    My First Experience with Lakeland / Tonquin

    Prior to this purchase, I had absolutely NO experience with Lakeland Floral or Tonquin flavoring. NONE. Never tasted or even smelled it. I’ve read countless reviews describing a wide variety of what these things taste/smell like and I wanted to try it for myself. As 1792 is virtually...

    Cleaning the Rim of the Bowl

    Hi, All. I am in need of some advice. I have a few pipes that I've acquired that have some char on the rim.
