    Brown Flake Liquorice

    agreed I bought several pounds site unsmoked. Mars may have actually special ordered them for me, they were the first to be able to get them. The tin note is strong licorice, but it really doesn't come through in the flavor. there might be stronger batches out there. it smells similar to Kendal...

    Stuck Stem

    I think it cost less than a repair job would lol. Really nice pipe, maybe I should try brining it outside on a really rainy humid day?

    Stuck Stem

    I've got a new old stock Orlik straight billiard with an innertube. The stem is stuck. I turned it a quarter way left and it just wont budge anymore. I've tried freezing and freezing about ten times and there is nothing I can do. Can anyone help me? This is a really dope pipe

    Chocolate Flake - Gawith Hoggarth vs Samuel Gawith?

    Maybe but probably because many people don't understand what Tonquin tastes like. I too get a very vanilla-chocolate, sometimes I even mix in some Vanilla Flake. Either way there us nothing like lavender in the blend

    Chocolate Flake - Gawith Hoggarth vs Samuel Gawith?

    ? There is (of course?) no lavender in Bob's Chocolate Flake at all & nothing that noticebly resembles Tonquin

    Amaretto

    hey guys, anybody tried C&D Luciano? I'm looking for an Amaretto blend. Would go straight for the last 2 SG Limited editions but the reviews say the amaretto topping is absent. What about Sunset Breeze?

    Crowley's Peluke Molasses

    Ok i guess thats what it must be, i like the idea of really strong tobacco thats very heavily topped with molasses

    Crowley's Peluke Molasses

    He had many parcels from America with boxes of chocolates (in them) when they were rationed here, and at one time he had boxes of chocolates stacked from floor to ceiling. And he had this very strong (peluke) tobacco made with molasses; and the smell of that tobacco stayed in the room for a long...

    No-Nik

    Hey speedy I'm a little confused by what you mean. The pipe is the punto oro 111, it def looks like a punto oro, but the box has a no-nik sticker on it. So does the no-nik mean 9mm filter? If so thats awesome, because it means smoking w out the filter it will have a wide open draw i assume

    Gawith Sweet Pigtails

    I got the licorice pigtail and the regular licorice and the pigtail is so thin. i would go with the larger ropes but the licorice one isn't very sweet. maybe the others are. Also the Maple is available from the us sellers, i think it might just be called "sweet maple" in other countries. Again I...

    No-Nik

    Hiya mugs, I recently acquired a NOS Savinelli Punto Oro. It came in the older savinelli box that's similar to the on they use now with different gold writing. On the side of the box it has a gold sticker in place that I just noticed that says "No-Nik". Now I've seen Sav No-Nik pipes here and...
