    True Perique

    i found C&D granulated perique to be less than satisfactory. it was unbelieveably wet - wetter than anything ive ever gotten, from samuel gawith or any other brand. I ended up having to dry it under a lizard lamp. it also wasnt as strong as i was hoping, the nicotine was about on-par with Royal...

    Customer Appreciation 2016 Sampler

    I can never get enough basket pipes. I was also interested in the lighter because it will match my other Dupont knockoff, which is a montechristo "Romeo y Julietta", probably made by the same company as the CAO lighter I'll be happy no matter whats in the goodie box, but i wont lie, i was hoping...

    Do you remove the varnish from your MM cobs?

    yup, just for aesthetics though. I remove the varnish, (usually)dye and (always)wax, polish the black off of the ferrule, and make a vulcanite stem.

    Collectors Bane

    i take the stickers off of all my tins and glue them to my tobacco cabinet. same with cigar bands. I do still have all of the empty tins, but i havent been smoking a pipe long enough for them to become a burden

    No more Forever Stems?

    Vermont Freehand has a huge selection of stems, both vulcanite and acrylic. most are only 2.75 a piece and they're pretty easy to fit yourself. you'll need a buffer if you want a nice smooth finish, but its not necessary in most cases

    Cherrywood Pipes Anyone? The Wood, Not the Shape...

    i have 2 cherrywood pipes, one of which i made myself. i like em both quite a bit. seems to smoke just the same as briar, and a bowl coating with honey/activated carbon keeps the wood taste out of the first few bowls. only difference i cam tell is the grain isnt as pretty as briar

    P&C shipping frustration

    I make it a point to never order from P&C because they're price gougers. tobacco is almost always cheaper on smokingpipes, especially blends like stonehaven. this just further cements my opinion of them

    My Haddo's Delight smells like acetone. help?

    No humidity device in it. The jar wasn't new, but only used once to hold Semois tobacco. I didn't clean it out after the semois, as it had no smell and there was only a little bit of dust that stuck to the bottom of the jar

    My Haddo's Delight smells like acetone. help?

    Hello I got a small sample of Haddo's delight a few weeks ago. i finished it, and liked it enough to pick up a tin of it at my local B&M(for the hefty sum of $15, no less) I opened the tin and it smelled like the sample i had. kinda peppery, slight alcohol smell. it was dated early 2015 so it...

    an interesting watch

    If i remember correctly tobacco contains several β-carboline MAOIs which would definitely effect how addictive it is Personally, vaping, chewing gum, and patches do nothing for me, and ive used all 3 at different times in my life when smoking wasn't possible. nicotine by itself just doesnt do...
