    Local B&M Nightmare

    Thanks for the clarification portascat. This whole thread kinda got me curious about it :)

    Local B&M Nightmare

    Yeah, I suppose having trained security people vs untrained would make things different. The OP didn't really specify either way so I was assuming they had a security person there. I'm really not sure as I've never heard of anyone doing something like that. Either way it can't be good for...

    I doubt it's illegal as long as they tell you before they do it. I get that treatment every time I go to a concert, the airport, etc. It's not like you're being forced to go in...it still sucks though. I'd think the mitigation of risk they're achieving would be trumped by the loss of business...

    Any word of advice for smoking FVF by Samuel Gawith?

    I've never had much luck with the fold and stuff way of packing. I always wind up blocking the draft hole.

    Any word of advice for smoking FVF by Samuel Gawith?

    Rub it out, let it dry for an hour to a day (depending on how moist it is). Also, be careful with your packing. Try keeping it loose. I had similar problems at first (I've not had FVF but have had plenty of others) and those things all seemed to help me.

    Help With 1st Order

    As to the places to purchase your tobacco, any of the sponsors on this site are very good. I generally tend to buy from smokingpipes.com or pipesandcigars.com because they typically have better prices (at least that's been my experience).

    Pipe Grip Ambidextrous (or Lack Therof)?

    Nope :) I don't clench so it stays in the center most of the time.

    Home Brewing

    I've heard it's pretty much bottom rung as far as mead goes but it's the only thing they sell anywhere in my area. Haven't checked online though...

    Home Brewing

    Aye, that I did. I've got several beer and mead brewing books set up to study before I get home, then I'm gonna go nuts. I think I'm going to try to brew something once per week. Too much you think? I'm really excited about the mead though because I love the stuff I've had (mainly Chaucer's)...

    Rattray's Bagpiper's Dream

    I've been very curious about this blend for a while. Just ordered some from P&C. I'll report back when I get it :)

    SG in stock at PipesAndCigars

    I never received the tins of St. James I ordered from them in October :( I should probably make sure my CC wasn't actually charged haha.

    Dang this bites!

    It's the Mac Baren, not the Virginia. That blend did the exact same thing to me and I love Virginias. Same with one of their straight burley blends. I wound up giving them to a member here and he had the same experience.

    Pipes Magazine Rates JackKnife Ready Rubbed a 93! (Or 4.5 stars)

    I've had both plug and ready rubbed and I think I liked the flavor of the plug better. Although that may have been because I had plug first and it was my first Kentucky. You can't go wrong with either IMHO. Actually, I have nothing bad to say about any of the GLP blends I've tried. The man knows...

    Macbarens Vanilla Flake

    I've dedicated 1 pipe to it. Nothing else gets smoked out of that pipe. It's great. Didn't care too much for it the first bowl but it just got better after that.

    College Major?

    @Bigvan I've been in IT for 12 years now (I think) and I'm still the only person I know in the field who's degree is actually in IT. Most others either have no degree or have one in a different area.

    College Major?

    I'm about finished registering for my BS in Info Tech. Got my AAS about 10 years ago and figured it was time to finish it up. Although the AAS didn't do anything for me so I don't have high hopes for the BS doing anything for me either other than giving me peace of mind, which is definitely...
