    Idiot Question from a Veteran Smoker

    I have a habit of finding something I like and then failing to keep exploring. Then later, I find that I have missed out of something great due to that lack of pressing forward. Then I think, “Darn. Had I only kept going.” I think a part of maturity is a willingness to never settle, but then...

    Idiot Question from a Veteran Smoker

    I’ve smoked a pipe for 30 years, but for some inexplicable reason, I’ve never, ever bought a tin until the Chicago Pipe Show a couple weeks ago. I’ve only ever smoked bulk tobaccos - usually Lane BCA. But at some point, everyone grows up and starts acting like an adult doing what they should...

    Purchased My First Estate Lot
