    What am I Missing Here?

    To me it looks like 2 bidders ( with 100% bid activity with that seller ) driving the price up....justa guess but to me it looks like the seller might be running a scam...but i could be wrong

    Would Any of You Use This on Your Pipes?

    I've used the felt or cloth buffing wheel to buff carnuba wax with a dremmel but you have to use the lowest speed and be careful not to let the bit jump away from you...can do alot of damage to a pipe fast...I would rather do it by hand while watching tv though ;)

    Boycott List

    The problem with some boycotts is sometimes they create silent support for the companies your trying to boycott....personally I would rather have my family stay in a hotel where I don't have to worry about a dirty harry wannabee wandering the halls (i'm not suggesting that this is anyone here...

    Zippo Fumes?

    Only ever tried zippo and ronson fluid but i can taste a difference, the ronson seems to be the purist...perhaps its the plastic container it comes in?

    Hearth and Home Blends.

    Really liked the Anniversary Kake, Smoked a few bowls of Berry Nice and it gummed up my pipe stem so bad that i gave the balance of the tin to the friend who reccomended it to me...he had the same problem with the tin and ended up throwing it away.

    I love tobacco

    As an ex-cig smoker that has totally screwed my heart smoking 2 packs a day, cigs are paint thinner, cigars are wine but my pipe is an ice cold beer after a hard day at work :)

    Great News for Pipe Tobacco!

    The "we will hang together or hang alone" argument probably won't work, the majority don't smoke cigs and have a loved one that they wish would quit, sin taxes are here to stay and the best you can do is draw the distinction between cigar/pipe smoking and cigarettes....and lobby lobby lobby...
