    Jim's C&D Toscano Maestro Puccini Review.

    Me too. Like an American version of a strong Gawith Hoggarth flake. I'm intrigued.

    Beginner: Corncob Pipe smell plastic-ish

    If your cob pipe is anything other than Missouri Meerschaum, I would suggest tossing it in the trash. There's a lot of cheap crap out there. MM cobs are top quality and relatively inexpensive. I have some that are over ten years old and still going strong. As for the wood that extends from the...

    Some Cringle Flake in a Boswell. Happy Holidays to all of you fine folks.

    Welcome from Middle Tennessee.

    Jim's Sutliff Cringle Flake (Holiday Edition 2024) Review.

    Thanks for the heads up. I didn't think it was supposed to drop until 6 pm EST. Luckily I was able to snag a few tins.

    Thoughts On STG

    Thanks.

    2001 Christmas Cheer

    I believe you're right, but my only experience is with a tin of 2000 Christmas Cheer that I opened three years ago. In my efforts to prolong my limited supply of CC, I put the tobacco in a jar immediately after opening and have smoked a few bowls each holiday season. Thus far, I have not noticed...

    Thoughts On STG

    Would you mind expounding on your "limited success"? I live on a small farm and have given thought to someday growing small amounts of tobacco for personal use.

    Update on the STG Closure Of Sutliff and Mac Baren

    A very sound and reasoned post. Over the last decade or so, I've built a cellar that I believe will last me the rest of my life. I realized that on any given day, tobacco was never going to be cheaper or more available than it was at that moment. Some people went so far as to call me paranoid...

    2001 Christmas Cheer

    This has generally been my experience as well.

    Hello from TN

    Welcome. I'm a Tennessean as well. In what part of the state do you reside?

    Casey Jones Beyond Brave Deal

    Thanks! I decided to play along. Ordered a pack of pipe cleaners and got almost a half-pound of tobacco for less than $9. I'm not normally an aromatic guy but I used to enjoy the occasional bowl of 1-Q. I'll give it a try.

    Cannonball Run

    Great story. You look so happy in those photos! Enjoy your new pipe, it's a beauty.

    Old Joe Krantz first impressions

    Big fan here. I buy it by the pound and always keep it around. A good strong smoke with a few rough edges. Kind of like myself.

    Quality - Workmanship and Disregard

    I once purchased a Peterson Killarney that had stain in the bowl. It tasted horrible. Not knowing any better I simply smoked it about a hundred times and it finally came around.

    Turns Out I Was Packing Too Loose

    I'm glad you're figuring out what works for you, and yes, you can pack too loosely. I prefer to start a little too loose as I can always tighten my draw by tamping as I go along. I used to put a lot of thought into specific packing methods but now I just primarily grab some tobacco, rub it out...

    To Clay or not to Clay....

    From what I understand, that's exactly what you do. Just lay the pipe on some hot coals and let all the tar burn off. Once cool, pack it back up and start smoking again.

    Favorite Morning Blend

    Depends. Bayou Morning, Haunted Bookshop and University Flake are three that I'm currently enjoying.

    To Clay or not to Clay....

    I want to like smoking clay pipes but just don't. I agree that the flavor is neutral but the fragility and the heat they generate, not to mention the feeling of a clay bit against my teeth just doesn't work for me. I'll be the first to admit that their cool and I love the historical aspect.
