    I'm going to grab a tin of that the next time I place an order. Your posts have tickled my curiosity!

    When I bought my first $2.49 cob, I picked up some Lane BLWB. It has a bit of caramel vanilla aromatic topping. The nuttiness is there, but covered up.
    Solani Aged Burley Flake Blend 656 is deeper rich walnut (?) flavored. No sugary sweetness of the Lane. Another to look for if you like that nuttiness - Wessex Burley Slice. It's brighter like a fresh cracked walnut.

    Of late I am hooked on Latakia and a big corn cob pipe. Mostly smoke cigars but I like a good pipe often. I also live in South Louisiana so Perique is on the menu also. Anyone else into these? I will apologize up front if this had already been discussed. I have been away for some time.

    Occasionally straight up, daily at about 1 to 4; Perique / Carter Hall.

    I do sometimes smoke it straight. Right now I have a blend from Cornell and Diehl called Bayou nights.

    Yesterday afternoon's pipe after getting back from a business trip to San Diego. I managed to visit Old Town San Diego which had a tobacco/pipe/cigar shop with a display of antique pipes. It included some beautifully colored 100+ year old meerschaums.

    One of my all-time favorite blends has both! Dunhill Nite Cap, my #1 English, has a healthy dose of Perique that really sets off the Latakia. And if you like cobs, I really can't recommend the Missouri Meerschaum Country Gentlemen enough! It's my favorite cob.

    I have a Savinelli that the stem is getting all discolored. What is a good way to clean this up?

    Thank you, and it's a great smoking machine, no matter what I put in it nothing but ash.

    Personally, I like my Zippo lighters. I might prefer butane lighters, but they can be temperamental and potentially short-lived in my experience, and quality of butane can vary. I might also prefer matches, but unless I let them burn for a couple of seconds, I get an off taste from the match head, and since I smoke primarily outdoors, they are very susceptible to wind. A Zippo is virtually wind-proof, and work well for a long time requiring only an occasional flint change, plus they have a life time warranty. I used to use naphtha fluid in my Zippo, which I felt had no more odor than Ronsonol or the older Zippo fluids. I counted to 3 or 4 before putting flame to the tobacco, which substantially reduced odor and off taste. Recently, I've gone back to Zippo brand fluid, and I now feel it really is superior with less odor and little if any off taste after a 3 or 4 count after light-up.

    Well, I'm going to have to look into those. Looks interesting, but I've never seen them in the Birmingham area. Are they made in Mexico? Since you're in Texas, they may be easier to get there.

    Yes, they're made in Mexico. I ran across them at an HEB store, which is the only place I've seen them.
