    Chicago 2024: Who's going?

    Very cool. Thanks for the explanation and the links to the Instagram pictures.

    Chicago 2024: Who's going?

    I passed your table a couple times and I was intrigued by the translucent meerschaum. Can you tell me a little bit more about how or why this is different than typical meerschaum? Is it a different material or just a different quality?

    Sacramento Pipe Club?

    There's still a group of about 7-10 of us that used to meet at the Briar Patch and now meet out in Woodland on the last Sunday of each month. If any of you check this thread and you're still interested, you can PM me for more details.

    The Briar And The Burley

    $5.25 an ounce isn't a bad price especially for a B&M. Heck, I gladly pay @ $5.88 an ounce for bulk HH Old Dark Fired from smokingpipes.

    Benchmark Blends

    If I just want a reliably good smoke and I'm not looking to be adventurous and try something new, you'll most often find that I've loaded a bowl with Peterson Irish Flake, HH Old Dark Fired, or F&T's Special Brown Flake.

    Lester Young Repeats as USA Slow Smoking Champion!

    What’s amazing is that anyone can spend an hour smoking a bowl of tobacco that was cased in Malort. 🤮

    Aging and Pricing Thoughts

    There's a vocal bias against reselling tins here. It's like a badge of honor for some people to want nothing to do with making a few dollars on a tin they no longer want. They'd rather let it collect dust in a bin somewhere so they can get a little extra street cred on the forums when they...

    Aging and Pricing Thoughts

    When it comes to resale of tins, I think it's helpful to look to people like PipeStud or sites like Tinbids for information. PipeStud lays out what he's looking for when accepting commissions. I'd take these as the baseline for when you might expect a tin to be worth more than a regular retail...

    Chicago 2024: Who's going?

    I'll be there starting Wednesday and staying until Monday. It's always a highlight of the year for me.

    One Light Pipe

    I think the only time you really need to worry about not relighting is if you're in a slow-smoking contest. Outside of that, who cares?

    Tinbids Experiences?

    I sold several tins of Esoterica and got more money for them than I would have been comfortable asking for on here. The transactions went off without a hitch (including one that was an international sale). Tinbids makes the shipping aspect of selling very, very easy since they provide the...

    Pipe Tobacco Scammers

    Social media apps are full of scammers trying to profit off of fake tobacco sales. They like to steal photos of other people's tobacco tins and pass them off as their own. If someone doesn't include something like a handwritten note showing today's date in the photograph with the tobacco, I...

    Record Dow Jones Over 37,000

    It's none of my business, but when I hear things like this it makes me wonder what your plans on for retirement (if you plan to retire)? Based on your user name, I might infer you are a fireman and if so you likely have a pension. If you have a pension, you've likely contributed to the markets...

    Night Owls

    I'm not proud of my sleeping habits. I typically have to force myself to go to bed at 1:00 and then I lay there frustrated that I'm not asleep until 2:00 or later. And then I'm up at 7:30 so I can start drinking a pot of coffee before my work day starts. By evening time, I can barely keep my...
