Was there stain inside the bowl? This can sometimes cause the first bowl or two to taste bad. One other thing I can think of is that you may have been tasting buffing compound from the stem. Take the stem off and wash it in warm water with a little soap and use a bristle pipe cleaner on the...

My Secret Santa package came last Monday, but between the craziness of the season and a computer that is on the fritz I wasn't able to post a picture until now.   I got all of my favorites along with a tin of Six Pence, which I opened and tried immediately.  it is a good smoke with a hint of...

Bravo Ron!

I'm sorry to hear that the tobacco is bad. Hopefully the seller will make it right. Todd

I have trouble believing that a piece of paper can ruin a bag of tobacco. I say smoke it. It is probably fine. Todd

I found this lighter at a swap meet and purchased it for next to nothing because it would not light. I love the Copper cladding and figured I could send it in to be repaired. The problem is, I have been over every inch of this lighter inside and out, and I can't find any kind of maker's mark...

You will also hear the term Ebonite, which is a high quality grade of vulcanized rubber and Cumberland, which is Ebonite with some color swirled in (usually red). A lot of factory pipes use a pre-formed stem which is essentially ground up Ebonite that is molded into a stem shape. These stems...

I got home yesterday to find a tattered envelope with no return address. Inside was a very generous sample of Germain Rich Dark Flake and a card wishing me a merry Christmas. Since I don't know which of you miscreants to thank (or even which forum to thank you on) I decided to post a general...

It has a great flavor, but can bite. Todd

This just proves that Darwin was right... Todd

Wow!  Lots of NPR fans here.   That is really good to hear.   All of my friends roll their eyes and laugh at me when I tell them I listen to NPR. (Most of them seem to prefer Fox News... :fpalm: ) Todd

Don't let your guard down. Some Burleys bite me like a rabid dog and others are smooth and well behaved. Not all Burleys are created equal. If you are interested in trying good Burlys try Solani Aged Burley Flake. Todd

I was fortunate enough to be gifted a sample of Germain Rich Dark Flake from a generous soul in England. I can tell you that it is not the same as Stonehaven.  It is, however, just as good.   If someone offers you a sample of RDF, jump on it! Todd And Ron, no need to thank me.  That...
