Is that you? Where was that? You're a complete match to that hobbit illustration!
I gotta get myself to some mountains again to do the exact same thing. I haven't been in a while and definitely not since I started smoking.

I actually had come across MacQueen pipes not that long ago, but they had skipped out of my mind. Thanks for the reminder!

I know whatcha mean, man. I remember when all Esoterica was easy to get. And when they became in short supply, the hoarders swooped in and helped fuel the problem we face. I'm lucky to have a decent supply of what I want.

When you say hoarding, how many tins are these folks buying? The most I buy,mid I really like something is 20. I might buy more of these later as opportunity permits but I’m assuming you mean more than 20?

I just ordered a Carroll of Carrollton this morning. Nice looking pipe.

Thank you. You'll enjoy smoking it. Very comfortable to clench.

Half way through this bowl of early 2000s Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Watching Mad Dog Russo.

The pic is buggin' me. The rim isn't as flat on the side as the camera is making it out to be. Damn my OCD, love C&D Bow Legged Bear btw.

Given my age, I’ve decided I need to start drawing more from my cellar. Today, it’s 2006 Frog Morton Across the Pond, in a new-to-me Capitello billiard.

I’d bet that you have a fun cellar.

Spilman Mixture, E. Hoffman Company, Chicago, in a MM/Dagner poker nose warmer. This is a revival of a blend that goes back to 1857. I'm getting to the bottom of a 7 oz. tin gifted me eight or so years ago. It's decidedly mild, but a nice change of pace.

Samuel Clemens said, you can do any amount of work, as long as it isn't what you're supposed to be doing. That's me so far today.

Doblone d'Oro in an Ashton, I like this blend, definitely Kentucky forward, not a lot of perique presence as described in jimInks review. Still a good one to have around!

Did a set of walking reps on this beautiful sunny day, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem.

That just looks like Perfection in a Poker! Plato would point to this.
