    What do you look for in a pipe?

    Don't judge me man.

    Synjeco Group Buy Spring 2015 - SG Plugs, Schürch

    Tobacco from Switzerland garners a bit closer inspection by US Customs because a good majority of the Cuban cigars that make their way to the states do so by way of Switzerland. But to answer your question, no, as long as you ordered something that is legal to ship and legal to own, they have to...

    Inquiry: Anyone interested in DUNHILL or GH&Co for $3/oz+s/h

    Got mine on Tuesday actually. Should have ordered more BB#2, almost gone already :cry: Thanks again brother. Definitely keep me in mind if this happens again.

    Edgeworth RR Returns with a New Name.

    Any idea if they are going to be selling it in pouches, or just the tubs?

    Inquiry: Anyone interested in DUNHILL or GH&Co for $3/oz+s/h

    I'd jump on Boson too (in addition to ~2oz BB#2 and ~4 oz of BCF if those happen.) 4oz would be ideal, but I'm flexible depending on how the number shake out.

    How many things are you reading at a time?

    Now with the kindle and the various kindle apps, I usually only read a single book, but I used to always have two or three. One in my briefcase for the train, one next to the bed, and one next to the couch (in case I was too lazy to go upstairs and get the one next to the bed). Now I keep my...

    Inquiry: Anyone interested in DUNHILL or GH&Co for $3/oz+s/h

    If this is still going on, I would grab 4oz of Bob's Chocolate and 2oz of BB#2.

    where do you buy tobacco and suggestions for first purchase

    Smokeingpipes.com and 4Noggins.com for 90% of what I buy. Marscigars.com is also very good, but being in PA I get nailed with sales tax. Paylesspipes.com is good for hard to find stuff (they were always able to get me FVF back when it was scarce.) JR Cigars for Rattray tins.

    Sweet dessert type aromatics

    C&D Autumn Evening tops my list of Aros. McClelland's Holiday Spirit is also very good.

    "dumb"? pipe question

    There's no excuse for not fitting the stem properly when taking photos to advertise the pipe for sale, but I often store my pipes that way. Often a bent pipe can't make it into the rack unless you spin the stem around.

    The Tax man cometh......

    Second kid and no more 1099 work meant a big check for us this year. I understand that I shouldn't be happy to get a refund because that meant I let Uncle Sam hang onto more money than I should have, but still, that check is pretty nice to get. Just happened to my buddy. Someone in FL tried to...

    Masters degree injury

    I once read that there is a direct correlation between final exams and an increase in cheek acne because of amount of time students sit hunched over text books propping their heads up with one hand, usually on their cheek or forehead. Education seems to be rather bad for your health.

    I Cancelled Our Cable TV Service Today!

    We did pretty much the same thing about six months ago. We dropped our cable subscription, but kept local channels ($12/ month), which enables us to also get HBO and HBO Go. Though, now that HBO Now is in the picture I can probably kill off all TV altogether. We also get by with Netflix, Hulu...

    HELP!!!!Broken Tenon

    I find that pretty shocking. The last pipe I sent to Floyd came back in less than a week. And this was not particularly long ago.

    What are you smokin'?

    Finally finished replacing the thermostat in my car (a project that spanned two weekends, but absolutely should not have) so I dug out an old Anejo 46 to celebrate.

    talk to me about tonquin.

    I forget which, but something I really like has tonquin in it. Maybe G&H Louisiana Flake? Whatever it is, I like it. Only way to find out for sure is to try it.

    A little word of warning

    This man speaks the truth, on both points. Upon reaching retirement age Jewish parents are required by law to spend six months out of the year in FL. So we usually bring the kid (now kids) to visit Grandma and Grandpa (and Mickey) once or twice a year. I am always surprised by that first hit...

    And the reason for my absence of late:

    Thanks fellas, back to sleepless nights and naps under my desk. All good things.
