Order from KBV Held Up by USPS for Two Weeks?
My last KBV order was delayed and I currently have an order in the mail that is also delayed. The last one went on an unexpected excursion to Bismarck, ND, which is not generally seen as on the way between Memphis and Tucson. This last order took 3 days to get out of the local post office and...- musicman

VaPer/Or Blend Recommendations?
So, I have never tried Ascanian 1 or 2. #2 sounds like it would be right up my alley. Given that Estervals is no longer shipping to the US, are there any other options for Americans interested in ordering this tobacco?- musicman

Remember Your First Estate Pipe?
I do. It was my first pipe. I was more of a cigar smoker and decided to treat myself to a pipe for my 29th birthday. Not really knowing much of anything, I bought a Stanwell bamboo estate off of Smoking pipes. I still have it and smoke it occasionally. It has some of the best straight grain... -
Stalin and Pipe Smoking
Also, this really does belong in "General Discussion." There is pretty much nothing in the OP that is pipe related, other than the fact that it's about a pipe smoker.- musicman

Stalin and Pipe Smoking
So what are you saying here? That Portland and the NIH is communist? You're aware that political talk is not allowed on these forums, yes?- musicman

Who Collects Ben Wades From The Charatan Era?
I don’t collect them, but I did recently buy an estate Charatan-era Ben Wade from @BROBS. I know some people don’t think highly of this era of Ben Wade’s, but it’s an excellent pipe all around and a great smoker. -
Stalin and Pipe Smoking
Relevant to this thread: My dad likes to bargain hunt for wine at Grocery Outlet, and his local store has a really great wine buyer who will do things such as set aside wines she knows he likes before they sell out. He got to talking to a neighbor, and it turns out this woman is Stalin’s...- musicman

VaPer/Or Blend Recommendations?
My understanding is that XX flake does indeed have Perique in it. In fact, I think it contains the same 18 yr old Perique that’s in XX Dark, although (to my palate) not as much. I like them both but XX flake might be my favorite special release of the past couple of years. The rest of your...- musicman

Rich’s in Portland OR
Update to say that the house blend I bought from Rich's, Craven's Claw, is excellent. Great, rich, VaPer smoke. Whatever blending components they used, they are well aged (it has some flavor notes that make me wonder if they used McClelland in the original blend). I will probably pick up some...- musicman

Tobaccoreviews.com
This right here. The new site is a classic case of looks trumping function, even though the looks aren’t great either. Buggy as heck. The info is there if you can find it though. Seems to me that a lot of websites go downhill when they get an “upgrade”. All the more reason to congratulate...- musicman

Rich’s in Portland OR
Yep. That seems right. And I get it too. It’s just interesting because I’ve never seen a B and M that charged more for their own bulk blends than for the stuff in tins. The Dorchester tin I bought was $14/oz and the bulk was $12/oz so I’d have to imagine a significant portion of the bulk...- musicman

Rich’s in Portland OR
This past week I travelled back to Portland OR (the town I grew up in) to see my parents for the first time since this COVID stuff started. It was amazing to be back in that very green place after a year and a half straight in the Sonoran desert! One stop (maybe more of a pilgrimage) I was...- musicman

Great Guys, Great Forum
Best forum I’ve ever been a part of. Lots of credit goes to @admin and all the moderators for laying out reasonable rules and enforcing them. The regulations here do a good job of (mostly) saving us from ourselves.- musicman

FDA to Ban Menthol in Cigarettes and Flavored Cigars
Yep. For those who are trying to make this into another partisan issue, it should be noted that the previous administration announced plans to do the exact same thing and only backed down once the sizable tobacco lobby was mobilized.- musicman

Anyone Stoked for Plum Pudding Special Reserve Flake?
Not me. I’ve got enough PPSR squared away to support my somewhat infrequent Latakia consumption for years. From what I’ve heard, the flake is just an easier to prepare version of the plug, which is already one of the easiest plugs to prepare. However, if you haven’t tried PP Barrel-aged...- musicman
