    So The Virus Finally Hit Close To Home

    This is not your fault. They need to understand that. If they cannot that is on them and F them. Your duty is to your wife and family. A man who works six days a week, long hours is allowed to take unemployment while needed. I am lucky so far, my counterpart was furloughed, could have been me. I...

    What Are You Listening To (May 2020)

    I’ve been all over the place recently. Been digging the Yacht Club station on Pandora. Great mix of some older music. Perfect for a Sunday house cleaning or hanging by the pool.

    Hello and Love from Iran.

    Welcome from Tampa Florida. What types of tobacco do you like? Right now I’m way into the English blends. Loving the slightly spicy,smoky, and fruity sweetness.

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2020?***

    About to have another bowl of PS Proper English out of a Comoy's Bent Billiard (its a smaller bowl), first one ever was after lunch, liked it.

    Favorite Arms Manufacturer

    I have several semi auto pistols including a S&W M&P 22C that is just fun for shooting at the range. I have a Glock 23 Gen 3 (40 cal) that I have owned for over two decades. Thousands of rounds down the pipe, never a jam, only a few rounds that did not fire (ammo issue). Love it, will never...

    Do You Cellar "Wide", "Deep" or Both?

    I’m about to start down that road a little at a time being a newbie and all. I have decided though that it is for me (pipe smoking). I’ve really enjoyed pipe smoking, more so than cigars as of late. I picked up a few tins of different tobaccos that I have not opened. One is a Dunhill theee...

    Do All Online Retailers Charge an Excise Tax on Pipe Tobacco?

    Gotcha, so the website I was looking at is based in FL, dang it! It is available at Smokingpipes.com so I guess will go there. Appreciate it

    Do All Online Retailers Charge an Excise Tax on Pipe Tobacco?

    As I have been warming up to pipe smoking again, I ordered a few tins from a tobacco shop online, and they did not charge state tax or an excise tax. In Florida the excise tax is 85% of wholesale I learned for Other Tobacco Products which apparently includes pipe tobacco. I was curious if all...

    Anyone Giving Up The Juice During Lock Down?

    I like to have some drinks but I try and be responsible. In general I do my drinking at home in my backyard. Typically as a wind down on a Friday night. Usually a few scotches or three and a few cigars (or a pipe now). I may have some wine or gin and tonics on a Saturday or Sunday with my wife...

    Anyone Giving Up The Juice During Lock Down?

    Well, depends on how one looks at pipe smoking. I basically started when virus was gaining steam. I am doing something I normally would not, which is smoking tobacco on a weekday.

    Dusted Off My Pipes a Bit Ago And Reintroducing Myself to The Wonderful World of Pipe Smoking

    Thank you everyone for the welcome wishes. I read a few threads over the weekend and am enjoying the site. I did not yet get a chance to call the tobacconist but I did get an opportunity to visit a brick and mortar here and brought a sample. A gentlemen behind the counter was able to get me a...

    Dusted Off My Pipes a Bit Ago And Reintroducing Myself to The Wonderful World of Pipe Smoking

    I am going to start there, probably today and see what they say. I think so too, probably call them and describe as best I can but I remember they had so many tobaccos and pipes, (the shop truly is amazing) that I am pretty sure I am just going to have to send them a few samples to test. I am...

    Dusted Off My Pipes a Bit Ago And Reintroducing Myself to The Wonderful World of Pipe Smoking

    Hi everyone, hope all are well. I am a middle aged person in the sunny state of Florida. Tampa area to be specific, who just started smoking pipes again. I have never been a big time pipe smoker in my life. I lived in Chicago for some time and can't remember how I started or why, but I...
