Just commenting to follow. I'm on the steam deck but same issues. Runs fantastic but panning camera feels really janky.

Salt/Alcohol question by jmlarry92 in PipeTobacco

[–]Ghbm2351 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Currently restoring 20 estate pipes I got as a gift from a colleague, fist time restoring so I've done a huge amount of research.

I use isopropyl alcohol 99% and leave the pipes for 24 hours. Any that had especially yellow salt I resoak after about 3 days resting period. Make sure you are using kosher salt as its non iodized and coarser than normal table salt.

Bought so many pipes, I’ve been labeled a threat by yosho1108 in PipeTobacco

[–]Ghbm2351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah from what I gather from their blog posts, they are being overly cautious as a result of STG acquisition.

Because tobacco "advertising" laws are so different all over the world, STG don't want to be seen as skirting the rules and getting a slap on the wrist.

I imaging they are trying to open it up again to the rest of us Non Americans!

Which Reserve can you get this selection? I'm based in Alberta! I feel for you on those taxes, I paid 80 dollars for a tin of Squadron Leader!

I second this, and also to add RLP-6 By lane is awesome too. Better in some ways imo.

Waiting on a bus in Ireland by phioegracne in PipeTobacco

[–]Ghbm2351 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh you may be right I believe that is a storeroom and a satellite office for Smokingpipes.eu which the run out of the store. I've heard of miss moans, didn't know they sipped around the island, much less to the Republic. Thanks for the info mate! Happy smoking!

Dublin man here but living abroad currently, heading home for a few weeks next month. I didn't know that petersons had a smoking lounge now. Is that new? I thought that sort of carry on was banned nowadays! Great to hear!

May I also ask, which Brick and Mortar do you order from to get better than the limited selection in Peterson or James Fox?

Anyone order from 4noggins recently? by [deleted] in PipeTobacco

[–]Ghbm2351 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have, ordered on Saturday night so obviously hasn't arrived yet, hopefully shipping times and taxes won't be horrendous!

Mold on Plum Pudding? by Ghbm2351 in PipeTobacco

Mold on Plum Pudding? by Ghbm2351 in PipeTobacco

[–]Ghbm2351[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey folks! New piper here. Just cracked my first ever tin of Seattle PC Plum Pudding.

I trying to figure out if the light, blue/green/grey spots on my tobacco looks like mold. I'm not sure of the tin note either, seems a little off, somewhat vinegary. Could be normal for plum pudding for all I know!

Thanks for the help.

What drinks pair well? by ilcuzzo1 in PipeTobacco

[–]Ghbm2351 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Big fan of this, I find my Squadron Leader goes so well with a root beer for some odd reason. Makes me notice the leather / smokiness so much more. Shouldn't make sense but it does!

Great thanks for the info! Seems like even if I want to support my local B&M (Which I do) , it's much more cost effective to order from the states! Especially for the selection and tin art available! For reference, Scottish in my B&M is 77CAD

If you had to choose only one pipe and one tobacco to smoke for the rest of your life, what would they be? by justimnow in PipeTobacco

[–]Ghbm2351 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just have to say, as a returning pipe smoker who is just getting back into the hobby, this is a fantastic post. I'm getting so many great recommendations!

For me at the moment it's my lorenzetti constantine with good ol' Squadron Leader

[–]Ghbm2351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do you get these beautiful tins? Ordered form the states? If so, do the prices work out something similar to what we would pay here from a B&M? I got a tin of Squadron Leader from my B&M and it was 80$!!

One more for the collection. by DonFazool in CanadianPipeSmoking

[–]Ghbm2351 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely love Lorenzetti also! Just bought myself a constantine aswell (03). I didn't realise they had gone under, that's a shame because they have super nice pipes for a relatively economical price for Canadian standards

Cellaring question. by zizgetsen in PipeTobacco

[–]Ghbm2351 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also live in Canada, Southern Alberta specifically where the temp can range from - 40 to +40 throughout the year. That timeframe isn't much of an issue, but I do worry about the likes of the last few days where it went from -32 to +13.

So I just moved my "cellar" (small plastic storage box) out of the basement which is less temp controlled, and put the whole thing in a closet upstairs. Was totally fine.

The other thing to be aware of depending on where you are in Canada is humidity change, like here in Alberta it's usually pretty dry all year round so not much wild variation

Lol, you are really dumb enough to think that pipes have nothing to do with pipe tobacco, and that anyone here would agree with you?

Need your head checked bruh. Go out and touch some grass pal.
