    Unique Samuel Gawith Tin? (Golden Colour)

    Yeah, thats kinda how I feel right now haha. Forgot to mention that I received multiple tins of Sam's Flake with identical date code stickers, but only one of them was golden, rest silver.

    Unique Samuel Gawith Tin? (Golden Colour)

    My recent shipment of Samuel Gawith contained a unicorn of some sort. One of the new silver tins but it was not silver, it was gold in colour. Called my tobacconist who was not much of help, though he did recall noticing the tin and knew what I was talking about. Normaly he don't remember such...

    First Tobacco You Bought?

    My first pipe experience was with a sampler pack with enough tobacco in each ziplock bag for one tiny bowl (very tiny bowl I might add, think those cheap Chinese knockoff corncobs where your pinky barly fits). I nearly gave up until I got to the last bag which contained Squadron Leader, this bag...

    What is Your Opinion on the Taste of SG's Products Post Merger?

    I'm realy surprised, but also not realy since @gawithhoggarth has confirmed that the only change they did when merging was switching over from a watering can to steaming. But I also had a hard time believing this would happen when I started this experiment after this threads initial discussion...

    What is Your Opinion on the Taste of SG's Products Post Merger?

    I made some spelling mistakes mixing up post and pre merge, unfortunately I cannot edit those out now. And I forgot to mention that the exact same thing happend with a tin of SJF and CH Flake. The SJF is much darker, deeper and fruiter in it's smell with a much darker colour. CH Flake had not...

    Pipe tobacco cut preference

    If all my favourite blends existed in rope form I would buy that instead of flakes. I love the whole ritual with cutting ropes as it gives me the opportunity of choosing thickness of the final ribbons, and if i wanted to, I could cut those coins into cubes aswell.

    What is Your Opinion on the Taste of SG's Products Post Merger?

    Bumping this thread. I have done some experimentation where I added distilled water to some of my post merge jars and the result is just outstanding. I don't have a camera but the jar of FVF went from a lightish brown to dark brown, not as dark as the pre merge jars but with some additional...

    Public Piping; Where Do you Do it?

    I filed assault charges and wanted compensation for my pipe, both got dropped. It was "only" a corncob, my worst smoking one, but still. I did however get a realy big excuse from the supervisor that was called to the scene. The whole situation was just wierd, almost bizarre. I could tell the...

    Public Piping; Where Do you Do it?

    I don't smoke in public since I prefer sitting down and want peace and quiet. But also since I have had realy bad experience with police who don't know the difference between pipe tobacco and cannabis. Last time it happend they snuck up behind me, grabbed me, and at the same time as they...

    Explain The Meditative Stage (Out of Body Experience)

    Thanks everyone for posting your thoughts about this! To clarify abit how I smoke. I never do anything, I just sit in a chair and watch the skies, trees or birds do there thing. I have experienced something similar doing TIG welding, but it never got meditative. It's more of a wind-wandering...

    Explain The Meditative Stage (Out of Body Experience)

    Placebo or not, i'm definitely not complaining. Just wish there where other ways to recreate the feeling/stage without smoking a pipe. But if I did find one, maybe I would not enjoy smoking a pipe as much. Strange thing this.

    Explain The Meditative Stage (Out of Body Experience)

    My last bowl was 2016 Nightcap, got into the meditative stage about 1/4 into it. Find it so hard to explain, it's like nothing in the world exist other then me and my pipe. There is no pain, no stress, no nothing. Just the vast emptiness of the universe, me and my pipe. Another thing I have...

    Explain The Meditative Stage (Out of Body Experience)

    Can someone explain the meditative stage smoking a pipe can put you into? I don't smoke often, a few bowls per week, sometimes less. But almost everytime I smoke, I get into this strange meditative stage that only happens when I smoke a pipe. It's a realy strange feeling, sometimes the...

    Does Anyone Chew Their Pipe Tobacco?

    I occasionally chew pipe tobacco (use it like snus) when I want some nicotine but don't want to smoke a pipe. Usaly hh old dark fired, hh bold kentucky, hh pure virginia or peterson flake. Don't recommend trying it with FVF, the sauce they use tastes very bitter, almost bitrex bitter. I find...

    What is Your Opinion on the Taste of SG's Products Post Merger?

    Oh, I missed this post. I would pay for guided video tour, even more so if done with a 360 camera for user control of where to look.

    What is Your Opinion on the Taste of SG's Products Post Merger?

    If your not interested in having a philosophical discussion about this, why bother posting? You seem cranky, have you had your daily pipe?

    What is Your Opinion on the Taste of SG's Products Post Merger?

    Will it make the tobacco age differently though? I went thru a couple of more jars, and to my nose, the more wet/dark the tobacco was, the deeper, richer, more dried fruity they smelled. And what I ment with faster aging is that most of the old/wetter stuff had alot of this out the tin somewhat...

    Visible plume on SJF, think its 2012 but not sure.

    What is Your Opinion on the Taste of SG's Products Post Merger?

    I wonder how many of the mold complaints where just plume. Post merge tins seems to lack it, none of my post merge jars have it. Where as all of the pre merge have it.
