    ISO: C&D Corn Cob Pipe (Christmas Blend)

    Bumping this one more time, in the hopes someone didn't see it. Pre 2000 release is preferred, i.e. the cube cut.

    ISO: C&D Corn Cob Pipe (Christmas Blend)

    Agreed. It's my preference over the ready rubbed. I had a couple of tins of the cube, and luckily connected with a member here that had an 8 oz. tin, so I have a little buffer. I really hope they re-release this next year, and go back to the cube cut.

    ISO: C&D Corn Cob Pipe (Christmas Blend)

    Bumping this. I have had some good response. If any of you are still stashing away any of this, please let me know. My preference is for the cube cut vs. the ready rubbed, but I believe the cube was the first release back in 2016.

    ISO: C&D Corn Cob Pipe (Christmas Blend)

    Preference is to purchase vs. trade. Open to reasonable price requests. Not interested in mixed lots including this though, sorry. PM if you have some, or may have a lead on some. Thanks! ***Update*** To clarify, this is for the tobacco blend, not actual Corn Cobs branded with C&D... which I...

    C&D Corncob Pipe and a Button Nose

    Another option that I do is to add C&D Cube Cut Burley to it. 50/50. Tones all the aromatic qualities down to a very acceptable level... plus extends your supply!

    Are Forums Dying, And Why?

    The reality is, an entire site re-write would be A LOT of work. It's not just simply "slapping a new dress on it". While there are plenty here that have shared that they feel it's antiquated and not up to 2017 standards, It seems the vast majority are perfectly fine with it. Unless the scales...

    Are Forums Dying, And Why?

    I think the comparison is to other places where they are designed for true mobile browsing. This site is not responsive web design, nor does it have a true mobile site. All a matter of preference. Many are just used to the way it is, and that's fine.

    Father the Flame

    There is a fine line between building anticipation and losing people's interest.

    White Whale DE Safety Razor

    I started using a safety razor about 2 years ago and haven't looked back. Closer shave, more economical and it takes a mundane activity and makes it a sort of ritual. I have an Edwin Jagger Chrome and use Feather Stainless blades. Shave soap is handmade puck from a local soap store, applied...

    Grape Tobacco?

    Captain Bob's Blend from C&D. Though it pains me to encourage anyone to smoke this, it will fit the bill. I remember receiving a sample of it from someone, and the grape permeated the packaging which was a sealed plastic bag inside and a well taped box outside.
