    Is Wilke Having Trouble?

    Ok , I talked to John about my order today . He said he would ship part of the order tomorrow . While he seemed to be having trouble sourcing product , apparently he is getting tobacco somewhere ..........😟

    Taking My Leave

    Absolutely !To go on a semi-tangent here , I have had many talks with a friend who is a retired prison guard . He says , most people think that all murderers are Bundy/Dahmer/Richard Speck types . Not true . Some are evil , but a lot of them simply over -reacted to extreme...

    A Little Humor for the Day 2025

    I did not know what gammon was . And I live in a state with about 10 times as many hogs as people ! :confused:

    Is Wilke Having Trouble?

    OK , I may have have gotten carried away in expressing myself , but with Sutliff disappearing , it seems logical to question the sustainability of domestic pipe tobacco retailing . I don't want my money refunded . I just want my tobacco . Wilke sells world class aromatics ! To clarify my...

    Is Wilke Having Trouble?

    Well , I'm not saying there's anything untoward here , just concerned about the delay . AND , I'm wondering if we're seeing fallout from the Sutliff debacle ............

    Is Wilke Having Trouble?

    So what is the big picture here ? I don't mean to sound like an alarmist , but are Wike, Perretti , etc circling the bowl ? I ordered $450 worth of tobacco Nov 12th & am getting nervous.......

    JMO , Wilke has some of the best aromatics around . I might as well stir things up , but if you liked EGR , I would suggest getting an aromatic sampler pack from John . My favorite is 196 .

    Is Wilke Having Trouble?

    I placed an order Nov 12th & never received an acknowledgement email . I don't mean to bad-mouth John , but every order I've placed with him has taken 3-4 weeks to be delivered . I think I'll email him today.........

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    One of the rare times my family is getting together (hopefully no fist fights😁) 13 lb turkey & a bone-in ham . Thank the Lord for His blessings !

    Cooking Bacon

    The most important thing to me is to buy bacon with the most fat . I always check the little package window . I love to fry liver & onions in bacon grease 😙 Just a whiney peripheral point , bacon doesn't seem to produce as much grease as it did when Mom would make bacon & eggs . I think...

    The "Wanted" or "Where to Buy" Pipe Thread

    I'd really like to find a 4AB Pete , preferably brown smoked or unsmoked . I realize these were a limited production from 2021 so it's unlikely to pop up on Ebay .

    Forum Numbers

    As I've only been a member for 2 1/2 yrs , I may not have a complete perspective , but I would tend to disagree with your assessment . The instances of full throttle , full page of posts in , say , 15 minutes are rare . This only happens with a hot topic (the Sutliff/STG debacle , for...
