    Not Looking Likely That Seattle Pipe Club Will Be Back On The Market?

    That's interesting. I wonder/am guessing there were prob different deals/levels to Sutliff/MacBaren's production line. Like many of them they owned but I suppose ones like SPC they would provide contracted services while the brand's owners would retain corporate shares/IP rights... like a...

    Proposed UK tobacco ban

    Trust me, I know many addicts as well. Congratulations on your recovery.. sincerely. There's a difference between personal scale and societal scale though.. that's something that often gets mixed up in these discussions. I'm not saying hard drugs are healthy lol. Just that there are different...

    Proposed UK tobacco ban

    Multiple studies have proven @Sig correct. This one from the UK... cocaine (powder, not freebase) is roughly as harmful as tobacco to health and society... and that's with it being still criminalized which multiple other studies show magnifies any substances negative effects.. not mitigates...

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2025?***

    Ice age pipe purchased from a member... finally cracked the first of my sunbear.. very late I know. Very good but decidedly less "bright" than black locust imo... altho that does tend to highlight the creaminess of the orientals so I'm here for it...

    Tin bids veracity

    I Remember When..........

    That's a wild price for NYC wow lol Yeah I'm in PA so we're generally the middle of the road on cigs vs low NC or high NY. And for vacation we'd travel those states decently. Well, I remember back when a pack of cigs here was like what it is now in NC whereas (at that same time) what they are...

    What is your Favorite Christmas Blend?

    Generally they will use those as descriptions of flavor or even toppings, yes. But with this it was specifically how they supported the Pecan (which was the primarily noticeable flavor and is something you don't see in almost any blends today) to make an absurdly rich and smooth special flavor...

    What is your Favorite Christmas Blend?

    True but I'd hazard a guess to say the healthy majority... either way just trying to illustrate (at least in my experience) the process seems to make the "controllability" of the lead night vs day... Actually now that you mention it one that I noticed was far more mild at least, if not also...

    What is your Favorite Christmas Blend?

    I find it even more funny that the people who say that about aromatics then usually say "no it's burley/codger blends that are ACTUALLY the easiest" when in my personal experience, they are the only thing more difficult than even the tougher aromatics... Idk, maybe it's my body chemistry, but...

    I Remember When..........

    I remember... no Internet. Pretty simple as that. Well, okay.. maybe not THAT simple. I was born in the Blizzard of 1993, so technically there was internet even before I was conceived. Perhaps I should clarify, I FIRMLY remember the WORLD as it existed before the internet-ification of...
