Indeed, no one else made Orlik pipes but Orlik, unless Cadogan licensed the name for an odd Danish Orlik or two, a la Barling. Orlik is one of the hallowed names of London made pipes, not a Danish tobacco concern. That is merely a licensing of the name. Even smokingpipes gets this wrong. Rich...

Danish made Stanwells and Savinelli Punto Oros are both fine pipes. I had a Punto Oro, and the only reason the word "had" appears in that statement is that I have a specific collecting focus and there just wasn't room for me to keep it. It was a very nice pipe.

I adore the South African snuffs. Very coarse and easy on the nose, lots of ammonia and cow manure, and just enough menthol to add a fresh finish without overwhelming the tobacco. NTSU is my favorite followed by Taxi. Of the European snuffs, F&T Santo Domingo and SG Elmo's Reserve are...

This is actually a delightful anthology of SH stories by modern sci fi authors incorporating elements from HP Lovecraft's mythos. Entertaining.

smoking a bowl of OJK right now i like Storm Front, which is also made using off the shelf C&D tobacco, better. Tough to beat the smooth, nutty goodness of Storm Front.

Orlik made one out of briar that was very neat

For me this is the most cohesive K&K owned property. The whole series is good and nothing is out of place. I especially like CVP, Blackjack and CBP.

McC Matured Virginias No. 24 (Drama) and McC Tudor Castle (Yenidje) are two of my favorite tobaccos.

The single greatest pipe tobacco ever made, in my estimation anyway.

with the B Barling & Sons stamp my guess is 1970s but I'm no expert on Barlings. The more attractive but still cheap Barling's transition pieces were mid 1960s and shape catalogs are available online for that era. They sell for $50-100 unsmoked pretty regularly. You need to read up on their...

four digit shape numbers are transition pieces unless they start with a one and have the arched Barling's Make It's probably a decent pipe but not worth anything

estates excluded, can't beat a Sav at $100 or under

If I had to smoke one tobacco day in and day out it'd probably be SG MVF.

I disagree with this on a couple levels. First, only Americans were smoking these classic American Burleys. Second, the reason they were smoking them is that there was a boatload of money spent marketing Burleys in the early 20th century as the no-bite alternative. Google it and look at the...

the only time I can see rehydrating tobacco is when it's something irreplaceable. The damage is done when the tobacco loses its moisture, throw it out and buy another tin.

once a tin is unsealed the tin is good for about a month. You need to buy some mason jars. Cheap and everywhere and your tobacco is good indefinitely in them.

Santa is no metrosexual snuff nerd, he's taking Kendal Brown. Toast, pffft!

Best Brown Flake, without a doubt
