    Dry Flakes=Better Smoke!

    I always leave flakes out to dry overnight as i find they smoker smoother, and are easier to keep lit. i am smoking some FVF as I type this. It is tasting fine this way and I have done this for years.

    Need a strong hit!!

    OK, If you want a mouth burst of flavor that is not an aromatic, try C and D DaVinci. It is super strong yet does not bite and is delicious.

    Need a strong hit!!

    FB is listed as a smoking tobacco but with the new taxes, it is now listed as a pipe tobacco. While some RYO it, it is like PA, pipe tobacco that some roll. it smokes very good in a pipe. I smoke it a lot and if you want a "N" hit, it will give you one. But it also tastes good and is an...

    Smoking now

    I bought two large tins of estate tobacco, 1979 dated Amphora Brown which I smoked for 20 years. I paid way too much for it but as I'm sitting here smoking it in an unusual pipe a Lenox in Lucite and drinking a cup of coffee, it is worth every penny! The Lenox is a lucite tube with a...

    Rookie review of Dans Blue Note

    What you say is true for a lot of them but Blue Note has a VA base and it does come through at the midway point of the smoke. I like Blue Note but for this kind of tobacco, I think MacBaron's Vanilla Creme is the best.

    PLEASE tell me what else is like Escudo?

    I very much like SG St. James Flake as well. It is almost on a par as Escudo and easier to find.

    American "Scotch" Snuff

    I regularly use this type of snuff both orally and through the nose when I can't smoke my pipe. It is an eye opener for sure, but it tastes great and gives as great nic fix. If you want to try it, Rooster is the best straight scotch snuff, and Garrett and Dental are both decent. Sweet snuffs...

    Puffers Pipes Tobacco No More

    NO, Rev Puffer hand made his own blends and John Patton does his own. They are not one and the same at 4Noggins. I know both men very well. John does have some very good blends though.

    St. Bruno's Flake

    If you open the container you will slow the aging down and let some moisture out so it will dry quicker, but it will still age.

    Pipe Cleaning Alcohol

    Well, I use Everclear very successfully but a neighbor came over the other night with some "shine" from a relative in Arkansas. He thought I would like to try it so we poured some over ice and started drinking and talking politics. I am conservative and he is a liberal so it got heated, moreso...

    Idea for Stem Cleaning :)

    Magic Pads do work and well. I discovered another good product. I have some Dremel polish I got at Lowes and ZZI was rubbing it on a really abused estate I bought this week and was going to put it to the buffing wheel. But I noticed that as I was rubbing it in, it was turning black. So I...

    What starts your morning off right?

    I like just old Garretts scotch snuff, dry and dipped. It is readily available, I like Rooster but it is hard to come by down here in Texas
