I'd recommend Bald Headed Teacher which is a house blend from 4Noggins. It's burley forward and slightly to the strong side of medium. Sold in bulk and economical. A pleasant smoke.

If you liked "Downton Abbey", let me suggest an older BBC series, "Monarch of the Glen" which is available on Prime. It's similar to Downton except that the lairdship is destitute and struggling for survival.

Buy an estate Kaywoodie in your favorite size and shape. Cut off the stinger between the air hole and the threads. This will give you what you seek at a low cost.

Now that the $3.5 billion spending spending bill has been cut in half, does anyone know the status of the tobacco tax in the revised new version?

A nice side benefit to AAA is that is that most motel chains offer a discount to members. The discount is generally the same as the AARP discount. I won't join AARP because of their hard left wing political activity.

I smoke both but enjoy a pipe more. I tend to smoke a cigar when a pipe is too inconvenient like when mowing grass.

Men who don't have the manners to remove their hat in a restaurant. Love the way Tony Soprano handled the situation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr3mlbv16Cw

With regard to service, Pipes & Cigars and Smokingpipes.com are polar opposites.

This thread shows me how little I know. I thought that my beloved Black House was blended by Russ at Pipes and Cigars. Didn't know that they dont have a blending operation.

Over half of the blends I wanted were not in stock. I called P&C customer service. Was told that I could order backorder items and still receive the 20% discount and free shipping, so I placed the order. It doesn't matter to me if the items trickle in as my cellar is deep enough. With so many...

Just received an order. Enclosed in package was coupon code: ISPD2016, expires 4/15/16. For cigar guys, most of the Cigar International inventory is available through the Pipes & Cigars site at the same prices.

Through tomorrow with coupon code: iloveperetti.

Cigars International has 20% off their entire site with the promo code: NEWYEAR. Most of the Pipes and Cigars inventory is available through the Cigar International site at identical prices as they are sister companies. I just received a tobacco order, and the promo code worked fine.

Been retired for 4 years and love it. You do need some hobbies/interest. Otherwise, you'll be bored and miss work. Doesn't matter what the interest are so long as the time spent enriches you. I have more time for skeet shooting, hunting, reading, movies, pipe smoking, my German Shorthaired...

I can't think about gun trading without getting a grin from something my family doctor (a fellow shotgun enthusiast) once told me. He claims to be the worlds worst gun trader. Says he could start with a Holland & Holland and six trades later be down to a Mossberg.
