    Your "Must Have" Blends

    I might, some day, but right now can't imagine getting tired of my two "regular stock" blends of Trout Stream and Butternut Burley. I'd also like to have a nice stash of GLP Westminster, Presbyterian Mixture, and C&D Autumn Evening around for a good long while. If I had enough of those five...

    If you could only pick one...

    Here are some pics from my most recent trip to my favorite spot this past week: Small Stream - Here is a pic showing how tight portions of this stream are. Sometimes we fish with just the top half of the fly rod in these tony stretches. Another shot of the larger portion of the creek. - One...

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

    Ditto. My Brissett pipe is a fine smoker. Being a poor man, my target range is $75-125 for pipes. I have several in that range and a few that are in the $125 - 200's. Four of my favorite pipes are under $100 and are fine smokers including the Brissett ($95), a Peterson Aran XL02 ($75), a...

    Winston-Salem

    I grew up in W-S and Pipes Etc. was the first pipe shop I ever went to and where I purchased my second pipe, as basket pipe. (My first pipe was my grandpa's.) They changed locations a few years ago. They used to have a pretty nice selection of tinned tobacco there along with the jarts of...

    Aromatics

    Those are my two favorite aromatic blends. I'm looking to add 1-2 more to the mix. If you haven't already done so please try the C&D Autumn Evening. Just be careful when you open the tin. You'll want to take a bite.

    Still Here

    I'm in Sanford. We got pummeled. Lowe's flattened. Tractor Supply torn up. Lots of homes fouled up. It missed our neighborhood, though. I work at the local hospital and we were slammed for 4 hours after the storm. Had a couple of deaths, tragically. Sad time. Hopefully we'll be back to normal...

    14th Annual TAPS Show in Raleigh

    Good to see ftrplt and adauria there. It was a great show with lots of goodies. Grabbed a couple of tins from C&D but the one pipe calling my name and beckoning me was a good $75 - $95 out of reach. My wife gets veto power after a certain point. ha ha Maybe next year.

    Anyone else into Black Cavendish?

    Most of my favorite blends have a black cav. in it. I like 'em slightly sweetened, too. I have never tried it alone, but may need to sometime.

    So Let's Say Your State Bans Tobacco Shipment...

    After lamenting the fact that our society has allowed our "government" to do such an action without people storming the state capitol building I would consider the following tobaccos through my tear-filled eyes: (This is assuming the surrounding states - or even all states - have the same sort...

    What are you smoking?

    Leaving this afternoon to go camping. I'm taking my Mike Brissett bent apple with some Trout Stream and my Neerup Classic Sandblast bent apple with some Butternut Burley. These should be good smokes by the fire with some Canadian whiskey.

    Velani

    I received an estate Aldo Velani Longshank 112 as a gift in 2001. It came with a couple of dings in it. It's a fine smoker. I smoke GLP Westminster in it, and it does a nice job for me. I may have to get another some day. They're a great pipe for the $50-75 range most of them fall in.
