    Your favorite Peterson pipe and pics

    Woah, beautiful grain on the 68! That is exceptional for any manufacturer, let alone for a Pete. Also, never have seen a cumberland bit on a Pete, now I want one. Most all my Pete favorites are 80s and 999 with a few exceptions here and there. Now I have to find my camera.

    New Cook County Tobacco Tax

    That is incredible. I'm originally from Oklahoma. I've had to move around for job and family reasons, and before I moved from there, the tobacco taxes were just normal taxes. Matter of fact, I was getting cartons of cigs there for less than $14.00 in 2001 and I'm sure it's way over that now, but...

    Finally, got the pic to work. This isn't my favorite Pete, but it's the one that got me back enjoying straight pipes again.

    New Cook County Tobacco Tax

    Good Lord, they plan to raise it again another 60 cents an ounce next year. I slowed down getting things from Iwan Ries just because of the high general sales tax. Now I feel bad I won't be buying anything at all from them because of the extortion taxes. Doesn't the Gov realize he just killed...

    Chicago Tribune Article On A Favorable Judicial Ruling

    Thanks for posting that, I was hoping that mandate would fail. It's funny that the article mentions that our "Fearless Leader" was a marijuana user.

    New Cook County Tobacco Tax

    I have been trying here and there to cellar a bit, but this is total insanity with Illinois.

    New Cook County Tobacco Tax

    Greetings all. It's been a while since I was here. Just wanted to mention that Cook County, (the Chicago area), just slammed us with a 30 cent an ounce loose tobacco tax as of March 1st. That also includes all cigars of any type. The B&Ms are not only frustrated but totally in the dark as how to...

    Vintage Pipe Tobacco Tin Problems

    Greetings all, I have survived! Just jumping on here before leaving for work and giving an update to the tins. I popped the suspect virginia tin yesterday (Saturday) and it looked and smelled wonderful. I was hoping for sugar chrystals but nothing to the eye ... at first. I shook it around and...

    Vintage Pipe Tobacco Tin Problems

    Sorry to disappear for a minute. I had to pop the dinged tin of latakia. It has a most delicious aroma, not over powering like a new can, and still quite moist. I had to light it up. I don't know if the mildness was designed for the custom blend or if its the age, or both. Whatever it is, I want...

    Vintage Pipe Tobacco Tin Problems

    Also, Thank you for the welcome! I hope to be able to contribute one way or another to the discussions, even only to put a smile on someone's face. My work schedule is terrible, but I will make time to come here as much as possible. It looks to be a friendly place. Thanks again everyone.

    Vintage Pipe Tobacco Tin Problems

    Thanks so much for a speedy reply! None are opened yet, and I must apologise to all, I did a closer inspection and found that the bodies of the tins are also metal. I just got them today and jumped to conclusions. One of the latakia tins was pretty well dinged all around so I peeled the label...

    Vintage Pipe Tobacco Tin Problems

    Greetings all, my first post, or question rather. I just recently acquired a few tins of an old McClelland custom blend, made especially for Buchanan's Tobacco Shop in 1999, which I believe is now no longer around. I got 3 tins of a virginia blend and 3 tins of a latakia blend. 2 tins out of the...
