    A neat King

    I held that pipe in person after Nate finished it. Love Nate's stuff. Enjoy!

    Tobacco Apocalypse Date change possible

    The two articles above are fairly misleading. https://cigar-coop.com/2017/07/cigar-news-fda-extends-market-approval-date-for-premium-cigars-and-pipe-tobacco-to-august-8-2021.html The FDA is still shooting for the original date; however, they have decided to postpone enforcing said legislation...

    How long can you age tobacco?

    I've had stuff that was 40 years old; it was mostly Virginia, and it was fantastic. I've had latakia-heavy blends that date 20 years or so as well, and they were awesome as well. To be honest, I've yet to try an aged blend I didn't like, but that's just my experience. I purchase a lot of my...

    Interestin' Yello-Bole

    Not a bad looking pipe for the price. When all is said and done, I bet it could be had for ~$50 too.

    For a second I thought you were talking about me.

    Favorite Blend Released in the Last Few Years?

    Gaslight Six Pence Temple Bar Take your pick, though Gaslight is absurdly good.

    When does FDA ban go into effect?

    August 2018 is when applications for blends that came after the decided date are due, but from my understanding those that apply will have a year grace period. Nevertheless, there was an article posted a couple of months back that detailed how the bill was kind of being postponed. I've yet to...

    Tobaccocellar.com users?

    I'm on there as well, but I'm afraid I can't help you with your question. The only thing I use it for is to post new tins and take away tins I've smoked.

    P&C Situation Rectified

    Yeah, they sent me $50 and several 20% off coupons. I used the $50 coupon to get some Germain. It was a nice gesture, but I'm still done with them. I have buddies that still haven't received their order.

    Haddo's Delight

    I know that after around 8 years Latakia becomes a shell of itself, but I am unsure if Perique is affected the same way. When I said "over the hump," I meant that I suspect somewhere between 6-10 years is when the blend begins to decline, at least for me. I'm not saying the tin I had was bad at...

    Haddo's Delight

    I've actually found Haddo's at 6 years to be the best, honestly. At 10 years aged, at least for me, it loses a lot. It's still good at that point, but it's over the hump for me.

    GL Pease Tobaccos Affected by the FDA Regs

    Disappearing. There's no way Greg could afford to keep all of those blends. We're talking millions of dollars just for the paperwork.

    Donegal Pete, then and now

    Not so bad.

    Donegal Pete, then and now

    I typically don't like any Petes. The only new ones I like are their Antique series, and that is because the shapes are old as hell. Their rustication has always been bonkers to me. I'm of the opinion that no pipe manufacturer should rusticate anything. Sandblast it or leave it. To each his/her...

    WOW, that was rough!

    I get the same type of migraine from time to time. It's no picnic. I'm currently dealing with a two-week old headache that I caught from something or someone here in Kenya. I can function mostly, but goodness is it annoying.

    P & C Shipping

    The newest package that has been shipped weighs 3 lbs, who knows what it is, but it has been delayed because of the winter storm in the Northeast.

    P & C Shipping

    Who knows what they shipped me. I won't know until early April.

    P & C Shipping

    That was my assumption, except the first package was 5 lbs. I ordered 3 lbs of stuff. Unless they stuffed 2 lbs of those airbags, I am not sure how that could be. I guess we'll see. The other shipment cannot be found yet anyway.
