Unlike all these other wankers, I offer you a practical solution.


NOW! Yes! This large workbook and study guide -- this is NOT a skimpy pamphlet like others dare to sell -- contains actual usable diagrams for time travel machines you can construct in a reasonable amount of time.



Or if you're not inclined to build your own, some refurbished units may be available soon (can be a bit pricey though).


Take my advice: Don’t buy a used time machine without Roadside Assistance. I made that mistake in 2097 and now I’m stuck. The only other advice I can give is embrace baldness.

Got news for ya my friend, that won't be the last pound you're looking for😂 That's not how this works.
Eventually I need to move on from the extinct dinos and move onto new blends like everyone says, but I want enough to last me a good while to enjoy them while I find suitable replacements. Everything I had to buy in tins I got 4ozs of, and bulk items I got either 8/16oz of. I'm significantly younger than basically everyone on this forum, so it'll be a fools errand trying to cellar enough for any significant amount of time anyways

Many of us have already been through that sense of loss with McClelland and D&R. Then there was the whole FDA thing that prepped us all to an apocalyptic loss that never happened. It's also irritating that people just refusing to believe that the shelves in the stores will ever change. I just assume that tomorrow or one tomorrow pretty soon, there just won't be any pipe tobacco. This is way healthier thinking as long as one acts on it and stocks up on the blends you love.

It's almost as if there are some pipe smokers that just walk around in stupidity just buying a new tin when the one they have open is empty. WTF kinda of life is that? That is cigarette smoker mentality.

I'm not going to be consoling crying pipesmokers over this. I will just say that you'd better stock up NOW on anything that would make sad to lose, because it is wiser to live thinking that all commercial pipe tobacco will one day no longer be available, than to one day find yourself left out altogether. Buck up and stock up.
I have enough tobacco to last me to my dying day. I am in the process of smoking all the samples that I have stored. My essential tobaccos are well stocked, but I realize that when they are gone.......well, that's it. It was nice while it lasted.

I am looking into how to make my own perique if I had to. Very small scale maybe less than a pound at a time. I am just waiting (in angst) for the moment finding blending perique gets difficult. Following your advice I cellar all I can while I can.
