  1. Pipe & a walk

    STG Enough Already, Chicken Little, Or What?

    I appreciate that sir, thank you. I think I'm a bit overly sensitive about this subject after having the same discussion at my local cigar/pipe shop with a pair of Captain Black only smoker's who were less than sympathetic.

    STG Enough Already, Chicken Little, Or What?

    When Canada becomes the 51st State that won't matter:)

    STG Enough Already, Chicken Little, Or What?

    Glad I could help, but I'm actually American. I just happen to live in Canada presently.

    STG Enough Already, Chicken Little, Or What?

    I am one of the people who are a bit worked up over this STG fiasco, but I am mindful of the people who are losing their livelihood with the shuttering of Sutliff. For consumers losing our favorite blends(Seattle Pipe Club, Per Jenson's Pipe Force) we don't need our concerns put into...

    STG Enough Already, Chicken Little, Or What?

    Better yet, what was "the tactic he used"? Would you agree that it was relative privation? My point is that he has no legitimate point. One can always make the claim that anyone's concerns short of dying are trivial compared to the suffering of others as a means of shutting down conversation...

    That's an interesting theory. I think you may be right.

    STG Enough Already, Chicken Little, Or What?

    That's infuriating to hear! The arguments for cigars and pipe tobacco are the same(as far as I know), so how could law makers justify such different laws for each? In Canada all tobacco get's lumped together. Which, while aggravating, is at least consistent.

    STG Enough Already, Chicken Little, Or What?

    We need to make pipe smoking great again. And I think to do that we're going to need some better looking people to represent us:)

    STG Enough Already, Chicken Little, Or What?

    It seems like a natural fit that would make both groups stronger.

    STG Enough Already, Chicken Little, Or What?

    Firstly, I did not call anyone pathetic. I called the logic he was employing pathetic. Someone needed to say it. I could have used a softer tone, but the snowball effect of likes and "spot on's" called for something stiff.

    I know where to get it, but apparently I need to post a lot more to be able to sell it here...

    Canadian Import Advice Help - Tax was 200%!

    That's how it works. The federal and provincial governments don't want Canadians buying cheap(er) tobacco from outside of the country so they impose a tobacco import tax so that you learn not to do it again. Most of the tax is provincial, and it varies by province.

    STG Enough Already, Chicken Little, Or What?

    All of you who liked that ridiculous comment need to give your head a shake! Troutface is using what's called the 'fallacy of relative privation' https://academy4sc.org/video/fallacy-of-relative-privation-all-problems-are-relative/

    STG Enough Already, Chicken Little, Or What?

    Invoking the old- you have no right to complain about 'X' because there's "starving children in Africa" logic is beyond pathetic. Hopefully your concern for the world's hungry reminds you that you're a good person the next time you catch your own reflection in the mirror. No, people have a...

    Was this breath taking horde located in Canada by chance?
