    Overturned meerschaum screwed-in stem

    Waterflush Cobs & Meers?

    I have always waterflushed my briars after each smoke. I have found it to be the perfect way to keep a pipe clean and fresh. My question is, can you regularly run water through cobs, meers and clay pipes as well without any adverse effects? Thanks in advance.

    Casing/toppings disappear in rehydrated tobacco

    I recently opened a tub of Prince Albert. This was a Dominican Republic made tub so it must've been only 3-4 years old tops. The tobacco was however very dry so I rehydrated it. It smokes just fine now, but the taste is extremely muted compared "fresh" PA. The dry tobacco had lost nearly all its...

    Oxygen Adsorbers for Long-Term Storage. Yes or No?

    Should oxygen absorbers be used with Mylar cellaring? I have read conflicting information. I only smoke Burley or Burley/Cav blends. Not looking to age tobacco, just preserve taste/longevity.

    Which Codger Blend to Stock up on in 2025?

    Lane Vanilla Black Cavendish match?

    I have enjoyed Lane Vanilla Black Cavendish for a while, but when I recently looked to restock it appears to be discontinued. Is there a good match for this tobacco? I tried the Lane BCA but found it to be not nearly as good as the old Lane Vanilla BC.

    Long Term Storage of Bulk Aromatics?

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) I wondered if anyone has had luck storing bulk aromatics in mylar bags long term? Did the taste change/diminish? Did you use oxygen absorbers? My sense is that aromatics don't necessarily age well over time unless kept in vacuum sealed tins and...

    Loewe pipe dating

    I came across a Loewe pipe which only had the nomenclature "L&Co". No other wording, and no silver band. For any Loewe expert out there, can one assume a pipe with "L&Co" only was made pre-Cardogan?

    List of Aromatics with Burley but Without VA, Perique or Lat

    I tend to like Burley forward blends, and aromatics. I am not really into any Latakia, Perique or Virginias; and besides my wife cant stand the smell of any of those 3. It made me curious to see how many aromatic blends that are made which includes Burley but not the other three. Using the...

    OTC burley blends - differences?

    Has anyone done a side-by-side comparison test of the main OTC pure Burley blends? (I am referring to PA, SWR, CH, Granger and LL Ready-Rubbed) Reading individual reviews on TR make them all sound pretty much the same. But I am curious of opinions on their subtle differences; such as which one...
