    Favorite Whole Album

    “Crosby, Stills & Nash” (1969) and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young – “Déjà vu” (1970). I would put on my head phones and listen to these albums for hours. Connie Francis - “Connie Francis Sings Modern Italian Hits” (1962) I especially liked Al di là, I could not get enough of that song. “Encore...

    Tinbids Observations

    You are correct. The seller pays the TinBids commission.

    PipesAndCigars.Com: Are They Trustworthy?

    It is really unfortunate so many members have had problems with P&C. I have purchased from P&C for many many years and have never had any problems. I guess maybe it depends on which day you place an order (luck of the draw 😀).

    A new source of Perique tobacco in Laos with the help of Tsuge Pipe Company and L.A. Poche

    I am curious how it will compare to St. James Perique. I see several comparison test coming.

    Pipe Tobacco Market - A Play in One Act

    I guess I had better close my selling account on TinBids and hold on to my cellar for now. :(

    SSJONES Life Update

    Here in SE Texas I use Amdro Fire Ant Bait. If they are Fire Ants they will take it into the nest and eventually feed it to the Queen and it will sterilize her (them). It may only work on that hill (nest) but it keeps them out of my yard. I think they only move to my neighbors' yard.

    Why Did I Start Smoking a Pipe?

    I wanted to help my wife quit smoking cigarettes, she was pregnant with our son. She was quitting cold turkey so I thought I would quit so I wouldn’t be a temptation. Well she made it ok but I didn’t last two days, I had to have something to satisfy my oral gratification I guess. The nicotine...

    What Pipe Brand Don’t You Own But Want To?

    Dunhill. Never have been able to justify the grain/size to price ratio. I guess I'm just cheap.

    SSJONES Life Update

    Congratulations on your move and best of luck at your new home. The Louisiana Gulf coast is a wonderful location (except for the Hurricanes). You will be close to the home of Perique, maybe you will get to visit the Martins' Perique farm in Paulina or the L. A. Poche factory. Great to have you...

    Best Blending Perique?

    A few years ago (late 1990s - early 2000s), before I started using the Perique I purchased from Percy Martin, I was purchasing my Perique from several local B&Ms and internet sources trying to find one that was at lease close to what we had in the 70s, Just for Him, Lane Limited from CB Perkins...

    Tell Me about Sutliff Match Victorian

    Since the early 70’s Elizabethan has been one of my top two blends (Three Nuns was included but has dropped off for obvious reasons) and Sutliff’s Match Victorian is very close to the 70’s version. Although I do add a touch of Percy Martin’s Perique to make it (IMO) a little closer to the 70’s...

    Who was born in 1961?

    How about "re-born", I joined the Marines in 1961 at 17 and man did I feel like I had been re-born.:eek:

    I have no choice, I live in SE Texas. But I smoke a lot no matter what the temperature.

    Canada Pipe Tobacco Question

    Agree. Whole leaf unprocessed tobacco is allowed to be shipped into Canada through the mail. I believe there may be 5% to 15% tax. You can developed your own blends. I have done it and it worked out ok. You will have to remove the stems and shred it but it is not to difficult, just a little time...
