    What are you smoking?

    Now decided to relax and smoke McCranie's Red Ribbon vintage 2008 in my Savinelli 320KS Punto Oro smooth briar pipe. My personal opinion for what it’s worth is the 320 series Savinelli pipes are the best Made Smoking pipes for the price. Well that is for a production line pipe!

    Cleaning with peroxide?

    Research on YouTube retort and watch a few videos. I clean my pipes after each smoke with pipe cleaners and thoroughly wipe the chamber with rolled up paper towel. Other then that I do a complete retort when needed.  It’s all part of the hobby.

    Going cruising in January. Pipe or no pipe?

    Lakeland Dark too dry question?

    WWP NOPE, that should not be for sure! I’ve enjoyed that blend many times. Seems your tin lost it’s original seal. Happens often with many rectangular tins, I’ve personally have had issues with prior. Smokingpipes will make it right, always do.
