A Brief Word on Fellowship and Cigar Shops
I know our favored vice has a way of occasionally compelling us into a sentimental mode, where lofty words like "brotherhood" are bandied about and misty-eyed smokers make paeans to a golden past that exists more in their minds than anything else.

Looking for Suggestions: tobaccos with anise or tonquin bean
Hi all, looking for some good tobaccos with the aforementioned toppings. For a little guidance, I am specifically looking: 1. Tobaccos that have those ingredients or flavors very similar to them. 2.

Greetings From West Virginia!
Hello, all! It's a pleasure to make everyone's acquaintance. It has been awhile since I joined an online forum, so I must say this feels oddly nostalgic to me. In any event, I think I'm going fit in well here. It will be nice to be able to communicate with fellow pipers! My about section...- K.E. Powell
