Subject: Re: Baronite Pipes and Tobacco Questions

Hello, Steve.  

Thanks for doing all of us Digest-ers this great service.  Like
everyone else, I find myself looking forward to each issue of the
Digest that comes across my In box.

I wonder if anyone out there remembers those double-walled porcelain
pipes called Baronite? Years ago Troost offered a line of them in
their tobacco tins.  I would be interested in purchasing one (or more)
if they are still around.  If anyone has information about them, or,
better yet, a few stashed away somewhere, I would appreciate hearing.

Two tobacco questions.  Does any of our fine tobacconists on the Web
sell the Peterson tobaccos?  Again, I would be interested in a
purchase.

And, finally, there is a nice list of famous pipesmokers on the Web,
courtesy of OoOPS.  Does anyone know what tobacco some of them smoked?

In the spirit of give and take: I have found those green soft scrub
cloths from 3M not only good for washing dishes but also for cleaning
and polishing pipe bits.  I recommend using a different one from the
one the wife uses on the dishes; but when used with a little baking
soda paste or non-flavored toothpaste, I find they clean bits quickly
without marring the surface.  If you don't have a buffing wheel, might
try this.
