    Correlation Between Tax Hike and Price

    I am curious if anyone can explain why the proposed tax hike as prt of the reconciliation budget is 2100 percent, but i am seeing a number around 50 percent as far as price increase goes. Those numbers dont seem to line up.

    Flakes Like Gawith

    So all I have been smoking recently is Gawith tobacco, and I am coming to realize that the main thing I like about it is the underlying leaf, not the flavoring. Don't get me wrong, I have loved basically all of the Lakeland sauces I have tried, but getting the Gawith tobacco can be a challenge...

    Bob's Chocolate Flake is Glorious

    Smoking my third bowl of Bob's Chocolate flake and wow it is amazing. I haven't tried a latakia blend that I enjoyed in six months, but the way the topping works with the tabac on this one is great. The latakia is just a lovely condiment for the overall flavor, as is the topping. this is...

    Stanwell De Luxe Sandblasted Bulldog

    Prices Through the Years

    I always see people urging others to cellar as much tobacco as they can because "tobacco will never be cheaper" or because of the incoming "tobaccopocalypse". I could see being worried about the banning of flavored tobac and whatnot, but I am very curious about the tobacco will never be...

    Does Anybody Dry the Whole Tin at Once?

    just like the title says? I was thinking, is there any reason to not let the whole tin of a moist flake dry out at once for easy access when you want to smoke? Seems like it would be better, but I haven't seen people talking about it, so maybe there is a reason

    Mad Fiddler Flake Appreciation Post

    I am loving this broken flake with its cool gimmicky name. It is unlike anything I have ever tasted before as well. The sweet, and sour creaminess thing with the Katsuri leaf is awesome and its got an awesome breadiness that I kept hearing described in blends but hadn't tasted yet. Not too...

    Breath Smoking Seems to Go Quite Fast

    Like the title says. It seems that when I clench the pipe in my teeth and breath naturally thru my nose, I am getting large amounts of smoke in my mouth everytime I breath thru my nose, causing my mouth to always be full of smoke, and seemingly making my bowls go faster. I'm not complaining...

    I bought a pouch of half and half a few weeks ago and have been working thru it in some cobs, always noticing a sweet corn flavor in the bottom quarter of the bowls. I was smoking on fresh cobs so i just figured it was the taste of the pipes breaking in, but after smoking it a briar for the...
