    All Day Smoke?

    Just wondering about this phrase. You see many descriptions of pipe tobacco include this phrase in one form or another. You also read many reviews the state this as well. Some tobaccos are to be smoked in the morning, some right before a meal, some after a meal, and some right before bed...

    Jim's Standard Tobacco Company Reviews.

    I have smoked a boatload of Russ's blends and think they are the bomb! Guess I will have to build another cabinet and lay in a new supply of mason jars when these hit the market. OH the anticipation and the Question I will be asked, " Don't you think you have enough tobacco?" Oh well, I guess...

    When popping open a new tin....

    Most usually just dive right in, the anticipation kills me! Open it up, drink it in with my nose, pick out a pipe load her up and smoke it.

    Some thoughts on Dunhill tobaccos

    Very interesting topic ranging from how tobacco has changed and how some think the quality is less and others think it to be the same or even better. Let me say that I have had a hand in the tobacco business, growing and handling, since I was a child. I agree that it has changed to a large...

    Estate Kaywoodie needs a cleaning

    First of all that is a good looking pipe, excellent job. I have found Course salt and Vodka helps a lot. Also the stem could maybe use a good bristle brush and some pure grain. Best of luck.

    Tobacco fail

    I know, I wish I didn't like the majestic weed so well but I do! Tobacco is a lot like Bourbon Whiskey. Some of it may be better off used for other things, I just try to avoid those at all cost. I am not slamming anybody and I don't want to be construed as such. This forum and site are great...

    Pipes and Cigars Catalog

    Wish more people sent them out, especially if they are filled with good pics. It is nice to look at different products and the way they are displayed or described. But then again I like getting seed catalogs and knife catalogs as well. I don't have to buy anything and it cost me nothing to...

    Tobacco fail

    For me that would be a list I don't have. I tend to judge tobacco for what it is. Everyone wants to compare this and that or say when so and so made this it was much better! And whats up with all the flowery rhetoric and meritorious babble. I mean if you like it just say you like it. If you...

    221b Black Shag

    Have been smoking it off and on for the past 3 months. I am actually letting it brood in a mason jar between smokes. Just trying to see if the blend changes for the good. Yes it has. On first smoking 221b i thought it was a tad harsh right out of the tin. Like I said I jarred it up and have...

    AG calls on Top Retailers to Drop Tobacco Products

    Just what we need is a few more regulations. Got to love the keepers of the flame, whos flame I don't know but I will keep mine myself. The next order of business is the grouping of pipe tobacco with the vapor sales E-Cigs that is. The FDA wants to regulate the E-cigs and put more...

    P&C tobacco of the month club

    I have been in the pipe tobacco of the month for 4 months now and have yet to be disappointed with the products sent, with exception to the Peking Puffer Pipes. Tobacco is of good quality, some of it i had tried and others i had not until i joined up.

    Selling Tobacco?

    New hope seed is good, have used them. Victory Seed Company is also good. You may want to look at seedman.com, they carry many types and also a lot of good info. I have used all of these sources for heirloom tobaccos as well as other seeds. Best of luck

    California bill to ban internet tobacco sales

    I am with you on that bosun 1, I too question my reps and never get very satisfactory answers. It is a better way to choose for sure. Most of the media is skewed one way or the other. Hands get into pockets easily in politics

    Selling Tobacco?

    Stuffing green river burley in a mason jar may ferment it but you wont have Perique, I really don't know what it will be called. I agree with monbla256. Come over this way to the Carolinas,Maryland,Va.,KY or Tenn and you can probally get hooked up with it if you got the creds to buy it. Or you...
