    Cleaning House And Bout To Unload!

    So..... I’ve decided to downsize my cellar, and hopefully make a few bucks. All of this will soon be going on the market. I have a little bit of everything, and it’s all got at least 6 years of age on it. Don’t worry about ole Dan though, I’ve got at least that much more in reserve. I just don’t...

    Vapes And Flakes

    I’ve been getting a few guys at work into pipes here lately. One is a nail smoker, one is a cigar guy, and the other is a vape “smoker”. He is also a former nail smoker, and occasionally smokes a cigar. I gave him several samples to try, and all the pointers I could think of. The samples were a...

    Preferred Pipes And Methods For Flakes

    Over the years, I’ve come to like certain things a certain way. Flakes are one of them. I prefer mine completely rubbed out in most cases. Especially when it comes to Virginias and Va/Pers. I’ll occasionally leave a little more “chunky” pieces in my English/Balkan flakes. I also don’t mind...

    I’ve Lost My First Love......

    Having been away from the forum for quite some time, and having no need to order tobacco for even longer, I was heartbroken to hear about McClelland. Their tobaccos were the first ones I fell in love with, and still remain my favorites. I’ve got quite a large cellar and have had no need to...

    Have A Beer With Your Baccy!

    Until the last year or so, I really loathed drinking beer wile smoking my pipes. But then I discovered some much better beer than the old swill I was used to. In the last year or so, I've discovered that English/Balkan blends go well with a good Stout, Porter, or Coffee Milk Stout. I've also...

    Where Did My Post Go?

    My "For Sale" post has disappeared. Now granted, when I first posted it, I think I accidentally posted it under "General Discussion" and didn't realize that I had done so until later. I was looking for it to update it, and now it's gone. I can't find it anywhere, and I don't have any PM from...

    Any Big Bore Firearms Fans Out There?

    I have many hobbies, pipes, motorcycles, beer, fishing, hunting, hiking, camping, ect. But the one I've had longer than any is guns. Big or small, I love them all! But in recent years I've really become a big fan of the big bores, wether it be handguns, rifles or shotguns. I love the...

    Long Time.... No See.

    Hey guys, I've been away for a while now, but I've still been lurking from time to time. It's good to be hanging around again. I've missed you guys, and look forward to posting again, and seeing some old faces (so to speak). I've had some health issues that have surfaced, due to some old...

    We Have A New Convert!

    I overheard a guy at work the other day talking about cigars. I jumped in and told him I smoke pipes, and proceeded to show him some pics of my collection. We got to talking about them, and the vast variety of tobacco available for pipes. Anyway, I suggested he give the pipe a try. He told me...

    A Stressful Night At Work, And A Blissful Smoke.

    Let's just say it's been a very bad weekend at work. Everything that could go wrong did, and me, my partner, and the night shift floor supervisor, have had to defend our integrity because of some idiots saying things that are not true! All in all, it's just been plain BAD! So this morning...

    Any Car Restorers Out There?

    I'm just starting the restoration of my grandfather's 1972 F-100 Sport Custom, that he bought new in 1971. My dad just gave it to me a couple of months ago, and I'm planning on doing a frame-off resto on it. It's been neglected for a long time, and is a shadow of its former self, but it's not...

    What's Your "Top 10" Beers List?

    I thought this would be a fun little topic! It's always fun to see how different our tastes can be with any number of things, wether it be tobacco, liquor, pipes, cars, motorcycles, guns, ect. I know there are a lot of "Beer" guys on here, some are old school, some like mainstream "craft"...

    An Uneventful 5000th Post.

    Well, this is my 5000th post. Normally I show some pics of how my collection and cellar have progressed between each 1000 posts, but my computer is down right now, so I can't post pics at the moment. It's just as well, since my collection/cellar hasn't grown that much since my 4000th post...

    When, And Why, Did McClelland Change The Name Of Blue Mountain?

    I've been very busy this summer and haven't had much time to spend on the forum. I also haven't placed any TAD orders in quite some time. Ever since I hit the 50+ pound mark with my cellar, I've slowed way down on both buying and smoking (I've been letting some of my baccy get some age on it)...
