recent brush with this... I guess snow melts the quickest when fog and dew point hit some level. I've heard this a couple times now, both on the Weather Channel and the occasional weather search. "That's not true. I've never heard of such a thing. It's the sun." "Hey, buddy. I didn't say...

Was given a 14oz (screw you and your less-than 1LB bag) of Trader Joe's Shade Grown Ground Espresso Blend. Came from Amazon. Opened the bag to no smell. No aroma when brewing. Honestly, it tastes like Folgers, or at least how I remember Folgers tasting. All these glowing reviews. I know I...

This made me concoct this situation. Early in 2020, I bought another pipe from my favorite maker in a shape that is one of my favorite shapes, regardless of maker. Paid a below average price for it as well. Mighty expectations, to say the least. It's not much of a smoker for a couple reasons...

No new information, but a new TV piece on MM from Ag Web. A web article that is taken from the video you'll find at the bottom of this link. https://www.agweb.com/article/missouri-pipe-company-continues-bring-iconic-corn-cob-pipes-life

Have you tried Daughters & Ryan Picayune? It's heavy on the burley (perique included), and though it has a unique taste, I think it could appeal to a cigar adjacent smoker. I love it in a cob, too.

And they make some darn tasty tobaccos. Picayune is a favorite, and I can't imagine smoking a cigarette of it, though it is an old cigarette blend. It a cob in particular, it is sublime.

people have their things and priorities. I try not to judge. Some will gladly pay $200 for white T-shirt and feel it is absolutely worth it. When I pay more than $4 for an undershirt, I wondery why. If I had the money, I wouldn't hesitate to invest $20K into a stereo system, while never...

Very cool of you, RSteve. I know the area. It must be brutal at times. I age it for another time, when I might possible have a shift in taste, or I blend it all together and make a bastard blend. I might have a total of 6oz, so it isn't worth shipping anywhere.

I think it was this year? Possibly last? I'm no good with time, but a kind BoB user included some HU samples, and I've been blown away. Unfortunately, they're mighty expensive. If things were a little different, I'd be begging folk on the board to go in on a bulk order with me. Truly...

I've received the wrong tobacco from said vendor. Contacted them (I think I called). They gladly replaced it. Maybe you received the wrong thing?

When I used to jar up my bulk tobacco, I would include the price per ounce on my labels. I got lazy about it a couple big purchases ago and didn't do it. Does anyone keep track of what their favorite tobaccos cost and how much they go up each year? I'm curious about Stokkebye in particular...

nevermind, found his post

I don't own the pipe. It's from a video. I can't supply more information. Thanks for trying, everyone. It looks to be a decent pipe, but who knows?

Nice. Where's the manifest? Feel like telling us what they all are? I only recognize a couple of them by finish etc.

Google, P&C, Smokingpipes...I couldn't find a stem marker like this. Anyone help me with this? I'm more curious than anything. Thanks.
