Corn cob P-Lip
 |
| Turned an adapter to fit a P-Lip stem. Corn cob pipes vary in size so the tenon is slightly tapered like a military mount. |

Tobacco review Samuel Gawith - RB Plug
 |

 |
 Dark fired Tanzania leaf This tobacco has been aged for 10 years. With out a doubt it is the epiphany of lakeland tobacco. Floral and intense. I was smoking a bowl on my veranda this afternoon when my wife Andrea came home and asked if i had a cheap hooker visit today. My son Lachlan said it smelt like burning musk sticks. Some extreme comments on the room note i must say. And yes it is full on but smoking it is like no other tobacco as it is so unique. The plugs are hard but easy to slice with my flake cutter. Lots of work to break up the moisture level is good and ready to smoke. Loaded my London made Barling. A little hard to get going but burns well to a white ash. There is a ton of flavor there and the floral taste is predominant at first but gives way to a sweet aged Virginia . Nicotine level is 3 out of 5 so it has less kick than cop plug [1792]. I don't think i will be buying or needing more as its a sometimes tobacco. And 8oz [226.80g] will last a very long time indeed. I think i will put 2 of the plugs in a jar to age some more. |
