Regardless of when the FDA fist comes down I am sure you are right about the hoarding aspect, just because there’s so much uncertainty. With retailers putting limits on how much can be bought per day tells me there’s a lot of panic buying going on. Didn’t realize how good we had it a decade ago...

There’s been so much I’ve seen involving the FDA regs that are upcoming but wasn’t the cutoff date pushed back to August 2021 for post-2007 blends? Feel free to correct me I can’t keep track of it all.

I’ve always liked the Le Nuvole blasts and apple shaped pipes, especially the “fallen prince.” This is not a fallen prince but a darn nice apple shape and had to jump on it when I came across it at Briar Blues, seems like these Le Nuvoles don’t come around much. It’s the lowest grade blast (S1)...

Managed to get ahold of a few tins of Solani Silver Flake so I decided to have a bowl in a Tinsky squat bulldog while transferring it from the “tin” to jars to rest for a while, good stuff!

I have a blasted norsedog, seems to be very well designed. The chamber is actually drilled at a slight angle to keep the walls as thick as possible where the pipe gets the most narrow. I don’t believe it would be an issue unless you smoke pretty hot. Smoking it normally it does feel warm at the...

Nice spread, looks like a great place to relax

What a great and generous gift!

14 degrees and I had to run my snowblower this morning, be a while before it’s time to cut grass here

Some 9 year old Old Joe Krantz in a Nørding freehand. Would think it was an aromatic if I didn’t know better, nice and fruity

Stonehenge Flake in a GBD New Standard bulldog

Great photos! Love the tree with the fog. I’ve been doing photography since high school, 35mm, 120, digital. For the past few years I’ve been shooting almost exclusively with a 4x5 view camera and am actually expecting an 8x10 to arrive this week from a builder in the Czech Republic.

Thanks for the compliments everyone, indeed that third pipe was a stellar find

I thought I'd share my collection of Nordings This first one was actually the first "good" briar I ever purchased (the first briar being a Dr. Grabow "Duke"), back in 2005 at a B&M in Moorhead, MN (which has since been turned into a car wash, no kidding, you can now have your car washed where...

In the Distance by Hernan Diaz, a bit of a different take on the American West than most novels exploring the west

Anyone read Kent Nerburn's amazing trilogy of Neither Wolf nor Dog, The Wolf at Twilight, and The Girl who Sang to the Buffalo? Neither Wolf nor Dog was first published in 1994 with The Girl being published in 2013. I stumbled on Neither Wolf nor Dog at a small town museum in South Dakota about...

Couldn't agree more, I have two of her collections of short stories, Fine Just the Way It Is and Bad Dirt, not a bad story in either one. Wyoming is as much a character in her stories as the people are. "The Wamsutter Wolf" in Bad Dirt is one of my favorites.

I got into snus a few years ago for no smoking situations. I've had a bunch of different brands from Sweden but by far my favorite has been Skruf Xtra Strong. They aren't lying when they say extra strong, I wouldn't put one in on an empty stomach! I'm not great at explaining taste notes, but a...

Thanks everyone for the welcome back! Corncobcon, glad you like my photo, I took it almost 10 years ago in Wisconsin, turned out good for a grab shot. daveinlax, small world, my great-grandparents also came off the boat and came by train to ND to homestead in the same area, though on the north...

Well aged Dunbar in a well aged Denmark-era Ben Wade freehand

Greetings everyone! I joined this forum back in 2007 when I was in the process of learning about pipes and the wonderful members got me off to a great start. I was really into the hobby at the time, had a nice collection of pipes, and started cellaring a stash of tobacco. Then around 2010 I just...
