I reserve Royal Yacht for the morning smoke... with a cup of coffee its a bracing way to start the day. Evening is for something retrospective like Cairo, Presbyterian or lately, Six Pence to melt the day away. Scott

I signed up to be a test candidate for Win 10 and as soon as it was ready I did the full install and I love it. The tiles give it a tablet like feel, folders open instantly and there's just an overall feeling of quickness. Had no freeze ups, quirks or lollygags during the install or after. I...

I too got a sample from Rande and I'm towing the same line... I haven't had any issues and it seems to work in all my pipes... delicious! Thanks again Rande! Scott

Ah... another Washingtonian... and another person that Pipes and Cigars wont ship to. Scott

I have not yet tried RB but after reading all about it here, it sounds like its right in my wheelhouse. Arango didn't blow me away in the beginning, in fact, I was a little disappointed at how rough it was. It has a persnickety side to it as far as the pipe goes, it doesn't work well in the...

There was a day that the old codger that lived behind us said the same thing about cigarettes. Look where that went. Most of the European Union already has, or will have in the future, a requirement that pipes manufactured and/or sold there accept some sort of a filter. With the government...

Presbyterian in a pre '80 Comoy's Regent #296.

Different day, different pipe, completely different experience. Just goes to show that first impressions aren't always reliable and how different it can be in a different pipe. Today I put it in a 20 something year old Danish thick walled straight apple that I've labeled as old faithful. Its...

UPS got here early... First impressions. I've had two bowls or Arango today, one at 4pm and finished another just now at 10:30pm. I have to say I'm a little disappointed.  :cry: I have a sneaking suspicion that this was an attempt at a 965 match as the first half of the bowl follows exactly...

LOL! Exactly the reason it's in my rotation! I love Saturday morning before the coffee is done brewing, sittin in my patio chair, a couple of puffs and consciousness actually comes into question.

Not normally an Aro person either but I usually have a stash of C&D's "Berry Good" laying about. Great tobacco with this delicious little hint of sweet berries and just enough strength to satisfy.

As hard as I tried I've never gotten along with Meers or Clay's. My last two Meers were part of the estate trade bringing me this sample. I do however have a briar whose sole purpose on my little world is to smoke Orientals and Balkans and it does a superior job wringing out all those little...

4 Ounce sample on the way!

This thread has been idle for a while, but I haven't been here for a while so I thought I'd jump in with my thought(s). For the 25 years I've been smoking a pipe, Mac Baren's Plumcake has been a solid player in my rotation. About five years ago, Matured Virginia earned a place right next to it...

Thank you for the insight! I love my Presbyterian but at $32 for the pound I need to adjust my shopping list... and buy some more jars.
