    The blessing and curse of Bohemian Scandal

    Yep it was a good blend while it lasted. The fire was an unfortunate turn of events. It has been a very long time since I had this blend. Sometimes it is better to not try these blends lol as once you fall in love with them one can never have them again.

    Cigarette Brands

    Mods are human and make mistakes also. If they want to let it go so be it, but it needs to be brought up next time the same rule is brought up when someone else posts off topic and against the same rule. Same rules should apply for everyone.

    I know its an old thread, but I was thinking about this today. I keep looking at a a Ser Jacopo pipe and can never seem to pull the trigger.

    Pipe Shapes Outside Your Comfort Zone

    Right now anything but a bent billiard or bent bulldog I avoid. SOme reason I have my eyes on these two shapes and love them. In the past I enjoyed a zulu and a straight bulldog and straight billiard.
