    Sutliff Private Stock aro's

    Agreed. As far as aros go, Sutliff is pretty hard to beat. I have tried numerous aromatics and I have not yet found anything that rivals Sutliff for quality and flavor regardless of price.

    Sutliff Private Stock aro's

    Molto Dolce is the best aromatic I've had so far. I taste/smell mostly caramel and honey.

    Sutliff Private Stock aro's

    My two favorite Sutliff aromatics are Molto Dolce and St. George's. The latter has a sweet black cherry aroma.

    Coachella

    I had an awesome weekend at the Coachella Music Festival this weekend! Everybody was super cool, the audience had great energy, and the weather was perfect. All in all I spent an exhausting 35 hours enjoying the festival and even then it was impossible to see every great band. I was the only...

    $2800 Zippo - School me

    This is an example of why I have always enjoyed "Antiques Roadshow". It's fascinating to see the variety of items that people collect and to learn what makes some items valuable: rarity, condition, construction, history, etc.

    HOW PROMPT DO YOU PAY WHEN YOU WIN?

    I always pay instantly if I'm watching or as soon as I get notification from Ebay. I have sold a few things and have never had a problem with buyers paying in a timely fashion. Overall I find that most people are generally honest and try to do the right thing. I have only really had one...

    Add my voice to chorus of praise for Rande! The pipe I purchased from him arrived today. The transaction was smooth, communication was great, and the pipe I received was even more beautiful than I had expected.

    Savinelli "Private label"?

    I know what you mean about paying higher prices at B&M vs. online. I always worry a bit about whether I'm getting ripped off when I can't compare prices online. That's why I wanted to track this pipe down online. I find it interesting that I have had this experience a few times already where...

    Savinelli "Private label"?

    I see. Thanks for your help. The pipe I saw looks pretty nice and seemed to be decent value for the money. I could not find the same pipe online so it got me wondering about it. I don't mind shopping online but I like to support my local B&M whenever possible so I will probably pull the trigger...

    Savinelli "Private label"?

    I was browsing the pipe counter at my local B&M and I came across a Savinelli that had the shop's name engraved on the bottom. It had tan rusticated finish and the stem was brow and translucent. I inquired about the pipe and the clerk said it was a "pipe of the year" and shops could get them...
