    Replacing Old Boy pipe lighter case?

    Thank you - appreciate that! Maybe it'd be smarter just to send the case on to Music City, I have a feeling that'd be a lot less risky and there would be a responsible party who-is-not-me ;)

    Replacing Old Boy pipe lighter case?

    It's in the casing. This is the lighter: Music City doesn't have those white acrylic skins on hand as this type hasn't been sold in the US, apparently. The place I bought it from is sending me a new skin. I'm basically debating whether to send the skin to Music City and have them replace it...

    Replacing Old Boy pipe lighter case?

    I have an Old Boy with an outer casing (think the briar cased ones you may have seen). The case has a crack in it, and I'm going to try to replace it with a new one. Has anyone done this? I can't seem to find instructions online. I can't imagine it's that hard, but figured I'd ask before I do...

    Will you ever stop buying?

    With regard to new blends, I have yet to be impressed by the flavors of the week being released lately. I haven't tried the new War Horses or the other blends from that group, but generally speaking, I got burned enough on new blends with what I consider poor blending or components that I...

    Will you ever stop buying?

    I have a list of a few things I'd like to add. Every once in awhile I'll knock something off that list. What I've found is that I eventually find something else to replace it. Long story short, I should. I'm pretty well stocked. Frankly I don't care much about aging, and do think most blends...

    What Of Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Bosun Cut Plug?

    Well, there's Coniston Cut Plug, which I think is close, but I'd be surprised if they got rid of Bosun. Never know, though. I bought a 500g bag juuuuust in case, because it was on the list to restock. If true, too bad but at least I have some to smoke through, if not, I was going to do that...

    Pipe smoking in a cigar bar

    They weren't, they were doing quite well. The city banned them. Not sure why the one that's still active is able to stay open.

    Any L'Anatra fans?

    Well, I sure like that one! Nice.

    Pipe smoking in a cigar bar

    There have been three cigar bars in my town that I know of, two now closed (have been for awhile). In one of the closed ones, they didn't care because they made their money on liquor. In the other, there was a "cutting fee" for lighting your pipe, $10 I think. In the one that's still open...

    What Is Your Cellar Variety?

    Coulda used the same money for things much more valuable than consumables, but good luck.

    Women Repelled By Pipe Smokers?

    If any historians interested in future eras care, this is when we went full 4chan. Thanks Andy. You did it.

    No More Condor From GQ?

    I couldn't find Condar Long Cut anywhere that ships to the US recently. Or Revor Plug. Anyone have a tip on where one might be able to nab 'em? Thought we had a little longer for the overseas blends...

    If Your House Were On Fire...

    Barring family... there are a few that would be high on my list for one of the first things I'd grab.

    Wall Street Journal this weekend

    Google the title. Click. Free article. WSJ's paywall is... not great.

    Two of My Favorites Moldy

    It's awesome how C&D/SPC is handling this, and the responses from Ted and GLP bring much respect. I'm curious to know though - my impression is that blenders like Sam Gawith primarily use water as an additive, and I don't think there's much else in the way of PG or fungicides or what else have...

    How or Why Did You Start Smoking a Pipe?

    I just wanted to try it. I had an uncle who smoked a pipe who is mad at me now that I do it, because his wife doesn't allow him to any longer. One day, I plan to get him a pipe and a pound of Peretti to hide somewhere. But why I started? I just woke up one day and realized I could, but never...
