    Small, Medium, Large Tins Or Bulk Preference

    Bulk 90% of the time. I quit chasing unicorns some time ago. Over the years, I have found some bulk options that I am pleased with and prefer to stock up on those by the pound. As Hoosier mentioned, I have a few favorites that aren't offered in bulk and will occasionally purchase those tins when...

    Canadian Import Advice Help - Tax was 200%!

    I feel for our Canadian brethren. If I didn't already smoke I certainly wouldn't start. I figure it is only a matter of time till we experience much of the same here in the US. This is exactly the reason I have been stockpiling tobacco for years.

    Ozark Mini Question

    I have an Ozark mini that I use for similar pursuits. Mine too had a pretty decent gap from the stem to the bottom of the bowl wasting precious tobacco. I took some cigar ash and made some mud and filled mine in. It only takes a few minutes.

    Thoughts on a Second Pipe

    I have an MM Elf Cobbit and it is one of my favorite pipes. It always produces a fine smoke. It has a good sized bowl as well. Good for sitting on the porch and contemplating life. I recommend them. I don't generally smoke while doing anything else so that is not a consideration for me. The...

    1995 Christmas Cheer

    I purchased a tin of 2000 Christmas Cheer a few years back. I smoked some during that holiday season and then jarred it up. I have been opening it up every year around Christmas and smoking a few bowls. To my taste, it is still delicious and enjoyable. It is a treat and an old friend that I look...

    Unopened Frog Morton On The Town

    I agree with this sentiment. "Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise."

    SPC Price Points

    I guess some people are under the impression that if something costs more, it must be better. Many of us know that this is not true. To be fair, I've tried a few different blends from SPC and just really didn't care for them. For me, their products are not worth the asking price. Luckily, I have...

    What are You Smoking this Christmas?

    Smoking a bowl of 2000 Christmas Cheer in a Boswell saddle bit coal rusticated billiard. A very pleasant and relaxing smoke after a couple of days spent with extended family.

    Was Christmas As Stressful Back In The Day As It Is Now?

    I refuse to get caught up in the stresses and strains of the holiday madness. For me, it is a time to give thanks, spend quality time with family and friends, smoke good tobacco, enjoy some good food and just generally relax and enjoy the festive season. I don't understand why people allow...

    If you could only smoke one blend...

    Here lately I've been primarily smoking Watch City Simply Red and I haven't grown tired of it yet. If all I had access to were Watch City blends I'd be A OK.

    Trying Out Gawith Blends and Sharing My Impressions

    I too have been enjoying your impressions of these various tobaccos. For years, I was scared away by the descriptions of the Lakeland essence but upon trying, have become a fan. I enjoy Ennerdale Flake and the other various offerings from G&H that I have tried. Probably my two favorites are...
