    Restricted Item and EBay Global Shipping

    Oh, so he shipped it and then it was confiscated. Did a closer reading.

    Any way to just contact him and pay him some other way off ebay?

    Ought You to Trade Tobacco?

    Nah, you’re fine. Christmas Cheer hasn’t gone up in price. It varies from $70 to $100 depending on how much age it has. Unless you really liked it, there’s no reason to regret selling it.

    L.A. Pipe Clubs

    We did a Zoom meeting recently and no one joined. It was just me and the founder. I’m sure he’s down to do more if people show up, and he might be open to in person meetings now. I’m always down to meet in person.

    Here’s a couple I got recently. Scott Klein handmade with bison horn: Lee Von Erck:

    Briars With Small Bowls?

    Scott Klein’s Burners are like $44, small, and he hand finishes all of them. He is known for making excellent smoking pipes, and Mike McNeil of McClelland praises his pipes.

    Ought You to Trade Tobacco?

    I’ve traded two bags of Penzance for a pre-transition Barling. Turned out to be the best smoking pipe in my collection. It all depends on what the pipe is and whether you want it.

    Savinelli: Saint Nicholas 2021… Already!?! ?

    I remember the Peterson Christmas 2018 pipes came out during summer that year. I was sitting outside having a family dinner during sunset and got the notification. I checked my email, and it was right in the middle of summer. Here’s the email with date.

    Dunhill Navy Rolls

    I bought 8 tins of Dunhill Navy Rolls a few months ago. Not sure what the years are. Guy was selling them for $20 a tin, and I bought them all. Still haven’t popped one, but if it’s similar to Escudo but sweeter and supposedly better, I’m gonna like it.

    Pipe Grading

    I was talking to George Dibos once about grading. His advice to me was to pay no attention to it. You can find a pipemaker’s lowest grade with fantastic straight grain, and then their $10,000 pipe that looks about the same. I’m sure for some pipes or pipemakers it makes sense, but in most cases...

    Cornell & Diehl Small Batch Sun Bear Black Locust

    This is correct. I bought the limit on last year’s release of Sun Bear and wasn’t a fan, so I passed on this year’s. However, many people like Sun Bear. If it doesn’t suit you at first, put the lid back on and let it sit for a couple of weeks.

    Blue Room Briars

    They are excellent.

    What is Samuel Gawith’s Most Under-Rated Tobacco?

    St. James Flake might be talked about enough already, but it’s one of the best tobaccos I’ve ever had. As good or better than all of the rare and discontinued blends I’ve tried.

    C&D Sunbear 2021 Edition “Black Locust”

    You guys on the East Coast are finally catching on to the fact that Smoking Pipes puts up the limited releases at midnight.

    TAD: A Poll

    Frog Morton Across the Pond and On the Bayou for $7.99 a tin or something. Makes me want to cry.

    C&D Sunbear 2021 Edition “Black Locust”

    Bought wayyy too much Eight State Burley, so I may have to sit this one out. I’m glad you guys are stoked for this release. Anything that keeps up the creativity and competition in the tobacco world.

    West Coast Pipe Show 2021 Discussion

    Marty is a great guy, and one of the organizers, but the decision to call off the show is mind boggling. Even California is fully open with packed out, maskless baseball stadiums. I’m going to guess that some of the old timers were still scared to go out and that influenced their decision. How...

    Offical 2021 Stanley Cup Playoff Thread

    No problem whatsoever with Montreal winning. It’s probably embarrassing to the team, though. I really just wanted to see Vegas beat Colorado. The hockey isn’t going to get any better than that series the rest of this postseason. Nothing against the Canadiens, but the Isles or Lightning must win...
