    You only have to ask a Mod or an Admin to move the thread for you. I'd have gone ahead and done it, but I didn't see a better place for the thread.

    Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake

    Gawith ropes. If you ever see a discontinued blend called Bracken Flake, that one also. Dark Birds Eye, several of the Kendal, like Dark Shag, and others are potent. Dark Kentucky, Bosun Cut Plug, and Coniston Cut Plug are all strong. Not everyone like the flavorings on some of the Gawith...

    Help identify pipe

    There were a lot of brands available back in his day. Hard to say. What is it about that pipe that interests you? Is it the deep carve? I don't think it's actually sandblasted.

    McClelland's Bulk 5110 Dark Full English???

    That may not be possible. The unique processes that go on behind closed doors of tobacco blenders can be close guarded secrets. There are a number of suggestions on the Tobacco Reviews website. Most I am not familiar with. My own suggestion would be to explore the GL Pease offerings...

    Different Wallet styles.

    Mine is a standard bi-fold from Saddleback Leather Co. 100 year warranty. I really like the thick full grain leather and have a medium briefcase and a duffel bag they call a "water bag". They are pretty much indestructible.

    water to rind ratio - talking oranges and shrinkflation

    I suspect that orange rind thickness may vary from year to year. We recently bought some Navels that have that very thick rind.

    Ebay advice???

    I honestly do not know. It will soon be 2 years since he last checked in. The mods discussed this a couple times. My best guess is, that he's in some type of care facility without Internet access.

    Something Like Presbyterian Mixture?

    That's gonna be a tough one. I would try GL Pease Westminster or Meridian, and even Piccadilly or Kensington. Then you have a chance of finding them in 8 oz tins. In fact, there could be a number of GL Pease to choose from and one of them might just be the right taste for you. When I am in...

    I cannot stand the music. I consider advertising to be an assault upon me personally.
