So I'm back in the game with a 35 lb cellar; maybe more. Bought 5 pipes off ebay for $165.00. Don't think I'll be paying 2 and 3 hundred for pipes anymore.
I'd been thinking that when the time was right I'd get a humidor and modestly enjoy cigars. But the cost has me reevaluating. I was at JR the other day and they tried to sell me the Oliva V Melanios. Looked like a rapturous cigar but the $13 single price tag put me off. $13 for one smoke? I don't think so. I just ordered two Den Pepin Blue @$7.50 per.
Don't think I'm going to go down this path just now. They say that if you shop wisely you can get good cigars for $5. I never found this to be so.
I've also been thinking that I would buy some of Stephen Books fabled tobacco. You can get 2 oz of some of his blends for ~$20.00; but for that price I can get what is considered to be expensive pipe tobacco, Solani's Silver Flake, 100 g. Maybe later, Stephen.
