Received a few days ago. Thank you to whoever sent me this. Always wanted to get my hands on some From Beyond. But. It I kept missing out when it would become available.
Took a break from posting, not a break from smoking. On this lovely Ohio evening I'm enjoying my own attempt at Shelby Foote's mixture. 2/3 Edward G and 1/3 half/half. Delicious. I'll have to get some barking dog next. The Histories, Writings, and Pipe Smoking of Shelby Foote | Smokingpipes.com...

Well shit, I've been cleaning mine with alcohol and pipe cleaners after every smoke. After reading this thread I'll just switch to pipe cleaners only. I'll save the alcohol for a once a month cleaning. Good to know.
