JR I have never heard of Elm being used but i had a couple of sherry pipes and they smoked well. Lasted about three years. Don't see any reason why elm would...
Sup group, i was pondering the ability to smoke a variety of tobaccos, based off ones mood. I prefer Macbarens vanilla cream in the mornings, it goes with my...
I am about coming to the same conclusion, after smoking off and on for 55 years. I've been sampling Cornell and Diehl, both their own blends and some of their...
Anyone know where I can buy 4oz. at a time of these Cornell & Diehl blends: Cornell & Diehl â€" Bayou Nights #063 60%perique/40%latakia Cornell & Diehl...
Two places that I know: JRCigar and Cornell and Diehl themselves (punch'em up). I think the C&Ds are two ounces and eight ounces, and I think the JR stuff is...
Having said that I "sample", here's how I handle the packages. I've a neat enough looking shoe box, with no lid; the two ounce packs neatly sit upright in...
I usually have around 10-15 different blends open at any one time. I have one or two of each genre, burley, virginia, virginia/perique, latakia. If two of...
Yesterday I went to the basement to get some bread from the freezer and heard a jar of 27 month old Virginia Spice calling for help...so I helped it upstairs....
I bought aa pound four or five months ago but heard it begging to be smoked so I opened a half pint. White crystals already. Reminds me of FVF when I smell...
Hello, Howard, JR here, in smoky and hot Montague, six miles east of Yreka, in VERY northern California. Where on the hot Oregon coast are you? I couldn't...
When I retired we moved from Bakersfield, CA to about 15 miles east of Astoria. It's a virginia flake with oriental in it, no latakia. I got my first pipes...
Howard, I lied in Bakersfield a year, 1977, I think it was. Worked for the Navy at the Petroleum Reserve, lived on New Stine. Moved back to the Bay area, on...
My Mother was born there as was I and my two Sons but am glad to be gone. Much too hot and the air quality is dismal. It was close to the Sierra tho, both...
JR a friend of mine got one of those kits and he made a great pipe that he gave me for christmas about 6 years ago. it is a great pipe and with lots of wood...
Hullo, all! Does the diameter of the tobacco chamber make any difference in how hot the pipe burns. I know that the grain of the tobacco is involved, how...
Yes diameter does influence the smoking of a pipe. The larger the diameter the slower the air velocity is through the tobacco. This should result in a cooler...
Thank you, Howard, for the helpful information; this pipe should be a cooler smoke. I've been told by Craig @ Cornell & Diehl that I smoke too fast. He's...
I thought about it a bit more while smoking a bowl in the hot tub. We all have our natural puffing pace, volume V in time T, and keep it regardless of the...
Well I think the mathematics work because 1+1=2. However my friend Alan and I smoke very small pipes at times and we just adjusted to the size of the bowl and...
A while back I opened some five year old Mcclellands 2010 and was a bit disappointed. Well last night I opened a jar of 2015 I had sealed up at the same time....

Nite Cap has been described by some as "way too strong". I'm asking you experienced folk, what's in it, why might it be thought strong? The sellers describe...
It's considered full bodied because of the heavy ratio of Latakia and the beyond normal, big pinch of perique. I don't find it too strong. It wasn't designed...
That's an apt description of Dunhill Nightcap, which is a favorite of mine too. Definitely not an all-day, everyday smoke, but a satisfying one in the Full...
