    Fantastic idea!

    A cool piece of tobacco (and family) history

    This is my great-grandfather’s 1930 permit for curing tobacco which he did on his farm in Simsbury, CT. I spent a lot of time on this property in the ‘70s and ‘80s and the curing barn was still standing at that time. The Hartford County Mutual Fire Insurance Company is still in operation today...

    Tobacco Hutch Reclamation Project

    Thank you! The JKU is a 2010 that I bought new. It has 150k on it and has been a fantastic vehicle!

    Tobacco Hutch Reclamation Project

    Just finished refurbishing a bureau my Dad made over 60 years ago. I now have all my smoking accessories in one spot. Lighters, cutters, punches, ashtrays, humidors, pipes and tobacco, etc., it’s finally all together. The first pic shows what it looked like two weeks ago and then pics of the...

    Latest Pipe Purchases - Pipes, Tobacco and Accessories 2023

    I have four cigar ashtrays but none of them could double as a pipe ashtray. Also replaced the original mortise and tenon connector. I picked these up at an antique shop for holding tobacco.

    After a pretty crummy bidding experience with one vendor on eBay I picked up a Rusticated Bulldog from another vendor. It arrives tomorrow!

    Humi-Care EH Plus Humidifier Purchased

    It’s been about 3 months and the unit has kept the humidity right where I want it. I have a sensor hooked to an app and today I noticed that it had jumped two degrees which was odd. When I checked it I found that the foam was full of mold. I only filled it twice since December and each time I...

    New to Pipes - Meerschaum Restoration Project

    It's been a really fun journey so far. The custom blends from my local shop have been great and the Stokkebye 52 Proper is growing on me. My packs still need work. I'm getting 20-30 minutes with one or two relights, but I still feel like they are too loose. I guess I just have to keep...

    Happy birthday Ralph !

    Thank you all. Greatly appreciate the sentiment. Apologies for the late response, but we’ve been dealing with family health issues. Peace my friends.

    New to Pipes - Meerschaum Restoration Project

    So I got through six of the 10 pipes yesterday. The stems were pretty filthy, but they were in perfect condition. No teeth marks, very little oxidation. Not a lot of cake buildup in the bowls either. I do need to pick up some of the plastic threaded inserts as a few were broken. There was one...

    New to Pipes - Meerschaum Restoration Project

    I recently helped a good friend recondition his Dad's old desktop humidor and while we were sitting around I mentioned that I wanted to try smoking a pipe. He said that he inherited his Dad's collection of Meerschaum pipes and took a couple of pictures when he got home. Not sure of brands or...

    What a bummer!

    I received my replacement lighter over the weekend. This one is a brand new Quad 4 and not my old lighter that was repaired. It took about 30 days to get it from the time they received my return.

    Cigar picks/pokers?

    Was it here that I recently found out about Cigar Dagger? Too late for Christmas presents, but I'm going to ask the Warden for one for my birthday in February.

    What a bummer!

    Yeah, when I attempted to register my V-cutter online a few months ago I found that you don't have to register products any more. If you had an old account with Xikar, it's gone, along with the previous registration system that Xikar had. I had the confirmation email from four years ago, but I...

    What a bummer!

    Xikar still stands by their warranty. My four year-old Xikar Quad Flame didn't hold fuel when I refilled it the other night. I filled out the simple claim form on their website and was immediately sent an RMA. I do have to ship it back on my own dime which will most likely be more expensive...
