Great work so far. Keep it up. And I just missed that stout pot. Ha, kidding. I don't like taking pipes for free. I look forward to seeing your advances.

I've got one meer that was my dad's he got at the outset of WWII, another I got in '73. Neither one ever built a cake, as I wiped them out right after smoking.

Advise I have heard older smokers tell new smokers. Don't think that just one time is going to give you an inkling of what a blend will taste like. Even now, at having a pretty good taster, I need to...

I've had lots of Petersons, the only decent one, and the only one I still have, is a full-bent non-system. By sheer luck it passes a pipecleaner smoothly, and smokes like a dream. Love the orange-twist...

Big caveat-I have not smoked 1792. I am a huge fan of Sam's flake which is has tonquin and comes overly wet. I've found 10 seconds in the microwave does diminish the tonquin a good bit.

It is too bad that there isn't a non-flavored equivalent to some of these Lakelands. The cigar-ish flavors of 1792 is delicious, but I can't stand that tonkin bean either. I've heard many say that it...

To me 1792 is a very bitter taste, like an IPA almost. If you don't like it at all fresh I don't see how you'd like it aged, the only 1792 I've tried was 5 years old and when I found the right pipe it...

Hello tobacco experts, a pretty simple question for you. Does the tonquin flavour of 1792 Flake diminish over time if stored?No.Okay, to be fair, I'm sure the tonquin flavor degrades somewhat over...
