Great article. Thanks.

Since we are talking pipe maintenance, can any of you give me a tip on cleaning out the gourd of a meerschaum calabash? There is a collected amount of tar at the bottom inside.of it. Toothbrush with some kind of solvent?

His commission is 35%.

Apparently the reason McC quit was they could no longer get, in their opinion, the superior Virginias to continue.

Peterson does a good job with the rebranded blends so they are less valuable than McC’s. But they didn’t rebrand all of them so some might be valuable in time.

If you want to see how far the market can go, go to 4 Noggins or TinBids. Their prices test the upper limits. Pipestud keeps things moving at “more reasonable “ prices (in comparison). Steve is a very honest guy who knows a lot about tobacco.

I doubt it.

Only when I first sign in.

Very possible. And in the mean time the tins increase in value…

Yup. Just sold at Pipestud today.

Smoking pipes has some nice ones. Much better with these stems.

very nice. Cobs are very useful for testing new blends and easy to clean. Get some more of them. And try a meerschaum one of these days. -.

Great topic here. Thanks for all the comments.

Box fans work a bit. I have a friend who has a study with a ventilation system that yanks out the air entirely and, often. A bit expensive but the only true solution.

Welcome. It was good fortune to get those baccys when you did.

Great, thanks.

Also once you think you’ve found what you like, don’t think you have to buy a ton of it. Your tastes will probably change and evolve. Leaving you with a ton of said tobacco. This is especially true with English Blends that don’t particularly age. But that’s another topic.

Try Arango Balkan Supreme.

Having S. Gaweth Perfection in a cob. Rarely smoke English anymore.

I just set up three cobs for the near future puffing. First is Gaweth Perfection. Then Yorktown with a smidge of McConnell’s Pure Perique. Lastly is Sansepolcro with cut up Cuban cigar tobacco mixed in. Whenever I clip a Cuban torpedo I hack up the nub for mixing in a pipe.
