    Sometimes the fates are kind.

    I stumbled upon a pipe on Ebay that seemed to good to be true. I bid anyway, figuring that if it was all a lie, I could send it back and get refunded. It arrived today. Here's a photo from the auction: It's a Wiley Ovation, unsmoked, undented, unscratched, in perfect condition. The grain you...

    This feels weird.

    I have somewhere around a hundred pipes. (I'm too lazy to count them, I'm just going by the empty spaces in the racks 'cause I can remember that one holds 36 and the other holds 75.) I decided a couple of weeks ago to thin that down to something more like 30-50, 'cause who the hey needs a...

    A tale of three tobaccos

    I asked for some suggestions for some Scottish-y type (VA, Oriental, light Latakia, with Oriental on center stage) bulk mixtures, and DrumsandBeer wisely suggested EMP and SG Skiff. I ordered a pound of each of those, and some McClelland #2045, since it kinda sounded like what I was looking for...

    Not seeing a site-related questions forum, so I'll ask here

    I need to change the email associated with my account here-- could anyone offer pointers? All I see is a password change option. Thanks!

    If there's anything better than this, I don't want to know.

    Grousemoor in a corncob-- specifically, a 40-year-old Country Gentleman that my father used to smoke while fly-fishing. This sucker is seasoned, I tells ya.

    Recommendation request

    I'm a big fan of McClelland's Scottish Woods, and am searching for something similar that would be available in bulk. I've already ordered some McC #2045 to try; is there anything else I should be investigating? Thanks!

    What a find!

    I was doing a pipe tobacco inventory today and found some stuff I'd forgotten I had. Among those items was a small mason jar containing four ounces of SG Kendal Brown unscented, still fresh as the day I got it. I'm going to settle in and enjoy!

    I can't find the thread...

    about e-cigs where somebody mentioned Want2Vape's "London," but I wanted to say thanks. Just got some today and it is most excellent! It's such a perfect light English that I keep reaching for my tamper.

    Hamborger

    I came this close to not adding any Hamborger to my latest tobacco order. That &$(& stuff is &$%!!# expensive. 12 bucks more for a 250 than FVF? Gimme a break. It's not rarity that's driving up the price, so what's going on? I guess it's partly my fault for buying it at that price, kinda like my...

    Peterson stingers?

    Does anyone know of a source for the "stinger" dealies Peterson puts in their Deluxes? I have a couple of estates that didn't come with 'em. I'm currently switching the ones I have from pipe to pipe, but it would be nice to have enough to go around.

    Todd Bannards? Let's see 'em!

    Rolling back into Pipeland with some FVF...

    I'd let my pipesmoking slack off for three or four months; was only smoking maybe once a week and not enjoying it all that much. A couple of weeks ago, I decided it was time to show the briars some affection instead of just brushing the dust off of them, so I started smoking every day after...

    A big howdy from Prescott, AZ

    Good to see y'all! Now, where's the Cognac I was promised? I brought pretzels, just to show my heart's in the right place.
