    Smoking indoors?

    I use two exhaust fans, have a Rabbit air purifier, and I've also installed a mini-split AC unit deducated to my smoking room and that's more than enough for me. Although I'm "inside", the room I smoke in is not connected to the rest of the house via the central heating and air conditioning, so...

    Dating for a Castello Sea Rock.

    Any other nomenclature on there such as a castle logo with numbers in it?

    Have You Noticed A Slow Down In Sales/Trading?

    That's true for me and a number of other guys I spoke with at the show. There's nothing worse than going to a show with no money in your pocket. Even if you go to a show and don't buy anything, it's nice knowing you could if you found something you didn't want to live without.

    NASPC

    I get both the hard copy and the pdf version now. I prefer the pdf because the pictures are in color, but I've also had the same reported experience of paying $10 and not receiving the digital edition until after I paid the $10 again. Oh well. Marc Dion's articles alone are worth more than...

    I love this album. It's rare that I encounter anyone that's even heard of them these days.

    Lifespan of Pipe Smokers

    I feel like we won’t get a true representation of the data until some of the more dead forum members chime in. Anyone have a ouija board?

    Castello Sea Rock

    The gem or bar is not how you tell the age of a Castello. That usually indicates which market it was intended to be sold in. Castello will still, occasionally, use the gem in order to preserve that as a trademark. To find the date of a Castello, check to see if the Castle stamp has a number...

    Have You Noticed A Slow Down In Sales/Trading?

    It's anecdotal but my observation at the Chicago show this weekend was that sales of both pipes and tobacco were strong when the prices were reasonable. There was a table where a couple young guys were selling aged tins at probably 80% of the going rate and their tins were flying off the table...

    NY Gov Polls on Total Ban on Tobacco Sales

    California's income tax is progressive so the accuracy of this list depends entirely upon how much the earner is making. If you earn between $66,296 and $338,639, your California state income tax is 9.3% by itself. Add in property tax (about 1% for most of us?) and sales tax and you can easily...

    Is Pipe Smoking Fading Into History?

    I’m not an administrator of the group so I don’t know but the VPC is only a couple years old.

    Is Pipe Smoking Fading Into History?

    I would love to see actual data on the number of pipe smokers in the world. I'm sure the number now is significantly lower than it was in the 1950s. But I'm not convinced that the decline has been a straight line down. I think that it's entirely possible that we've bottomed out and are seeing...

    Rationalizing Spending A Lot On A Pipe?

    All the people saying "if you have to rationalize it, don't buy it" are absolutely correct. But if you really are looking for rationalizations, here are a couple you could try on for size: -You're supporting a pipe maker financially and allowing them to continue making great pipes and help pay...

    **CHALLENGE** Building a cellar of quality bulk tobaccos for $250.

    The hardest part about this challenge is that many of the bulks I'd buy have been sold out for a while. Of the bulk blends currently available on SPC, this is what I'd spend $250 on: 16 ounce box of HH Old Dark Fired - $73.20 16 ounce box of HH Pure Virginia - $73.20 16 ounces of Sutliff 507 C...

    Unfulfilled Pipe Order (Walt Cannoy)

    I haven't had any problems buying directly from Walt but none of the pipes I've bought from him were commissions. They were already made and listed on his site. I know he's had his run-ins with people in the community before but I personally don't have anything negative to say about him. He...
