Mine is an excellent smoker. Bulldog with horn stem.

In general, the square, ie, rectangular tins are the most susceptible to breaking the seal. Screw tops and tab tops are pretty safe.

Well that is one person's opinion. I have mine, and you have yours., A high grade pipe will usually get you better construction, ie engineering, and a better quality briar. Your chances are just better of getting a good smoker. Everyone has the exceptional KW or whatever that was made when the...

SG BBF in a Moretti Rhodesian.

I am not a big fan of tobacco additives. I know some say they all have it, but none of those talking are manufacturers, and only they know. I have smoked tobacco straight from the field, and some of the C&D stuff is the closest to that. I do know that C&D and GLP blends are the only ones I have...

Bishop's Move is a good one. Just be aware most their stuff is lightly sweetened/flavored.

Haven't tried them, just too many good US makers to try.
