    Stuck On Virginia

    I don't know why but VAs or VaPers are my go to everyday mostly the VaPer variety because straight VA can be a bit 1 dimensional. I've currently been stuck on Cringle Flake 2022 and a home blend of about 80/20 PS LNF rubbed out and long cut perique chopped not pulverized but chopped, really...

    Sorry Dunhill, I don’t get you…

    I was gonna invite him to to sample some home blends I've made. But hey it figures the 1 pipe smoker in a 60 mile radius of me that I know of on this forum had to be the "Great Cornholio" 😆 🤣 😂 ahhhhh I'm dieing laughing for real.

    I didn't mean it had to be closed immediately or because i said so. Just saying it might be time, if you didn't agree I wouldn't have any issue either. Just pointing it out 😆 but good to know thank you

    Birth Year Pipe

    Yup if your Pete has any metal fittings it should be stamped with a letter which signifies year made. They have had to change the font over the years do to the alphabet but it still applies.

    I think those of us who wanted to learn something from this thread did. We also learned alot about our fellow forum members, so I would chalk this up to a successful thread. Thank you all who actually had a constructive opinion and not a conceded remark. This thread can be closed thank you mods.

    I'm a Fanatic

    I'm currently living in acamper with the wife and kiddos till my property in nambe is ready to move in. We have been "glamping" for about a year now but it's actually great!!! We are creating memories as a family and my kids will have some cool stories to tell the grandchildren someday.

    Thank you for the info its good to know I can agree to an extent. Life happens way to much to straight out ban someone because they bid on something and couldn't pay. 1 time ok 2 times a warning 3rd time ban, I think as an auction site losing 1 customer is worse then losing 1 seller because if...

    I think it twas a joke. History lesson time: Back when there were kingdom's and empires even back to early native american tribes, a jester or joker was one of the most important people in said society. If you can't make jokes or criticize about something then it's not really an issue, But if...

    And that sir was the point of this. I gave it my shot noticed some weird things and thought I'd share what i found, in hopes it will help somebody else some day. If your wealthy and have mad cash to spend like some people on there obviously then by all means buy the whole site. But if your a...

    What you stated is only part of what I've noticed, which is not the issue that has me wondering if anybody else has noticed. But also the fact that it may or may not be the individual selling an item also bidding on the item they are selling with a separate account. The only way to find that out...

    Completely different conversation, if someone's first option is to trash somebody or something on a forum before contacting the person or business first is just dumb. I'm sure it's happened before but that's not what this is. How many times have I seen people trash dunhill or hell what about the...

    I If that's the case and you can't pass judgment then what are Google reviews for? It's a forum, If we didn't have conversations like this and WAYS or any other topic there wouldn't be a need for sponsors.

    Nobody has trashed the site itself, in which I think the site is a necessity. But it's just like talking about quality of tobacco or miss drilled pipes or whatever. It's a "conversation" that is leaning towards what the OP was ment for. A discussion about weather or not this is a common...

    I'm a Fanatic

    I would recommend "Chenets Cake" twas the first tinned tobacco I ever tried. It was about 2 years old when purchased bulging like crazy. When I opened the tin I was hooked from that moment. The only thing that ever smelled like humans remains to me was a full 5 pounds of whole leafe perique...

    Disappointing QC

    I would just say that we as humans are imperfect so the things we make even with precise machinery will eventually produce something imperfect. Chalk it up to humans being human.

    The 1 B&M near me that has a good selection when it has esoterica limits to 1 8oz bag per and 2 tins per or 4 tins with no bag purchase. I mean it is an honest way to do business. I'm under the assumption alot of B&M owners don't know about the extent of the mark ups on the aftermarket and if...

    💯 what happend to me, and now we are getting somewhere. It's easy to tell too because when you check the bid history, it's you and one other person and it's really obvious at that point.

    It's all speculation until enough instances add up to a conclusion. What that conclusion is, we may never know.

    No No it won't help in terms of people being people, but if you think having a discussion about this kind of stuff on a site dedicated to pipes and tobacco is pointless you can have back your 2cents because this discussion ain't for you obviously.
