OK Everyone. Enough Is Enough
I wonder if I’m still missing something. I totally get that if I hope to circumvent duty/tax or exceed stated volumes (usually denoting personal use over commercial) when ordering pipe tobacco for delivery between two territories so save money then I run a risk of the delivery being...- TinCup

OK Everyone. Enough Is Enough
I never realised these type of things were being considered. Is that just those two couriers or every courier? Although I wonder how far I'd be prepared to drive to collect say 2lbs of tobacco...- TinCup

Cigars - Random Irritations
Now I'm intrigued, thanks. The place I usually buy from in UK sells them so I can add onto next tobacco order (even though I won't get that for 5 months) Would you say the calssico or antico to try first? (my preference is for mild-med & smooth)- TinCup

What Would You Like To See Make A Comeback
Also, not sure what you guys use over there but in supermarkets the issuing of plastic carrier bags was replaced with folks having to buy these industrial strength ‘bags for life’ It’s not really that I want the plastic carrier bag to make a comeback, more so that we need to return to that time...- TinCup

What Would You Like To See Make A Comeback
I’d also like to see the practice of repairing damaged/faulty household items instead of dumping them and buying new replacements It’s really not that long ago since a time when if your toaster, TV or refrigerator etc developed a fault you’d get it repaired because the people and the spares...- TinCup

What Would You Like To See Make A Comeback
The consensus in the coat V cape chat was mostly about the lack of pockets in the latter, so they agreed that if some kind of inner pocket could be incorporated into a cape then it could be a winner ?- TinCup

How Many Fellow Pipe Smokers Can Identify With This?
I fear the writer forgot to add 'insert canned laughs here' twenty times when transcribing the lyrics, unfortunately that's the overriding memory after listening to it :eek: So that just made me pop off to youtube and listen to my favourite 'pick-me-up' song for whenever i need a lift... enjoy- TinCup

What Would You Like To See Make A Comeback
Was listening to a radio show on the drive to work this morning and they talked briefly about the popularity (or lack thereof) of pipe smokers in today's world and whether it might make a comeback given the lack of under 30's pipe smoking these days, they then mentioned another couple of items...- TinCup

Should I Smoke Them?
Thinking about the choice again and if it’s in anyway a value/prestige thing then it really depends on how famous (or infamous) BROBS is or is likely to be in future and the impact of that notoriety on those pipes to the next owner Would you rather have a waistcoat John Wayne owned but never... -
Should I Smoke Them?
First off they look great If I owned them I'd fire them up (it's not like they're pez dispensers?) but I'd still treat that first smoke a little special (not just the regular tobacco in the regular spot) I'd also be proud to just own them.... but I think the urge to smoke them would end up... -

How Do You Reconcile With Pipe Smoking's Health Risks?
I popped over to antler.com to see if the moose had a post asking what they all think about the inherent health risks of wandering around the forests in alaska... Couldn't see anything, so if they're not worrying about it you shouldn't either ?- TinCup

Is Online Shopping A Good Thing?
Oh it definitely has its benefits but its getting closer to having all our eggs in one basket, so if anything happens to the one or two big boys or they make business/strategic decisions we don't agree with, we'll have no independent retailers or alternatives to turn to- TinCup

I Wasn't Going To Post This But....
Unfortunately, this is so true but it’s also a chicken and egg thing, who dropped who first? Did the local store/bank/supplier stop the personal touch first and treat everyone as a numbered account while shaving margins left & right or did the customer jump ship first to save a quid or two when...- TinCup

Is Online Shopping A Good Thing?
I posted to read opinions & thoughts of others, so it’s not really irrelevant how you feel… unless you believe your opinion is of no value, which it terms of turning the clock back I totally understand Re economics, when I was 18 I had a monthly disposable income and I spent it, 35 years on its...- TinCup

Is Online Shopping A Good Thing?
Not just for Pipes/Tobacco but overall. We’ve had it for a number of years now, what’s your opinion? I think where there’s no physical product involved it’s generally a good thing (electronic files/TV streaming etc) but I can’t quite see that the positives outweigh the negatives yet when there...- TinCup

Which Side of The Mouth?
I have it on good authority that Gandalf the Grey was both a ‘righty’ & lefty for his pipe while Gandalf the White is a lefty through & through Hobbits are typically 'rightys' while Dwarves are ambidextrous (as we all know) Make of that what you will :eek:- TinCup
