    One Tobacco to Rule Them All...

    At the moment, that’s $10.56

    What Blends to Bring Home from USA?

    I would place an order at Watch City Cigar. Great variety and high quality offerings. Like @pantsBoots said, I haven’t had a bad blend from them, and all across the spectrum. Flake 558 (VaPer), Glass Slipper (VaOr), Old Black Magic (Aro), Quint’s Own (?), Waltham Broken Cake (Burley), Simply...

    Your Own "Best" Tobacco

    WCC Quint’s Own for me.

    Your Own "Worst" Tobacco

    That was my experience, too. I kept thinking it must be me, since the stuff is so popular. Maybe if I slow down, maybe if I try it in a different pipe, maybe with some time my preferences will expand, maybe it just needs a bit more time in the jar. Nope, not for me.

    TAD Acquisitions 2024

    Saint Espresso was still in stock when Sun Bear went up for sale, so I was glad to be able to get a couple of my favorites in the same order.

    And Your Favourite Cheese Is?

    Comté for me, please.

    Captain Black Grape 🍇

    WCC None of Your Business and Dan Tobacco Devil’s Holiday come to mind. I found Devil’s Holiday to be over the top, but I quite like None of Your Business.

    Ted’s Pipe Shoppe

    Ted’s is a great little shop. The 300, also known as Founder’s Blend, is quite good. I would call it a light English, with Latakia, VAs and a good bit of burley. Killarney is also a popular blend—it’s an aromatic. There used to be two locations, but the one at The Farm closed a number of years...

    Do you mix charcoal into GFlex to color it?

    Winter Weather Challenge

    I had a bowl of Figgy Pudding while the kids played in the snow yesterday. It was about 3*F where we are in OK.

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    Nice catch. The Made in England would make it from the 1930s, right? I’m curious to see what it looks like when it arrives. My guess is that you’ll see a three-piece C smiling at you when you see the other side of the stem. Any guesses on the dark spot at the bottom of the bowl?

    eBay lot of Kaywoodies and Comoys from the 1930s

    Yeah, I was pretty pleased with where that one came in.

    eBay lot of Kaywoodies and Comoys from the 1930s

    That’s how most of the lots on eBay are. I usually look for lots of pipes that are poorly pictured and not well described. I don’t buy many pipes on eBay because I’m cheap and these lots are so rare. I got lucky on this one to spot the white clover on the shank, and also that the seller had the...

    eBay lot of Kaywoodies and Comoys from the 1930s

    Nope, this one went the distance, but only three bids by three bidders.

    Where Did the High End Kaywoodies Go?

    I scored some Kaywoodies from the 1930s recently and posted about it over here… https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/threads/ebay-lot-of-kaywoodies-and-comoys-from-the-1930s.102603/

    eBay lot of Kaywoodies and Comoys from the 1930s

    I wasn’t quite sure what I was getting when I bought this lot of pipes on eBay because they weren’t well presented, but the one that caught my eye was a Kaywoodie Super Grain, as I noticed the clover inlaid on the stem and remembered reading at some point that these were older and a bit rare...

    Sutliff Mocha Strips?

    When I’ve bought from TP.com they have been full flakes.

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    Does anyone know if there’s a video on the interwebs of them slicing a plug at the factory? I’d love to see what that’s like.
