    Sam Gawith Bulk Will Be Back Soon>>>

    I should add that 1 e-tailer has just indicated his distributor has told him he won't be getting anymore til end of May. So, that may also be true for the other 2 e-tailers I've bought from. earl

    Sam Gawith Bulk Will Be Back Soon>>>

    P & C typically seemed the highest on the net for SG. That's why I always bought that elsewhere. Unfortunately, all the elsewheres still seem to be out of stock. earl

    SG FVF

    Yeah, while I've often smoked FVF, when I'm in the mood for a Virginia flake which is a bit sweeter and less stout than FVF, I turn to Best Brown. earl

    Managing the Rotation

    Though I'm not particularly compulsive in general, I do follow a rotation whereby I smoke certain pipes certain days. I smoke 3-4 pipes per day. My personal idea of pipe collecting is that if I'm not going to smoke a pipe regularly I probably don't need it and my own idea of regular is at least...

    How many pipes do you smoke a day/week?

    12 bowls and up per day. :D earl

    Burly

    Actually, in my experience, tobaccos like CH & PA tend to be bite-free unlike many other non-OTC burleys. earl

    Smokin in the cold

    Outdoors? You mean where it's windy and hot in the summer and windy and cold in the winter. Nah, only smoke where there's no breeze, always 70 degrees or so, in my recliner...as in indoors. :P earl

    Carter Hall in a handmade Nording. earl

    Burly

    Yeah, it's good. In fact, if I had to stick with 1 baccy, it would be Carter Hall. Never actually tried Walnut. Now that I've overcome some residual snobbery about OTC's, I'd consider trying it but don't like the tiniest particle of latakia in my tobaccos. earl

    Decided to join up - from Houston

    Welcome Doc. You seem to share a love of Petersons with me. Always get a chuckle everytime I hear of those southern states closing school when they get 1 inch of snow. :D earl

    Burly

    Frankly, have become a convet to OTC's since discovering smokes lke PA & CH a few months ago. Going to try SWR soon. In 3 decades of smoking primarily non-OTC's have yet to find burly that smoked smoother and more bite-free than PA or CH. earl

    What are you smoking?

    Prince Albert in a Peterson deluxe 20s. earl

    What are you smoking?

    PS Cube Cut in a Peterson Birr Castle. Doubt I'd order anymore of it despite smoking it for some time. Tastes and/or body chemistry have changed such that now it tends to bite a bit more than it used to do. In fact, the aforementioned have changed to the point that there is less enjoyment now...

    Granger Rough Cut

    Never tried Granger and only very recently tried Carter Hall and PA despite my 30 years of pipe smoking. Most of that time spent smoking only non-OTC tobaccos. Much to my surprise, discovered I liked CH & PA as well or better than most non-OTC's I've tried or been using. Only tried about 8 C&D...

    Might not be new to all of you

    Welcome. It is nice to have a forum like this where one can feel as free to converse as when one is at home with the buds. earl

    My new found interest in VaPers

    If you're like me-that is having a low tolerance for perique, (like it OK but makes you literally a tad sick), then, perhaps, like me, you'll discover Stokkeby's Luxury Navy Flake to your liking. The only blend with perique I've found thusfar I can tolerate as it has only a little of it to go...

    Uh oh...

    Hey, Irene, my son lives in Norman, (and works for the Severe Storms Prediction Center), but his wife is from Ada. I live a tad northwest of ya in central Kansas. But, LL, we Kansans & Oklahomans most certainly get snow just not in the prodigious amounts you Northern Plainsers do.
