The first pipe store I visited and got a pipe from was Little Brown Smoke Shop in Yakima, where I was raised. I think the store closed.
But Indian Reservations are good places to buy to tobacco. No state tax.
“Rye whiskey” -old folk song sung by many musicians.
“I eat when I’m hungry. I drink when I’m dry. And if a tree don’t fall on me I’ll live ‘till I die.”
I look at the broad categories of Trademark, Castello, Collection, etc.s
Same. I know what general category my pipes are (Trademark, Castello, Collection, etc), the bowl dimensions, and the total length.

It’s a devil anse smooth with a real egg shape and a Cumberland stem. I’m very happy with the way it smokes.
Stick to one or three blends for a long long time. Variety of choice is the killer of contentment. I tamed tobacco purchasing a lot by focusing my smoking on a few same blends for a while now. Now, other blends don’t do it for me.
I don’t have an objective list to base off of, but in practice the only Virginia I smoke is all that fits in Old Joe Krantz and Haunted Bookshop, and I smoke these only once in a long while. I’ll smoke Daughters and Ryan’s Two Timer Regular for weeks straight. It’s fantastic burley.
