    Moving East - Baltimore or Boston - Experience & Opinions?

    I'm from Philadelphia originally, so I spent a lot more time in Baltimore/DC than Boston. That being said, I did spend an inordinate amount of time in New England as well over the years. I personally prefer New England over the Mid atlantic (excluding Philadelphia, of course, home is home...

    Thoughts on Frog Morton?

    Original was what I started with, but I really dig all of them.

    Greetings from Snowdonia, North Wales (UK)

    Welcome! I have family in Wales still I believe (Reese surname). Beautiful country. In any case, enjoy your stay here at BoB.

    G&H Dark Bird's Eye Availability

    OK, so THIS is why I couldn't get my Bob's Choc last week. That makes me a lot less nervous about the potential for the SG malady hitting the GH stuff. I even refrained from posting about it because I didn't want to spark a buying frenzy. What this says to me, then, is all our pipe brethren...

    Can you get Good quality pipes for a hundred bucks or less.

    I have a pretty decent collection of Petersons that were all under $100. My only complaint is they don't really pass the pipe cleaner test of running from stem to bowl. But they smoke pretty well and I'm pleased overall. Stanwell and Sav both produce extremely reasonably priced pipes, some of...

    Awesome Dunhill tobacco history

    A great timeline/history. I've just recently taken the plunge and purchased a pretty complete compilation of currently available blends. While I know they are not what they used to be, I'm honestly blown away by Nightcap, London Mixture, and my new primary tobacco, My Mixture 965. Oddly...

    Pipe-tinted movie review site

    I'll be honest man, I'm still laughing, literally, at this line. Maybe because it sums up the suspension of, well, normal thinking, required to really get into most any horror picture better than anything I have ever read. Great site dude.

    Gawith availability - update

    I try. Not going to deny the years of hard work and sacrifice that have gotten me to this point. It's really very impressive. I'm glad I can be the beacon on the hill for the pipe smoking community, a true honor. :rabbit:

    Gawith availability - update

    You know, I know a bit about international trade law and I would be happy to assist the importers of SG products with this little issue. The easiest way to do this is just ship everything to Tulsa, Oklahoma. Just air drop a thousand pounds of the stuff to my door and I'll make sure it gets...

    Gene pool cleansing

    It's not the fall that's bad, it's landing on the saw. :roll:

    Is it the pipe or tobacco, or operator error?

    I second Sas' comments completely. Additionally, you might think about trying a bunch of different tobaccos. I searched around on the forum here for past "These are considered the really good tobaccos" threads and chose a few from each major category (VA/Vapers/English/Oriental). I ignored...

    Help with allergies

    +1 for the neti pot. I developed some of the most extreme pollen allergies out there when I moved from PA to OK. Last spring I literally was bleeding from the eyes from the sinusitis (which has as one of its more extreme side effects blocked blood vessels in the sinus + high BP = horror movie...

    Changing Tastes

    Well it's just the damndest thing but I can't make myself smoke anything with latakia in it. It started about a week ago with Deep Hollow, then I moved to Navy Cavendish, then back to the more direct VAs I had in the mason jars; Gowrie, Union Square, Silver Flake. Quite literally a little...
