    I disagree. I mean, I agree..

    A Counterfeit DuPont’s Progress

    Many are willing to pay for authentic merchandise rather than knock-offs, but only if the difference in quality is significant. The manufacturing process in China has evolved, and the gap has narrowed considerably. Looking at the photos, I wonder if ST Dupont is sourcing their manufacturing to...

    I Paid Too Much for a Pipe... On Purpose!

    That is much too honest!

    Tinbids Observations

    Firebird Flake sold out in a matter of hours. Next week, the first tin showed up on TinBids for $40. Soon thereafter it was all over TinBids for the same $40 a tin. Were it not for the 'professional' resellers, we would be able to buy the limited releases directly from the retailer, just like...

    Are we Really Losing That Much With the Closures of Mac Baren and Sutliff?

    The FDA is being shaken up as we speak, with big budget and staffing cuts to come.

    Mellowest Unflavored Burley Blends?

    Uhle, Blend 00. Or if you want a bit of sweetness, Blend 300.

    Pipe Tobacco is no Good Anymore/Better Than Before

    There are many who feel McClelland is (was) overrated.
  9. P

    McClelland may be closing.

    Maybe can we have something other than fifteen ___ threads that get the same replies? Making a lot of nothing from very little is what forums are all about. After all, what do we all really have in common? We enjoy blowing smoke.

    Update on the STG Closure Of Sutliff and Mac Baren

    Would be great to see a list of 'true' (whatever that means) manufacturers still extant.

    Stoved Virginia Blends?

    C&D Steamworks. It's not a dead ringer for Blackwoods Flake but it's good and it's steamed.

    Seriously? Rustication Gone Awry?

    Now I'm trying to think of a rustication that really looked fantastic, and I'm coming up short.

    Seriously? Rustication Gone Awry?

    It's fine. I'm quite impressed with Person's price-to-value ratio across the board.

    Jim's Revised Solani 633 and ABF Reviews.

    I recently compared fresh and ten year old tins of 656. Its like two different blends, one heavenly and one just awful.

    Hearing Problems?

    Sudden partial loss of hearing in my left ear around ten years ago, and an additional sudden loss on that side around 5 years ago. The other ear is fine. I've had plenty of noise exposure, but its unclear how that figures in. I wear one hearing aid, but results have been mixed.

    What Does Latakia Taste Like

    Dark beer- yes, Guinness Stout or something like that. Horse for sure.

    What Does Latakia Taste Like

    Smell and taste are intimately related, especially with something rich like latakia. I don't think taste and smell can be separated in that case. I remember my very first latakia was Comoys #11, a very latakia-forward blend. My first impression was a combination of smoke, old damp/musty...

    Do You Dry Your Tobacco Before Smoking? Why or Why Not?

    Unless its 'wet' I no longer bother. I use the breath method of smoking, which immediately rehumidifies the dried tobacco.

    Ash Dumping Question
