To quote Groucho:................. Aw, you all know what he said. :laugh: :laugh:

Just tried it and it worked just fine for me. Even the link to Altadis is still functioning. Give it another shot!

Had 2 pipes arrive from eBay this weekend, a Grabow Viscount with a nice small bowl that will be good for flakes, and a no-name bulldog. Oh, 2.99 for both. Both were pretty hammered, like they'd been someone's yard pipes before they got to me. Set aside the Grabow, scrubbed off the bowl and...

There should be a tint of green to this post, as I've lusted after one of those for some time now. Let us know how it smokes. Bob

I don't think it's entirely the steam from too moist tobacco that causes "bite". Some Virginia blends are notorious for this, and dont' change until they've 'aged' for awhile. The packing sequence is good advice. Once packed, the pipe should draw as though you were sipping a drink through a...

Another online catalog (albeit from Europe) is the .pdf fromDan Pipes in Germany. Actually, the prices aren't bad considering the exchange rate, and there's a selection of pipe tobaccos that aren't readily available in the US.

True enough. I think it was the luck of the draw as to what assortment you received. My guess is there's guys just pulling pouches off the shelf randomly until they get the right number. My sampler was about evenly divided between aromatics and non, with only a few 'flavored' blends. BTW, some...

Many of those blends are too damp out of the pouch to smoke properly. In addition, many flavored/aromatics have PG added as a humectant to keep them moist. You can improve the smoking quality by taking out a bowlful and giving it 10 sec. in the microwave. But, if it's been treated with PG, this...

What Wascal said!! Lots of cherry, vanilla other flavored or aromatics. Still, 3 lbs. of free tobacco is nothing to sneeze at. (Or maybe it will be; Cherry Cordial!?!?) Here's a chance to go out and buy a cob or two. Then you don't risk contaminating one of your nice briars with a topping you...

Also try the website for ASP (alt.smokers.pipes) here. The newsgroup I mentioned is also a great source of information and discussion. And for another perspective (from a master blender) try this. Have fun exploring! There's at least as much variety out there for pipesters as there is for cigar...

Can you make her sit up? :thumbs:

Me too.... :(

Not a big fan of carved meers, but that one's nicely done. Hope it smokes as cool as it looks! :)

USPS sez the package was delivered on Saturday in St. Louis, MO. You suppose Larry hasn't woken up from New Year's Eve yet? :)

Don't know what a "Pronto" is, but Partagas Black Labels are as close as anything comes for a 'go to' smoke for me. (Along with Fuente sungrowns and RyJ Reserva Maduro.) If it's anything like the other black labels, you're in for a treat! :)

OK, on its way tomorrow. DC to follow. Nice pass, my friend, happy to have been a part of it. :thumbs: DC# 01038555749581569528
