    Jack Howell Daney Apple Finish?

    So I’m gonna turn 40 in may and I’m on the hunt for a new pipe for the occasion. Since I saw so many good reviews of Howell pipes I was thinking of getting the daney apple but I,m wondering about the finish. Any of you got this particular cut with a different finish than the one on his website...

    Good Pipe Tobacco Shops in Miami?

    So we’re heading to Miami this summer with the kids. We’ll be staying in Brickell at some point. Any good pipe tobacco shops to recommend? I’ll also want to get some good cigars if someone have recommendations for shops too. It’s seems easy to find cigars shops with google but have some...

    Jarring 2 oz Of Flake

    So I’m planning on jarring 2oz of capstan flakes for long term aging (10-20 years). Since I only want to jar 2 oz of flakes at a time should I cram it in 4oz jelly jars thus destroying some flakes or jar it in 8 oz jar with a bit too much air space? I’m wondering if the flakes will dry up in...

    Aged Solani Silver Flake Not The Same

    So silver flake was one of the first blends that I liked a lot when I first started smoking a pipe. I really enjoyed the fact that it had a nice sweetness balanced by the spicy, nutty Kentucky. I then cellared about 3 pounds in 2015-2016. Since then, each jar I opened haven’t tasted the same. I...

    Addicted to Revor plug

    Been craving it for the last couple of weeks. That stuff is addictive, I feel the more I smoke it, the more I crave it. Never really happened with other tobacco, as I usually like to switch blends at each smoke. Revor is also a perfect after dinner smoke. Sad it’s pricey and hard to come by tho...

    Aging Capstan

    So Capstan blue is one of my favourite baccy. Already got almost 2 pounds of it and I’m planning on getting more. Planning on smoking a tin Per year for a long time. What I’m unsure is if I should jar some of the tobacco. I’m thinking of keeping like 20 tins and jarring the rest. I’ve also read...

    HOTW- Bad Tin? Sucks? Personal Taste?

    I think I clarified the title; hope you don't mind. So title says it all. I recently opened a jar of HOTW that got nearly 8 years of age. I tried the stuff in like 3-4 different pipes and each time it tasted like an ashy, dirty, boring mostly DFK blend. No sweetness at all. Not much nicotine...

    What Va Blends Should I Try/Cellar Next?

    So since last summer I have been on a Va trip! My three favorite blends being Capstan Blue, deluxe navy rolls and recently Orlik Golden sliced. I will finish to cellar those soon and also will be getting more FvF, BBF, Stoney and Reiner long golden flake. I got plenty of silver flake, Klondike...

    Wessex Campaign Dark Availability

    Damn Harris and his good baccy list. After a little rest once the tin was open I now really like the stuff but from what I read it seems hard to find. Since I’m in Canada the only place I order from are noggins and cup o joes. Does it pop up from time to time ? I found a store online selling it...

    Can’t Enjoy My Pipe Without Alcohol

    Title says it all, it seems I can’t enjoy my pipe as much without a beer or a glass of wine or whatever alcoholic drink . I don’t get as much sweetness, flavours seems muted, taste seems stronger and heavier. Only time it’s seems ok is after diner the weekend when I walk the dog but prior to...

    Long Term Aging In Tins And Colour

    So I just opened up a 9 years old tin of Veermaster and got 2 questions. First, how long do you think we can age baccy in tins? This one was only 9 years and even if it was still sealed it was already pretty dry. Just right for smoking straight up but my concern is if I wait 20 years it will be...

    Pipe Tobacco And Alcohol

    I’m wondering if I’m the only one who finds that pipe tobacco generally taste better with alcohol. My Va usually taste sweeter with a glass of white wine or a beer. Plus the nicotine hit is more manageable. I know that theoretically alcohol affects our tastebuds but I still feel that most...

    Getting Consistently Good Experiences With FVF

    Title says it all. I read many threads on the subject without any good answer. FvF is sometimes wonderful but many times awful. I’ve been cube cutting it, let it dry for 24-30 hours and sometimes it’s good sometimes it does not stay lit. and taste like crap. Any tips on how to get it to behave...

    Xikar Scribe Vs Kiribi Kabuto, The Great Canadian Dilemma

    So I’ve been hunting for a butane soft flame pipe lighter and came out with 2 contenders. As I’ve seen huge differences in taste between gas and butane with my cigars, I think I should try it with pipes too. Scribe would cost me around 77$ cad and kiribi Kabuto 125$. Xikar got lifetime...

    Danish Style Bent Egg

    So I really like the danish style egg shape and the like and been trying to find one to buy. I recently got a Nording that I like really much but can’t seem to find affordable ones. I’m looking for something not too big and light, no rustication in the 200-250$ max range. Any carver to recommend...

    Cotton Ball Cleaning Method Which Alcohol?

    I want to try the cotton ball method to clean a pipe I used to really like but taste like shit now since I smoked a lot of GLP triple play in it. I still don't understand what caused that persistant ghost, perique or DFK? Anyways, I usually use 94% alcohol to clean my pipes but can't find any...
