    Sous Vide Adventure

    I'm about to dive into uncharted culinary waters, (pun intended). It's supposed to be all the rage in my neck of the woods. Boiled food?? We shall see.

    Meer Conundrum

    I am having such a difficult time debating as to whether or not I should smoke this Altinok, or just continue to admire it. It is truly a work of art. What are your thoughts?

    Imperial vs. Metric Conundrum

    Tried to convey my wishes for a commission Black Morta. I reside in the US and we still abide within the Imperial system. I thought I used Google well enough to translate my antiquated measurements into an understood measure. The pipe is a beauty but is too large to fit comfortably in my hand...

    Burley Bite

    Let me start by stating that I do not believe I have experienced true tongue bite. That said, I broke in my new Black Morta this evening with some aged Burley Solani, and I believe I came close to bite. My tongue feels a bit hairy, is that bite? What tobacco bites you the worse?

    Slighted Tobacco

    I have been reading discussions on this forum regarding a wide variety of tobacco blends but have found very little (at least of late) discussions regarding one particular blender. That blender would be Peter Heinrichs. I would presume this would be due to the scarcity of this tobacco? I...

    Watch City Rouxgaroux Hard Find?

    I've been reading how forum members are enjoying Watch City Rouxgaroux. I search their website and come up empty. Is this another hard-to-find blend?

    South for the Mouth

    Who enjoys a bowl of bacci after a well-cooked southern meal?? Nothing better than my pot of greens, cornbread and of course...fried chicken. I am interested to know what your take is on a good southern meal.

    Apology to Forum Members

    I wish to offer my heartfelt and sincere apology to each forum member that I pissed off the other night with a couple stupid rants. Alcohol is not my friend. I lost two wives and countless friends due to this. I have been welcomed on this forum and enjoy the friendly banter and infinite...

    Does anyone really read them? I get bored after two paragraphs. Anyone else feel the same?

    Falcon Pipes...I Don't Get It

    What is up with Falcon pipes? These border on the Hookah concept which the subject is banned on this forum. Why are these even discussed here? Let the hate begin.

    Solani 656 Aged Burley Flake: Myth or Legend?

    GL Pease states that Burley is still Burley. Since it has essentially no sugar in it, there's nothing to ferment. Sure, the flavours meld and mellow, but the stuff really doesn't change character much. G.L. Pease, 1998-07-09 (revised 2003-12-23). My question therefore is this; Is this simply a...

    Granger Storage

    I broke with my normal mold of tobaccos I smoke, as well as the article I smoke them in. I did it, I ordered a tin of Granger and a cob to which to smoke this in. Not that I am completely into stereotypes, but felt the cob was fitting. I did not want to taint a briar if I found that Granger...

    Is It Just Me?? EMP Discussion

    Until today, I have not had the thought of smoking a pipe first thing in the morning. I felt the calling today. I had purchased a couple tins of Peterson's Early Morning Pipe a while back and thought this morning would be a great day to try it out. I packed my new, unsmoked Castello 1982...

    About to Blow??

    Is the bulge with this 2016 tin a bad sign? Should I take any mitigation measures, or leave as is? Was not planning on smoking this any time soon.

    Aging in Tins (Cardboard Question)

    I was visiting some older threads regarding tobacco aging and came across some discussions regarding cardboard tins with foil linings. Mentioned was how these are not suitable for long term storage. This made me visit my cellar (box in the coat closet) and check my stash. I am unclear what is...
