White Substance On New Tin Tobacco
The tobacco didn't seem very wet. It was moist, but I'd rate it about the midrange from the tobaccos I've had, not too moist and not too dry. I don't think I could return it either, I don't have the receipt or the tin it came in so I'd just be bringing in a jar of tobacco. Sure, it'd smell the...- daxp

White Substance On New Tin Tobacco
I got some 4th Generation 1897 last Thursday, and put it in a jar when I got home (mostly so that it would fit better with the rest of my little collection). I grabbed the jar and opened it up and noticed a small patch of white stuff near the bottom of the jar. After some googling and...- daxp

What's Your Go-To Web Retailer?
Not that it's needed, but I'm gonna give Pipes And Cigars another mention. I'm really wanting to get one of the Pipe VS Cigar specials! And if you want to try out a corn cob pipe (I prefer them to briars, and they're CHEAP in price but not quality) I'd recommend Aristocob wholeheartedly. Great...- daxp

Aromatic With a Kick?
I'm not sure if it actually qualifies as an aromatic, but 4th generation 1897 has a very potent vanilla, honey, sweet kind of smell. The taste is pretty much along those lines too, and is fantastic, with a great room note. Based on the smell I thought it would be extremely mild, but I got...- daxp

Pipe Size Question
I wouldn't worry too much about your bowl size. If you want something bigger, pick one up sometime and try it. I prefer larger pipes (my favorite pipe is the MacArthur corn cob, it's huge!), a friend of mine prefers medium sized pipes, and another friend prefers pretty small pipes (his favorite...- daxp

Hot Corn Cob
Do you have any friends you can smoke with? I noticed a little while back that when I smoked with a friend or two I just fell into a pace that kept my bowl really, really cool without needing to relight. After that I just did my best to copy what I did with them, and just like that I had my...- daxp

10 Pounds
Wow. I don't think I even have a pound, and I bought 8oz today! I usually only buy new tobacco when I'm running low. I still have 6oz, so I normally wouldn't have bought anything, but I noticed some bulk flake tobacco I had seen online in my local shop when I was getting a cigar to make pipe mud...- daxp

New Corn Cob Burning Through After Second Smoke
I don't see where I can edit my last post, so I'm just going to make a new one. I got an email back from MM already asking me to send the pipe back for a replacement. It's on the way back to them, and they'll send me a new one when they get it!- daxp

New Corn Cob Burning Through After Second Smoke
I went ahead and sent them an e-mail, I'll call them in a few days if I don't get a reply. And yeah, the MacArthur is a bit more expensive, but it is still cheap. It was about $15 with shipping. Still expected it to last longer, but not the end of the world! I have a few other cobs (several...- daxp

New Corn Cob Burning Through After Second Smoke
Last Wednesday I smoked a friends MacArthur and loved it, decided to order my own! I got it Saturday and have smoked it twice. On the second smoke it seems like it has started to burn through the cob about halfway down! I've been smoking and packing it the same way I do my other cobs, and the...- daxp

A Recommendation For Anyone Wanting To Smoke Indoors
Metalmilitia: I'm probably 2 or 3 feet away from the filter. Maybe a little more, I'm not sure. Roadqueen/Dervis: And I like the room note as well. I like it ALOT. Unfortunately the smell kind of spreads out in my house, even with doors closed, and everyone else in the house hates it. So it's...- daxp

Missouri Meerschaum Rocks
That's a great looking pipe! I got a grab bag from them and a Country Gentleman, and I love them. I actually smoke them more than my Briar pipe.- daxp

A Recommendation For Anyone Wanting To Smoke Indoors
I wanted to be able to smoke inside without having to deal with the smell, so I started to look into getting an air purifier. Most of them are terribly expensive, but I found a pretty cheap way to stop the smell! I got a smoke exterminator candle and a Hamilton Beach air purifier/filter. The two...- daxp

Quick Questions About Some Tobacco I Ordered.
Sorry guys, I could have sworn I mentioned the blend! It's heath & home 10 to Midnight. I did some googling (don't know why I didn't before) and found a review that calls it a crumble cake cut. I'm going to read that, might answer my question for me! And the VS looks and smells fine other than...- daxp

Quick Questions About Some Tobacco I Ordered.
I recently ordered a sampler pack of Hearth & Home tobacco from P&C. 4 of the 6 are just like the tobacco I'm used to, though they're drier (which is great, I don't have to dry it myself now!) But one (Virgina Spice) had a small clump of VERY wet tobacco. I'm guessing I should either just take...- daxp

A Few Beginner Questions.
The cake isn't even close to a dime's thickness. I'm just going to leave it for now. I have read the cheat sheet, it has been very helpful! Thanks! And I know, I couldn't believe it when I found it. After some poking around, it turns out it was my grandfather's pipe. It was found in my...- daxp

A Few Beginner Questions.
Alright, I think I'm gonna order one of the Missouri Meerschaum Cobs. Maybe two, since they're so cheap. Along with that I'm gonna look around at the sponsors and order a sample pack, maybe two. I think I'm just gonna leave the cake on there. It's very, very thin, so I don't see a point in...- daxp

A Few Beginner Questions.
I found an older pipe in my house (Ascorti Christmas Special 1989) and decided to start smoking. It's already got some cake, but a very little amount. I've asked the only friend I know who smokes about cleaning it, and we just cleaned it with some pipe cleaners but did not remove any of the...- daxp
