New Order, Pipes and Tobacco

[Hunter1]

Title edited. See Rule 9.

I ordered pipe #6 and #7 last night plus a can of the Savinelli 140 to try. I bought an Estate pipe unknown maker, but a nice looking pipe, also a new corn cob , both have no filter. I heard the Savinelli 140 was a pretty good tobacco and wanted to try it out. Watch , it will be the best tobacco I've had so far and they don't make it anymore. Should get it all by this Saturday or Monday next . Smoking pipes. com ships the fastest I have ever seen.

That right there is why I won't buy tobacco that is no longer made. OF COURSE it will be awesome. Why get hooked on something like that? I have no desire to try any McClellands, for example.

If the recent release of Savinelli 140th is like the older release, it is very good tobacco.

Post a pic of your unknown estate when it arrives. We like to look at pics.

I personally don’t see it as a case of “getting hooked” on something no longer available. I see it as an opportunity to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime (perhaps) experience. I’m not going to not enjoy something just because I may never be able to repeat it.

On this, a lot of blends have changed year to year depending on crop yields or what's available Solani comes to mind.

Or when a new manufacturer just slaps the old name on a new blend Three Nuns comes to mind.

You get what you get when you get it and your experience is your experience.
I have one open tin of McClellands and it's definitely its own thing, I'm glad I tried it so I know what others are hyping about. Great stuff...

Okay, I'll play the rube. What is Pipe #6 and pipe #7?? Some kind of code??

I think that because he's at Lurker status, that's the number of pipe he's on (his pipe count) in his collection I could be wrong...

Who knew??

Because it’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Definitely a cliché but also definitely true for me.

The last 2 months that I started back up smoking a pipe, I bought 5other pipes. 1 Savinellis, 2 Petersons and 1 Capri, and 1 cob. No code .It was in my other post.

Ok I see; New Order

And I’m thinking of the band! LOL

As long as I know in advance that a blend is not something I can re-order, I can enjoy it as an exotic treat, like an outrageously expensive wine someone has put out for guests. I have two tins of McC's blends, and I'll enjoy them despite the fact I won't be buying any more.

Just remember, there are hundreds, if not thousands of other blends out there, and just went you thought this is the one, you find another great one.

Hopefully, you can just order one tin, and there will be more to order later, IF you really like it.

I’ve bought in the past 2 years close to 100 blends, and I’m still always buying, and I still find many of the blends I buy great, but I always buy something different to sample/explore.

In time you’ll realize this too, so enjoy and explore the world of pipe tobacco, because if 140 fell off the earth, you won’t die.
