Simple Man: traded a pete 80s for a Savinelli Roma - fast and smooth trade - great pipe :)

My Old Boy lighter was starting to behave like an insolent child - leaking gas, not striking easy, etc. Attempted cleanings with pipe cleaners and alcohol provided little relief. Upon close exam I found that there is a single screw holding the top works on the lighter (others attempting this...

some pics of the new lathe at work and a few other tools in the shop... the lathe is from Harbor Freight - a rebranded Jet - still waiting for my jacobs chuck for the tailstock and a 4 jaw independent chuck to arrive - will be making some custom jaws for it when it gets here - for now I have to...

Finally got my lathe, been mucking with it for a few days - Yesterday I managed to snap the stummel shortly before finishing it, today I managed to turn a good long stummel only to snap it off while attempting to carve the bowl (nothing like failure at high speeds - made the mistake of trying to...

In the News: Changes to PACT Act To accommodate the needs of military families that ship to these destinations, the USPS® has identified alternative mailing options for mailpieces containing cigarettes and smokeless tobacco sent as gifts between individual adults to APO/FPO/DPO destinations...

Ok, I have been sealing my tins with paraffin just to be safe, and recently decided to try to do without the wax. Put tins into jars and coolers, waited a few days, gave them all the sniff test. None are passing the test. Now it could be that a high percentage of tins leak (I have 4 to 9 per...

Ye Old Falcon was kind enough to send me one of his drawings, shown below happy in it's new home... As I am one who is fond of both Holmes and wheel guns, it is much appreciated :)

Latest update from PipesMagazine - 5 blends in September Found this post on another board, looks like the real deal this time... Forum post here[list=1]

Been eyeing it for a while now - finally decided to try it after seeing a video on YouTube showing it being made - all by hand, tossed a few tins onto a pipe tobacco order - glad I did :) Tic Tac sized spit free mellow enjoyment - at least from the Original flavor

One or two of my favorite tobaccos come from a less distinguished bloodline than the rest of my cellar - names that are never mentioned alongside Gawith and Pease... I came to the realization that each of us has his Walnut :) From the pricing at P&S I am willing to bet that Stokkebye Proper...

Picked up a tin of HH Vintage Syrian a while back, just cracked it - really unimpressed, not just with the syrian which is barely there, but the virginias also lack any character. One might say it's a pleasantly mild smoke, if one were looking for a smoke so mild that it barely existed - a...

Anyone know a good place to order this wonderful Wellauer's Latakia?

Made up a blend a few weeks back - my first - which turned out quite well. I was hoping that some here might provide some insight as I attempt to refine it. The original blend: 10 parts Old Gowrie 6 parts Latakia 3 parts Oriental 2 parts Perique using all McClelland blenders It was very...

Does anyone know a source in the US for pounds of Grousemoor Plug? Everyone I am familiar with is out with no word on restocking.

I am looking for a database, spreadsheet - I can likely make use of any type of list as long as it is on a computer... looking for Manufacturer, Blend, and Tin Description I have contacted TobaccoReviews to ask them, but he is currently hiking the Appalachian trail (no kidding :) Anyone here...

I was sealing up some bulk in mason jars, and going the extra mile by dipping the tops in paraffin wax when I figured why not play it safe with my Penzance tins and dip the edge all the way around - a cautious start ended up working very nicely and I did all my tins. Not really needed for most...
