    Ok is it the bread

    I was also team sandwich and similarly debate did not sway opinions.

    Forgeries and Other Mysteries

    I understand my friend, in the province I live we can only have 1000 g of processed tobacco in our possession at any time and of course price is unreasonable. My cellar is mostly unprocessed whole leaf. With regards to whiskey, my practice results in a number of open bottles that might not age...

    Amazing find and incredible context provided by forum members. Always love the rich source of knowledge that is only available here.

    Where To Start: Classic (Codger) Blends

    I’d get some PA and Carter Hall and do those two first in that order and then the order you have them in.

    Nothing Could Convince Me to go Ballooning, But I do Like to See Them.

    At one time my sister’s boyfriend’s father was a hot air balloon pilot. He had his own balloon and business and a corporate sponsorship to fly a balloon for a champagne company in events at ballon festivals. Sometimes when he had room we would go up in flights. It is a very different experience...

    Your Favorite TV Series

    Great lists, not sure on what basis I could narrow mine to a reasonable length to post here. You have great taste, gentlemen!

    Love at First Puff

    Probably the new pipe that best fits the bill is a Julius Vesz bent apple. The estate would be a 1962 Brebbia Christmas Special Make.

    Ok is it the bread

    Important question, recently at work we had a go at another more specific sandwich question - is a hot dog a sandwich? The determination was very split. These are some emotionally charged areas.

    Forgeries and Other Mysteries

    I can thankfully say I have never had this experience. Probably because I crack every bottle of whiskey I purchase shortly after purchase for the “quality control” department to work their magic.

    A Tobacco Storage Dream Come True

    Nice cabinet, I have always wanted a barrister’s cabinet. It is a great idea for tobacco storage. We will be downsizing in a few years. It may work nicely into the plans. Congratulations!

    Anybody Remember the Old Guys Smoking Outside . . .?

    My uncle and another fellow got caught smoking by a nun. She asked them if they still had the makings, they said yes. She rolled herself a fine quality smoke as fast as you please, returned the tobacco and papers, admonished the lads and carried on. Not sure if she was so upset they were smoking...

    How Do You Take Your Coffee?

    In the office I don’t drink any, just water. Working at home, we are hybrid, I drink 3-5 cups a day. Not particular how it’s made, prefer it strong. Used to drink it black no sugar until I learned that a protein in dairy bonds with tannins in coffee to reduce staining of teeth. Now I add a bit...

    Upside Down Pipe Storage on Rack

    Saw an early 1960s movie last week and there was a pipe stand on a desk. Some of the pipes were stem up, some stem down. Stem down has been mentioned in literature before TV, movies and the Internet. No need to worry about the stem down myth.

    Brigham Pipes

    For the 4, including shipping, I paid a total of $300 and also got 2 more no name briar pipes and a six pipe rack/humidor that I will need to make a top for.

    Brigham Pipes

    I’ve been getting a lot more selective in my pipe purchases but sometimes the ones you go for will come in bunches. In the last few weeks I’ve picked up the following from top to bottom. 1980s fully rusticated Norseman 1980s partially rusticated Norseman 1970s Valhalla with replacement stem...

    Irish Shamrock Souvenir Pipes

    Some really beautiful pipes! Cool that you have one that is like your Dad’s tattoos. I have an Edwardian lady meer that is similar to my Great-Grandmother’s pose in her wedding picture.

    Hesitation to Pay for Smaller Pipes

    I don’t think about the size of the pipe compared to price when making a decision. It’s the design and what I like or want. I have a few small and a lot of medium and a few larger but no giants.

    As a Canadian, I will watch for the appeal decision.

    Elgo Plastic Bricks!

    We had huge boxes of Lego and meccano. Maybe my Dad over compensating because he never had toys as a kid. It was a lot of fun. Elgo is new to me as well.
