    Post from Jeremy McKenna on Mac Baren closure

    Is St. Bruno sticking around? Personally doesn’t matter to me, I’m stocked for life but it would be a shame to see it go regardless.

    Post from Jeremy McKenna on Mac Baren closure

    I agree, I’ve seen nothing but good things happening with Gawith. Better availability & more options in the US. I’m absolutely happy to see what y’all have been doing. Please keep up the good work, I can assure you that most pipe smokers appreciate it.

    Post from Jeremy McKenna on Mac Baren closure

    I think I was out of the loop for a year and a half, I come back for a glimpse of where we are at currently and find out this terrible news. I never imagined Mac Baren would sell, they were always my old reliable. What a shame. I mean I knew a lot was going to happen while I stayed away from the...

    David Lynch Dies Aged 78

    I actually met him in Austin for the premier of Inland Empire, he was a great guy, very down to earth but certainly one of a kind and his work was pretty avant garde and not for everyone, he didn’t give a shit though, he did what he wanted to do, he didn’t care about making blockbusters. He &...

    David Lynch Dies Aged 78

    If you like Lost Highway, I feel like you would have like Mullholand Drive. Inland Empire was another amazing film.

    David Lynch Dies Aged 78

    lol, yeah I love that clip! Never see a coke or Pepsi can strategically placed in his films. 😆

    David Lynch Dies Aged 78

    He was hands down my favorite director, he’s had a huge impact on my life, may his imagination live on forever. I thought this was really cool:

    The New Old Beatles Song

    Wow, that’s really cool. Such a great song too! It wasn’t until I started learning some Beatles songs on the guitar that I really began to appreciate their true talent of writing amazing tunes. I was the guy who always said they were overrated… I’m a late bloomer, what can I say. By the way, I...

    Bob’s Chocolate Flake

    I honestly, haven’t been looking. I didn’t even know they sold a plug version of it.

    Bob’s Chocolate Flake

    It’s very different in my opinion, has way more a floral/perfume essence than that of BCF. I haven’t had it in a long, long time though, so take what I’m saying with a grain of salt. I would be interested in trying a more recent production. I got mine at an online presence that didn’t store...

    Morning Wake up Call

    I’ve gotten used to them living in Texas, though, if they sting you on the tip of your toe, it can hurt like a butch for a good hour. Feels like stepping on broken glass. But I do enjoy a good cuddle with a scorpion when I’m lonely.

    Warped Scarecrow 2023?

    Sounds nice but I am done, I’m seriously worried that the pipe tobacco I do have now is going to go to waste, I haven’t even made a dent in my stash. So, in short, the 3,200 tins are safe from me.

    Erinmore Plug Velvan Plug Anthing from Gallaher Bengal Slices 3 Nuns Balkan Sobranie Escudo I‘m sure I’ll think of more once I start reading this thread but this is all that’s coming to my tired brain at the moment.

    Career Change?

    Changed my career late in life. Worked as a mail carrier for way too long. Went back to school (when I was 38) and got in the tech industry, I’m a software engineer, I work in operations, so it can be stressful at times but I love solving problems, every new problem is just a puzzle waiting to...
