    New Box Pass Thread

    The decline of Western civilization notwithstanding, it's just a bunch of pre-owned tobacco in the end, so nothing to lose sleep over. Jud, I'll pack up a mighty good box for you. I'm still waiting to hear from a few people that were coming up soon on the list, so if you haven't sounded off...

    New Box Pass Thread

    Thank you, those who have responded to my PMs. I have good news and bad news. Well the bad news is that the box seems to have hit one of the inevitable black holes. Disappointing development, but do not despair, forum members. The good news is, I'll be putting together a new box to send to Jud...

    New Box Pass Thread

    Hey Mick, taken care of. Thank you. The rest of you lot have received PMs requesting an update on your info. Everyone please remain patient, and fear not the worst--this will get sorted shortly. Remember I too have limits on my time. MODS: any chance this thread can get sticky-fied?

    New Box Pass Thread

    So here's the update: I tried unsuccessfully over the weekend to track down mthanded. The list I was forwarded from baron was incomplete as far as contact #s; I'll rectify this when I get back to my office this evening. Another update will follow.

    Hell of an article, cap'n. You realize, though, that the FDA file on you is getting thicker by the day.... :crazy:

    New Box Pass Thread

    UPDATE 4 SEP. 22:59 The box pass is with mthanded, and a forum member alerted me that we haven't had a post from him for the past 3 months. I'm following up on this, and will apprise you of any further developments here. MTHANDED--please do not leave us empty handed! (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)...

    Smoking Indoors?

    I smoke indoors, outdoors, and most anywhere I am. My place is permanently perfumed with the aromas of the last several thousand pipes, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

    Top 5 Burleys

    Interesting to see such consensus with the burleys. Off the top of my head: Burley London Blend is my genre-defining smoke, bar none Solani ABF Klassic Burley Kake Half & Half C&D's bulk white burley, my favorite home blending ingredient

    Sutliff, General Opinions?

    Like many in the hobby, I've had the chance to acquire sample tins from nearly every pipe show, pipe dinner, pipe parade or pipe function of any sort for that matter. They're establishing a real brand familiarity with me, and have been generous enough to say, in effect, "Here, try a sample of...

    New Box Pass Thread

    @barley - please fill out the requisite forms, in triplicate and double-stamped, to get on the waiting list for the queue to be considered for the box pass. (Just kidding, I'll sort it later when I'm in front of a computer) Gentle reminder to keep that box in transit, boys. If your name is up...

    Nutty Tasting Tobacco

    The Sutliff Great Outdoors I just reviewed was quite firmly in the nutty profile, actually. The tin description notes vanilla, and in the tin there is an undeniable aroma of anise; in the smoke, though, it's only lightly aromatic, and the topping serves to highlight the burley / cav's naturally...

    Adam Davidson Pipe & Comoy Pipe

    I was there for the tracing session in Chicago, and I'm duly amazed at how great Adam's interpretation came out. Bravo :clap:

    Welcome to the Great Outdoors (Tobacco Review)

    Thanks, eaglerico, I'm quite flattered you liked the pictures. Particularly because I'm trying to break out of the humdrum pipe still-life, and I was worried this image wouldn't scan with people--I'm really glad it did. And thanks Kevin for bolstering my personal mythology :D :mrgreen:

    Sure thing. Please note: I may alter the order of the last 5 names slightly to accommodate faster transit times (if you'll notice, Baron had arranged the list in more-or-less geographical proximity). Then again, I may not. Captainsousie (current) Gecko13 Mthanded Judcole Uberamerica Tab812...
