Mister E- Thanks for the tip. I will give it a try when I receive my tin of Winter Flake that I recently ordered. I expect it will be much like other SG flakes so I will try the cubed method you described. Simple Man-I will try to snap some photos and post them. I'm in a pretty scenic spot...

Lately I have been discovering more about how different tobaccos behave at different levels of dryness. I think that is because I only began smoking a pipe about 4 years ago and as I accumulate more tins of this and that, other ones take the backseat until being re-discovered down the line...

Wow. The amount of tobacco some of you guys have stored up amazes me...fills me with envy. I was feeling rich because I have a few unopened tins of Three Nuns. Pounds of Penzance...can't even fathom.

OP, if you really want to smoke undisturbed and when and where you want being married with a 4yo ain't the way to do it even if you don't know it you have more important things. what does your wife do in the evening for an hour undistributed? Well...actually what I want is to enjoy being...

Hey Bentbulldog, I think I can pipe in here because it sounds like you and I are married to the same woman. We live in Korea which means unless you are living in the countryside, you are urban living. We live in an apartment that is reasonably large by Korean standards but would be considered...

Another cool plug to try out is Gaslight by GL Pease. It's maybe the only plug out there with Latakia in it and it is easily available in the US. It is a perfect one for winter.

I think you should hang on to them but keep them nicely stored. It is amazing the way tobacco, especially quality aromatic ones, can take on a different character as time goes by. Also, your tastes may change over time and you may find later that they are not so bad. One experience I had this...

I have an empty Navy Flake tin that I dump spilled tobacco into. Currently it consists of about 10 different kinds of tobacco probably dust as well...a real kitchen sink blend. One day in the far distant future I will be either brave enough or desperate enough to smoke it. :|

Its amazing how different our palates can be and how we can all taste things differently. I had read many reviews and impressions of Semois tobacco and yet after finally receiving some, my impressions were totally different. I love it, but its way different than what I expected. I don't seem...

I try to restrain myself but its too hard. Currently I have 12 open and I'm pretty sure if I make any more purchases in the next little while I will tear into those too. My philosophy is that anything could happen. Like, I could be struck by lightning tomorrow or a building fire could engulf...

Many people look for blends that are cigar-like or go for blends that contain cigar leaf. However, I would like to recommend Three Nuns to those cigar lovers out there. I have always been a fan of Punch cigars. They have a spicy, dark finish to them that can't be beat. Having smoked a number...

I have always been a fan of English made pipes. I would love to have a Dunhill one day but for now I have a number of BBB's, GBD, and Dr. Plumb. They all smoke really well and are easy to clean. Also I tend to favor english blends so there is something fitting about smoking them through a...

I work in international education. Canada (in particular British Columbia) is in the process of opening up "offshore schools" around the world and my job is working as an administrator in one of them in Korea (used to be in China). My day to day entails marketing, curriculum development...

I'm with you on that one Burley. Here in Korea the weather changes from cold and dry (perfect pipe weather) to hot and humid (perfect cigar weather). Nowadays the trees are growing really lush and any day the monsoons are going to kick in. The last few days I have been enjoying some Curivaris...

Dunhill MM965. Pleases everytime!

Hey all, In a month I am flying Korea to Vancouver with a lengthy stopover in Tokyo (Narita Airport). I am wondering if anyone here has had the opportunity to pass through there before and could comment on the tobacco selection/prices at the duty free there. I don't have high hopes for pipe...

Thanks! I like that Curivari sells in boxes of 10. 10 is a good number and you get a nice little box as well. I will definitely try the Reserva next. As I mentioned once, almost all of the cigars available in Korea are Cubans. I am going to pick up a few this week. Looking at the Upman...

Hey all, Anyone tried any Curivaris? I just bought a box of the Curivari Buenoventuras (Bellicosos) and wondered if any other brothers out there have tried them. Can't wait to get my hands on them.

Thanks for posting the picture! Much appreciated.

Lately I have had a growing interest in cigars. However because I live in Korea they are quite hard to come by. There is only one shop that sells cigars here, called Cigar Story. Most of them are high priced Cubans going from 10 to 40 dollars for a stick. Of course I would love to try them...
