    Pipe Cleaners Subject to New Regulations?

    Wait. First. Which tobaccolypse are we referring to? The one that was supposed to happen 20 years ago, 12 years ago, 5 years ago, 3 years ago, or the one happening this Saturday?

    Given A Tin of 1996 Christmas Cheer...Rust Inside

    With so much tobacco currently available, I can't see a reason I would even risk it. I'd choose something else to smoke. Regret is a bitch to live with.

    Frog Morton on the Town

    As "fresh" as the day you bought it? No. It's leaf in a tin. Time will have it's impact. Even an MRE has a "shelf life". As "good" as the day you bought it? That's subjective. There are some who didn't think it was good ten years ago. There are some who prefer the blend aged. Some prefer it...

    Warning Regarding Mylar Bag Storage

    I use mylar bags for about half my cellar. But, I remove the tobacco from it's tin when bagging. It never made sense to mylar the whole tin. If I was willing to remove the tobacco from the tins in order to store blends in Ball jars, I figured I would do the same with mylar bags. No problems...

    I'm a Peterson and Savinelli Fan

    Cobs should last for thousands of smokes. Not as an exception, but as a rule. Cobs don't have to be babied. Just some proper pipe-care, like you would a briar, and you should be good. I'd guess that, in most instances, when a cob only lasts a year or less than a few hundred smokes, it's...

    Frog Morton Cellar vs Early Morning Pipe

    They're very different tasting blends to my palate. The whiskey topping in FMC is subtle but present throughout. While EMP has never had any whiskey notes to my taste.

    Tobacco Tax Equity Act of 2021

    ...and the bill gets zero support when introduced, every time. But... 1. It's easier for people to get worked up than it is to get informed. 2. Nothing sells copy or drives traffic to a site like fear mongering. So we go through this every time.

    Pipe and Tobacco Myths

    Myth: One can define what a "real" tobacco is based on the type of blend it is. Myth: One can define what a "real" pipe is based on it's brand or retail price and/or what material it is made from. Myth: One can define what a "real" pipesmoker is based on their years of pipesmoking experience...

    Saying Goodbye to My Best Friend of 13 Years

    I'm very sorry for your loss. I've been through this and I know I can't say anything to make it hurt less. Just know that one day, you will think of Moonshine and smile rather than cry. Until then, please let yourself grieve.

    Grandfather’s Meerschaum

    That's awesome. It's a sweet looking meer. What a great peice to clean-up, use, and one day pass along to your own son.

    Travel/ Everyday Carry Bag Recomendations And Options

    I've been using a Maxpedition Beefy for several years now and love it. For about $25 you get a compact rugged weather-resistant bag that carries several pipes, several roll-up tobacco pouches (or ziploc bags), a full 100ct bag of pipe cleaners, a variety of lighters and tampers (if you feel the...
