    Captan Black Grape Discontinued!

    It mixes well with HH Vintage Syrian.

    Old Dark Fired=Old Reliable

    I really enjoyed HH ODF after smoking it the first time, and after trying some with age knew I had to stock up. This and Vintage Syrian are the HH blends I've cellared the most.

    Peterson Dark Flake Availability?

    Does anybody have an update on if/when this is coming back to the US market?

    Pipe Tobacco Retailer In Florida

    I've seen the best selection at Pipe Den in Vero Beach, Edward's in Tampa, Bennington's in Sarasota, and Tobacco Cove in Jacksonvile. I support buying local to an extent, but prices are more than double what I pay via mail order so not feasible for cellaring.

    CAD Anyone?

    I have more cigars than ounces of pipe tobacco, though in all fairness I've only cellared a few hundred pounds since picking up pipe smoking in '18.

    You Have Over 50 Pipes?!

    I tried this approach and barely made it out alive. No more tobacco or pipe purchases for me for a very, very long time... and lucky I don't have to downsize by a thousand (or more) tins.

    Do You Have A Favourite Quick Meal?

    I make my tomato sandwiches on sourdough with salt, pepper, sometimes a whisper of garlic powder, mayo, and balsamic vinegar. Yum.

    Chicago Pipe Show 2020 Plans

    I love Bern's, and especially enjoyed going when they used to allow smoking in the dessert room.

    Is The Esoterica Bubble Ending Because of China?

    ... Unless you live in a state with an 85% excise tax on pipe tobacco and the closest retailer that carries even Orlik golden slice is a few hours away. IMHO Penzance is good but there are better blends out there. However if anybody has extra Stonehaven or Peacehaven (or RDF) bags I'd love to...

    4th Generation Family Reserve Dry As A Bone In The Desert

    If you read my post I outline 4 things, see if you can tell what really bothers me. 1) It took several calls and finally heard back from a supervisor (hours spent on phone with reps and on hold). 2) Open tins are my responsibility since it is my (the customer's) fault that I received defective...

    4th Generation Family Reserve Dry As A Bone In The Desert

    After several calls I finally heard back from a supervisor. The two open tins that are bone dry (missing one bowl each) are my loss as they don't accept returns or give credit for open tins, so was pretty much told to go pound dirt. The remaining 10 tins I can send back in exchange for 5 tins...
