    Buying Pipe Tobacco in SoCal

    Well, you got me. I must have confused the word for something else. That said, my point is not invalidated by this confusion whatsoever.

    Buying Pipe Tobacco in SoCal

    I didn't mean I am an expert. I just know the basics. If you're interested in the first experience of a virgin pipe smoker, I'll keep you posted when that comes.

    Buying Pipe Tobacco in SoCal

    Interesting. That may be the way to go for me. Is there any way to instruct them beforehand to send the package to a post office where you can be ID'd? How did it happen that your packages were delivered to a post office?

    Buying Pipe Tobacco in SoCal

    That is something I have taken into account... Perhaps many will be more lenient, being under the impression that I am some fellow man of the narcotic.

    Buying Pipe Tobacco in SoCal

    I can't quite put my thumb on why it is happening, but people are getting the incorrect impression that I'm underage. Is it because I mentioned getting ID'd? It must be a problem with reading comprehension. I last brought it up because if I have something delivered to a rented mailbox, and I'm...

    Buying Pipe Tobacco in SoCal

    I'm definitely calling ahead... There's other shops around, but pipe smokers are an unfortunately small demographic. I'm not looking for anything fancy. Stuff like Captain Black is more than fine. I just want something to hold me over as I learn to smoke. Once I live somewhere else or can...

    Thanks for the recommendations. Tobacco Barn of Lake Forest now seems to be called "CigarSpots" according to their Instagram page. There's another CigarSpots within walking distance of me. Perhaps they have some pipe tobacco there.

    Buying Pipe Tobacco in SoCal

    I should have been more descriptive. I can't receive any packages at all at the moment due to some rules where I live. That's why I have to go to a brick-and-mortar place.

    Buying Pipe Tobacco in SoCal

    I'm going to be getting into pipe smoking later this week. Unfortunately, ordering online is not possible for me due to senseless mail rules where I live. This means I will have to go to brick-and-mortar places for pipes and pipe tobacco. Of course, there are dedicated tobacconist shops, but...
