Small, Medium, Large Tins Or Bulk Preference
I only buy packaged tobacco, i.e., tobacco that has been sealed at the factory. Tins or bags, doesn't really matter, as long as they are adequate to preserve the contents.- Wet Dottle

Opening A Tin? Show Us!
GLP Westminster from 2008. Tip: if you have one of this type of tins with a plastic lid, use some tin foil to improve seal and help preserving the best qualities of the aged tobacco. Plastic alone is not enough.- Wet Dottle

Watch Out or Watch on? Pt 2.
Actually, I forgot I also have this watch: I have no idea what led me to it. Must have been drunk. I'm a minimalist guy and all I ever carry is a (minimalist) wallet and a set of keys. Don't even carry a cell phone that often...- Wet Dottle

Watch Out or Watch on? Pt 2.
I don't like jewelry, including things around my wrists, therefore I never got into watches. The only ones that I have are well worn, even beat up. The black one is a lady's watch, because I don't like large watches. And no leather or cloth bracelets for me, either.- Wet Dottle

Double Edged Razor Blades
I use all kinds of razors, but when using double edge blades I prefer the Personna blue box and the Kai. The Astra in the background are also good, but I don't use them anymore. Hated the Voskhods. Threw these two away immediately after taking this pic for the forums.- Wet Dottle

Clan tobacco 2010
Well, I smoked a lot it. Obviously, I liked it enough. However, the shag cut used to dry very quickly, at which time it would burn like gun powder. Care is advisable. I haven't smoked it in more than 20 years, therefore I can't say how it is now. But I doubt it will age well. Please let us know...- Wet Dottle

A Nachwalter Score
That is a gorgeous pipe. I always loved Elliott's designs and looked for one for many years, but without success. Unfortunately, my search only started after he quit making pipes. Hope you enjoy your new pipe/work of art.- Wet Dottle

Ennerdale Flake
All I can say is that I loved the old one and hated the new one. All I can say is that I found the flavor different for the worse. Sorry I cannot be more specific.- Wet Dottle

I think you won't regret. Let me know how far off my analysis is when you do :)- Wet Dottle

Opening A Tin? Show Us!
I had to think for a while to answer your question, @AroEnglish . I never got much from reading blend reviews and I certainly cannot write one. But here it goes: Think of the blend fresh and remove all grassy tones (not that there are much, if any, to start with in this blend). Then, increase...- Wet Dottle

Opening A Tin? Show Us!
Dunhill Navy Rolls from 2009: I counted 27 coins, but may have missed one or two. Difficult to tell without taking them all out. I just fold and stuff, and it takes 2 1/2 or 3 coins per smoke in medium sized pipes.- Wet Dottle

Ennerdale Flake
Well, Ennerdale was something special, alright. But, for my tastes, it is now a much lesser blend than it was, at least the last time I smoked it, in pre-pandemic times. I didn't know what had happened until I joined this forum and read about the changes at GH&Co. At that same time I noticed...- Wet Dottle

Arango Pipe Spray Substitute?
I don't know, the can doesn't list its composition. It is flammable. Leaves the pipes very clean with a fresh and pleasant smell.- Wet Dottle
