    Jim's C&D Steamworks Small Batch 2024 Review.

    Lots of pipe tobacco is steamed. None of mine from last year molded, it all became ash.... as with many makers, ymmv. It's worth a two tin purchase. 1 for now and 1 for the cellar. I'm picking up a few this afternoon.

    Eight State Burley Question

    Eight State Burley Question

    You didn't answer my question and I didn't ask if you trusted anyone. Well I have reached back out to them to ask for clarity. I didn't intentionally mislead anyone. I could have gotten what I was told mixed up. The result of this is below. They do use a 'small amount' of PG. I didn't ask how...

    Eight State Burley Question

    The ambiguousness of this could be interpreted as I work for the company or am a liar, or both. Or were you thanking me?

    C&D’s Palmetto Balkan

    I got this year and popped the 22. I smoked it all weekend. It's going to enjoy some fresh air and I will continue to enjoy it as it ages open. Glad I got some!
