Greetings from the oldest & luckiest Attendee at the show! Let me say, at the outset, that I have been attending this show for seven or eight years &, without exception, this was the best location & smoothest run show in my experience. I could mention names but I will not for fear of omitting...

This will not be either long or involved; instead, just a simp;e "Thank you" the the four responders to my question regarding Penzance dating. As a general rule, I date everything that has to do with tobacco in tins or bags at the time that I receive it. But, that is my dating, not the...

As is usually the case, I am here with a request for your assistance in determining the production date of some Penzance tobacco. I have examined the exterior of an unopened 8 oz. package & can find nothing related to production dates. If you can give me some direction, I will appreciate your...

Good day Brothers, As many of you know, some of the Brothers & others sent three boxes of cigars, tobacco, pipes, tampers, pipe cleaners, spices & herbs & a wee tad of single malt. The boxes have arrived & the fellows of long rifles, scopes & big ass bullets send their profound appreciation...

Years ago, or it might have been yesterday, I recall some mention of repairing a crack by using a mixture of cigar ashes & a liquid. Can any of you folks fill in the blanks for me? I have a McCranies with a blast that has a crack measuring app; one inch that I would love to attempt a repair...

It would appear that I am not the only graybeard enjoying this site & for that, I am most appreciative. I searched, w/o success, the Pipedia, for Mr. Lazlo's name & country of origin so I can only assume that the name was chosen from the phonebook in an effort to keep his true identity a...

In times past, I have asked for the names of American carvers both past & present & the BOB has been most helpful. I, now, have a lovely little freehand that originated in Europe & was carved by an individual unknown to me who's name is LASLO. Ring a bell with anybody? Honest, I have used...

What a great report & the pictures were super! I attended the show too & from my past experience, this was, by far, the club's best effort. I shared a table with another old geezer so I missed seeing much of what the photos had to offer. I can vouch for the fact that running a table sure does...

Obviously, my advanced age & lack of mobility prevented me from venturing over to your exhibit in Raleigh on Saturday & for that, I am truly sorry. What a great display of pipes, etc. you must have had! I had a 1/2 table with Stan Sokolove & we had fun; plus selling a few things as well. My...

OK, I'll probably be pillered & hanged for bringing this subject into the sacred, & rightly so, best Pipe & Tobacco Site on the web but I stumbled onto a quantity of Frank Vincent cigars last week & decided to try one although I am not a cigar smoker. I have to tell you that this is about the...

Just time to put this topic to bed forever. The 50gm pouch that we discussed recently sold for $21.50, confirming the suggested & reasonable eBay sale price. I believe that $30.00 was suggested as a top offer on eBay. I'm satisfied & that is all that counts, I guess.

I sampled this blend about a month ago & was pleasantly surprised at the similarity to the Old Dunhill EMP. I had a stash of the old stuff laying around so I was able to compare the blends in a meerschaum pipe. The McClelland variety seems to be a tad sweeter but I think that will mellow out...

I thought that I would add my two cents worth on this weighty topic while waiting for the golf tournament to come on. I tried a pound of Craig's "Hoover" mix sometime back & found that there was more aromatic than suited my taste. My wife, the keeper of the jars, jugs & other containers too...

As a Brother with more tobacco in storage than I can ever hope to use, I have been checking some of the dealers recently & much to my dismay & disappointment, I have found quite a few who have taken the opportunity, in subtle ways, to increase their prices prior to the already cussed & discussed...

Just one more question regarding the subject. I have searched high & low in an effort to find the original manufacturer of this product but to no avail. The pouch that I have was made by Sobranie of London & from what I have found, Sobranie of London is primarily a supplier of various forms of...

As some of the Brothers know already, I'm just an old unsophiscated member who has waaay more questions than answers. My question today concerns the Balkan Sobranie issue. I have never smoked the blend so I don't quite understand the uproar over its demise. Is it, or more clearly, was it that...

Obviously; I was one of the few who voted for two boxes but I yield to those who favor one only. Count me in. Grant

[b]Good day Winslow, I have invested a fair amount of my pension in Radices & feel that the "bark" rustication is, without a doubt, the finest on the market. The texture compares favorably with my Ardors & Castello Sea Rock. From the standpoint of smokability, I would group the brands...

Sorry for the extended subject but I am in serious need of any or all Brother's advice for correcting the problem. I had a push-pull stem added recently & that seemed to create the problem because I cannot now reach the draught hole at the base of the shank. I have soaked the shank with...

Once again, I find that the Brothers represent a tremendous depth of information & is usually available on a moments notice. As is often the case when seeking a little information, Volumes of pertinent & non-pertinent appear. Then, it is up to the inquisitor to sift through the information &...
