    New Bill Seeks to Dramatically Increase Federal Taxes on Tobacco Products

    I can’t believe tax parity and a mail order ban didn’t happen years ago. I’ve been saying this for years, 99% of “pipe tobacco” sold is RYO cigarette tobacco relabeled to avoid taxes. Did anyone think Big Tobacco was going to let this happen? :geek:

    If You Use Humidity Beads

    I switched over to Bovida packs a few years ago to avoid this. :geek:

    Smoking may disappear within a generation, analysts predict

    I’ve been saying this for years! IMO Your employer and your insurance provider will determine your lifestyle choices more and more. Think very carefully about the screening questions they ask you when you’re sitting in the doctors office. :geek:

    The 2021 Chicagoland International Pipe and Tobacciana Show CANCELED!

    Hopefully everything will workout! I booked a room and am planning on attending Thursday through Sunday. Getting vaccinated in time was a concern when I booked the room but just yesterday one county in AZ lowered the Covid-19 vaccine age yesterday to 55 and over so we’re driving two hours to get...

    Confessions of a clincher

    I’m an armchair only pipe smoker who was pretty much a clencher until I broke my tooth. It took about a month to get a permanent crown and I sort of got out of the clenching habit. The new crown has a different feel than my old tooth but it holds the pipe pretty well but it still isn’t a natural...

    ER Tomorrow Morning

    Wishing You All The Best fo a Full Recovery! I hate those dreaded Tri and Quad level houses. I get the concept but they are a pain in the *** and now that they've gone out of style they're a hard sell.

    R.I.P. Larry King

    I enjoyed Larry on the radio and on TV! I liked his style very much and I missed him when his time ended on CNN. RIP

    The Elusive Character of Balkan Sobranie

    +100%! This is what I’ve always thought. Another rumor that I believe is that Sobranie House never transferred to Gallagher was a secret herbal tea like blend that was steeped in the water they used to steam awake the raw tobacco early in the process. Who knows. 🤓

    keep track of tobacco prices?

    I built most of my cellar of PSBS ounce by ounce over the years at my shop but I mail ordered a couple of 5 pound bags from Mars 2009 and I seem to remember it was around $1.60 an ounce. I sort of remember it was less than half of what I was paying at my shop. I’m smoking some of the vintage...

    What are your Pipe and Tobacco plans for 2021

    I never know what’s around the next corner Castello/Dunhill wise but I’ll stay picky so I have the money when the right piece appears. I hope the vaccine takes and we can get back to pipe shows again ASAP. I hope to add a smooth piece to match this large Carmette billiard carved by my buddy Adam...

    Why Is Membership Small and Participation So Light?

    I can get more from rereading a 30 year old Ephemeris than I get from the pipe boards but I still come back and enjoy scanning them all daily! I really enjoy some of the specialized Facebook pipe groups. You get collectors from all over the world who you can geek out with. I spend a lot of time...

    This Poker thing is getting out of hand.

    Great Looking Collection! Mike was a buddy and club brother and I miss him. We were just reminiscing him last week at our zoom pipe club meeting. RIP

    Why Many Car Dealers Have Bad Reputations

    Can't blame them for trying. A lot of people don't want a car after the warrenty expires. We've found Subaru dealers to be by far the best car buying/trading experience we ever had. :geek:

    Family connections with Kansas City

    I love KC, we pass though it 4 to 6 times a year on my way to and from AZ. I time it so we get there for lunch or dinner. Just had a great lunch at Arthur Bryant’s BBQ a couple of weeks ago. KC is a great pipe town with an active pipe club and in normal times I attend the GKCPC Pipe Show every...
