Moving to the EU
Yes. They will check. Not even a possibility that they would fail to notice pounds of contraband, which is what it becomes as a result of trying to evade paying the taxes / duties. You’d be lucky not to have it confiscated and destroyed on top of paying stiff fines and possibly criminal...- verporchting

Coupon Culture
I use them if available but it makes no difference to my purchasing decisions. If it’s available at a price I’m willing to pay and I want / need it then I buy. The discount is merely a nice bonus. The exception to this was several years ago when P&C was advertising Stanwell pipes for $19.99...- verporchting

Damage to Exterior - Repair and Advice
I had an inexpensive briar that did that years ago and I just used a small amount of acetone on a paper towel and gently rubbed off the lacquer and then just re-oiled the surface and it looked better immediately. It did lighten the finish somewhat and a LOT of fills became noticeable but over...- verporchting

Falcon Pipe Bowl Rack
Ages ago there was a similar thread about this and I was looking for a good solution; the bobbin rack was discussed and it seemed like a great solution because it was angled to save space. I was going to make my own but got lazy when I found a stout little box that worked perfectly for the...- verporchting

Capstan & St Bruno Status?
Apologies if this has been discussed before but what is the current status of these blends? Safe, endangered, or toast? I get that “safe” is a relative term and any blend can be discontinued at any time, but given the recent Sutliff/MacBaren carnage and other issues touching on STG (for...- verporchting

Corporate Pipe ?
It’s a pipe that screws you on overtime, over promises and under delivers, wrecks your social life and makes you bitter all while telling you that you’re its most valuable asset?- verporchting

East Africa Block Meerschaum
I owned a Kiko for awhile and it was a nice smoking pipe but the stem turned brown instantly after smoking and I just got tired of polishing it - the lovely elephant logo disappeared instantly, lol. I wouldn’t waste a moment waxing the pipe, it looks fine and will not color like a Turkish meer...- verporchting

Lane HGL by Other Names?
The number of possible names this is rebranded as is limited only by the number of retail vendors selling it, and their imaginations - like every other Lane or Sutliff blend over the years.- verporchting

Opening A Tin? Show Us!
No idea how old this is but I found it in a B&M on the back of a shelf for $5 per box and bought it. Tastes like PA with a very mild cherry topping that’s still lingering on. Think they quit making this circa 2015 so it’s at least that old.- verporchting

Ah, That McClellands Smell
It’s been wonderful smoking this tin, sadly it’s almost gone. Definitely enjoyed this one! In a couple days I’ll open and smoke a tin of 2014 Christmas Cheer to follow the last few pipes of this one. A nice way to end the year.- verporchting

Ah, That McClellands Smell
Opened an old (circa 2008?) tin of Royal Cajun Ebony and got that never forgotten ketchup smell that we all loved so much. I miss McClellands but I’m sure happy to still have the chance to enjoy some from time to time. In a few days I’ll be opening a vintage Christmas Cheer tin from my cellar...- verporchting

FYI --- When Sara Connor and Kyle Reese Escaped the Terminator...
In high school a very large but peaceful, calm friend drove a Gremlin. He hated it but it was a free ride from his father. One day the door handle broke on the driver side. Apparently not the first time but even in the 80s parts were difficult to get. So he had to clamber in from the...- verporchting
