Winslow appreciation thread
I just really like what he offers and at the price. The highest grade I own is a C (middle of the road) but they are all beautiful to me, even the Crowns, which are his lower cost series. I didn’t buy the Crowns because they are low cost, I just like them. On his fancier ones you get some... -
Contact Information for Mimmo Provenzano?
Title condensed, etc. See Rule 9. Original: "Does anyone have contact info for and experience with working directly with MIMMO PROVENZANO?" This happened the other day. Sadly it was a newish pipe, only had a few smokes out of it. I ordered it from the Al-pascia site. I palm-clapped out some...- Egg Shen

Can anyone provide background on this calabash?
I recently picked up this pipe on e bay and was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about the maker, or even its’ country-of-origin? All I know from the seller is that it’s supposedly from 1909. The silver is stamped EAM inside of a diamond and then there is 3 smaller marks in... -
We now have a Valentine’s Day blend by Sutliff & MM
I saw on smoking pipes that there is a VA/cavendish blend called Taste of Temptation. It has cherry and amaretto flavoring. Pretty cool tin art. I’m not sure this is for me but was curious if it appeals to anyone else.- Egg Shen

Is it acceptable to throw bagged tobaccos into a Tupperdor?
I have a cooler and some Broveda packs and in it is about 30 blends in various bag types - from the Country Squire bags which are as thin as a ziploc to slightly thicker Watch City and Wilke bags to the Ken Byron Mylar bags (which are a fairly thin Mylar). Is this acceptable as long term...- Egg Shen

I Opened a Dozen Tins Today!
I decided to open some things that have been on my shelf - only things that I have never tried and have 2 or more of. Nothing rare but for the most part I feel like these are not “genre overlap” for the myriad jars in my collection. I thought I’d share my thoughts on a few going off of aroma...- Egg Shen

Decanters, flasks, cocktail shakers & the like
I see a lot of folks here drinking well. So do any of you have any unique or old secondary storage vessels or mixers? I will start with a flea market find. I paid 8 bucks for this thing and use it as decor. It still smells like an AMAZING bourbon. I like Jim Beam but this smells better...- Egg Shen

Vacuum Seal on 100g Solani Tins
I recently bought three 100g Solani tins. Two of the three when pressed upon with my finger will dimple, but then immediately pop back out. The third one does not give at all. Are the first two therefore under-pressurized? I do not wish to transfer them to jars or open them anytime soon, but...- Egg Shen

Organic Tobacco
Organic Tobacco for pipes. Does it exist? If not, would anyone want it? I’m thinking aromatics might not be an option due to the flavorings, but all of the pure styles could come in organic. I was watching How it’s Made on tobacco and I was surprised at how much fungicide and insecticide...- Egg Shen
