    Watch City

    Since it was being discussed in the What are You Smoking thread and I'm not sure that i have ever tried Macedonia Prilep, I ordered some Simply VOriental from Watch City. And since I'm not a mad man who only orders one tobacco at a time I also picked up some Cap'n Boomers. 2oz of each and they...

    If probably forget my head if...

    ...it wasn't attached. Drove up to Ohio, from North Carolina last night (to be able to vote tomorrow). Had everything all packed and ready, loaded the car and took off. Got about two hours into the drive and went to pack another pipe and, well damn, I forgot my travel pipe case at home. Had 5...

    Sun Bear

    I thought I missed out on this year's Sun Bear release. Went to check the local shop and, well, didn't see it on the pipe tobacco shelf. Was about to ask the tobacconist behind the counter and BAM two tins sitting there. Asked if they were for sale and yes they were.

    Early Christmas

    I noticed that the Peterson Christmas pipe were released earlier this month so decided to grab one. Went with the 03 rusticated. Although after just getting a new merchant service and now this one...I am completely out of rack space.

    New Merchant service

    For some reason I thought to just look at their page the other day and saw this in their outlet store. Full bent Merchant Service, I got one of their standard pipes a little while ago and love it, I'm sure this one will be just as good. Will probably give it a first smoke tomorrow.

    Just when I think I'm out...

    ... they pull me back in. Just got back from what I planned to be my last deployment and planned on submitting my retirement packet. Well the army had different plans and thought it a good idea for a promotion. Sooo with the promotion comes another three years of service. I'll hit 20 years this...

    Coffee roasting

    So I have been roasting my own coffee for about 10 years in a small one pound roaster. Well I feel like it is coming to the end of its life, so the wife gave me permission to upgrade. We are also looking into starting to sell coffee as a supplement when I retire in the next year or so (oh so...

    Merchant Service

    Well they managed to stay in stock long enough for me to budget for it. After so long I was finally able to snag myself a MS standard. I have trying to get my hands on one of these for some time now. I love it and will take it for its maiden voyage tomorrow maybe.

    New (to me) Tinsky

    Ordered from Natch, have always wanted a Tinsky and when I saw the price that Natch was selling one for I had to jump on it. Also grabbed a tin of Black Parrott. He also included some extras to get the price up to his required 100 bucks.

    How my timing always works

    I have been waiting for Merchant Service pipe to be back in stock for a LONG time now. I got the email saying they are in stock and of course I don't have the spare cash to throw at a pipe. Not sure long they will be in stock but hopefully another couple weeks.

    First carving

    A while ago I got a pre-drilled morta block and finally got around to finishing it. Morta is a HARD wood, I started with a razor knife but that was not working so well lol. Finished most of it with a dremel and some sandpaper. Came it pretty OK and not very even. But all in all not bad for a...

    New blend

    Ordered 2 bags of 2oz Yazoo Witch Halloween blend from Country Squire. Went to refill my supply is Rivendell but to my dismay it was nowhere to be found. Did they change the names? Anyway, will be trying this one in the morning. Also it came with stickers for the jar lids, such a great idea if...

    New tobacco pick ups

    Was it of town the last 3 weeks, but was able to order some tobacco while I was out. Got the ribs off C&D current release of Sunbear and 4 oz of Country Squire Birthday Bash 1970. Guess I'm a sucker for limited edition stuff that I can apparently only buy once lol.

    Peterson Christmas

    Almost missed out on the one I wanted. Usually get my Pete Christmas pipe from Smoking Pipes since it come with the free tin of Christmas tobacco. By the time I got around to it they were out of the one I wanted. Finally found it at Country Squire and it arrived today.

    Heading home

    Finally on my way home after about 6 months. Flights have been pushed and pushed and am about a month late getting home but should be making it today. Hopefully this was my last overseas trip before retirement in about 3 years, but we'll see.
