    Over 90% of the sellers on TinBid are majority from China 😳😡

    A good cigar and whiskey solve most problems.

    HEEEEEELLLPPPPP

    Ok guys I sure as hell hope I didn’t do a major newbie fück up. Please tell me everything is going to be okay.

    I took eight of my stems and soaked them in oxiclean for about six hours. These three came out dulled and one losing color. All three of them were shiny!!!??? Can these be fixed with some Decatur products???🙏🏼

    Also, the ones that didn’t come out damaged, fit tighter in the stummels???

    A lot of the dullness could actually be residue from the oxi clean. I’m guessing it won’t be too hard to get the shine back. Mainly because they’re not shiny when they make them until they put them through the process to make them that way.

    Magic eraser or a buffing wheel with some compound will bring the shine back

    You could also try to shine them up with toothpaste or soft scrub.

    I think you might be ok. I'm betting that along with the oxidation the oxyclean took off whatever wax may have been on there from buffing when manufactured. I like relaxing to Southland Piper videos. Fella never has shiny stems after cleaning and before buffing.

    Edit for spelling and fat fingers.

    I think some of this stuff and a microfiber cloth should fix you up just fine. I've used toothpaste, but not soft scrub. As far as the stummel fit, dry microfiber cloth and be careful not to get it too loose.

    At least, this is what I would do. Hope it works out.

    Soooooo, I took y’all’s advice and everything turned out okay 👍🏼. However, the blue one is now fairly loose regarding connection to the pipe?????

    The wood should start clenching the tenon tighter after being warmed up by smoking the pipe.

    B&M prices in little towns = exorbitant prices….ave Maria Excalibur $35/stick… La aroma $25/stick Buena vista $20/stick etc etc. I don’t mind paying B&M prices but this is ridiculous. Go **** yourself buddy

    My sympathy, @OutdoorsSmoke_21191 How much of that is state and local taxes, just curious.

  • CheapSmokeCheapSmoke Posts: 223 ✭✭✭

    In Massachusetts tobacco is taxed 25% plus 6% sales tax…worth the drive to New Hampshire ..no tax

    Here in our large town we have one liquor store that has a tiny humidor and the best priced stick is a Hemingway signature at $13. As much as I like to shop local I just can’t do it.

  • ShawnOLShawnOL Posts: 10,309 ✭✭✭✭✭

    $35 for an aj stick? They can shove it up there nice and deep.

    According to the internet, so it must be correct,

    Massachusetts: The state levies a 10.75 percent excise tax on cannabis sales that is paid by consumers and remitted by retailers. Local governments are also allowed to levy up to a 3 percent tax on the retail price. Legal sales began in November 2018.

    Far cheaper to smoke weed than tobacco..

    Let's keep this about tobacco.

    I myself think it’s a great point. Our genius lawmakers have demonized tobacco yet they legalize marijuana. I think it’s very noteworthy that the tax rates on the two are so vastly different. They obviously would rather you smoke marijuana than tobacco.
