    Haunted Bookshop pricing?

    Indeed, this is what I love about pipe smoking. Unlike cigars, even the finest pipe tobaccos are priced within reach of the common man. And we all respect the smoke from a good cob. There's something very egalitarian about it.

    Do Differences in Meershaum Pipes Quality Exist ad/or Matter?

    Beginners - do not make the mistake I did. Bought off Amazon from a small maker who also advertised on a few Facebook groups. The price was right and I figured, how hard could it be to make a simple pipe? I'm not picky about stems. Well I quickly learned how bad it could be. First of all, the...

    4Noggins - Tobacconists - Missing In Action?

    Thanks ULamp! Despite my order list looking somewhat similar to yours, I guess I'm not on the official mailing list. And I agree, no issues on my end, count me as a very satisfied customer.

    4Noggins - Tobacconists - Missing In Action?

    FWIW, Cigars City appears to be owned and operated by the same team as 4Noggins, and has much better cigar selection.

    4Noggins - Tobacconists - Missing In Action?

    FWIW, recently I had to contact 4Noggins about a package that was delayed and stopped at the border and got a reply within hours. I've put through maybe 15 orders so far this year and no problems at all, I'm very happy with my experience with them.

    Why smoke Burley?

    Reading Going Down Tobacco Road right now! Gene Hoots has a substack newsletter I would recommend as well. I have actually spoken with him and he is a great guy with a lot of insider knowledge to share. https://substack.com/profile/31883089-gene-hoots

    Cellaring: How Much is Too Much?

    We've had a couple of cigar booms in the past few decades. Do you think we will ever see a pipe tobacco boom? I have a friend who has maybe $20k of cubans stored up, which he admits he will never get around to smoking. So far it's been a great investment for him because prices just keep going up.

    The low Cost of Living High on the hog

    Wish I could say the same. Don't move to Canada!

    Looking To Speak With Other Canadians Who Order From SP.com

    Sorry to resurrect an old thread but a search brought me here and a few of the intended audience for my question are likely already following. So I just had a package from 4N stopped by Canada customs for a few weeks and then rejected and returned to sender. I would have been wiling to pay...

    More New Forums Members Than Ever? Why Is That?

    Covid plays a part in it for sure. The pandemic found me hanging outside a lot with friends, and smoking cigars became a thing we did together. I had always had maybe 10-20 cigars a year, but it was becoming a lot more - a few per week. I found that cigars often took too long to smoke, and the...
