    FDA Regulations - Letters to Congress

    We are all aware of the FDA regulations that were released May 5th 2016 (to be implemented August 8th 2016). If you have taken the time to review the regulations it is pretty clear the impact these will have on small businesses. What NATO (National Association of Tobacco Outlets) has come up...

    I Am a YouTube Pipe Presenter

    I am part of the YouTube Pipe Community: Proudly and unashamedly. No, that is not a misprint. I am proudly and by my own free will a “member” of the YTPC. I know some might be assuming I am therefore an unshowered, bearded, idiot who loves awful tobacco and does not mind smoking expensive...
