I also got mine from my local B&M and had the same problem. I did the same as you and ordered some on online. It appears that the BJ Long are a bit thicker. They have lasted twice as long.

I hope post doesn't sound preachy. It is not my intention. I have been reading this post with some interest and have decided that I am a pipe elitist. I started smoking about 5 years ago and had pipes that gurgled, got too hot, and the drugstore tobacco wasn't enjoyable. As I learned more...

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I hope to learn here and contribute when I know something about the topic.

Many years ago I worked on the Rosebud Reservation in SD. I needed to take a break from school. Three years in college was wearing on me. I worked as a dormitory counselor for a year and as a cook in the kitchen the next year. It was a great experience getting to know the community. After...
