    SAT Question

    I LOVE Stokkebye Luxury Twist Flake. Easy to find, cheap, sweet and tasty plus it’s nice to look at!

    One Tobacco To Rule Them All

    Yes sir, I do consider myself lucky, I’m only 15 minutes away and I bought my first pipe and tobacco from Larry! I’ve tried many of their blends but I somehow haven’t picked up Black Maria yet.

    One Tobacco To Rule Them All

    Just curious if there’s a commercial blend you’d compare with Black Maria. I haven’t tried it yet but I’m going to grab an ounce next time I’m in there.

    If You Could Buy Only a Few?

    This probably isn’t super helpful but I’ve only had Plum Pudding and Quiet Nights and I prefer Quiet Nights.

    Boswell Must-Tries?

    I’ve really been wanting to try some of Boswell’s Northwoods, Countryside and Private Stock. Are there any other must-tries from Boswell’s offerings?

    Are Tobacco Samples a Thing?

    Yeah, I was just curious if it was something that people did with their opened or cellared tobaccos. I guess not, lol

    Are Tobacco Samples a Thing?

    Alright, I guess my great idea isn't a thing, lol. And I can't edit my post to say that I wasn't talking about FREE samples. I've bought plenty of bulk samples, I was just wondering if any private sellers (not companies, b&ms, etc.) offer samples of their stashes for sale.

    Are Tobacco Samples a Thing?

    I’m only a couple of months into smoking a pipe and I’m trying to explore different tobaccos and discover what I really like but this hobby can expensive real quick! After attending the STL pipe show and picking up a few samples from Lane, Ltd. it has me wondering if any private sellers offer...
