Latakia in the News
This is the truth, but it isn't "the point." Interventionists are looking for pretexts to intervene in Syria and influence the trajectory of it's unstable political environment after the departure of Assad. It's a fragile time for Syria. If it ends up a client state of the West, it's likely to...- greeneyes

A Most Curious Blend: Gawith’s “Jamaican Flake”
I have a jarred box of this stuff from 2010 which is damn near perfect. I find the current iteration fairly flat.- greeneyes

Do You Know this eBay Seller?
I've bought from him a few times. He's a book seller in Israel if I'm not mistaken. Has lots of good pipes. His handle was Uniquom Hebraicom. I'd recommend.- greeneyes

US Pipe Tobacco Companies ?
Apparently Tobaccopipes and CupOJoes both closed their doors pursuant to this ... "change." Anyone know what happened to the Tobaccopipes previous owners (names escape me) that had been kept on after being purchased by Sutliff?

Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes
I believe this one was restored by Al (who I think is ssjones)? It's a lovely pipe and I confess I'd have bid after it if I weren't saving pennies for a house. https://www.ebay.com/itm/376023652042- greeneyes

GH Brown Irish X Aromatic
A friend sent me some Aniseed Twist from the UK several years ago, and I bought some recently. There is notably less topping on the current version (a hint, if any). I think the "aged versus fresh" argument would bend toward a loss of topping over time rather than an increase. I like the...- greeneyes

WW1 Pipe
Gorgeous pipe!! When Philip Wade did his tour of the Commonwealth countries, I think it was in the 30s but I've got to check my records, he had a pipe done up in this way and it's a (Ben) Wade family heirloom. The motif is remarkably similar to yours which suggests that it has some particular...- greeneyes

I would have bought it too except the timing is awful. I don't see how people are dropping thousands on pipes when most people are burying their money.- greeneyes

Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes
This one had no bidders. I didn't scrutinize it for condition as I can't possibly bid on something that high at the moment, but does anyone know if there is a flaw I'm missing? Or was the starting price simply set too high? https://www.ebay.com/itm/135571433183- greeneyes
