Pricing isn't great. I still buy majority online. However, if you're going to be in St Paul, I definitely recommend visiting Stogies on Grand. Its a pretty cool atmosphere for B&M.

I refinished one of my first pipes - an entry level Savinelli and it looked the above picture when I sanded it back (dropped it a few times). I think it's fairly common for cheap factory pipes these days. It's one of the reasons i've tried to sink more money into older estates instead of...

was just coming to say this. ordered a few. Gaslight is one of my favorites when i have tmie to prep it up. I've actually picked up a few more dunhill blends because the ribbon cut is so no-nonsense. I can pack those while i drive. MM, EMP are easy to smoke. PS - I've enjoyed the hell outta...

While I was looking forward to this pipe, Steve's action more than made up for it. I've decided I'm just going send the money back his way once he posts something that catches my eye. What goes around should come around (in good ways too)

Hello all, I want to share this experience I've had with a particular ebay seller and my hope is that it will be helpful for the rest of you. I had recently bid and won a Savinelli from seller 'pipestud' I was pretty pumped to get it and received it two days after making payment (those of you...

Quiet Nights in GBD Pot. Its -35 degrees out, so I'm shivering in my garage.

That's pretty crazy because i have a few jars that I've had for about 8 months and they have the sugar crystals all over em. No idea.

 The whole point of bulks is to save money and I only save about 3 bucks between a GLP tin and McC bulks. The OTHER reason for buying bulk is also that some blend/mixtures are NOT available in a tinned version!!  :twisted: What bulks do you feel are worth buying above some of the tinned...

It's ok. I really liked it when I first got smoking, but honestly I have the tin open because it was left over and my younger brother wanted to try smoking a pipe. My favorite english from McC so far has been Old Dog; just a real good honest straightforward blend. Frog is maybe a little too...

Alright so I decided to get 8oz 2030 Balkan and 8oz full english 5110. Here's hoping they are decent since they are pretty much same price as GL Pease blends.

I had looked at the PS blends quite a bit but they all seem to have a good deal of cavendish in them; which I understand to be a filler tobacco. Do I have the wrong impression here?

Sorry for the confusion, the Blackwoods was in a standard 100g tin. I just don't smoke enough straight VA's to need to look at bulk options. Blackwood's is lovely though when I'm in the mood. The reason I'm looking at bulk for english type blends is because I probably smoke them 80% of the...

Thanks for the welcome. I haven't been brave enough to venture towards burleys but I feel really good about the VA's in my stash. Blackwood's flake (VA) and LBF (probably not the best but I have a pound of it) for VaPer. I've also been sitting on a 100g tin of 2012 Xmas Cheer and Dark Star...

Thanks for this - helps a lot. I have a tin of Frog open mostly because i still had it. It's good but not that interesting to me. the heavier flavors and smoke I get out of some of other things I've had (Gaslight, Old Dog, Penzance, Westminster) are just much more interesting to me. That 2030...

Hey all, This is my first real post/thread; I've been reading for about a year now. It's been really cool to read all of your accumulated experience on pipes and tobacco. I've been smoking pipes for about three years now (27 years old). I'm trying to find bulks that are going to scratch my...
