really frustrated particularly as I like it so much. No matter what I do after 3 or 4 puffs it goes dead. Tried...

    Question on Peretti Paint Cans

    I just opened a Peretti Paint Can I purchased 1 year ago (Cuban Mixture) and the tobacco is still at perfect moist. I generally jar/mylar once I open a tin but wondering if for the Peretti paint cans I can just keep in the cans as it looks they seal is thight.

    G&H Dark Plug vs SG Cob Plug

    How does the G&H Dark Plug compare in taste and strength to SG Cob plug? Reason is because I do have and enjoy the Cob Plug and wondering if the Dark Plug is different enough to justify its addition to my collection. Also I am fine with nic content of Cob plug but probably I would not go...

    Mason Jar Lid Rusting

    I went today to get after a couple of months an SG ST James plug from an 4 oz major jar and I noticed it was definitely drier from the last time. I looked at the Jar and there was a small rusted spot on the bottom of the lid and after cleaning it I saw a small hole. This was unexpected also...

    This Lady Made My Day

    I was walking yesterday at sunset smoking on a park (where in theory smoking is not allowed) and a lady walking her dog fast passed me from behind. I thought she passed me because she did not like the smell of the pipe so I stopped to let her pass but she turned to me and she said with a big...

    Old German Clay Pipe Question

    I have a double walled Lepeltier clay pipe which I love, one of the favorites along with the meers. I am curious now about the Old German Clay Pipes particularly the ones offered with an ebonite stem. I do understand that being single walled the bowl becomes very hot. My question is how they...

    Current Production Blend Equivalent to GH Top Black Cherry

    I have nearly finished the GH Tope Black Cherry and I noticed it is no more available in the US. I noticed that currently GH in the USA imports the Kendall Black Cherry and the American Black Cherry. Anyone knows if one of the two is the equivalent of the old top black cherry?

    Replacement Blend for GH Cherry Cream Flake

    I love the GH Cherry Cream Flake and I realized it is now out of production. What is the closest blend in production? I have the GH Top Black Cherry which I love also but it is completely different. I was thinking maybe the GH American Cherry Vanilla could be similar but not sure. Anybody...

    Dog With Good Taste For Cigar

    Last night when I went for a walk instead that my pipe I smoked a cigar. Toward the end of the cigar I sat on the sidewalk for few minutes. A small dog walking with her owner came close to me than suddenly she went up on her legs and slowly and quietly smelling approached the cigar which I put...

    Comparison Of New Vs Old Ennerdale Batch

    As I finished my old 2016 Ennerdale tin I opened yesterday the 500g Ennerdale box (production of February 2021) I purchased last September and kept in mylar since then. After reading the recent reviews claiming the new production was different with much less sauce I was worried that could be a...

    Crazy Hygrometer or Boveda pack?

    I purchased a analog hygrometer. I was initially pleasantly surprised as with the salt test it read 24h later exactly 75% as expected. Then I tested it with a 65% rated Boveda pack and 24h later it read ... 80% which of course does not make any sense. So why it happened and who is the crazy...

    When Next GH Shipment to the USA?

    The last shipment from GH factory to the USA was just at the beginning of the year so I think we should be closed to the next shipment. Anyone has any news?

    Revor Plug Discountinued

    The title said it all and as the source is from the the Synjeco website I think it is trustable. It was for me the best of the Virginia/Kentucky genre, in some way a cousin of the SG Cob plug/1792 flake but more balanced and sweeter. Luckily I cellared some last year so I am covered. Every...

    GH Scotch Flake

    I am discovering GH Scotch flake one of the best flakes of GH. The reason I like is, in addition to the great Virginias, the wonderful chocolate casing (I love chocolate) which really tastes as natural chocolate. In this regard I consider Scotch flake much more chocolatish than Bob's...

    Loose Silver Ring of Spigot Stem Meer

    I got this beautiful Meer with a wind cap which is useful if there is a breeze. I noticed the spigot stem was a little bit loose and actually when I first cleaned it up it came away the stem along with the silver ring as you can see from the pic. I contacted the seller and he told me just to...

    SG XX Twist Vs GH Black Irish Twist

    I tried the Samuel Gawith XX Twist which I found intriguing and unique with nothing else not even close to compare. I saw an interesting video of many years ago which shows how it is made starting from the brown rope (the ropes are actually the same) which is coated with olive oil, wrapped in...

    I am thinking making an order at Peretti site but I saw posts in the past the site is not secure for cc and there were issues of stolen cc info. Has the problem been resolved now, any recent issues anyone experienced?

    GH Scotch Flake Vs Rum Flake

    I tried GH Scotch flake and I love it. I would say that, despite its name, the main flavor note is of chocolate, probably even stronger than Bob's Chocolate Flake which is another I love. I am wondering how much similar or different the Scotch flake is from the Rum Flake and if they are...
