    RLP-6 v CBW

    I use to really enjoy CBW and CBR; however, these blends while quite tasty just do not have enough vitamin N for my current smoking habit.

    Cigar Lounges Flourish; Pipe Shops Disappear

    As has been stated it is about economics. Cigars just make more money for the shop owner. If you believe this is not correct for your area, you should open up a pipe shop and tobacco shop.

    Why Peterson?

    This year I have gotten into Peterson pipes. I love strait billiards and for factory pipes I have come to discover that a Pete does a great job for the price. Their low 100's shapes are exactly what I look for in a billiard size, weight and bowl diameter. I am also a fan of the shape of their...

    Greetings from Northwest Florida, AKA The Redneck Riviera.

    Welcome from Central Oregon. I went to college in the panhandle and spent a lot of time in Panama City Beach and Destin. Lovely part of the country except for the hurricanes. I was living just north of Crestview when we got hit by George which put down 29" of rain in 36 hours.
