    Sons Of Anarchy Box Set.

    Shameless is awesome, especially the earlier seasons. Been watching the UK version on Amazon and that’s good too.

    Sons Of Anarchy Box Set.

    Although I watched all of SoA, these three are definitely a lot better. Better Call Saul, the prequel to Breaking Bad, is worth watching if you haven't seen that yet.

    My Estervals Order Was Sent By USPS To Customs And Has been Shipped Back To Germany

    Offering an option to buy insurance to ensure delivery is something that some overseas tobacconists offer to their US customers when ordering from them (talking cigars, here). It's an extra charge that the customer can either pay or you can roll the dice and risk this kind of mishap. If...

    My Estervals Order Was Sent By USPS To Customs And Has been Shipped Back To Germany

    Before SmokingPipes brought in Semois, it was a real trick trying to buy it and get it shipped to the US. I managed to do it once, and the store in France included a birthday card in the package which I thought was a pretty funny "strategy." I wouldn't be shocked if SP were to bring in the HU...

    My Estervals Order Was Sent By USPS To Customs And Has been Shipped Back To Germany

    My cc company rejects overseas charges almost every time, but then I get a call or text asking if the charge is valid. After I confirm it's legit, the vendor needs to run the card again, and it then goes through.

    MM Pipe Repair Question

    Never heard this prior to last night, but apparently you shouldn't smoke a cob to the bottom. This was from Phil Morgan of Missouri Meerschaum on the Great Lakes Smoke Show.

    New (Expensive) Pipe With Oxidised Stem

    Yeah, the stem is oxidized due to how it was displayed- just needs to be buffed. If you’re not set up to do it, send it back and ask them to buff it for you. It will be 100% after that.

    My Family Heirloom Pipes Are Finally Back!

    Those before and after shots are awesome. I’ve used Anthony a few times for assorted higher end pipes and he actually has a couple more that I recently sent to him as well. He does great work. His restoration of that case for those pipes is pretty cool. Not sure if anyone does better than he...

    The Future of Tobacco?

    Tobacco has had enemies in govt on and off for hundreds of years. It does feel like the heat has gotten progressively hotter the last couple of decades, but it might just be a cyclical thing and will rebound again. How long it will take to start seeing thar uptick is a good question though.

    If you haven’t seen White Gold, that’s pretty funny, too.

    What Are You Listening To? (August 2020)

    Got this on iTunes when I was watching the Office (UK). Ricky Gervais is awesome. Watching season 2 of After Life now. I watched the Office after realizing that Shameless was a US reboot of the original UK Shameless. Since then been on a little UK TV show binge watch.

    What Are You Listening To (July 2020)

    They were a Chicago band. One morning, early or mid 90's, I was up early for work and getting gas around 6AM, the lead singer came up and asked if I knew where he could find an open liquor store. I was able to point him in the right direction and happily did LOL
