    How was your weather today?

    We finally have a nice warm spring day. The frogs started croaking last night, the cherry blossoms are about to pop. Welcome relief from a long hard winter for us. Gotta enjoy how nice it is on our island before the tourists start rolling off the ferry in droves. Too bad I still have another...

    PSA - my brewery is under new ownership!

    Rande, I haven't been on BOB for the past few months as I've been starting up a new firm. Big congrats to you and the team. As a CPA, nothing is more satisfying than working with clients through the transition of a business they have worked so hard to build. I'm excited to taste and see the...

    GL Pease Blends

    I second idbowman. Telegraph Hill is fabulous! Others I really enjoy are Sixpence, Quiet Nights and Blackpoint. Blackpoint is sublime after 3 years of aging.

    The Great Best of the Best of the Best Aromatic Project

    I second Autumn evening. It is by far my favorite aro. I've also wanted to try Pennington Gap. This gives me a reason to buy some and send a sample your way.

    Your late evening unwind smoke...

    We've had some wonderful evenings lately. Hanging around the upper 60s low 70s. I've been on a big VaPer kick so it's been Telegraph Hill, Anniversary Kake or Solani Silver Flake. I just have started trying the later two and they're incredible.

    Deception Pass, let's talk about it.

    I'm ordering a tin of this on my next order, if for no reason other than Deception Pass is about as close as you can get to my home as you can get. It's a beautiful place.

    Bruyere St Claude on Smokingpipes

    Thanks for the review Kevin. There was one I almost pulled the trigger on yesterday. I'm going to keep watching to see what comes up.

    Bruyere St Claude on Smokingpipes

    You may have seen that Smokingpipes.com has been selling these pipes from the early 20th century. Anyone bought one? How do they smoke? They look nice but also seem like they could end up being expensive basket pipes. They sure are selling them fast!

    Health Care

    I really feel for you. I've watched some of my clients spend an unbelieveable amount of money on their treatments. I urge you to NOT sell your house. This is going to sound like a terrible recommendation but medical bills are dischargeable in bankruptcy. The bankruptcy system was designed for...

    A NEW blend in the Patton line at 4-N's!

    Dark Horse is wonderful. I really started liking it after I let it age about 6 months.

    I'm all for a free market and the laws of supply and demand

    I'm going to throw a little fuel on the fire here. I normally avoid controversy but I'm pretty passionate about pricing and value. I have absolutely no problem at all with what they've done on BS or the Esoterica blends. In fact, I'd do the same thing. I am a firm believer in pricing for value...

    R.A.T.S. Rarely Available Tobacco Signal

    And they're already out of stock.

    Supposed 'Hard to Find' tobaccos.

    This is going to be unpopular. People will pay for what they perceive is valuable. What I don't understand is why Esoterica or the retailers don't increase the prices to reflect that value. Wine prices especially vary wildly. Even cigars, beer, spirits, etc vary. Tobacco prices aren't all that...

    Fundraiser for a Friend

    I jumped in too. I normally shy away from these things but it seems like a great cause.
