I'm still trying to find my space in the non-aromatics. |

I mean if its something I want, and it's something i can inspect before I buy(this is actually a big one), and it supports a local business, and i can have it now(this is the important part  ). I have no problem paying MSRP over some big wholesaler like smokingpipes that just moves product.

I have no problem paying MSRP over some big wholesaler like smokingpipes that just moves product.I am of the same mind. Especially the 'have it now' bit. The manager lady dove in to how she finally got the owner to let her order in some mid-range pipes between the cobs and the collection of pipes in the locked case, and that a lot of them have been there since they opened (probably 18 years ago, IIRC. This is my hometown) So I could mayne beat her up a bit if I buy some more tobacco. Maybe something to do tomorrow, they had a good bit of Cornell & Diehl |

Retirement is the ideal time to enjoy pipes. You’ll have so much more time to slow down a bit and do everything at its own pace. Before I retired, it felt like I was constantly rushing from one crisis to another. If anything needed to be done in the interim, it felt like I only had time to do a half-ass job. Weekends, when not dealing with a work crisis, were mostly about doing as little as possible to recuperate from the stress and late nights. |

A couple months ago I bought small packs of Captain Black Original and Lane 1-Q. They taste so similar I just blended them together in a jar. Had a bowl after lunch today. Attached File Attached File The pipe tool is a vintage Richards, made in England, that I got on eBay. Attached File |

I don’t have a problem, I don’t have a problem, I don’t have a problem. Most of the tins are non-aromatic. so its not as lopsided as it looks, though im definitely way more aromatic heavy. Haven't tried the deluxe navy rolls yet, it doesnt smell as I expected, but not in a bad way... just different than what i expected.  |

Let us know how you like 'em. I don't know if I am experienced enough yet to offer a good opinion, but I plan to smoke it this weekend and I will let you know how it goes! I pretty much bought it because Malcolm Guite said it was his favorite, so I donno if that means i will like it or not, but he was definitely the number one factor that influenced me to start the hobby so I figured I would try it. |
