    Black House... good but...

    Oh I have been plenty and it has grown on me quite a bit. The most unfortunate thing about this tin is that it is almost gone! I've been packing it in a small corncob I recently picked up to kinda ration it out alittle!

    And one more time for the record to make it official... No aromatics for this guy... unless you think you can sway me with something. And I'm loving Lats and what I've had from Frog Morton lately. Thanks and look forward to this fun surprise! When should we be mailing these out again?

    Black House... good but...

    I got a small napkin damp and rang it out real good then stuck over the top put the lid on and let it sit for a few hours. Now it seems much better.

    A Pipe & 1/4 Pound of Tobacco - Only $19.95!

    I gotta say wow to all of you and thanks for sharing. I guess I never realived(till now) that it was important to properly rack your pipe. Funny thing is that I quickly started to browse pipe racks and my wifey said that this was turning into an expensive hobby... so for now I'm just gonna...

    A Pipe & 1/4 Pound of Tobacco - Only $19.95!

    Rceived mine as well. Not the prettiest pipe but hey its a sweet deal for 20 bucks. I could smell the baccy before I opened the mail box, so might not be diving right in considering I have found that I am not to fond of aromatics... pipe seems to smoke alright, but I am almost tempted to cover...

    Rochester/Canandaigua NY clubs?

    I haven't been to Dewey Ave in some years. I actually live some of my very young childhood years 2 blocks away from there. I used to frequent the shop to buy Nate Shreman cigs... As far as HH is concerned I didn't really check out their pipes or tobacco, everything is really pricey. I as well...

    Black House... good but...

    So I got a tin of Black House the other day. I've had a few pipes and do enjoy it... BUT I have a strange feeling that this tin I have is too dry. What should I expect from a tin of this baccy?

This will be a great xmas indeed! @gunnar... if you need me to send my info again I will, I just didn't see my name on...
