HU Tobacco Coming to the States
The question raised by @MavErik made me think that in many food productions (I'm thinking especially of wine) it is important that the label reports the words "produced and packaged in...". That is, the fact that a product is born and packaged in the same place, in the same farm, is considered...- Uguccione

Questions on Virginia Blends
Do you know Motzek products? They make - among many others - a virginia blend called "Salvo 2.0". I've heard good things about it, I'm even considering buying a couple of hundred grams.- Uguccione

Good Way to Prepare GH flakes?
Smoking a whole Gawith-flake, simply folding it and putting it in the pipe, is for the fearless, or reckless, or masochistic. I crumble (with my fingers, for me it's more than enough) almost always all the flakes because I get a better flavor (for my tastes) and a less claustrophobic smoke...- Uguccione

Alessandro Corsellini pipes
Being his fellow citizen, I am lucky enough to personally know Alessandro Corsellini, the third and last descendant of a dynasty of pipemakers born in the second half of the 19th century (initially as restorers and pipe sellers, then as artisan producers). However, I had never owned one of his...- Uguccione

Acrylic Stems vs Vulcanite Stems: A Comparison
These are sensations that you notice by touching it, like car dashboards: they are all made of plastic, but the difference in quality between the dashboard of an expensive car and that of a cheap car is immediately noticeable. The better quality acrylic (methacrylate) is harder and more...- Uguccione

Acrylic Stems vs Vulcanite Stems: A Comparison
But if such an ebonite exists, why isn't it always used?- Uguccione

Acrylic Stems vs Vulcanite Stems: A Comparison
The best stem I own is from an Upshall pipe purchased new on their ebay store about 8 years ago. It's soft like ebonite but after all these years it's still black, shiny and doesn't release any bad taste (the real limit of ebonite). I still haven't figured out what material it is, it reminds me...- Uguccione

Savinelli Autograph help
In reality - much less poetically - the Mister G line was introduced to dispose of the excess briar, present in the Savinelli warehouses, due to the first pipe crisis. This is the naked truth. The pipe had to be sufficiently cheap (all sandblasted) and with an aesthetic that could entice the...- Uguccione

Everlasting Seiko Five watches
Mine is also a Frankenstein, called 007 not in homage to the famous secret agent, but because it has a bezel similar to the Seiko skx007.- Uguccione

Will Italian Makers Ever Switch Back to Ebonite/Vulcanite Stems?
I too am among those who prefer the thinnest stem bite possible, but I also adapt to normal thicknesses. So far I have only had one pipe with a stem that was too thick, and it was a Castello: I resold it almost immediately, also because it was also large and heavy, therefore very uncomfortable...- Uguccione
