    Why are estate pipes ok?

    I bought my first estate pipe from Barry Levin in the early 90s. I’ve bought many more since. I’m still in decent shape for a seasoned citizen (73 yrs.).

    Inveterate pipe smoker, new to this peanut gallery…

    Why are some pipes “expensive”?

    Proposed UK tobacco ban

    How about the obesity problem? How about anyone born after 2008 cannot have a bmi higher than 25? That would save real money.

    Jim's C&D We Three Kings Review.

    This is good timing because I just happen to be smoking a bowl of the original from a few years back. It is quite pleasant and lightly sweet and aromatic. I don’t notice any great strength and I am particularly sensitive to high-test tobaccos. I’ll surely get some of the new product.
