    I'm Calling This Pipe Bilbo's Gift: Morta, Silver, and Pearl

    This pipe probably took me about 15 hours from block and rod to pipe. But with other projects and moving due to a new job it got set aside. Now I have a new shop set up that is super organized with all of my tools accessible. I'm ready to rock.

    What Is Your Cellar Variety?

    I've got about 30 blends as the majority of my cellar, mostly Virginia flakes. But the biggest quantity of one blend is about 3.75 lbs of Shortcut to Mushrooms. And I have close to 30 lbs. at my current smoking rate that should last me till I'm 65-70 years old.

    Pre 2007 Blends - Are They Really Safe?

    Yep that's why I'm stocking up on everything I can not just the post 2007 blends though I did order a few of those too. That being said my cellar goals are pretty satisfied. Just the odds and ends to pick up.

    Pre 2007 Blends - Are They Really Safe?

    One issue I see is if the post 2007 blends make up a majority of sales for a company so that they have to shut down this loosing both pre and post blends.
