    Looking for a New Knife

    The Famous Victorinox Rostfrei Knife is a super nice efficient tool. They can be found often on eBay and ETSY in excellent condition for under $50. I recently purchased one for $40 with free shipping. Overall, it's 3 3/4" long. It's in like new condition.

    What are You Drinking? November 2024

    Back for a few hits of my favorite low-cost Blended Scotch Whisky. Super low price, when you can find it, it's super hard to find! Glen Logie, when I do find it, it's always a 1.75 liter, at about $27/$28. It offers a light smokiness, some vanilla, with hints of orange and cinnamon. It's super...

    Sammy Davis Jr. Doesn't Get Enough Respect.

    He was an important part of the Rat Pack, making it what it was! No doubt a wonderful entertainer, Singer, Dancer, Actor, Personality! He did it all!

    Meerschaum Dilutes Flavor?

    To be honest, I light up any of my Meerschaum Pipes with any tobacco I choose, and it taste just fine to me, new pipes as well. I have never experienced what you are referring as a diluted flavor. I have a hard time understanding how that could happen. I mean, the tobacco burns, the smoke goes...

    Butane quality

    Pipe lighters or torches, either one, I've been using this brand for the last 25 years or so. Never a problem!

    Sun Bear 2025 Suggestion?

    Yes, there is a large Fresh & Easy Store in the Las Vegas area far South on Eastern Ave. I go there from time to time to see what's new. I've heard that there is another store as well, but I have never checked it out!

    Should I Pick it Up Again and Smoke It?

    DGT works fine for me up to several days. I cannot recall ever being disappointed with a pipe relite.

    Cigar Cutters - Do You Sharpen Them?

    That's a great feature. I wish they all allowed for that, especially the higher end ones!

    Cigar Cutters - Do You Sharpen Them?

    I never said anything about replacing them, I only referred to sharpening them. That's a world of difference. Sharpening only takes a few minutes of elbow grease; the other way takes money out of your wallet.

    Eye Floaters

    I have developed a case of floaters about 15 years ago. I ended up seeing several types of doctors at that time. I was told that they will never go away and to simply try and get use to them. At that time, I was surprised when after some months I hardly ever noticed them anymore, but they are...

    Solitary or Social Smoker?

    Like many others I smoke my pipes alone 98% of the time, out on my back yard patio. Unless I am reading a book or browsing through magazines I kind of drift off into some fantasy or another which I enjoy very much!

    Shipping Tobacco

    What service are you using? I believe with UPS and some others you have to declare what your shipping. You do not have to declare anything with USPS.

    Sun Bear Blends & Dates of Production:

    For those of you who had the opportunity purchase some of these blends, which were your favorite blends and dates of production? I have never had the chance to try any of them and I am looking to trying a few! Maybe the new one expected very soon!

    GLP Must Have Blends

    Absolutely Not! It may have turned out to be a Great Smoke! Why would you ever throw out any tin of unopened tobacco? That makes no sense.
