    Never heard of 'em, Lord G. Do you mean Pipes & Cigars?

    Mold on FVF in 250g boxes

    Thanks for the replies, fellas. Perhaps my request for assistance was unclear. I didn't really need assistance in identifying the problem as mold. It clearly is, and smokingpipes affirmed that they've had several recent cases in 250g boxes of FVF. I've been a pipe smoker for over 25 years and...

    Mold on FVF in 250g boxes

    I bought twenty 250g boxes from smokingpipes and the tobacco in four of the baggies was caked in mold -- not just a little mold, absolutely encased in it. Smokingpipes offered to take back all of it, but I'm unsure whether anyone else has experienced the same problem, and whether I really need...

    Dave_In_Philly

    While gaining your confidence with an affable manner and engaging sense of humor, Dave is one of those guys who then sends more than the agreed upon quantity and pays more than the agreed upon price. Unless you're willing to tolerate this type of behavior, I'd suggest you steer clear of this...

    Hopefully History will not repeat itself 24 years later.

    I have two young sons of my own, Mike, and I fear our leaders have made the world a more perilous place for them to survive and prosper. I hope your children and mine live to ripe old ages so they can tell their children stories about the good old days of their youth, rather than have to explain...

    I just tried (fresh) Samuel Gawith's Full Virginia Flake

    Kyle: Unfortunately, others do not share Mike's estimation of FVF as a "good, but unremarkable Virginia." Otherwise, there would be no shortage of it available to those of us who love the stuff. He's right that the older stuff was more consistently sweet and richer, but IMHO it is still the...

    The mason jar aging process

    The answer to your question is yes, with qualifications. Whether you choose to dip into your jars depends upon what you hope to achieve by aging it to begin with. I mean, you can leave your tobacco in an unsealed bowl on the mantle and it will attain the same chronological age as your sealed...

    Dave_In_Philly

    Dave is another of the many great guys on this forum. Even thought the deal transpired over the holidays and it took me a few days to get it posted to him, he was the the epitome of patience. Having lived in the Philly area for a few years gave us a point of common experience and I found him to...
