    Obama signs kids' health insurance bill

    Most pipe tobaccos are too moist for that, however many 'drug store brands' were meant for pipe or RYO...maybe they will tax PA and others as a RYO :shock:

    Obama signs kids' health insurance bill

    True, I started too late on stocking up unfortunately...I didn't start until November and it is amazing to see store shelves empty, the big Sportsmans Warehouse store was out of all powder, had few primers, and most bullets, especially the lead bullets were gone...An order straight from LEE for...

    Obama signs kids' health insurance bill

    Was just browsing the Christian pipe smokers forum and I figured the old bill was dead, looks like this is the SCHIP being signed...pipe tobacco taxes doubled, cigarette taxes almost tripled, RYO tobacco taxes supposedly going from $2/pound to $24/pound? When we can no longer afford to smoke...

    2008 Holiday Spirit

    I received, and smoked some HS last night. The tin aroma was amazing...sweet, chocolatey...I was looking forward to having a bowl full. It required a few relights, as others have stated, and tasted good but not as amazing as the tin aroma. There was a bit of nuttiness and chocolate that poked...

    Experiences with Clay Pipes

    le peltier pipes are REALLY nice, they are porcelain, and I have several made by them, Zenith, and that other holland brand lol Used double wall pipes can be HORRIBLE, because cake and nasty gunk build up in the double wall and just RUIN the smoke, I've bought some on ebay, and one from a...

    Peterson's Irish Whiskey

    I bought a tin of Irish Whiskey on ebay a year ago that was several years old...it smelt strongly of Irish Whiskey, so naturally I smoked it with a glass of Irish Whiskey...needless to say the combination hit me a bit hard, and standing up after my smoke an drink, it took me a minute to balance...

    Home Stoving Virginas

    good article, I believe home stoving is alright for tobacco that will be smoked quite quickly...my only experience didn't leave me with better tasting tobacco, and as for Greg's article, I wouldn't look to any long term storage of home stoved tobaccos

    Presbyterian Mixture

    Very good stuff, not as smokey as many light english blends, and not as tasty as most oriental blends...I once heard someone say there is a small amount of syrian latakia in it, and I would have to agree, as to my nose it smells of latakia but tastes as if there isn't any... I sure miss when...

    Storage

    Mason jars, or canning jars will keep for years, even without sealing in wax. You can also use just about any airtight container, but be careful with plastic rubbermaid type stuff, as most of them are not very airtight :no:
