Bad Tobacco ?
I have hundreds of open tins and plenty of baggies. What you need is a handful of forum members to send you a "welcome to pipes" sampler selection.- greeneyes

The Dreaded DHL Package Hostage Case
I paid the ransom via PayPal. Then as soon as the package was delivered, I disputed the payment and explained the situation, and told PayPal that I opted to pay the FDA myself. I won. Of course, there was no evidence the FDA even looked at my package. It hadn't been opened, no stamps or...- greeneyes

Bad Tobacco ?
I think you ought to try everything you can get your hands on (samples, preferably) and develop your own opinions. If you want to understand what makes champagne better than babycham, you've got to be familiar with both of them.- greeneyes

Estervals and UPS
Good luck. UPS held my package hostage for $167 "fees" for the "service" of forwarding the FDA a mere $0.27 on my behalf. Won't ever be using them again. https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/threads/the-dreaded-dhl-package-hostage-case.102958/post-37004648- greeneyes

Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes
I also, and provided links to evidence that it wasn't a Dunhill. I've done this quite often and more often than not, the seller doesn't change a thing. I appreciate the seller added a note in this case, albeit in "small print" toward the bottom.- greeneyes

When to Not Restore? "Selected by Sasieni" Double One Dot
I think the point I wanted to make is that if you restored it incorrectly, or even in a way that a potential buyer is unhappy with, it may lose value--not gain it. If you're selling it, I'd leave it alone. I know I would bid on it on eBay as-is, knowing I could have it restored to my...- greeneyes

When to Not Restore? "Selected by Sasieni" Double One Dot
I think this depends on whether you're selling it or keeping it. If you're keeping it I'd say do whatever you're comfortable with (I'd send it to a master like George Dibos, personally, given the historical value). If you're selling it, I'd say sell it as is, and let the eventual buyer decide...- greeneyes

Ben Wade Prominence Pipe
Some of the Preben Holm pipes didn't have the "Ben Wade" stamp (see below). Preben Holm wasn't employed by Ben Wade--Ben Wade was a brand (by this date, anyway) owned by Hermann Lane and licensed to Preben Holm (the pipe maker) for him to sell his pipes in the United States. Also the stem... -

Chai and/or Cardamom Aromatic Recommendations?
Rather than adding the spices themselves, I'd make an alcoholic tincture of them, strain it, and add the tincture. Let it sit a while so the alcohol evaporates. I don't know offhand if you'd necessarily want to burn and inhale any of these herbs and spices themselves.- greeneyes

If anyone makes what you're after it's HU Tobacco. Moroccan Bazaar might be right up your alley, as may a few others. I'd have a look at Tobaccoreviews dot com.- greeneyes

How to differentiate Astley pipes made by Charatan, by Dunhill or by Ashton?
Generally it's best in the absence of other criteria to rely on shape and shape number to attempt to ascribe a maker. In terms of Astleys, I tend to seek out the earlier double-flanged "A" stamp that predated Upshall (and Ezrati's) ownership. Ken Barnes told a group of us once on a Zoom call...- greeneyes
