    Selling Valuable Cellared Tobacco

    Good question clarification. I mean an owner having tobaccos that have a perceived value to the seller that is reflective of some big sales on the market but are priced at a level that few can buy. Ie. You can sell a bag of esoterica for $400 bucks but there are only so many whales in the sea...

    Selling Valuable Cellared Tobacco

    Not contesting the current prices in the tobacco for sale listings, but definitely a high rollers market. I also am old enough to know what you ask for isn't necessarily what you get. But it got me thinking of an interesting conundrum where if you sit long enough on stuff, it may become so...

    Small vs. Wide/Big bowl

    Title edited. See Rule 9. I’ve seen this pop up over various chats about smoking particular tobaccos with favorite pipes. Is there a general rule of thumb with Virginia’s vs Lat bombs faring better in one type of bowl size than another. Maybe it’s not the type of tobacco but the type of cut...

    Oregon Ban on Flavored Tobaccos Moves Forward

    My friend is a cigar shop owner and he doesn’t believe it will affect online businesses ability to ship orders to Oregon. For what it’s worth

    Live in Oregon too. Looks like my orders might go up and my suitcase more full when I’m traveling back from wherever 😏

    Oregon Ban on Flavored Tobaccos Moves Forward

    Clarification here. If the bill goes through. I want to understand its implications. Meaning will it prevent stores selling pipe tobacco? Will it also prevent tobacco ordered online being able to be shipped here? Thanks for any answers

    A Peterson and Some 1894 Poetry

    Was just gifted this so I wanted to share. Excited to dive in. The pipe is a Peterson bulldog with a sterling silver band. Stamped Sherlock Holmes (Hudson). The book is Pipe and Pouch pipe poems from 1894! A hard bound book with a leather bag.

    What Would You Do? Last Bowl...

    Well in unscientific fashion it happened today. Thanks to this community, I took the recommendations and smoked them side by side today with great hopes of finding a continuing blend that matched my "Brigadoon" from Cascade Cigar. The notes below are the exact opposite of my following of...

    Secrets Revealed: Bulk Blends

    Context. This continues from the “last bowl thread.” I would love to hear from former employees and store blenders. I’ve always assumed more exotic tobaccos and brands were used to blend renamed store blends (I.e. McClelland tobaccos and thus the end of some of the store blends because of...

    Enjoying all the input. Going to put in an order of Lane HGL and see if it’s close and I will post my final hurrah when I smoke it!

    What Would You Do? Last Bowl...

    Also can I ask. Does a store “blend” require that it is more than simply a renamed “brand” blend I.e. does Brigadoon have to have not only Lane HGL but a dash of something else to allow B&M’s to rename it?

    Thank you so much for this information. Can’t wait to track down some of this stuff and see how it matches! Cheers

    What Would You Do? Last Bowl...

    Another thought. Any veteran blenders in this community that if a bowl was sent could email me with suggested matches? Just a thought
