EuroTAD at the Danish Pipe Shop!

I wish Russ O. could import the Poul Olsen stuff,

it's STG now ain't it?
The MOB series has a lot of interesting sounding stuff!
Arno has a good post featuring his own custom MOB blend,

I once ordered a pipe from DPS and got a weird phone call from FedEx asking me if I had indeed ordered a pipe from Denmark, I said yes, and he asked what kind of pipe is it? and I said "...it's a handcrafted artisan-made briar root wood tobacco smoking pipe, sir."

The whole conversation was strange and oddly unsettled me.

You are implanting viral ideas into my susceptible little brain!
What better a time to try some of those MOB's I've been itching to taste,

now that the $ to € rate is so much better!
I was disappointed a little when I had to remove 2 tins of MOB from my cart when I got the pipe, it bumped up the shipping cost too much for me, first I dropped just one, but it was still above my budget, so both had to be 86'd :crying: --- so now I might as well get down to jammytown and groove on over to DPS for some piber tobak!!!!
MOB has a great cast of characters,

especially the Capstan Full replica...

I have smoked MOB 111 Flake and it's a pretty damn good VaPer,

I had bought 2 full sealed tins from Pipestud,

they used to actually distribute a few of them over here and 111 was one of those,

I think my tins were roughly circa 2008.
Roth liked the damn stuff so much that I ended up gifting him the other tin I had yet to open,

after reading his highly enthused review (regarding a sample I had sent him), it was my pleasure to pass it along...

If you haven't tried the #111, and you're a Va/Per Fan, this flake is, IMO, at the very top of what a Va/Per should be.
No holds barred. there's no better Va/Per than this #111.
I am almost out of the Paul Olsen My Own Blend No. 111 sample. No, there is nothing else like it. No, you can't buy #111 here in the USA.
Maybe it's the Dark Fired Kentucky? Maybe it's the top notch, and just the right amount of the genuine Saint James Perique? One thing for sure -- the Virginias are just terrific and OMG, the blender worked magic on this one, thanks Paul -- you're a hand blending genius!
As I smoke this, cheap as I am, I'm actually thinking of getting a few 100 gram tins of this from across the pond.
Expensive? Sure. But y'all who think Escudo is the cat's ass, likely haven't smoked Paul Olsen My Own Blend #111 Flake.

I've used Danish Pipe shop and was very satisfied.

I once ordered a pipe from DPS and got a weird phone call from FedEx asking me if I had indeed ordered a pipe from Denmark, I said yes, and he asked what kind of pipe is it? and I said "...it's a handcrafted artisan-made briar root wood tobacco smoking pipe, sir."

Americans often confuse Denmark for The Netherlands. Perhaps they thought it was a pipe for something a bit more, mind expanding :roll:

now that the $ to € rate is so much better!

That's a heck of a list, Dan; and that pipe looks similar in shape to the Gabrieli B&M POY I just got. Enjoy your bounty.

Ehrrr.. Cheers! :mrgreen:

I always have them fill out the packing slip as birkas, Korans or Migrant Workers.

Never had a problem with US Customs that way.

MOB 111 is great!
