    Need Recommendation - Vanilla

    MacBaren's Vanilla Roll Cake is sublime. It's more expensive that what you're looking for, but it's good tobacco with a subtle, real vanilla flavor, not treacly. If you PM your address to me, I'll send you a handful of coins for you to try a couple of bowls.

    Broken Pipe Brewdude Rande Reed

    I met him on Herfer's Paradise when he was still smoking cigars before he shifted over to pipes. He was one of the most patient mods I've ever seen (BoB is much better behaved than HP). We did a couple of trades and over the years he sent me three of CDs. I won the HP Lotto back when I used to...

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    I think it's just the effects of aging. I still miss the perique. Why do think it smoked so fast, like an underfilled cigar? My pipe was as full as it can get. I did leave it out for a while longer than usual, but it was far from crispy. Maybe I misunderestimated my pack. Maybe the unrubbed out...

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    Director's Cut from a tin bought in 2018. When I popped it, it was too DFK-forward, when it used to be more perique-forward. I didnt enjoy that, esp when there was Orlik DSK, Montgomery, and Newminster 403 lying around. A couple years later, it's sweeter, there's still not much perique, and it...

    Hello from the Great Lakes State!

    SE MI here as well. I'm between Toledo and Angola. The new excise tax is a killer for online orders, but Paul's in Flint is a worthwhile drive.

    I'm sorry to hear that RSteve. This virus can be tough to shake.

    HH McBaren Vintage Syrian

    I'd be interested. Those are great prices. I kind of wish I bought more at JR, that's for sure. I don't know if four pounds will be enough. If you open things up to a multi-purchase, five tins and a pound would carry me through the decade, and that's with me exercising restraint! It's got a...

    Secret Santa 2019 - BOB's Twelfth

    Don't say "was" just yet. I stopped getting Grape chemtrail updates to my phone at around 1:11 p.m. yesterday afternoon . . .

    Secret Santa 2019 - BOB's Twelfth

    Holy cow. A partridge AND a pear tree?!? That's pretty amazing. Even more amazing is that I think that Elizabethan Mixture tin is from the actual Elizabethan era. WTG, Santa!

    Secret Santa 2019 - BOB's Twelfth

    I left work today to find my car iced over and my tire pressure gauge going haywire. To top it off, I didn't have an ice scraper. What I should have done was to copy Santa. He made it through all of snow today to drop off a jim dandy of a package! Unobtanium in the form of McClelland Red and...

    Secret Santa 2019 - BOB's Twelfth

    It's been unseasonably warm these past couple of weeks so I gave the reindeer one last massive carb load before taking off to parts east named what most people associate with parts south. The first radar report was just emailed to my phone. I do believe that trail is made up of Captain Black...
