Cup O Joes High Peaks Blends
Regarding the Cup O Joes High Peaks blends. Are these blends that the folks at Cup O Joes blend themselves, or are they renaming 1Q, MV-1000, etc?

Question Regarding Recent Meerschaum Purchase
I picked up an estate Meerschaum on eBay recently. Cleaned it up and it smokes just fine. It has a metal fitting in the stem to secure it to the shank. How long ago did they switch from metal to plastic? I'm curious how old this pipe might be.- HitchensDog

When To Stop Adding To Cellar
Have any of you reached a point where your cellar is complete and you have started working your way through the tins and jars you've accumulated? I've been slowly stocking up for retirement (a few years to go yet) and am just curious if any of you have reached that point. If not, do you have...- HitchensDog

Significant Change After Three Months
I enjoy straight Virginia's and realized I'd never tried Capstan Blue before. I picked up a tin about three months or so ago. I immediately opened it, dried out a flake and had a nice smoke. I put the rest in a mason jar after letting it dry a bit, and sort of forgot about it these past three...- HitchensDog
