    The New Old Beatles Song

    Wow, that’s really cool. Such a great song too! It wasn’t until I started learning some Beatles songs on the guitar that I really began to appreciate their true talent of writing amazing tunes. I was the guy who always said they were overrated… I’m a late bloomer, what can I say. By the way, I...

    Bob’s Chocolate Flake

    I honestly, haven’t been looking. I didn’t even know they sold a plug version of it.

    Bob’s Chocolate Flake

    It’s very different in my opinion, has way more a floral/perfume essence than that of BCF. I haven’t had it in a long, long time though, so take what I’m saying with a grain of salt. I would be interested in trying a more recent production. I got mine at an online presence that didn’t store...

    New, Texan Here!

    Welcome to the forums! I haven’t been as active as I used to be but I check in from time to time. I’m also from (north) Austin. Good to see more Austinites joining.

    Morning Wake up Call

    I’ve gotten used to them living in Texas, though, if they sting you on the tip of your toe, it can hurt like a butch for a good hour. Feels like stepping on broken glass. But I do enjoy a good cuddle with a scorpion when I’m lonely.

    Warped Scarecrow 2023?

    Sounds nice but I am done, I’m seriously worried that the pipe tobacco I do have now is going to go to waste, I haven’t even made a dent in my stash. So, in short, the 3,200 tins are safe from me.

    What Retired Blends Would you Bring Back?

    Erinmore Plug Velvan Plug Anthing from Gallaher Bengal Slices 3 Nuns Balkan Sobranie Escudo I‘m sure I’ll think of more once I start reading this thread but this is all that’s coming to my tired brain at the moment. (disclaimer - I know that some of these are on the market now, but I’m talking...

    Career Change?

    Changed my career late in life. Worked as a mail carrier for way too long. Went back to school (when I was 38) and got in the tech industry, I’m a software engineer, I work in operations, so it can be stressful at times but I love solving problems, every new problem is just a puzzle waiting to...

    I really like Cordoba’s. I’ve been fighting off buying another one, I may cave soon.I’m not a dead head myself but that Alvarez is a looker!

    Let’s See your Guitars!

    Well, no need to take a picture of my Fender, that one on the last pic looks almost identical to the one I have. Good collection! I LOVE your Gibsons! That’s one guitar that I will get eventually.

    Let’s See your Guitars!

    A lot of really beautiful guitars you all have! Great thread. I just took 3 pictures of the guitars I have hanging on my walls, I have one more electric guitar tucked away, I might get it out to take a picture, it‘s an American Fender Stratocaster with a beautiful baby blue finish. I don’t jam...

    Availability In UK Tobacco Market.

    And that’s all ya need. Well, I’d be okay with just having St. Bruno, it hits the spot every time for me. I’m sure it’s getting expensive though, I haven’t looked at the US prices in awhile but I was getting the RR for $10 (USD) when I stocked up in 2016/2017. So far, Mac Baren‘s rendition ages...

    Pipe Smoking Social Meaning…If There Is One

    I can’t recall a single negative reaction from others in public. I usually get a lot of compliments which, depending on my mood, can make me kind of uncomfortable. Every now and then I get weird cheers from high school kids, and I know they aren’t cheering me on for smoking tobacco. The one that...

    What are You Watching? [2023] Please Rate 1-5

    I think that series surpassed the movie and that was great too! It’s one of the best comedies out there right now, they struck gold. Unfortunately, I don’t have Hulu anymore but I may pay for a month just so I can the new season.

    Rattray's in a Scary Story!

    How Do You Take Your Coffee?

    I’ve heard that coffee enemas are a thing. Not a thing I’m interested in but a thing nonetheless. Now tobacco enemas, that I might consider.

    Webcrawler That Searches For Tobacco Availability?

    Definitely a cool tool to have if you are working on your cellar. I’m more interested in cloning the source code from GitHub to see how they went about writhing this.
