    What Is the Single Most Special Blend, or Tin, in Your Stash?

    Well, it would have been my last tin of Raven's Wing, but I opened that a few months ago and it's half gone now. Home (Florida) for the holidays in 1997 I opened a tin of Christmas Cheer that I'd bought because of the name and maybe a favorable mention or review in P&T magazine. Come to think...

    New Guy in Connecticut

    I work in midtown Manhattan. I can remember not all that long ago (10 years? 12? This was during the last gasps of the cigar boom) I could stroll out of the office at lunchtime and make my way to Barclay Rex, Arnold's, Nat Sherman, Davidoff, Connoisseur, and De La Concha. Each place had many...

    20 Lbs, That's the Limit

    I'll play. McClelland vs. no McClelland. If it's just what's currently available, I'd do: 2# FVF 2# OGS 3# Exotique 2# Caravan 2# Kensington 2# Blackhouse 2# Magnum Opus 2# Fire Storm 2# Escudo And a pound's worth of mixed tins of Bengal Slices, Regent's Flake/Temple Bar, University...

    Moving to Tallahassee

    Culture shock is being generous. More like whiplash. Pick a favorite sweater and light jacket and put the rest of your winter things into storage. The cold season is three weeks in January and temperatures seldom dip below freezing. From April to September the weather is hot and swampy. Most...

    Secondary Storage for Tins

    Will do. Many thanks.

    Secondary Storage for Tins

    Thanks. I also use Ball jars for bulk and opened tins. What I'm looking for is some kind of airtight and maybe stackable container that will hold five or ten sealed tins. This way if one of my sealed tins springs a leak, I'll be better able to find and isolate it. As I have it now if one of...

    Secondary Storage for Tins

    In looking at photos from some of your cellars, I notice some of you are keeping your unopened tins in some kind of (plastic?) cylinder with a screw top. This strikes me as a good idea. What are those things and where do you find them? Also, what other ways do people store sealed tins other...

    Life Insurance - 2018

    Sorry, I should have said Reliastar, not Lifestar.

    Life Insurance - 2018

    ING/Lifestar will write him a policy if he smokes pipes or cigars less frequently than once per week and if his urine tests negative for nicotine during the physical.

    Exotique Pre-Order

    Not unlike Margate but with more sour/spicy oomph from the orientals.

    Exotique Pre-Order

    It's in my top 5. Hope you like it.

    Exotique Pre-Order

    PSA - if anyone was thinking about pre-ordering some Exotique there are fewer than 15 tins available to reserve.

    Anti-Smoking Court Ruling So Insane It Sounds Like a Comedy Skit

    Yeah, that's not really how it goes down. Like most things it varies state to state: https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/09/prison-labor-in-america/406177/

    Anti-Smoking Court Ruling So Insane It Sounds Like a Comedy Skit

    Don't forget all the super-cheap labor. Prisoners work for pennies an hour and they're not allowed to quit if they don't like their crappy job.

    What Books Are You Reading? (2018)

    Beowulf fans might find this interesting. I got the DVD from the library but I think it's floating around online as well. It's pretty wild. https://www.bagbybeowulf.com/ I'm reading Kill Anything That Moves by Nick Turse. It's about Vietnam.

    Old Pipe

    It reminds me of an Ulmer. Maybe there's a clue here? http://www.pijpenkabinet.nl/Pijpenkabinet/J-E%20hout%20vroeg.html

    Yeah, I have a little EMP just for auld lang syne but I don't need any more Dark Flake is the one I'd buy if I could. I bet it does become the Dunhill "el Dorado."
