    Min Wax... wonders for Briar

    Over the years I've bought several estate pipes. Of course the briar of many were rather rough, the top of the pipe stained and scorched, while the balance of the briar was dull and dry looking. Rubbing Alcohol and fine steel wool did a great job of cleaning the char off the top of the pipe. But...

    C&D Big N Burley

    Trying like crazy to like this blend. I've had about 5 bowls in corn cob pipes. This pipes have been taller then wide. So maybe the wrong pipe, maybe a wider pipe. I've had a hard time keeping it lit even though the tobacco does not seem wet, but I'm lighting and relighting way too often. Any...

    How to Pack Escudo Navy De Luxe

    I have gotten a tin of Navy De Luxe that's been sitting here for a few months ad I'm itching to give it a try. I have to questions. 1) What is the best way to pack "coin" or "medallion" flakes? 2) Would I be right in believing it would smoke best in a larger bowl? And I'm assuming larger...

    Match: Early Morning Pipe

    Ah... just opened a jar of Match: Early Morning Pipe that I bottled up in July 2014. 15 months in the cellar and when the lid "popped"... oh my the aroma was delightful. EMP be it from Match or Dunhill is just a wonderful mild and flavorful smoke. I've been experimenting and trying a bunch...

    English or Balkan

    I often go to www.tobaccoreviews.com to see what people are saying about blends I have or am thinking about trying. TR is a great site and allows one to search and sort by blend types. So I was surprised to find the way the site classified a few blends I was searching. Now to be fair, TR is...

    Prince Albert or Prince Andrew

    Two years ago I got back into this hobby and I never considered getting any OTC stuff. But a few months ago I decided to go back to my childhood and get some Prince Albert. At the same time I placed an order for Hearth and Home Prince Andrew. By the time my order came, I had several enjoyable...

    Tobacco You did not Think You'd Like

    So you got some new, never tried before tobacco. You open the bag or tin with great expectation only to be confronted with a strange or repulsive smell. Despite that, you try it anyway and to your delight... you have just found your "new friend" So what tobacco surprised you the most.? For me...

    Questions from the Cellar

    First let me explain my general habits. I typically have three blends open to me at a time. Early Morning Pipe seems to always be in my open stock, but I do change out the other two each month and bring something else out of the cellar. I smoke anywhere from no bowls a day to 3 or 4, depending...

    Estate Pipes

    I've bought a few estate pipes on eBay in the past - no issues; pipes delivered and I'm enjoying them. So I thought I'd go on line last night to see what's out there. I could not believe how many pipes were on line with broken stems. Some look like the owner chew their way through the smoke...

    When is St Augustine,FL

    St Augustine Fl is a rather popular place to visit and people from all over spend time in the oldest city in the US. My wife and I live just a few hours away and recently did a little day trip. While there I stopped into Stogies Smoke Shop at 6 Saint George St. The reason I bring this up is to...

    American Blend

    So I've heard of and smoke English Blends; but what is an American Blend? View www.tobaccoreview.com allows one to sort by blends, and apparently there are lots of American blends. I see Carter Hall is in the list, but there are a lot of others. Just wonder what they are - anyone smoking this...

    Virginia, Burley, Oriental, Balkan - What would you suggest

    Since taking up the pipe again about 2 years ago, I’m finding that I enjoy English blends far more then the aromatics I smoked way back when. Believe it or not, my wife prefers English blends over aromatics. So on to my question. I’m looking for some suggest, but not any type of suggestions...

    Humidity Improves the Smoke

    Over the past year my home as developed an odd, stinky smell. Long story short, I eventually moved my pipes to the back porch. After a few days, the smell dissipated and within a few weeks it was totally gone. However, walking out to the back porch to pick a pipe, then back into the house to...

    C&D Epiphany and Dunhill Mixture 965

    I've been a long time fan of Dunhill's Early Morning Pipe. Look to expand my "cellar" I posted a quest last year and got some suggestions. Epiphany and 965 where two I have since ordered. I found the 965 to be "nothing special. Perhaps since I enjoyed EMP so much - I may have found the 965...

    Mel Burn by Executive Cigar of Melbourne, FL

    My wife prefers an English blend over an aromatic any day. Yep - you read that right. So when she gave me a container of Mel Burn (playful twist on the name of our city) I assumed it would be an English or non aro smoke. Also, being that it came from on of our local cigar shops, I wasn't...

    How Often Do You Change Your Paper Filters

    Most of my corn cob pipes have the Dr Grabow or medico paper filters. To those of you that uses paper filters, my question is how often do you replace the filters with fresh ones? My habit is once a week, sooner if I've smoked a certain pipe heavy; later if I've only smoked it a few times. If...
