    My Journey into Burley Blends

    Right now I am switching back and forth with Five Brothers and Half and Half. H&H is milder with the nic hit, but I find it quite nice. Five Brothers, what can i say? Blast off!

    Thuoc Lao Tien Lang Vietnamese Tobacco

    I would not smoke this stuff. However it will make a very powerful and possibly dangerous insecticide. Soak about an ounce in a gallon of water for a few days. Strain and put in a sprayer. DISCLAIMER: This stuff is extremely toxic. Kills everything, not just bugs, but birds, fish and you if you...

    Lacquer may not be my best bet

    Reconsidering my choice of lacquer as the final coating on my Bones. Can someone suggest a hard, durable wax to use that I won't have to reapply every 2 weeks? Thanks to all.

    To break in or not to break in? that is the question

    I Have a Nice Pipe and Never Noticed

    Long ago I bought a pipe just for the way it looked. Got some tobacco, smoked it and then put it away in a drawer and forgot about it. Turns out to be a Danish Sovereign model 392. What I've learned is they were made by Stanwell and and enjoy a good reputation. And it is well made and smokes...

    To break in or not to break in? that is the question

    The first step is done

    I've got my 'Bones' stained and allowed to dry for two days. The Angelus Oxblood stain turned out very well. Next on to the shellac coating. Will post final results.

    How to Re-Hydrate Pipe Tobacco

    Which lacquer?

    I am a retired pensioner, time is what I got plenty of.

    Which lacquer?

    I'm trying to decide which aerosol lacquer to use to finish my Bones pipe. I'm looking at Mohawk or Deft. Looking for long service life and toughness. Any concensus?
