The Briar And The Burley
$5.25 an ounce isn't a bad price especially for a B&M. Heck, I gladly pay @ $5.88 an ounce for bulk HH Old Dark Fired from smokingpipes.- litup

Benchmark Blends
If I just want a reliably good smoke and I'm not looking to be adventurous and try something new, you'll most often find that I've loaded a bowl with Peterson Irish Flake, HH Old Dark Fired, or F&T's Special Brown Flake.- litup

Aging and Pricing Thoughts
There's a vocal bias against reselling tins here. It's like a badge of honor for some people to want nothing to do with making a few dollars on a tin they no longer want. They'd rather let it collect dust in a bin somewhere so they can get a little extra street cred on the forums when they...- litup

Aging and Pricing Thoughts
When it comes to resale of tins, I think it's helpful to look to people like PipeStud or sites like Tinbids for information. PipeStud lays out what he's looking for when accepting commissions. I'd take these as the baseline for when you might expect a tin to be worth more than a regular retail...- litup

One Light Pipe
I think the only time you really need to worry about not relighting is if you're in a slow-smoking contest. Outside of that, who cares?- litup

Tinbids Experiences?
I sold several tins of Esoterica and got more money for them than I would have been comfortable asking for on here. The transactions went off without a hitch (including one that was an international sale). Tinbids makes the shipping aspect of selling very, very easy since they provide the...- litup

Pipe Tobacco Scammers
Social media apps are full of scammers trying to profit off of fake tobacco sales. They like to steal photos of other people's tobacco tins and pass them off as their own. If someone doesn't include something like a handwritten note showing today's date in the photograph with the tobacco, I...- litup

Record Dow Jones Over 37,000
It's none of my business, but when I hear things like this it makes me wonder what your plans on for retirement (if you plan to retire)? Based on your user name, I might infer you are a fireman and if so you likely have a pension. If you have a pension, you've likely contributed to the markets...- litup

Night Owls
I'm not proud of my sleeping habits. I typically have to force myself to go to bed at 1:00 and then I lay there frustrated that I'm not asleep until 2:00 or later. And then I'm up at 7:30 so I can start drinking a pot of coffee before my work day starts. By evening time, I can barely keep my...- litup

Tell me about Drucquer&Sons
In that case, I would recommend First Amendment for your morning/afternoon smokes. I don't smoke English blends very often anymore, but First Amendment is one that I continue to enjoy.- litup

Basic Blends for a Good Cellar.
I'm going to come off looking like a jerk for saying this, but I'd caution people against posting pictures of their favorite tobaccos in their cellar. Pictures of large lots of tobacco tins often get copied and later posted on Facebook by scammers looking to sell that lot.- litup

Favorite Christmas Song
I'm probably too moody and fickle to have a single favorite Christmas song but this one reminds me of attending Christmas Eve services and it puts me in a certain contemplative Christmasy frame of mind.- litup

Changey Mind
I agree with this sentiment. Comparing the perceived hype back then to the hype of today is an unfair way to judge it. If people weren't as vocal back then it could be for any number of reasons and most of those reasons would have nothing to do with the tobacco not being highly favored. And...- litup
