    Plans for IPSD

    Stopping by Nat Sherman to restock a bit, then on to De La Concha to celebrate with the NYPC fellows.

    There's Them and Us'Uns

    Great article and great voice in it, Fred. It's funny; going back to Cope's Tobacco Plant articles from the late 19th century, one will find that things have stayed the same much more than they've changed.

    Tea & Tobacco - 2nd Article by Romeowood

    You know, there ain't nothing like it, Shain. Actually, over this last winter season, I've consumed far more tea than coffee--highly unusual for me, as I'm someone with a wee bit of blood in their coffee stream--and have made many little "flavor discoveries" of my own. Being able to slug back a...

    We Now Have Pipe Cartoons - Yay!

    What a coup! What an awesome addition to the site :clap:

    Where to start for tin/brand name tobacco?

    An excellent start is at the sister site Luxury Tobacco Reviews, where you can peruse blends according to genre, which I find very handy. A great tip for any review site is to find someone who reviewed a tobacco you know you like, and check out what other tobaccos they've reviewed and liked as...

    Higher Tobacco Taxes for Cigars & Pipe Tobacco Proposed by NY ... Again

    A 2oz tin of pipe tobacco in NYC already costs $18-22–which is why I do all of my shopping elsewhere. Walk around long enough and you will witness NYC’s newest cottage industry–guys selling packs of cigarettes out of their cars or from a plastic bag in the basket of their bicycles. I still try...

    A few tips on Aromatics

    Smooth and slow are your best bets, as stated. Check the availability of Borkum Riff at your local tobacconist as well--an excellent line of "OTC" (or, as I prefer, "mass market") tobaccos that are very solid Danish-style aromatics. I'll have a review of them up soon, in fact. And as regards...

    Wonderful News From Frank

    That's a great update John, looking forward to having him back on the boards :clap:

    dungeons and dragons books

    G1-2-3 Against the Giants is a personal favorite--memories of my dwarven fighter riding on the back of a charmed fire giant into the climactic battle still give me that warm fuzzy feeling. Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth was awesome too. Heck, all of the S-series were. Any adventure I've played at...

    Plugs?

    Triple Play--the VA is much more upfront sweet in comparison to JKP in this one. HIghly recommended.

    dungeons and dragons books

    Sweet! Sounds like you got yourself a campaign. :clap: Mark, I didn't know you played as well! Now we have another topic to geek out on and x-atlantic trade :lol:

    dungeons and dragons books

    @Ich--I love the flexibility and open-ended nature of the 1st ed. rulebooks; it's more story driven and less codified. Of course, you have to have a DM you can place your faith in. I started with the Mentzer sets, which I still have a huge affinity for, but to me 1st ed is the essence of D&D. I...

    dungeons and dragons books

    Guess I ain't growed up yet. I still campaign, this one going on 7 years. 1st Edition rocks! And we have verifiable women in the party. As for their street value, none of the ones pictured will go over $20. If you have a Deities & Demigods early printing it can fetch 4-5 times that. /remove...

    Keeping Your ashes?

    After I read that I snorted laughing, with a pipe in my gob naturally...and discovered that ash makes a horrible keyboard cleanser. :oops:

    We're Moving

    Wow, that sucks. The Machine, once started, is really only concerned with churning profit, sadly. I wish you guys all the best, may a fair wind of fortune blow your way.

    The only thing I can say is that she's a keeper. Harasho! :clap:

    Pipes Magazine Rates JackKnife Ready Rubbed a 93! (Or 4.5 stars)

    @flyfishn -- I totally agree, though for fullness of flavor I'd even put it ahead of the ropes (at least the ones ive tried) While any review is going to be completely subjective, my hope is that the 100-point scale would differentiate between “mm, that’s good” and “wow, that’s good”; it’s all...

    What Are You Smoking? Happy New Year 2012! II

    The entire Borkum Riff line all week, almost to excess. Easing into the weekend with Frenchy's Sunzabitches in the Chacom twins.
