    Made an interesting discovery last night. Pulled a gifted cigar (Omar Ortez toro 6" x 54) from my humi last night. Been there over a month, thought I might as well give it a try. Cigar looked great, dark oily wrapper, small veins, smelled good too. Did a straight cut and found the draw to be...

    I am looking to purchase a Newair 28 bottle wine cooler and want to know do I have to plug the condensation drain hole and install fans for the cooler to work properly as a wineador? Reason I ask is ultimately I probably will do those things right away and as of right now I have a small 8...

    So.. i cut up the plug after a few tries that ended in the tobacco not lighting well or anything.. but ive decided after trying AGAIN that it's not me.. it's the tobacco. Ive tried drying it out for different periods of time as well as straight from the tin when i originally opened it. I tried...

    I just love this plug. It tastes like a good cigar leaf and sweet hayish virginias with some lakeland essences. Strong, smooth smoky stuff. But I have this strange problem with this one, it tickles my throat and nostrils. I feel like i have this really fine sand or dust in my mouth, and i need...

    What do all of these tobaccos have in common? Answer: I blended them. I had some left overs and some samples, and I can't waste tobacco letting it dry out in a Ziploc, so they were rubbed out and blended in a single 4oz Ball jar. I was prepared for a lackluster, muddled result, but magic...

    Description From smokingpipes.com: In the tin Or baggie in this case…I know the Lakelands have a history of being called "soapy" and the tin note on this is a bit on the "soapy" side. I can't pick much else out of it. My wife smelled it and said the same. It is quite moist and could...

    I had my first foray with the plug this Super bowl morning. It has been open for a couple weeks now as I received it as a sample from forum member Natedog. I do have about 4 tins stashed away that I wish to age however. I began by slicing the plug into smaller "Penzance" size slices and folding...

    - to the next three people who post pictures of their Puff 2011 Altinok Meerschaum in this thread. If you've already posted pictures, thanks, but I'm attempting to draw people out of the woodwork. At least a dozen members must have received theirs by now, but we've yet to see them! To the...

    I'm going to pile on with the JKP by GLP. (I just like to type capital letters.) We begin by opening the tin to find a beautiful plug and a few slices. The plug is a little lighter than a brownie and has a blend of wonderful browns. The tin aroma is very earthy and what I expect to smell...

    Well, I have now had a chance to try GL Pease's Jack Knife Plug thanks to a generous sample sent to me by Owaindav (Thanks Dave!.) Here are my initial impressions based on my first two bowls. The tobacco itself is a beautiful presentation. The sample I received was a small block in...

    Title says it all. I was surfing for a new pipe and went over on a whim to see about Dunhill (of course still out) and then G.L. Pease when I see that JackKnife Plug is back in stock. Good luck... I really want to try this out and hope it works Linky thingy G. L. Pease JackKnife Plug 2oz...

    The Briar & Leaf Chronicles » Blog Archive » Secrets Revealed I don't check his site often, but I hadn't seen this mentioned here. Man, I'm excited for this. If it holds up to the tin description, this will wow me. I dig prepping my own baccy, and I love the strong stuff. It's supposed to...

    Good Evening, There is a 1-lb plug of SG 'Grousemoor' on its way to Papa. This will be my first foray into plugs. I have a plan on how to "deal with it," but was wondering if anyone on the forum has any wisdom to share regarding plug preparation in general, or specifically for 'Grousemoor.'...

    I am looking at getting some Peterson Perfect Plug and am thinking about using a vegetable mandolin or even a vegetable peeler to cut the plug. The Mandolin especially has insanely sharp blades and would allow nice even cuts. One other thought I had was a draw knife, used in wood working with...

    LOL Couldn't help myself with the title. All the good things I'd read about this baccy mixed with the high level of awesomeness in presentation and meditative intense preparation, I couldn't help but pick this up! The pipe guy at my B&M hadn't heard of it, so he ordered 3 tins. He loved it...

    All these years of enjoying pipe tobacco and I`ve yet to try some plug tobacco. I smoke mainly Va and Va/per blends with a Burley blend now and again for a nice change of pace. Flakes are my choice of cut. I guess I`ve strayed away from them for their reputation of strength. Can anyone...

    Put in an order with pipesandcigars.com and short bit ago. I ordered a Savinelli Duca Carlo pipe and McClelland Holiday Spirit 2008 tobacco. Both orders were received in a timely fashion, and they even threw in 2oz of free Cherry Cavendish tobacco! Great service.
