    Websites That Compel You To Buy Stuff

    I don't need another pipe or tin, but when I come on here, I always find something I "need" to buy. What other websites do that to you? For me, it's Cool Tools. They always seem to have some tool or gadget that makes me say "how have I made it this far in life without owning this?" This usually...

    The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2017 Thread!

    Package delivered Saturday and I opened it last night. Great selection Santa! I got a tin of Butera Royal Vintage Dark Stoved. If it's along the lines of the McC Royal Cajun series, I will be very pleased. Second, a tin of SG Winter Time Flake. I'm very happy because I had the Summer and Autumn...

    Apologies if this was already posted, but CI has 25% off using code xmas25 for 24 hours. They carry a good list of pipe tobacco. I haven't looked yet to see what is in stock.

    The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2017 Thread!

    Looking forward to this again. I enjoyed this thread so much last year. Everyone was so into it. I am open to any blend with a preference to trying something under the radar.

    Found a Brebbia Aero Billiard (curious what you think)

    I have an Aero bent billiard and it smokes very well. It is made to accept a filter. I don't use one. I did put an adapter in mine. If you look at ebay, you may find one there. I got mine in excellent condition for $24 there.

    Do You Still Have Your First Pipe?

    My first pipe met an unfortunate end when I had it in the pocket of a long raincoat and I accidentally closed it in my car door busting the shank and stem into a bunch of pieces.

    Jim Croce's Last Song.

    I like it a lot. Jim Croce had some great tunes. I heard an interview with AJ a few months ago on the radio and he sounded like a really down to earth guy. I got online to check him out and was floored. Besides losing his dad as a baby, he went blind as a toddler from abuse from his mother's...

    Question About Your Local Tobacco Shop

    I try to make it to the local B&M when I can. It's great to speak face to face with fellow pipe and cigar enthusiasts. I normally buy cigars because New York taxes push a tin of Dunhill Flake to $25.50 before 8% sales tax. I know it isn't the store's fault, but I won't pay all that tax. I will...

    Eclipse Fun With My Kids

    I made a box for my 10 year old with some holes and taped a box of eclipse gum in it. He didn't find it as funny as I did. I like corny jokes...

    Why no love for Aromatics

    I fixed my wording. But I may try coffee grounds someday...I remember a Leave it to Beaver episode where Beaver and his friend smoked coffee in Ward's pipe.

    Why no love for Aromatics

    I enjoy coffee aromatics and nutty aromatics (usually cut with 25% five brothers, now leaning toward C&D Dark Fired Kentucky). I also like to mix just a little coffee aromatic into my lighter English blends. It's like a coffee version of Two Friends English Chocolate.

    What happened to Drew Estate

    I think it had something to do with the sale of Drew Estate to Swisher Cigars a couple of years ago and they decided not to continue with the pipe tobacco line. I'm sure Russ O. would know the exact reason
