    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    Looks like a Charatan through and through.

    HU Tobacco In The US?

    It will be interesting to evaluate some of these new "Kopp" interpretations of the HU lines and see for myself what may have been altered due to concerns of availability and expediency.

    Puff n' Stuff Broke My Heart

    I used to buy from them several years ago, and kept calling back until a couple of years ago. I saw the decline happening over the years and the owner expressed his unwillingness to jump through the hoops that Arango in particular, wanted him to in order to earn Esoterica for his shelves...

    Help with Hallmarks

    That is a sideways "K" in script.

    Why We're Doomed, aka Paying for a Pizza

    Don't worry. With the growing postgraduate degree inflation and AI driven automation, in a few years the guy taking you pizza order will have a PhD in quantum mechanics and will be asking for the expiration date in scientific notation.

    Opened a Jar of 2019 Dark Bird's Eye

    An important change --- Dark Bird's Eye doesn't have any bird's eye (tiny stem pieces around which the leaf was spun before being cut) in it anymore. Pretty soon we'll have two types of tobacco to choose from: dark and light.

    In Search of High Sugar-Content Virginias

    My opinion is that African Virginias have the most depth and subtle, natural sweetness. Cheap Brazilian Virginia requires lots of saucing and doctoring to "taste sweet" and, again, in my IP noon, won't mature to any significant extent with age. This, I would seek out blends that are...

    Info, please: M. B. Cannon - Murnon from 1910's

    This ad is from a 1924 issue of Tobacco and features a WDC Peerless. They may have been suppliers and/or manufacturers for WDC but that remains to be determined.

    Info, please: M. B. Cannon - Murnon from 1910's

    The eBay seller has since added more letters from the American Briar Pipe Co., in an attempt to collect a debt from Cannon and the most recent one is really amusing! And... temperamental! If I collected Cannon and/or ABPCo stuff I'd be all over these letters as they're great memorabilia. I...

    Info, please: M. B. Cannon - Murnon from 1910's

    For anyone interested, several letters from the American Briar Pipe Co., to M. B. Cannon, dated 1922, have appeared on eBay. There is a string of 5 letters, I think, and they tell a story of returned goods and balances due. https://www.ebay.com/itm/204987044083

    What is the Most Muscular Straight Burley Sold Today?

    Stonhaven is a Virginia-Burley blend. And an aromatic, at that. ;)

    Glad nobody was looking over my shoulder at work. 🤢

    What is the Most Muscular Straight Burley Sold Today?

    George is looking for something similar to Torben Dansk - Burley Maduro, which is a straight dark Burley made by Dan/DTM. It has a punch and a dry cocoa note on the nose. I know they sell it in bulk bags but they were sold out of those a few months ago. I wonder if they've restocked.

    Tobacco Haul Cigarworld And Other B&m

    You made a nice purchase. Some of the tins look like they might be blends made specifically for the shop.

    RB plug

    I believe the issues with leaf supply oddly coincide with the change in management. ;)

    This looks like a splendid place! I wonder if they ship internationally.

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    I couldn't agree more 🙏. This little Wade is arguably more rare (I've never seen another like it) and I was lucky to snap it up at a very, very reasonable price. It was back in April though the eBay listing seems to have disappeared.

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    I went $350 on these. I only wanted one of them and felt I couldn't bid any higher. Oh well...

    Stolen or Style or Innovation

    Good or evil, it's business. There's a reason trademark protections exist. I personally find it in poor taste, but commerce doesn't care a bit what I think.
