    Chicago 2024: Who's going?

    I'll be there starting Wednesday and staying until Monday. It's always a highlight of the year for me.

    One Light Pipe

    I think the only time you really need to worry about not relighting is if you're in a slow-smoking contest. Outside of that, who cares?

    Tinbids Experiences?

    I sold several tins of Esoterica and got more money for them than I would have been comfortable asking for on here. The transactions went off without a hitch (including one that was an international sale). Tinbids makes the shipping aspect of selling very, very easy since they provide the...

    Pipe Tobacco Scammers

    Social media apps are full of scammers trying to profit off of fake tobacco sales. They like to steal photos of other people's tobacco tins and pass them off as their own. If someone doesn't include something like a handwritten note showing today's date in the photograph with the tobacco, I...

    Record Dow Jones Over 37,000

    It's none of my business, but when I hear things like this it makes me wonder what your plans on for retirement (if you plan to retire)? Based on your user name, I might infer you are a fireman and if so you likely have a pension. If you have a pension, you've likely contributed to the markets...

    Night Owls

    I'm not proud of my sleeping habits. I typically have to force myself to go to bed at 1:00 and then I lay there frustrated that I'm not asleep until 2:00 or later. And then I'm up at 7:30 so I can start drinking a pot of coffee before my work day starts. By evening time, I can barely keep my...

    Tell me about Drucquer&Sons

    In that case, I would recommend First Amendment for your morning/afternoon smokes. I don't smoke English blends very often anymore, but First Amendment is one that I continue to enjoy.

    Show off Your Smoking Rooms!

    This is my home office/man cave/smoking room. I use a couple exhaust fans and a Rabbit Air to keep the air fresh and I use a mini-split A/C unit for temperature control.

    Basic Blends for a Good Cellar.

    I'm going to come off looking like a jerk for saying this, but I'd caution people against posting pictures of their favorite tobaccos in their cellar. Pictures of large lots of tobacco tins often get copied and later posted on Facebook by scammers looking to sell that lot.

    Favorite Christmas Song

    She has a nice voice and Yo-Yo Ma is obviously a genius.

    Favorite Christmas Song

    I'm probably too moody and fickle to have a single favorite Christmas song but this one reminds me of attending Christmas Eve services and it puts me in a certain contemplative Christmasy frame of mind.

    Changey Mind

    I agree with this sentiment. Comparing the perceived hype back then to the hype of today is an unfair way to judge it. If people weren't as vocal back then it could be for any number of reasons and most of those reasons would have nothing to do with the tobacco not being highly favored. And...

    Christmas Song Elimination

    The most shocking part of this thread is just how many people still listen to a radio instead of exactly what they want when they want. No one has Spotify accounts here?

    Changey Mind

    I will pay you ok-ish prices for any unopened McClelland Virginias you have.
