Surprises in GL Pease Tins?
Anyone else find surprises in their GLP tins? So far I've found whole leaves of Latakia, flakes of Red VA, chunks of stalk, and generally just amazing tobacco. I feel like these little surprises contribute to the feel of the blends being handmade, almost as if they were blended by the tin...- tjameson

Antique Mall PAD Today!
My wife and I went to the antique mall today and I saw quite a few estates. Some maybe overpriced but I found one case where all the pipes were marked $6.50. Most were in rough shape one even had tape on the bottom to fix a burnout. But I scored what I thought were the best two. The first is a... -
A Long Overdue Thank You to Cigrmaster!
A little over a month ago Harris (Cigrmaster) contacted me and much to my surprise he asked if I would like two pipes that had fallen out of his normal rotation. I gladly accepted his extremely generous offer. He sent out the pipes and I received them the very first day I was in my new... -
The MacB Dark Twist Challenge
After the discussion about MacBite I've started smoking from my jar of Dark Twist again. I had it in my mind that whatever bite I was getting was from poor cadence and drying/packing technique. Over the last couple days I've been trying to get the most flavor out of this notoriously bitey, but...- tjameson

Dark Star or St. James Woods...What to Pop Next?
So I'm down to my last couple flakes of ODF and its time to open a new VA/ VAPer. I have a tin of '06 Mclellend Dark Star and '11 St. James Woods. Any thoughts on these two blends? I'm excited to try both but at the rate I smoke I'm only going to open one tin. Any tips for preparing either? I've...- tjameson

My WNTD :)

Fixing My Draw
I have a bent Eriksen that I smoke Lat blends in, but it has always had a bit of a poor draw and ocassional gurgle. Last night I decided to open the draw a bit in the stem and rework the draught hole. The pipe was drilled a bit above the bottom of the bowl but not much. I took a needle file and...- tjameson
