    Coupon Culture

    I usually wait for deals and/or coupons, but based on the Sutliff debacle I ended up paying full price for some stuff before it is no longer available... Given the current environment with import tariffs, and my future retirement (about three years away), I'm trying to learn to live like a...

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    I am (and have been) waiting for the day when Peterson reintroduces an 0 01 (preferably a CP's own pipe replica)...I understand the issues with the briar to make these, but that $ is burning a hole in my pocket!

    Help with Autumn Evening...

    I love AE, but like any natural, handmade product it can be inconsistent (even though only a single employee at C&D blends it now).

    TAD Acquisitions 2025

    As I understand it, these are only again the European market. But you can get them both via Estervals and it is in stock pretty regularly. The 3 yr. cask aged Virginia is seriously underrated IMHO...
