I mean, $35 for a pound?!
Shakes out to, what, 25 cents per smoke?
Cigarettes are over a dollar apiece here
I'm in for another pound. Not more as I've built up quite a stash already and also got a pound of Exclusive to try.
I’ve died and gone to hog heaven
I bought a whole pound of Pegasus this last SP sale. The last 4 oz. of Pegasus I ordered was good smoke so I stocked up. $34.40 a pound was the sale price, but that goes up a bit because of the taxes. Still a good price IMHO, and not $88 or even $50 a pound like some bulk tobaccos.
I bought 1 lb of Pegasus and 3 lbs of Winchester this past 20% off C&D bulk sale. I also bought 4 oz of Exclusive, which I've never tried. There is no sales tax in Oregon so my total came in under $145. That's $145 for basically a years worth of tobacco for me. $12 a month for all of the boutique American-grown and blended tobacco I can smoke isn't a bad deal.
Yeah I brought this up at pipe club last night. It's almost unreal
Also gave @Sandblast some Pegasus and invited him to this thread
Golly, posts like this almost* make me wish I hadn't have moved away from Oregon! Indiana sales + excise taxes pretty much offset any sales... If only I'd had my SP order sent to my father-in-law's, as my wife was visiting him last week. I have teh dum.
*Almost. The cost of living in Indiana is still far less than it was in Ory-Gun.
Yeah I love the part of Southern Oregon that I live in. The cost of living is higher than lots of places on the east coast but I’d rather live where I want and pay the premium. I do lots of foraging and outdoor activities around here. Thankfully I’m far away from the insanity of Portlandia and Eugene.
90% of the coloring on this meerschaum is from smoking Pegasus. That’s the best endorsement I can give.
Incredible. It was fun watching that one color up
I've got a few pounds worth of 2oz tins in this moving box. At some point I started putting the bulk stickers on there
I saw I could get it about $5 cheaper at smoking pipes but I like to support the tobacconist I practically live at. It’ll last me a good while with HB, OJK, Morley’s Best, and Burley Flake #3 filling the gaps the rest of the time.
Enjoying some… you guessed it.
Pegasus in an Al Pascia Meer. Couldn’t be any better.

Man, you Pegasus devotees are a dedicated lot, I must say. I'm working on developing my appreciation of these. Had some Granger today and really loved it.
Jim, you're gonna need to kick it in gear to darken up that beautiful Meer to match the one @LeafErikson showed us a few replies earlier.
The more I smoke it, the more I like it. It’s really hitting the spot on this cold fall evening. I’m going to have to order more soon.
He'll be there in no time. Each bowl is better than the last when you light up Pegasus.
Love me some Pegasus. I have two pipes dedicated to it. A Castello and a Savinelli Punto Oro 320 KS.
Boy, that's some fine looking grain on the bulldog. For that matter, the Sav has a nice pattern, too.
Its one of those blends that always hits right, in any pipe and at any time. And knowing how it smokes its a great test drive for a new pipe so you know what to expect. I only got 2 ounces of this but I suspect I'll need more before the year is out, I've got a bunch of blends to choose from but this is one of the ones I think about when I'm really craving a smoke. Great stuff.
