Cloning A Stem?
I have several meerschaum pipes from the same carver. Three of the pipes have stems in which the tenons are identical. And one of those stems is perfect for me. And because the tenons match, I find myself using the one "perfect for me" stem for 3 different pipes. So I'm wondering if it would...- yanoJL

Pretty Sneaky Savinelli
As a University of Florida alum, I just had to have a pipe from the Savinelli Alligator line. I went with the 626, ordered last week from P&C. Well, it arrived today. The website said 6mm. The Box says 6mm. But inside... a 9mm pipe. I didn't even know Savinelli drilled 9mm pipes. Not a big... -

Question RE: MB 7 Seas (Regular)
I added a tin of MB 7 seas (regular) to my last online order. The tin has arrived, and its tin date is well over 2 years ago. I already have a chocolate aromatic open (Boswell's Piper's Pleasure) so I wasn't planning on cracking this tin right away. Is this an aromatic I can keep/cellar for a...- yanoJL

Erik Stokkebye - 4th Generation 1931
I have never posted a tobacco review before. But I just finished a tin of Erik Stokkebye's 1931 Flake and I felt compelled to sing its song. TLDR; This is a delicious, burley-forward blend of quality tobacco. The tin note is gentle and not room-filling. The fragrant notes of “nutty” and...- yanoJL

The Last Third of the Bowl
Sometimes I see comments about changes to a tobacco's flavor during the last third of the bowl. By the time I progress that far through a smoke, my sense of taste seems to diminish and the smoke becomes less flavorful. This is surely a me issue, not the tobacco. I feel like I have a good...- yanoJL

A Question About "Nose Bite"
As a new hobbyist, I have recently been exploring different tobacco types and blends. This is really a lot of fun; all the new smells and flavors. I have 6 open (jarred) blends in my current rotation, and about a dozen tins in the cellar/queue waiting their turn. I think I am doing a pretty good...- yanoJL

A Question (or Two) About A New Pipe
I'm quite excited. I just ordered my first Meerschaum pipe from Altınay pipes. Just a simple, smooth billiard. But I'm happy just thinking about it. I understand that I will have to apply beeswax to the pipe as part of its maintenance. My question is... when? Shall I order the beeswax now and...- yanoJL

Chasing an Experience, Am I Just New?
I'm about a month into this new hobby. I started with a basket briar and a few house blends from a local B&M. I enjoyed it enough right from the start, so I made a few more purchases online. I bought a Savinelli, a Peterson system, and a few tins of tobacco, including Peterson's Nightcap. When...- yanoJL
