    Smokers Haven of the Southtowns - Buffalo, NY Area

    Hello. I’m hoping to stop by Smokers Haven of the Southtowns near Buffalo NY tomorrow. Is there anything that they would have that shouldn’t be missed? Thanks!

    Heading to Watch City Cigar Tomorroe

    Hopefully I’ll be able to hit WCC tomorrow. Haven’t been there before but have ordered several times online. Anything that I should be looking for in-person? I will most likely pick up some of the Watch City Slices replacement to try but the reality is that ordering online makes more sense for...

    Queensbury Cigar and Pipes - No Longer Cup Of Joes

    Had the chance to visit Queensbury Cigar and Pipes recently. Hadn’t been there in a long time. I had known that Cup of Joes was bought by Sutliff and this had long been the B&M location. In the past it was well stocked with pipes and tobacco and I was looking forward to seeing the selection...

    Western NY Tobacco Shops

    Heading out to the Zippo flagship store/museum this week. Wondering if anyone knows of decent pipe/tobacco shops on Western NY? Passing through/near Elmira, Binghamton, Corning, etc..

    Nordés Gin

    All I can say is WOW! Completely different from anything else I’ve tasted and quite delicious. From Galicia, Spain. Has anyone else given this one a go?

    GH&Co Aromatic vs Scented

    Anyone know if these 2 varieties are the same? There seem to be so many variations, some actual and some only in name, that it's hard to keep track at times. Examples: Brown Flake Scented or Aromatic. My thought is that what was previously "scented", is now "aromatic". Thoughts?

    “Location, Location, Location”, or “It’s How You Tell The Story”

    I had a pipe for sale on the forum from a well-known maker, in very good condition for a blow-out price - $25. I had several inquiries about this $25 pipe, each of which led to drawn-out investigations of various odd specifications beyond the basics, which I diligently followed up on to make the...

    Shout-out To Meerschaum Market

    I’ve been loving my IMP meerschaum and decided I would like to get another. I was looking for one with an open draw and it was said that IMP is drilled to 4mm. Great! My current IMP definitely draws well. I looked around at the various dealers and decided to try Meerschaum Market. They had a...

    C&D The Old Ones Series

    Been really enjoying Dreams of Kadath and am wondering what your impressions of the other Old Ones series blends are. Reviews are all over the map and many of the blends have some similarities in ingredients.

    Post Format Options iOS Safari Greyed Out

    Greetings all, I mostly interact with the forum on my iPhone using Safari. I’m not sure when this change happened but the formatting options such as bold, italic, link, insert picture, etc., are greyed out and most of them are inactive. I am trying it in Chrome now and it seems to work fine...

    Paint Can Tins

    I know many decry the security of paint can tins but I have had good success with them (so far). This one Comiy’s Cask No. 4 is a prime example. Had it out on my back porch for a few years. Clearly had gotten rained and snowed upon and was stowed in a random box of stuff. Came upon it recently...

    Grams vs Ounces

    It’s not something I usually pay particular attention to in terms of value but it occurs to me that the difference between the 2 in the standard sizes they are sold, is not negligible. While some tins/pouches are sold in other nominal sizes such as 40g, 1.5 oz, etc, the vast majority are sold...

    Dark Flake: Dunhill...Peterson?

    I have yet to see Peterson Dark flake issued but TobaccoReviews has it under Peterson and not Dunhill. Have I missed something? Also, wondering what thoughts are on this blend. I smoked a tin but don’t remember anything about it.

    Edward G Robinson Plastic Tub Long-term Storage

    Anyone know how EGR does in the plastic tubs for long term? Wondering if I would need to repackage it if I pick some up.
