Question about longer term storage. There are about 4 or 5 tobaccos that I really love and have been buying in bulk. I store about 1 lbs in 2 liter lockable jars. Then I take a bit and keep it in either a regular mason jar or a Wide Mouth 1/2 Mason jar that way I don't expose to much air to...

Does anyone know if Sutliff makes either Molto Dulce or Moulin Rogue are made in bulk vs the 1.5 oz can? I sure hope so.

Anyone here prefer matches over lighters? Tonight I was watching a "how its made" program and they profiled Swedish Match, who makes matches. I was looking to buy a few of their boxes and can't find anyone who sells them. That got me to thinking and researching. I have discovered that there...

Hey everyone – not looking to start a holy war here but looking for some honest feedback and insight. What are the true health risks with smoking a pipe? It is my understanding that it’s probably the least harmful form of tobacco use but even so, I wonder how harmful it actually is. In other...

Specifically, I am talking about my Falcon pipe, which has threads on the bowl. I am wondering if I could be using a soft but firm bristles when cleaning the threaded areas and small parts. I've only used pipe cleaners so far. Thanks everyone. Z

I have a pipe with a little rubber thing at the end that allows me to clench the pipe. Whats that called? Will they fit on most pipes? I need to get some. I only have 1 but really like it once I got used to it.

There was a very interesting survey on their website that asked you some questions and based upon your answers, they recommended a particular blend. No big surprise that mine showed up as Molto Dulce, which I absolutely love. So when looking further at their website, I noticed that Moulin...

Union official: Smoking, obesity, other health issues could mean paying more under ObamaCare Jim Angle By Jim AnglePublished December 18, 2013 Under ObamaCare, smoking, obesity and other health conditions sometimes penalized by wellness programs can force even those with employer-provided...

The very first tin I ever tried was Moontrance. I really liked it but I only smoke it occasionally. Today I decided to smoke some and when I opened the lit, the tobacco was crisp dry. It looked to be sealed properly but I wondered if there is a shelf life for tobacco once its been opened...

I've been reading all day today about how the PC police have essentially killed off any mention of Santa smoking a pipe. But it got me to wondering what kind of tobacco he must have smoked since being mentioned in the poem "Twas the night before Christmas" in 1823. What blend do YOU think he...

I know there are tons of pipe pouches but has anyone seen a single pipe pouch that only holds the pipe and not the tobacco, tamper, PCs and lighter? So I have a short walk from my car to where I work so I have a few min walk. What I usually do is pre-pack the pipe and just put it in my coat...

I've experienced really enjoying a certain tobacco but then I'll try it in another pipe and its not as enjoyable. And I am talking about new pipes, not talking about ghosting. Stated another way, should I be trying various tobaccos in various pipes until I find the right combo (then stick to...

What 5 bands would you only smoke if you only had 5 to choose from? I think I would have to go with, in this order: 1) Sutliff 2) Tewksbury 3) Boswell 4) Lane 5) McClelland Z

It goes something like this. "Oh I didn't know you smoke a pipe. It makes you look old."  Or "I thought only old grandpa's smoked pipes". Then after I light up, they almost all say, "wow, I love the smell of your pipe".   The interesting thing is that I usually ask if they smoke cigars and most...

Hey BoB - I've only been here a short while and I am so glad I joined.  You are truly a fantastic group of people and thank you for the warm welcome and the great birthday wishes.  I did something I do every year.  This year I called it my 50-50-50.  I do 50 exercises, 50 lbs with 50 reps each...

On Nov 26, I turn the big Five-Oh.  I feel young, healthy and strong. In just this year alone, I've lost several friends my age or younger so I am glad to be alive.  Last year on my B-Day, I did what I always do on my birthday.  I did a 49-49, which is 49 exercises 49 times. I need to think of...

A new introduction to me and I cant get enough of this stuff.....

A few months ago, I decided to smoke particular aro tobaccos in the same pipe each time. Then I think i read that Meerschaum pipes don't ghost. How can that be when I clearly see residue in the bowl? Does Ghosting really have to do with the tobacco oils getting into the briar wood as opposed...

I smoke the usual stuff from Lane but recently, a eFriend of mine sent me a tin of Moulin Rouge from Sutliff. Although I've only been pipe smoking for about a year, I had never heard of it before 3 weeks ago. It has quickly risen to my top 3. They are also the makers of Molto Dulce which is...

Does any know of a good repair shop in the Seattle area that can repair a relatively new Pearl Eddie? I've only had it a few months and I don't use it often because I have a ton of other lighters. It's probably something minor but it doesnt light anymore. Yes, it has butane. :sunny:
