Hello. I was going to buy more of SPC's Plum Pudding Rsv which I've had before and is one of my top 5 of all-time. I understand (correct me if I'm wrong) that it has 2 Cavendishes: black & another (brown?). To save $ I was going to get the non-Rsv this time, but was wondering if any of you can...

Hello. I'm looking for more tobacco blends with Cavendish in them. I truly enjoy Dunhill's The Apertif and Blackhouse which contains black CAV. Can anyone recommend any other blends with Cavendish; black or brown, which has a noticeable, discerning Cavendish presence to it? Thanks & Best...

Hello. Hope all are well. I'm on a Cavendish kick right now, and am enjoying it. I feel as if I'm getting the most flavor from a pipe tobacco as I've never experienced before. I'm currently in the market for a nice Cavendish that isn't too strongly flavored with casings or additions. I've tried...

Hello. Hope all are well. I've finally narrowed-down my favorite "go to" daily smokes: Northwoods for the black Cavendish, G.L. Pease's Westminster w/ some Latakia & Turkish/Orientals as a fav "English" blend and C&D's Pirate Kake for a pure, Lat bomb experience. Does the type of pipe bowl you...

Hello. Hope all Brothers & Sisters are well... I'm in a quandary about the most Latakia-Forward of the G.L. Pease blends. I've had Odyssey, Quiet Nights and Gaslight and am now smoking Westminster which has a nice Latakia kick, but am wondering thru personal experience if any of the previously...

Hello. I was wondering how most of you actually "taste" the tobacco you happen to be smoking? Is it thru you're tongue's taste buds or thru the retro-hale? I've noticed I actually get more flavor thru the retro-hale... Is your method of "tasting" your tobacco always constant that way or does...

Well, then in that case, can anyone suggest a good sub for Frog Morton's "Cellar?" It was one of my top 10 favorite tobaccos, and one of the few I've ever ordered more than once! Thanks again, Piedpiper62

I'm glad I've got this wrong... Thanks for the correction. Best, Piedpiper62

Does anyone happen to know what % of Latakia is actually in Ten Russians? It certainly can't be 75% like the Pirate Kake... Thanks, Piedpiper62

Hello. I hope all are well. With Cornell & Diehl "closing" doors so to speak, can anyone suggest a good, viable substitute for my (our) beloved Pirate Kake, aside from the obvious Ten Russians? Thanks, Piedpiper62

Does anyone kindly know how to add the Emoticons on the left into the body of the topic? Thanks. PiedPiper62 :) :) :)

Thanks ALL for the suggestions. I have blending black Cavendish & Latakia too... I'll try my own blend or "mixture" It'll be fun to see what I can come-up with. Maybe a little extra black Cav. in the Black Mallory! Enough in the Northwoods already. I want the best of both worlds, too. Can never...

Hello. Hope all are well. Within the past month I've finally had the pleasure of trying Boswell's "Northwoods". A blend of black Cavendish, Latakia & Virginia... I was immediately smitten, and now cannot get enough of the stuff! It's almost like an intoxicating "drug" with it's feel good...

Hello. Today I received a jar of Paragon wax and Halcyon wax to clean, polish & protect my smooth and rusticated/sandblasted pipes. But, although they didn't come with usage instructions, it's probably a no-brainer: apply a coat of wax, let it dry, then buff with a clean, cotton cloth. Repeat...

Hello. I've run across a new brand (for me) called VOLKAN on eBay. Nice looking pipes, reasonably priced, made in Italy by a Polish pipe maker... Has anyone heard of this make and if so, what is your opinion of them? Thanks PipedPiper62

Hello. Can anyone with knowledge & experience recommend a wax, paste and/ or solution; along with a process for getting my smooth and rusticated pipes as shiny and as polished as possible? Thanks & Best, PiedPiper62

Not as good as the Peterson I mentioned, I bought. Plus, the built-in tamper takes up room in lieu of the solid brass butane reservoir which gives you twice the gas... The Peterson is the way to go! At least for my taste.

I bought a Peterson w/ no tamper or pick, thus larger gas tank, at GQ Tobaccos in the UK. /without VAT and with Royal Air Mail at about $13.00 I got a rare solid chrome with vertical stripes for about $70.00. It has a small "P" logo on the bottom of one side & I love it!! Without fail lights...

Hello. Hope all are well. First, why is there a shortage of Meat Pie when it was a plenty some time back, and secondly, does anyone know where to get a tin or know of someone who has a spare tin to sell? I can't find the sell or trade section here on this site for the love of Judas!! Thanks &...

Hello. I hope all is well... I'm a pen, pad, paper & leather and wood lover so to speak. I saw Bradley on Stuff & Things do a favorable review on ZYLC in a set of 2: a passport size, standard & pen holder all for 40 Bucks at Amazon. I'm thinking of ordering this set next week in dark green (as...
