    Pipe break in.

    I have bought a Doran nose warmer poker. The first few bowls in this pipe were great! The last few bowls I am finding I have a hard time enjoying the tobacco. Its like it all tastes the same. I can only compare to ash! Now if you smell the bowl, I love to get a good sniff of the baccy while...

    Just last night had my very first experience with ghosting. I loaded a Calabresi with Orlik. All I got pick out was AUTUMN EVENING! The Virginias at this point in time are my FAVORITE! I can not believe how much I am honestly liking the Virginia tobacco. This got me to thinking I wonder how...

    Orlik Golden Sliced!

    I received the 5 tins of this the other day. That night using the fold and stuff method, I loaded about 3/4 of a flake into my Dr.Grabow Omega. This was not a bad smoke per-say but it was not a one that just jumped out at me either. When I decided I had had enough, I dumped it out realizing just...

    Mac Baren Vanilla Cream.

    Storing Tins?

    I just made a purchase of several tins of Orlik Golden Slice. I am wondering if leaving it in the tin is ok for long term storage or should I place these in mason jars as I am the bulk tobacco I am purchasing? Thanks!

    Mason Jars and Tobacco!

    I just ordered 8oz of Firedance flake in the bulk. I am going tomorrow to get a case of mason jars for the bulk tobacco I plan on purchasing. My question is this...is there anything I need to do to the jars before placing the baccy in there for storage? Boil them or a good rinse with soap and...
