    Hard To Find Blends Available Here

    If you don't have any inheritors and don't mind adopting a somewhat cranky 55 year old I'm available.

    Hard To Find Blends Available Here

    Have you ever called them? If not; what do you base your statement on? I'm not a "local", I'm from Missouri and every time I've called I've had a great experience. As to the Penzance; I would never pay that much for half a pound of anything, but try to find it. 4noggins had several listings...

    Hard To Find Blends Available Here

    Sorry you had a bad experience. Every time I've called them they've been nothing but patient and helpful.

    Hard To Find Blends Available Here

    Just to be clear; no one at Telford's asked me to do this. I see members talk in many posts about blends that are hard to come by either because they're out of production (like the Syrian latakia that I got) or because they're European blends that don't get imported much and get snatched up as...

    Cutting a Balsa Filter

    I use them in my Frank Medico's in place of the paper ones and I like it much better. I don't get any extra noticable restriction.

    Hard To Find Blends Available Here

    After speaking with Kevin and getting permission I'm posting this list from a B&M I've done business with. I asked a couple guys on here what some of the harder to locate blends are. I gave that to Brian and he compiled this list. The store is Telford's Pipe and cigar. They're located in...

    Picked This Up Off Side Of The Road

    Great score! I grew up very poor and learned at an early age "rehab" things that others deemed trash. We love cooking outside. We have a covered deck so we're able to cook out there a lot. If you like cooking outside look in to a Blackstone griddle. I bought one 2 years ago and we use it...

    Tobacco Recommendations

    Anything with a high Latakia content! Just kidding. Do you know if there's a local brick and mortar tobacco shop near you? Most of them that I've dealt with have been really nice; they have a vested interest in helping you find the right tobacco so you'll enjoy the experience and come back...

    Do You Have a Different Hobby?

    My non pipe hobbies are woodworking and restoring old tools. I don't know if I'd consider motorcycling as a hobby; for me it's a big part of my life. I got my first motorcycle in 1983 and since I've ridden in 37 states and 6 countries. When I retire my goal is to do the Ultimate Coast to...

    Do You Have a Different Hobby?

    I knew a guy whos an MG nut; he had at least 4 that I know of. He's also 6'5" and about 260lbs. It was always fun watching him fold himself into the drivers seat. He was also a genius at keeping the carbs in sync. They are cool looking cars!

    So New to Pipe Smoking, My First Pipe Hasn't Arrived Yet

    Welcome from Missouri.

    BaccyFlap Vs. FlapJack

    One of my coworkers chews tobacco. He gave me an empty Copenhagen can. I cleaned it out and it works perfectly. I never judge how another man spends his money, but I couldn't spend that much coin on something that carries a few pipes worth of tobacco and rides around in my pocket. I also have...

    My First Mold!

    Thanks for your input. I've checked all the other jars and (knock on wood) I don't see any other evidence of mold. I guess I'll just have to watch... or smoke everything I have very quickly :)

    Lavagulin 16 Drinking

    Thanks for all the advice. I just finished my first "finger" of this amazing libation. I drank it neat and was expecting a lot of heat, but found that it was incredibly smooth. I took very small sips and held them in my mouth for a second or two to get a sense of mouth feel and experience the...

    My First Mold!

    Just went to load a pipe and noticed that one of my jars looked funky. It's full of white web like mold. I've had this tobacco for quit some time and haven't even opened it for a couple months. All of the jars and lids I use get run through the dishwasher on the sanitize setting so I doubt it...

    Lavagulin 16 Drinking

    My wife bought me a bottle of Lavagaulin 16 six years ago and I've never opened it. I tried Scotch once when I was about 24 and I wasn't manly enough for it. 30 plus years later and I'm still intimidated. I recently scored some Vintage Syrian Latakia and I don't know why, but I want to see...
