    Ordering guns to California is a pain in my neck, but so far no issues with pipe tobacco. We'll see how that goes.

    JimInks, I've Gotta Ask.

    Both of those questions a Impossible for 'him' to answer. A well hidden secret in the Piping community is that JimInks is actually twenty five pipes smoking elves in a trench coat.

    What's your Favorite "Navy"?

    My next trial is Windjammer. I really want to try SG Navy with the latakia, but unfortunately, Seattle Pipe Club cast a spell on my wallet with their vanilla rum release and the money just ran out of it! Next time I reup I'll get a tin. And if I don't like it, I'll send the rest to you guys. :)

    What's your Favorite "Navy"?

    I finally got some Macbarren Navy. I was apprehensive about getting the 3.5oz size, but I'm glad I did! It's very good. It's lighter than GH Rum Flake in both appearance and taste. But very pleasant. I'd like to find one that splits the middle between the two, and maybe I'll try to mix the...

    What is Your Favorite Blend in the Morning?

    Thanks for the insight. I know that the only way to know for sure is to smoke it my self, as someone said, but hearing a few responses does help sometimes.

    What's your Favorite "Navy"?

    So. A report back on Rum Flake. Holy Christmas Cake, Batman! That is a great description. Not cloying, but a very rich maple sugar sweetness with Molasses for miles. Actually a bit much for me. But still a 8/10. So delicious and rich and creamy. But more of a once a week smoke for me...

    Who Has a Job He Actually Loves?

    I absolutely love my job. I am a union organizer for custodians, para-educators, assistants, craftsman and construction, and food service school employees. It's 50-70 hours a week, but fairly compensated. I do get a lot of freedom to set most of my hours and do the'office' side from home -...

    Subscription Services Discussion

    Hello Pipers, Are there any subscription boxes or other similar services related to pipes/pipes smoking? I know Muttonchop shared one but it seems to be out of commission. I have participated in tangentially related subscription boxes like bespoke post, which occasionally have pipe tobacco...

    Did You Lose Your Taste for Aromatics Over Time?

    In my second year (back before 2003. feeling old) I did. I went into an English and VaPer kick. But now, I find aros are about 1/3 of what I smoke. I'm just far more discerning and don't much branch out without a lot of recommendations.
