    Uncooperative Pipes

    I don't have any of those leather stands, although I like the look of them. I've got a handful of the plastic folding ones that I use when smoking, if the pipe won't sit on it's own.

    Late Delivery on a Cold Night...

    Smoke it! No need to throw it away. I've had tins sit out in cold weather and freeze. No major ill effects that I could notice. What I do now though is bring the box in, but leave it unopened for a bit to try and wàrm the tins slowly. The freeze/thaw cycle might affect the tin seal. Check the...

    Yenidje Highlander Finds Its Way to EBay

    Christmas Cheer used to be released during summer and the first shipment would inevitably sell out, but it would be restocked a couple of times before December. Anyways, a tin of 2016 or 2017 CC showed up on ebay after that first shipment sold out everywhere, and irc it sold for much more than...

    Favorite Type/Brand of Knife

    I carry a Buck Companion pen knife with me nearly always. I also have a Queen folding knife made in the mid fifties. She's been well used. I carried it for a bit, but the scales are loose and it needs some repairs. My newest purchase is a Grohmann #4. They are located in Nova Scotia and make...

    What Blend Have You Discovered This Year?

    If there is a contender, it's St.Bruno. My first pouch arrived yesterday! Packed and lit with great anticipation, the first bowl wasn't bad at all. I will smoke a lot of it this weekend.

    Cob Pipe Question

    MM Legend or Missouri Pride are what I've got. They smoke very well. All cobs are beginner cobs in my opinion. Find a couple that you like, and smoke away. Some benefits of the Mighty Cob are: cheap, disposable, low maintenance, they smoke very dry, won't ghost so they're good for aro's etc. I...

    A Tobacco Product For The Antis

    ^ Yep. These are the folks who 'freshen' the air with chemical sprays rather than simply open a window. Unless the canned stuff really is better? Lol

    Scenario: You Have $500 Store Credit

    A lifetime supply of pipe cleaners, because after those are taken care of, the rest is gravy! :puffy: Seriously, I would use the majority for tobacco.

    Flake Tobacco in Square Tins

    For those keeping score, in my experience, round tins lose their seal 3x as often as squares. :puffpipe: :lol: And for presentation and stuff, I'll miss the squares.

    Pipe Purchase Learning by Experience/Mistake

    Thanks Harris haha :mrgreen: I've spent a bunch of time poking around those sites and I agree, they are all great. When I reach the next level of PAD I'll keep them, and you, in mind. :lol:

    Pipe Purchase Learning by Experience/Mistake

    My pipe buying is still evolving, but thank goodness it's slowing down. I didn't know anything about pipes for the first little bit haha. Now I look for traditional shapes with vulcanite stems, within the right weight range for me, medium sized bowl (grp 3-4?) I do all my pipe shopping in Brick...

    What is your dream B&M?

    Great pictures! Al, that lounge looks like it could be someone's living room. Looks like my kind of place.

    Nailed by Customs?

    I swear, every year at this time, I vow to avoid online shopping for pipe stuff because of the sheer volume of things in the mail, delays, etc. But then I see the sales, and the stuff I'm after is in stock, and my brain has been marinating in Black Friday adverts, and I snap :lol:

    Nailed by Customs?

    That'd be my guess. I had one package sit in customs that long. Another time I got nailed for some Snus, and the package was only delayed by a day. Hopefully the damage isn't too bad. I have a feeling I'll be in the same boat next week.
