    Penpal (Aussie/Kiwi)

    I have some global first class stamps that I haven’t used for a few years. I’d like to send a “letter” to someone that would get the greatest enjoyment from it.

    Dallas Pipe Shop

    If you fly into DFW you’ll be close enough to Old Grapevine Cigar and Tobacco. One of the few places around with a pipe tobacco selection. There’s a Baja Cantina a few blocks away. They have an extra strong Margarita. Just ask for a perfect. Frozen and rocks are both delicious if you like them...

    Is it Possible to Have an Allergy to Latakia?

    If you want to smoke you can’t listen to what the doctor has to say.

    How Long Can You Wait before Relighting ?

    Dumping to clean out the pipes is a good idea if you’re anal. Don’t let that stuff sit all night.

    Should I Buy Aged Tobacco?

    Aged is my preference, but it only improves tobacco it doesn’t transform it.

    How many bowls from a 50g tin?

    About 15 per tin for me. I smoke about 80% to ash and dump about 20% dottle

    PS Luxury BEF and Navy Flake

    stokebye flakes are great and underrated. Sit on them for about 5 years. If you don’t like them sell them at a profit.

    Brown Mark on Vulcanite Stem on Brand New Ropp Pipe

    Looks like a mold line from manufacturing. If it collects moisture it will discolor. It should have been buffed out. I’d send it back.

    Unburned Tobacco or Dottle Question

    I smoke to the bottom if I’m enjoying it. I usually dump some ash about 2/3 in if it gets hard to relight. If it’s still good I’ll stir the bottom. But if it gets unpleasant I’ll dump it half way. My pipe serves me.

    Pipes & Cigars

    I agree with you. I’m going to keep buying from them. Overall my experience with them is pretty good. Ironically, this may be a tin they offered to exchange for me 9 years ago.

    Pipes & Cigars

    I'm certainly not a mycologist, but I do have some experience with mold. In my limited experience I've only had problems with mold when two conditions have been met: something is wet mold spores are present I keep my tobacco inside my house in a spare bedroom. It's a clean dry...

    Pipes & Cigars

    You only have 30 days to return tobacco. This tin had no issues with the seal. Bottom of the tin had no rust. Just opened it this weekend. It was an old tin. I've had to move several to jars as they form tiny rust pits on the bottom of the Classic Burly Kake, Anniversary Kake and Marble Kake...

    Not a Beginner... But did I Break this new Stanwell?

    The top and sides look great. It’s hard to smoke through the bottom. I’ve burned through the side of several cobs and even a few briars, but you really have to try to burn a hole through the bottom

    Is this normal?

    The pipe is odd. High stummel drill and off center at the bowl. You probably won’t be able to pass a pipe cleaner all the way. Just use a fluffy pipe cleaner as far as it will go several times each smoke.

    Cleansing The Palate Between/During Smoking Sessions

    I don’t think I’ve ever cleansed my palate. My palate must be filthy. Probably worse than the top of my fridge. I cleaned it three years ago

    Looking for Tips : Moderate Oxidation Removal on Vulcanite Stems

    A tiny bit of acetone on a soft cloth will dissolve sulfides quickly but I don’t know what it will do to a white spot.

    That's It I Quit!

    Are you smoking outside? Is it humid where you’re smoking? I prefer smoking when it’s cold because the air is dryer.
