    Latakia-Light Blends

    Which Latakia blends have small or the least amount of it in the mixture? I’ve veered away from Latakia blends for quite a while but I tried a bowl of EMP a few days ago. EMP had been a favorite of mine, but unfortunately I did not enjoy the experience. But maybe a blend with just a sprinkle of...

    I Found an Old Flask

    I found an old flask, and it’s full of scotch. I suppose it’s a decent enough stainless steel flask. The whiskey smells okay, but do you suppose it really is?

    Favorite Lakeland Blends?

    I think I’m ready to take the plunge. So far I’ve enjoyed Bob’s Chocolate Flake. I don’t know if St Bruno’s Flake fits in this category but I like it okay, too. So, I’ve added a few blends to my shopping cart, including Erinmore Mixture, Kendal Flake, and Gasmere Flake, but what else should I...

    What Do You Know About Virgins?

    Until today I hadn’t known there was such a thing as a pipe with a virgin finish. So, what’s that mean? If I like a pipe with a virgin finish, what do I need to know or look out for? Would it require special care and maintenance?

    Sideways Bent Pipe

    https://www.alpascia.com/pipes/d/Dunhill-C208-i39774.html I was looking at army mount pipes on this website and found 2 Dunhill pipes with the bit bent sideways. Huh? I guess such a pipe had to be made and I'm not meaning to be critical, but who would it appeal to? Why does it appeal to...

    Rubbing out coins

    My favorite part of rubbing out coins is not rubbing out the centers of them. These centers are about the diameter of the bore of a lot of my pipes, and I like to stack them somewhere in the pipe when loading it up. Just checking to see if I'm the only one who does this. (I post this at the risk...

    I starting writing my cost on each tin/jar/bag of tobacco. This to help my wife sell my cellar when I’m gone.

    I Just Bought 2 Pipes

    But first I bought what I could of what was left of the McClelland VA’s. And then I bought some more Va’s and VaPer’s, I guess out of sadness that all the Mcclelland blends were gone All I did was add stuff to the cellar that I can’t touch until 2020. As a reward for finally hitting the...

    Missouri Meerschaum General

    My new pipe arrived in the mail today. For future reference, I should smoke a milder blend in it next time.

    Bad news ?

    I found this on Missouri Meerschaum's website... The Marcus from Missouri Meerschaum is a design that we originally made for promotional purposes for a tobacco company for marketing its pipe tobacco. However, due to the new FDA regulations, the company decided to curtail its pipe tobacco...

    London Tobacco Wishlist ?

    A friend is in London now. He didn't tell me he was going; I had to find out from his wife's fakebook post. So putting aside my righteous anger at him, which tobacco should I ask him to get me while he's there. I already asked him to buy me a pouch of Condor (I don't know if it's any good, I...

    Loose Cut Tobacco

    I have a briar pipe, an expensive one, that I have not enjoyed smoking. I haven't been able to finish a bowl before the tobacco is a wet mess at the bottom of the bowl. I admit that my technique is poor I suppose because I have an impatient appetite. I prefer the open draw of my MM corncob...

    new Missouri Meerschaum pipes

    It's really no big deal when a guy buys a couple of corn cob pipes. But I'm pretty pleased with the pipes that the MM company sent to me. I called MM direct to order a Country Gentleman, a Freehand, and a Diplomat 5th Avenue. Why I like these pipes is that they are unfinished, not smoothed...

    Cool Smoke

    What is this cool smoke that I read about? Cool smoke is used to describe tobacco and sometimes to describe a pipe. Personally, I've never experienced a cool smoke, no matter how slow I puff or what I puff. Have you?

    Crispy Tobacco?

    I read smokeybear's review of jack knife plug and I noticed that he dried it out til it was crispy. I've been doing this, too, but this was always another thing about piping that I wondered if I was doing it right. I often dry out the tobacco for each pipe under a ceiling fan for a half hour...

    How do you jar slice tobacco?

    I like to use 4 and 8 oz jars. To fit 2 and 4 oz of loose tobacco into them, I have to press it in pretty hard to make it fit. Do I squeeze slice tobacco into the jars the same way, breaking up the slices as needed? Or do I just use the 8oz jars and let the slices rattle around in them?

    New Pipe solves 3 needs

    I wanted a small pipe for my lunch break. I didn't yet have a saddle stem pipe, so good. And it's my first meerschaum. It only cost $20 including shipping, so I guess that's actually 4 things good about the pipe. I just ordered a mini pipe from AND Meerschaum. So I'm looking forward to testing...
