    SG St. James Flake

    I know there was a thread awhile back about howthe recent shipment of St. James Flake was funk. I've had several boxes of FVF and St. James sitting around for a week or so, not having time to jar them. Like others have said, the FVF is fine, but SHEESH. The St. James is FUNK! Its not bad...

    Musicians???

    I know some of you have expressed thay you play, but feel free to repeat yourself. I've been playing the guitar since the beginning of this year. I devote quite a bit of time to it, and I'm having a great time. I like to fingerpick and play mostly folk and bluegrass. My mother purchased this...

    Critical for the sake of being critical

    Regarding the pipe on the BoB logo: Am I the only one that thinks this finish is hideous. I'm assuming it's a Pete. I'm also assuming that this particular finish is labeled "Impetigo."

    Mylar Packaging

    Pease, McC, Esoterica, etc.. What do you think about aging tobacco in this type of packaging? I have found that the moisture content is fine on bags that have been four and five years old. However, I am uncertain as to whether they are substantial enough for long term storage. Any info would...

    Do Older GL Pease Tins Rust?

    I read a warning about this somewhere, yet have never observed this problem. Has anyone? If so, what type of tin was it, date, etc.. I'm assuming the "older" tins are the ones that are 3.5" tall with a 3" diameter. I'd be quite peeved to discover that I've had a bunch of rusting tins sitting...

    Wooooo wee. I've been frequenting this site for the past couple of years, yet have never gotten around to signing up. I am now 25. I have been interested in pipes and tobacco since I was about 13 or 14. My father used to smoke his pipes while working on croquet mallets out in our...
