    Mold?

    Yes. Couldn't miss the white fluff all over the cigars :LOL: I get your point, but I'm just saying that without the visible aspect of it I wouldn't have known it was mold. I was unsure about this tin because the amount of "white stuff" is higher that I've usually seen in SG tins. This is the...

    Mold?

    Interesting. So would this only occur in flakes or in ribbon cut too?

    Mold?

    OK, thanks everyone. So the verdict is this isn't mold. But see I'm confused on this because I don't think all mold smells. I had once a humidor and cigars which developed mold. It was actually mold as it was on the foot of the cigars and even growing on the humidor walls. Clearly web like in...

    Mold?

    Not looking to start an argument on cigar plume, but Friends of Habanos got this tested in a lab and it turned out to be mold: FOH Mould Study - https://www.friendsofhabanos.com/forum/topic/131757-foh-mould-study/ I don't know if pipe tobacco plume has been tested in a lab to figure out what...

    Mold?

    I took some photos of SG FVF I just opened. Tin was bought in 2016. I know "plume/bloom" on cigars is just mold. But not sure about this one. Thoughts?

    Coffee & Tea For Me

    I drink mostly white tea but I like other varieties too (not a big fan of green tea though). Recently I've been drinking lots of Silver Needle tea. I love this stuff. When I drink this it's never less than two cups, same with yellow tea. I only drink loose leaf tea. Bagged teas are usually...

    PSA: Water Flushing Risks

    The scientific research is regrettably lacking, but I've talked to some people and also read online about toilet practices. I admit I have not smelled other people's underwear. But my reasoning and life experience is this: If someone just wipes their feces with dry paper there sure will be smell...

    PSA: Water Flushing Risks

    Preach it. Anal and genital hygiene shouldn't be taboo. Many people are needlessly walking around in smelly dirty underwear all day long. Asses need to be washed and penises dried. Toilet paper + bidet shower and neutral soap = clean ass. -elnoblecigarro, anal hygiene enthusiast

    Northern Lights Pictures

    Nice pictures! I like how the stars are poking through.

    Amount of Smoke

    Visible smoke all the time. Occasional big clouds. Properly packed and smoked with rhythm the pipe doesn't get hot.

    Love at First Smoke?

    SG St. James Flake. Just finished the tin, good from first to last bowl. Absolutely amazing taste.

    A Question of Proper Cake Thickness

    Yea I did it the same way. Spun it both ways. With good results I think. I can't see why this would be risky for a beginner to do.

    A Question of Proper Cake Thickness

    That's not the actual one I have. I just copied an image from Google that is similar to mine to show an example. I have no idea of the maker of mine.

    A Question of Proper Cake Thickness

    I used this kind of tool to remove excess cake. I don't see how this could possibly damage the pipe. On narrow pipes where it didn't fit in I just used Czech tool to scrape it of.

    Do You Dislike a Certain Stem Material?

    Only vulcanite for me. I dislike everything else.

    Effect of Aging on Nicotine Level

    Question to those who have smoked old tobacco. I know that aging affects taste but how about nicotine level? Does the amount of nicotine slowly reduce? I have smoked about five years old tobaccos that I've kept jarred and smoked on occasion during the years and I didn't notice a difference in...

    How Do You Save a Blend

    If it's neutral blend it can be used to tame aromatic where the flavoring is too strong or bring strength to a mild blend. I did this with Mac Baren Harmony and G&H Rum Maple. And I also mixed Mac Baren Vanilla Cream with Greve Hamilton Blandning (whoch is a great natural tasting blend with...

    How Large is Your Pipe Collection in Proportion to How Much You Smoke?

    May I ask what is the blend of choice?

    How Large is Your Pipe Collection in Proportion to How Much You Smoke?

    5 pipes in rotation. Rotation is not fixed in any way, it's just I like to smoke different things so it naturally rotates. Sometimes same pipe may be smoked on consecutive days and it's a non issue. I smoke depending on circumstances 0-6 times per week. None in winter and on most days during...

    What to Use...

    Thanks for confirmation. That's what I thought. Would be weird if water was bad for the stem as our mouths are wet too. I don't think oxidation is a big deal. During deep cleaning I just rub it with wet baking soda and it comes off, then add some mineral oil on it.
