Today Is A Sad Day For Me
Aw, really? I live in the Netherlands as well, and was just about to place an order from the US :( Would you mind sharing the exact wording of the letter you receive (in private, if you prefer)? I'm curious. But I think my plans of restocking on GL Pease are delayed :(- echie

Pipe and Tobacco Shops In Amsterdam?
It's rather difficult to find Germain blends in Amsterdam (I've certainly never seen it, either on physical shops or on Dutch web ones).

Just Finished My Second Pipe
These are truly gorgeous! The second one even more so (though, for my taste, I preferred it with the more asymmetrical bowl it had at first). Beautiful work, I hope you start selling them one day - I'll be in line :)- echie

Calling All Brits (Tea Time)
Yorkshire Gold. I'm on my 5th cup of the day, so far :) Edit: and, by the way, *how* you make it is much more important than the brand or variety.

The blessing and curse of Bohemian Scandal
I ended up finding a couple of tins on Mars Cigars, so at least some of my craving is addressed. I'll have to ration them, but that's life. I'll bring it out on special occasions :)- echie

Tobacco in England
I'll second (or third, or nth) Germain's Rich Dark Flake. I brought some with me when I moved to the US, and regret not having brought more.- echie

Thoughts For A Friend And Fellow Pipe Smoker
I'm very sorry to hear about your friend. I hope he finds the help he needs, and I know he's getting all the support you can provide. I've dealt with depression, and, as many others have mentioned here, it's scary - both for who's suffering from it, and for those who love them. All the best to...- echie

The blessing and curse of Bohemian Scandal
I'm not sure, but I love it as well. If we're lucky enough, Greg Pease will drop by and tell us where the tin art comes from :)- echie

The blessing and curse of Bohemian Scandal
n8: ah, that might be! I just checked my facts, and in fact I bought it in June 2015. I'm glad to know it was yours. And let me know if you want to part with the one you're holding ;) tarheel: very true. Though it's better to have loved and lost, right? :)- echie
