Title says it all. Just curious as to how you all would spend 100 bucks on pipe tobacco?

I'd go to www.smokingpipes.com and buy some McConnell Oriental and Scottish Cake, maybe a couple tins of something JF Germain,some Penzance, and if I have any dough left I'd bulk it out on blackrope.

If it were $100 of "found money", I'd finally cave in and try the Seattle Pipe Club blends on pipesandcigars.com (they're NY-based, so I pay the outrageous tax on it.)

3 each of the small tins of SPC Plum Pudding and MS River, and 1 of Seattle Evening, plus tax comes out to about $100.

I would go out to the truck and cabbage onto any loose change and buy as much good weed as I could.

Can I borrow $3.70 till payday? bounce

I highly recommend Scott Bundy at www.piperestore.com for all of your pipe cleaning and restoration work.

"you know, something better than Walnut,,,"

like wet oak leaves with a top dressing of rubber cement?!?

Just kidding, I rather like the stuff and appreciate its price.

Natch

Right now I would hit SmokingPipes and grab..
2-100g tins of Frog Morton Across the Pond $26.38
2-100g tins McClelland Christmas Cheer 2008 $27.40
5- 50g tins Escudo $46.35
Total- $100.13 and a good start to my cellar.

I'd lay the $100 bill out on TJ's back porch and when he scurried out to grab it (no banker could pass it up, it's in their DNA!!) I'd snatch one of his ice chests and make hell for the county line lol!

Hopefully it wouldn't be the ice chest full of Erinmore Shocked

These days, $100 will buy 5 tubs of ERRd or 7 tubs of PA. Considering that ERRd is to be no more, my first try would be the ERRd. If ERRd was not available, however many tubs of PA and a few Walnut would work nicely. I'm dismayed that 5Bros is up to $3.75-$4.00/pouch. A few of them would also be pleasant to smoke.
