    Looking For A Really Good Pipe Lighter

    I am a zippo, for pipers, all the way. Yes, true, it will run out on you. But, it is a nostalgia thing for me. I carry about 2 in my pocket at any one time. John Kelly

    How To Home Stove Tobacco - Informational Only

    Thanks for the reply. I will certainly give this a try. I mentioned the tins because somewhere I read "Haddos" is great once stoved. But, I could see where Virginia Slices would do well... I haven't stoved, but have read about it. I'll pick up some Bullseye and give it a try... John

I was talking about one I bought on eBay that was restored and clean and wasn’t. Finally, I got it cleaned up enough- salt treatment, lots of...
