    Lakeland Tobacco

    Wondering if you had a taste yet - Lakelands are my favorite, they strike me the right way.

    New Criteria for my Pipes.

    I've tried to make rules and get my pipe and tobacco fascination under control - but it never really did work for me, I like anything in the right context. For 15+ years I bought and sold a lot of pipes and tobaccos. It was quite a hobby - In the end, I am a clencher... and I prefer a longer...

    What Blend did your Grandfather Smoke?

    Maybe my grandfather was friends with Solideogloria86's grandfather... same answer! Sir Walter Raleigh day to day. Some Cherry blends on occasion. Always in a Grabow. My father once bought him a Dunhill but he just put it on his bookshelf... said it was too nice to smoke. My father also...

    Question About New Rules in Sales Forums

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) - Bob Hey guys, I just re-read the forum rules and I needed to clarify a few things before I posted any tobacco tins or pipes. I don't want to make any mistakes etc. 1) Ten Tins per week in total correct? I planned on selling fifty tins in five...

    How Do You Reconcile With Pipe Smoking's Health Risks?

    Death and ill health has always seemed so far away to me. I've never been worried about pipe smoking, snus use or nicotine. I have always felt that genetics, diet and fate were more likely to cause me problems. I'm only 48. I have never been worried until this week. I spent last week in the...

    What Do You Think About Neerup Pipes?

    Someone dug this up - I have had a few Neerups since I posted this question a couple years ago. I found that they all smoked very well right from the start. They felt great in the hand...

    What would you pick up in Dublin?

    I just returned from a week in Dublin and I found NOTHING. The Peterson store on Grafton street had more cigars and EDC items than pipe stuff. There is a cool little tobacco/Cigar shop next to The Temple Bar, but a 50 G plug of Yachtsman was 25 Euros. The tobacco tax is so high there that it...

    What are your top five favorite non-aromatic?

    Uhle's crushed White Burley is cool and dry for me... As is their Perfection Plug. These are simple, unmuted and burn great. Others I like include: Peretti's #52 and I got a little spoiled recently when some awesome member gifted me a little aged Pelican. If you don't mind a little sweet, I like...

    Dublin, Paris Prague next week

    Well, my destinations have grown. Got the Dublin stay figured out - Found a room at the Wynn. You weren't lying... It was difficult finding a decent/affordable place to stay in Dublin during these dates. We finally said screw it and decided to "pay" for a more proper hotel. We're planning to...

    Awards Shows: Are There Too Many?

    There are way too many awards and self-congratulations. To steal a quote from Milan Kundera: They are "brought to tears of gratification at their own reflection in the mirror." I don't watch anymore. These people are only entertainers. A few are artists. Some are talented, but in the end, few...

    Condor Like Tobaccos?

    No real substitute, but some Condor lovers in the past have suggested: Peterson's Hyde Park and GW Rich Dark Honeydew. I love Condor, and I use these when I get the urge to smoke Condor, but don't have any.

    Smart Phones

    It's made teaching a nightmare. Kids would rather get suspended than give up their phone. The kicker: 2 months ago, I was at a stop light. I gazed over to the side of the road and saw six people doing road construction.... Four of them were on their phones. This included the worker who was...
