Hello Travis,

Thank you mate. The pipe is my pride and joy. I'm glad you like it. When a first had Nico he run into the corner of my fish tank. He just shook his head and off he went again. Later he ate two of the fish when i was cleaning tank!!! Take care of yourself.

Cheers, Tim

Hey maybe I could throw a little coffee in my pipe with my tobacco. That should get me going!! I am very interested in trying this flake. It sounds about my style. I have been looking for an aromatic that still tastes like tobacco. Will look it up. Thanks for the video.

Best Wishes,

Shaggy

Tim, love that pipe! Also, like the way you found a good jar for the tobacco. I do the same thing when I can. Why spend when you don't have to...... I live in the Chicago, Illinois area of the USA. We get PLENTY of snow here every year. Sometimes, we get so much that it becomes a bore and a chore!

Best Wishes,

Guillermo

1. I love than long, slim stem. Very elegant pipe you're smoking.

2. I take it that you are referring to those long German regimental pipes with cherrywood stems and porcelain bowls. I have one (it was a gift) and the bowl can get AWFULLY HOT—like a teapot! I assume the long stem is meant to cool the smoke down.

Liebaert & Maya have some marvelous illustrations of such pipes in their book, The Illustrated History of the Pipe.

McChrystals is excellently bracing IF you care for highly mentholated snuff.

Hello Tim, another smashing video. Tomato juice, ketchup has the ability to adsorb any strong smelling compound. I have been told that when a dog has been sprayed by a skunk (sulphur mercaptans) that the odor can be removed with a tomato bath. all the best, chris

Not as yet mate. I'll see if i can get some.

Talking of things Highland, have you tried McChrystals Highland Ice snuff? I've wondered what that was like for some time now.

Hi Tim,

I thinnk that it will take a while until I get my first "Highland Sliced". Yesterday I talked to my uncle (he lives in Canton/Georgia) who is going to come and see me on thursday (02/12/2009). He told me that he got a can of "Captain Black" tobacco (US-Mixture) for me. I just had a look for this can and found out that it is a 12 oz can! That's a lot of pretty good tobacco...! :-))

But I will put your video to my favorites. So, I won't forget your recommendation.

Cheers mate,

Lars
