Just open the cover of the calendar. You'll see a page with 15 photos of some of the employees at P&C and on the page below that you'll see specials for each month of the year.

Beginning on Oct 1 P&C will have all Peter Stokkebye bulk tobaccos on sale for 25% off for the entire month. The code for the discount will be OCT17. More importantly, there will also be an unadvertised special of 20% off all orders of $100 or more. This sale is only shown in the calendar which...

Yes, I really, really like this baccy. Had 2 pounds in the cellar and have just order 3 more. This is a really good smoke. TLA

Smoking Pipes has a 15% off sale on all Cornell & Diehl bulk tobaccos for the month of March. P&C is running a buy 3 and get 1 free sale on Dunhill tins also for the month of March. (25% off) With things starting to look dicey for continued production of Dunhill, it might be a good time to...

I like both ideas. I'll check for a date and wait to open it if it already 6 months or more of age, and if it does, I'll just leave it in the can. Otherwise, I'll crack it open and jar it up and maybe try a couple of ounces of it fresh and try to wait at least a couple of years before I try...

I'm contemplating the purchase of a one pound tin of Haddo's and was wondering if I should open the tin and jar it up immediately in several pint and half pint jars, or, should I just leave it in the can for later. It seems that Haddo's really shines with a little age, but at 70, I don't think...

I have a new email address and the old one no longer works. There seems to be no way to edit my email address in my profile. Does anyone have any idea on how I might do this? Many thanks. TLA

Pipes & Cigars is running a sale on both John Cotton and Seattle Pipe Club tobaccos. Buy 2 get 1 free. The John Cotton sale runs all month. Didn't see a time limit on the Seattle Pipe Club tobaccos. (Sale includes the 8oz. tins as well) TLA

I think I've read that a large billiard or a pot was the best pipe for English/Balkan blends, but I've not read anything about the Dublin and was wondering if what I think I've read about billiards and pots was correct and what are the best tobaccos to smoke in a Dublin. Any thoughts? TLA

Many thanks for the advice. I'll be experimenting and will report back when, and if, I find a satisfactory solution. TLA

Hearth & Home Mid-Town Series (14oz. tubs) On Sale Only $19.99 I like Chatham Manor & Chestnut Doesn't say how long the sale will last. http://www.pipesandcigars.com/brands/2070/hearth-home-mid-town-series/ TLA

A couple of C&D tobaccos which I like, Oriental Silk and Habana Daydream, are so finely cut, I call it a “diced” ribbon cut, that, more often than not, the tobacco winds up clogging the pipe's draught hole. The majority of my pipes use a balsa filter so there's no possibility of using a pipe...

Granted, Smoking Pipes recently raised their prices for C&D blends by a couple of bucks and change, but with the 15% discount you're still getting access to a pretty good stable of quality tobaccos for a shade over $30 a pound. Some which I consider worthy of attention include: Big 'n' Burley...

Pipes & Cigars is also running a sale on Daughters and Ryan tobaccos for an unspecified "limited time." All one pound bags are 20% off. I checked and some one pound bags were in stock and some were on backorder. It remains to be seen if the backordered stock will be resupplied while the sale...

Smoking Pipes has Cornell & Diehl 15% off for all of September. Pipes and Cigars has Peter Stokkebye 20% off for all of September. Happy TAD!! TLA
