    Off-Earth Pipe Smokers?

    Interesting that they found a planet that is more suitable to complex life than Earth 8O

    Off-Earth Pipe Smokers?

    Hey, you never know! Apparently research is beginning to calculate how many other planets within our galaxy could support life... whatever algorithm they are using seems to indicate at least 100 million other viable planets. Maybe, on one of them, Mixture 79 somehow tastes good due to trace...

    Slowing Down For The Summer.

    Enjoy the summer - pop in from time to time and we'll be happy to have you back when it gets cold again :mrgreen:

    Prince Albert/Carter Hall

    I enjoy both PA and CH. My grandfather smoked a lot of CH. I give the slight edge to PA.

    Fascinating read. Thanks everyone for the information they've shared.

    Never Forget - Memorial Day 2014

    Sometimes I still miss being in the Army. Plenty of times it wasn't fun, but when it was fun, it was really fun. Memorial Day is always kind of strange for me. Three good friends of mine fell to an Iraqi IED just south of Baghdad along with their interpretor (a heroic guy, educated fellow who...

    World No Tobacco Day - May 31

    This might just prompt me to actually go buy a nice cigar. It's been like a year since I have had one - might be nice to break up the pipes with something a bit extra special.

    My First Meerschaum. A Fikri Baki!

    Glad you're enjoying it - it only gets better and better as it colors! I love my Baki, and I hope you love yours too.

    Oak Bog Morta Wood

    I have two from Mark Stewart, back when he was making them. I enjoy them occasionally. It's kind of like smoking a type of stone rather than a type of wood. Quite durable material, and latakia blends seem to shine in them. I would encourage people to try one at some point in their life. Sort of...

    The After Midnight Club

    Novicemaker, are we neighbors? Can't find any location data for you... Congratulations on the baby coming! Nothin' wrong with being a bit old fashioned at times, and definetly nothin' wrong with wanting a cigar. Might want to upgrade from Parodis for such an occasion, lol. Plenty of good places...

    9 million pounds of bad meat

    "Investigators now believe that Rancho was buying diseased dairy cows and processing them when government inspectors weren’t there. After the cows were killed, employees would hide the warning signs of cancer by trimming off diseased parts, using a fake stamp of approval or even replacing the...

    Meerschaum Fans... Talk To me.

    I love my meerschaum, and find it different than smoking a briar. Tobacco blends taste different in it - similiar, but small differences, and I find it fascinating. I also agree that watching it color with time and use is incredibly addicting. I have seen some color without doing the melt wax...

    The Newest Pipe: A Father's Day Gift For Someone

    Cosmic, that is absolutely brilliant work! Maybe the melting effect is becoming more boring for you to create (and I can understand an artistic wish to be more diverse), but it is still stunning to me - I havn't seen anything like that before. PM incoming :D

    By Her Logic, White People's Use of Tobacco is Offensive?!?!?

    From my experiences, you'd get a whole slew of varying answers dependant upon which Tribe is involved... the traditions vary greatly, and some Tribes uphold them more thoroughly than others. And even then, the people involved in the selling of tobacco may have different personal opinions than...

    The After Midnight Club

    I think you will find that a good quality aromatic pipe tobacco will blow away those cheap flavored cigars :D If you want a good, sweet-ish, real cigar... check a CVS or Walgreens for Parodi cigars. They're natural maduro leaf cigars, manufactored in Scranton PA (also where Zippos are made, and...

    Molto Dolce in 8oz Tins

    I think you guys are likely on the right thought process. They're probably doing great business on the blend, and offering it in an 8 oz tin or bulk would cut into the profit margin on a popular blend. They're playin' it smart with a good thing. I havn't tried Molto Dolce, but I probably will...

    The After Midnight Club

    Been meaning to try Berry Cobbler for a long, long time now... sounds like good stuff.

    A Return To The Valley Of Darkness

    That's terrible. How far we have fallen... Thankfully, we have the etailers for those of us in such situations. Good choices that you picked out! :puffy:
