    What is the Worst Pipe Tobacco You have ever Smoked?

    Have to say "Yorktown" is trash. To my imagination, reminiscent of reclaimed tobacco swept off the floor of a revolutionary era New England horse stall. And that's attributing more flavor than is actually deserved. I have to add SG Grousemoor is hot garbage. I'll wait till I'm an old man to suck...

    Germain's Special Latakia Flake - When Available Again?

    Wow, you're in Germany and can't find it. I was able to purchase one tin a couple weeks ago at my B&M. They are packaged in the round tins now as well as Penzance. Sorry I cant help point you in a better direction. It's one of my personal favorites. My guess is you'll have a better chance to...

    Sam Gawith Becoming The New Unicorn

    It just gets bought up quickly every now and again. I've seen it go quick one drop then seen it linger later in another. The stories and theories get amazing when their machines break down and have to halt production. The blends are pretty common in Europe and dont seem to be going away. Even if...

    Germain's Special Latakia Flake - When Available Again?

    Is this a rhetorical question, or are you serious....? Not trying to be rude lol. Secondary market might be a better option or a shop maybe in Germany that would ship to you.

    Seattle Pipe Club Potlatch, Discussion Not Review

    I prefer Potlatch to Plum Pudding or Mississippi River myself. I smoked through a tin and purchased a pound of it to cellar. It already has the body I like and is plenty complex for my taste. When I dont have Penzance it takes its place quite nicely.

    Beautiful New Lids For Mason Jars Arrived Today

    Your labels are awesome milehighpiper! One might think that a company could post graphics of their tin art so us simpletons could have a representation of the "tin" art we like so much. Well heck, if we had a good graphic to transfer through our printer... we could make stickers for our tool...

    Help! (Foggy Mountain Orders)

    So, I think there are several things going on here. 1. emails are saved in succession with the responses that are written. Hence the "Re." designation in the subject line. Dollars to donuts people know this and to them they are just carrying on the conversation they had with you earlier that...
