    A Couple of Pipes I Bought Today

    I was at an estate sale and ran into these 2 pipes. I liked how they looked and the price seemed reasonable after a bit of haggling. Should I clean them the same as briar pipes? Edited by jvnshr: Title capitalization.

    USPS prices going up

    Question about mac Baren vanilla flake vs loose cut

    I recently purchased a tin of mac Baren vanilla flake and love the stuff. I went to order more a little while ago and noticed that the flake comes only in 1.75 oz tins while the loose cut comes in 3.5 oz tins, with the latter being substantially cheaper per oz. Is there a difference in tobacco...

    People in Michigan are NUTS!

    Fortunately none and I attribute it to not trying to eat people. I'd like to think however, that if some cannibal made it past the flying buckshot, I would taste like mac Baren vanilla and brandy.
