Epilogue: the wax worked perfectly. I have a 1940s era Kaywoodie Canadian that was turning my fingers red with stain from the wood. A couple coats of this stuff sealed the deal. Literally.

I have that and I like it a lot. Two things to note if you've not used it before. First, let it harden for at least 15 minutes before buffing. I usually give it an hour or so - long enough so that when I return it has a hazy look to it. Secondly, don't use it on a rusticated or sandblasted pipe. The wax gets into the pits and it's really hard to get out. I would suggest getting the halcyon wax for those pipes.

If you do use the Paragon wax on a non-smooth surface, just know it's going to take some extra time (and some small detail buffing) to buff it.

Other than that, I really like it. I still prefer carnuba wax on my stems but the paragon is harder than carnuba and has a higher heat tolerance - good for the bowls

I have only used Carnuba wax but I have found a heat gun can be a life saver when waxing rusticated pipes. After buffing I hit the bowl with a heat gun and hand buff with a soft cloth. Works great!

And the money shot, all from 2002, no shake omg

Two orders(my first one had to be reshipped because German customs sent it back to the HU factory) from HU Tobacco.













Freebie pipe cleaners

Just picked up two more 63 quart storage bins for my tins, and four 6.76oz Sistema Klip It containers for open tobacco from The Container Store. Tin of Dockworker on top for size reference.

Bejeebus Kelvin that's a haul......

Looking at this thread on a slow work day makes me think there is some shopping in my future.

A few of the blends that came in the last two weeks... no way I'm taking pics of three boxes' worth of tobacco. LOL
