GLP Windjammer at Watch City
Too bad they sold out already. I was going to email Ernie to see if he'd bust open a tin and sell me an ounce?- orobusto

1st. Cup O’ Joes Order - LOL
Sorry if I took it the wrong way, but it just seemed like an odd question to me. We have a few great shops here, but like ADKpiper said, the tax makes you buy online and I have mentioned the tobacco tax repeatedly in the past because I feel bad for these small businesses and want to keep them...- orobusto

1st. Cup O’ Joes Order - LOL
I live about an hour away and try to support all the local shops like them, Edleez, Park Lane and Havana Premium. Why the accusatory question?- orobusto

1st. Cup O’ Joes Order - LOL
Cup O' Joes is a great shop. Sadly, the price isn't their fault, it's taxes, not overhead. From their website: Is your order shipping to New York State? If YES please be aware of the following charges. They will be automatically added to your shopping cart for your approval. We must add tax as...- orobusto

Choosing a Pipe
Smoking pipes has a couple of Tsuge pipes on sale for $35. I would get one of those. To be honest and go against the grain here, I didn't enjoy a cob until I got an older one which had a tighter draw and a more substantial stem.- orobusto

Back In Black (Stem Query)
I had one Stanwell that did the same thing just at the button area no matter what I tried to do to fix it. I thought maybe that one stem was reacting to my saliva. No other stem reacted like that one.- orobusto

24 or 48 Hours Rest?
You should wipe out the bowl and mortise after smoking. Any gunk will stay in there if you don't get it out. It's the accumulation that is making it sour. If you smoke 20 bowls a week, it may taste sour within the week if you don't clean it. If you rest it a day between smokes, it will be a...- orobusto

Sharpening a Xikar Cutter?
The company changed hands a couple of years ago. Sharpening may have been done by the old owners, but as the email you received says, you can get it replaced under the lifetime warranty. Mine has been great for many years and cigars.- orobusto

Thrifty Storage: The Tupperdor vs. The Coolidor
I think you could stay with the tupperdor. As mentioned above, cooler part of the house and away from sunlight is important. Bovedas work great. Heartfelt beads are another great alternative. They are reusable, so don't let the initial cost keep you from getting some. In my experience, humidity...- orobusto

Just Found Out I am Restoring the Pipes of a Convicted Murderer
We don't know the history of the majority of our estate pipes. I'm sure we all have at least one estate that belonged to an unsavory type. I'm sure the people that get my estates will think that :) Enjoy them and can't wait to see them cleaned up.- orobusto

Barbary Coast
It is a great blend. 99% of the time, I have coffee, tea or water with a pipe. The other 1% is Barbary Coast with a glass of port.- orobusto

Read This if You'd Like to Know More About Cigars (Specifically Nicaraguan)
Thank you for posting this! Excellent write up of the process. With all the steps and people involved in growing and rolling, not to mention time and possibly losing tobacco to mold, insects and weather, it's surprising cigars aren't more expensive. Great read!- orobusto

Is it over?
I don't think it's over. I used to get like that when I smoked pipes and cigars daily, somehow it became expected as part of my day and I started to see it like a chore. Nowadays, having limited time, I treasure the time I can enjoy a bowl.- orobusto
