    B&M owner threw the book at me!

    I stopped by my B&M yesterday to see if they had purchased anything new. When I walked in the door I was greeted by a very energetic almost ADD person whom I quickly guessed was the owner, who was training a new manager as the last one left for greener pastures. When I asked if any new pipe...

    Dried Tins?

    I was asking my B&M if they were planning to get any tinned tobacco and was told it was doubtful. He continued on stating that the last shipment of tins sat for 3 years and when they inspected several they were all dried up. I threw the BS flag and he insisted that was the truth. Sad to say...
