Congratulations on getting tenure. I can't think of a better tin to pop in celebration. I can almost taste it from the photo *sigh*.  :geek:  Craig

Happy IPSD everyone! Keep those pipes burning!  :bounce:  Craig

BBF is one of my top tobacco choices. It's creamy rich flavor is perfect for cubing. I've bought many tins but cellared them all. I split my 250g boxes into two jars, one to smoke in a year the other to keep getting better. My favorite first bowl smoke. Craig

I unfortunately can't enjoy my single malts anymore, medication issues (surprised?).  Now I have my cup of black tea with cinnamon and caramel in the morning, then it's Coke Zero. It pairs nicely with VaPers with it's caramel backing. I get away from the carbonization issues which does ruin the...

JimInks exactly, it can usually be found at the small online shops, which means way too high. They'll sit on the shelf ageing for years,  that may be worth it.   :lol!:  The tins are hard to come by, though I did hit a one day sale six months ago, called them and took all they had at $6.50...

St. James flake tin and bulk at SP. Craig

I've had so many over the years. Right now it's loving my family, re-building my woodshop, learning new woodworking techniques/remembering my skills from the 80's, computer gaming, music (classic hard rock and heavy metal), learning all I can about the wonderful world of pipes and tobacco...

In Pennsylvania they've set a criteria for certain bars to allow smoking. My wife works at one and business took a big jump because of it. I've not been to many of these smoking bars but all have been light cigars only and forget pipes. I'm not a drinker so bars are not my thing. There's a...

I'm not sure if this was posted on the site. I wasn't aware that Rad Davis had a heart attack and surgery last week and wanted to pass on this quote. A speedy and fast recovery Rad and get back to blasting the hell out of everything! To All Who Have Pipes on Order With me: Some of you may...

Utube has many videos of different ways people have accomplished this with little expense. Craig

Happy New Year all! Hope the year brings good health and all you desire.  :cheers:  Craig

Merry Christmas to all my new and old friends here at BoB. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and may 2014 bring you all good health and all your heart desires, or at least want.  :lol!:  Craig

Hope everyone had a great Christmas! I finally found a way to get what I really want for Christmas from my kids. I printed out a shopping cart from 4Noggins and handed it to them and said "everyone pick a couple and send it in." It worked and got what I really wanted, not more junk I'll never...

No video, but a song from a good friend of mine, Ronnie James Dio passed away in 2010. Ron and Ronnie were actually very good friends, and Ron sang at his memorial service. I've met many so-called rock stars, but none was a complete surprise as Ronnie. I first met him with Rainbow with Richie...

Forever \m/ Merry Christmas! Craig

East of the 'Burgh in Monroeville we only got hit with a couple inches and freezing rain, which is worse on the roads here with everything being uphill. I can't take the cold with or without snow, so I just look at it from inside the house and wait. It's the 'burgh and could be 70 degrees in a...

I'm new to posting here and still getting the feel for this forum. But I notice a lot of pipe makers and probably many people who refurbish pipes. So I thought you might be interested in these two links. This is the harbor freight heat gun for $9.99. I have one and used it to bend stems, remove...

Thanks Roth for a great review. Your advice has been invaluable and very glad to call you my friend. I enjoy my Perique in phases, starting light early in the day moving on to the fruitier versions and then the pepper at night. We never talked about Beacon before, or I may have just forgot. But...

Like many blends being rushed to meet demands they need to age. After reading the reviews on JK I knew it needed a year. It's a great smoke and not having access to many plugs like the Europeans it's a nice change of pace in preparation and smoking. Found a tin at the local B&M dated 3/13 so it...

@derlict311 Thanks I'd forgotten all about pipestud. I've seen him list on Ebay many times. The couple things he had tins listed when I looked either didn't interest me or people were bidding crazy. The Beacons ('06,'07) and Pease laurel heights ('06) looked good for $10 each. Will probably be a...
