    Kaywoodie Gurgle Issue

    Ounce i had the same problem and cutting the stinger did not solve it. Your best bet is to smoke dry baccy very slow.

    Trying Out an English Blend.

    A blend may tell you fast if you like it or nor. I was an aromatic smoker until i try in the very early 70's the sobranie 759. That was the first time i tasted latakia and since the first minute i knew this is what i liked. I stop to smoke aromatics since then. For over 50 years or more i have...

    Gold

    With the USA debt in trillions , it is normal that people do not feel as safe with the dollar as before. Hence the increase in gold price.

    Cremo Cigars- Anyone Heard of Them?

    Right. Ex cohiba torcedores means nothing. They do not design the liga. If they do not have the proper leaf they can roll a beautifull cigar but that do not mean it will taste good.

    Big Swan Neck Billiard Fixation

    That is a real swan neck. The Sasieni , may be a great bent pipe , but not a swan neck. I think that the concept of swan neck have a more loose interpretation now than before. Now i see many regular bents called swan necks when before they were simple bents. That french pipe is a real one, Just...

    Pipes That Don't Stay Lit?

    I think that tobacco cut and humidity plays a major rol. But i admit that sometimes a restricted flow may affect the burning in a considerable way. Try with drier baccy , smaller cut , soft hand on the filling and you may open the draw of your pipe if that is not enough.

    Esteli Nicaragua cigars

    Odessey is not a favorite of mine. I found little body and extremley mild for me . It is what in Cuba is called tabaco flojo. In my opinion , there are better choices at low prices. But , if you like them , they are the way to go...for you.

    Big Swan Neck Billiard Fixation

    Many people call swan neck to simple bent pipes. The concept is clear on old dunnies LC , some old GBD , Martello, Parks , Amorelli Paris, some old french briars , etc. But so many simple bents are called like that that the concept is loosing its sense.

    Bottomless Oxidation on Vulcanite?

    If you have patience you may try this. With cotton and alcohol , pass several times. It would turn worse , maybe green. What this is doing is taking the oxidation out. Then , continue several times with the cotton and alcohol until it improves and you see less oxidative material on the cotton...

    Well , they certainly do not look like the cheap cigars they were. But at that price , you have many options for very good cigars.
