    STG closes Mac Baren and Sutliff

    Define "dying". From my perspective, the patient has been in steady decline for 50 years, with a few very hopeful periods of remission here and there.

    HU Tobacco Coming to the States

    Anyone who can run the gauntlet of obsessive compulsives as you have done here, and come out smiling is OK with me. Of course, you may not be very OK with me being OK with you being OK, and, well, that’s OK.

    Hu Drop at SP

    Doesn’t this add mystery to the plot! I wonder when all those blends had been released? Probably similar to what we did with Standard Tobacco to get under the FFA wire: Send out ten tins of each blend, quietly, to friends? Some folks here still have those hand packed SToP tins, with laser...

    HU Tobacco Coming to the States

    I’m not seeing the problem with shipping. Not knowing the particulars, I’ll suggest that the bulk HU tobacco is shipped in poly bags, in a corrugated box. Best scenario would be a large lot in Mylar inside a triwall. But even if it’s 5 pounds in a poly bag inside a Chinesium cardboard box, the...

    STG closes Mac Baren and Sutliff

    OK, as soon as your old lady gets done with it, then.

    🎄🌟 The Unofficial Official PM Secret Santa 2024 Thread 🌟 🎄

    I've retained all the names, phone numbers and emails of everyone who played this game while I was Scout Master. I have forwarded this information on to the American Car Warranty Co. You should be hearing from them soon.

    HU Tobacco Coming to the States

    That's irrational, but your prerogative.

    STG closes Mac Baren and Sutliff

    What has not been made clear here is that the same name, phrase or logo can be trademarked by entirely unrelated and unconnected companies for different product types (pipes, tobacco, ladies undergarments). This usually occurs when a company divests itself of part of it's operations, but the...

    HU Tobacco Coming to the States

    Foodsaver bags are polyethylene, which is not a very good oxygen barrier, especially when compared to Mylar, which is BoPET, a polyester. But they are better than your average soft plastic bag because they have a layer of nylon added for extra strength, and they can be evacuated (but not easily...

    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    This was a mix of the John Cotton blends left over from pipe shows we did when they were first released.

    Stanwell Shapes 62, 63, and 64. Differences?

    There's a nice grouping of Stanwell pipes, including a 62 and possibly two 63's on eBay right now. Fair price, too.

    Seen This Week, Pretty Awesome

    Years back, I was canoeing in The Boundary Waters, crossing a large lake between Canada and the US. It was early in the morning and the lake, usually choppy with whitecaps, was smooth as glass. Unbelievably quiet. It was the last day of a two week trip and our minds were lost in the...
