Very neat!!. Thanks PipePuffer.

Whiderwarde, I do exactly the same thing you do with your cleaner after each smoke. But I think you would have to use a reamer after a few months anyway. Actually the building of the cake is the hardest part of learning to smoke pipes. At least that was for me. I really started to enjoy smoking...

Pipedirector, I will appreciate your feedback on the pipe you ordered. I have just one Stanwell I bought at ebay and I was very satisfied with the quality and looks of it.

It was sold for $162.50!!! I am curious, did anyone of the brothers bid on this ones? Was the price high or fair? I would appreciate your opinions on this one.

I have kept my tobacco in bail-top jars for 8 years now and I have not any bad experience. On the contrary, the tobacco has aged very well and has kept the humidity and aroma.

Rattray Old Gowrie... I was planning to buy a few ounces of that. Let me know if you like it or not. I have tried Rattray s Accountant s Mixture and Marlin Flake and they are very good. About keeping tins in your cellar, my experience is not very positive. If you keep tins for some years, they...

Puros, more power to you friend. Cigar appreciation is very subjective. I have bought some Rocky Patel and I am looking forward to try them. But really, I am skeptical that they can come close to the satisfaction habanos provide me. I think for me the key factor for habanos to be really...

I love this site. You can always get a good laugh. :)

I would load big size pipes only with flakes. Having say that, flakes used to be my preferred cut but now I am really finding pressed tobacco to be the most satifying.

Thank you Duke. Great information !!! :cheers:

Was she trying to scare you away from cigars? :D

I am really curious about your finds. Can you post some pictures?

For me, I wouldnt dare to smoke at less than 50 F. Well, maybe I am spoiled rotten with the wheather at my city that is 65 to 75 all year long. ;)

Martin, I would definitly go with Dunhill too. Maybe Aperitif or Night Cap.

I have not more than 10 pounds of pipe tobacco. My cigar collection on the other hand is quite considerable, I have something in the rank of 500 premium cigars, mostly habanos. But, now I am smoking much more pipe tobacco and less cigars. I believe aging is not so important for pipe tobacco as...

Congratulations. There are so many stores that dont have as much as half of your inventory . Come to think of, now I know why there is much shortage of high quality pipe tobacco. :cry:

I never considered it to clean my pipes using any special liquids. I had used only alcohol, but I am considering to use rum. Rum is sweet and has a high percentage of alcohol.

Harlock, I just tried the steamed tobaco and it was much better. It had some elegant elements added to the flavor (my main fear was that the flavor somehow would be gone) and what it is more important the bite tongue characteristic was really diminished. What I would next is to increase from 30...

I have kept in my cellar for many years some McClelland tobacco that it burned my tongue everything I tried to smoke it. Aging the tobacco it did not help to solve the tongue bitting problem this tobacco was giving me. So faced with the alternative of throwing away two pounds of a precious and...

Trout Bum, hope you can make it to Ecuador in the future. If you do, I will show you the best places for trout fishing down here. :P
