I know this is a long shot, but I'm looking to buy and/or trade for some of the extinct GL Pease blends. Syrian latakia is my favorite varietal and I'm always trying to stock up on the stuff, particularly the ever-classy Bohemian Scandal. Probably my most compelling trade right now is Esoterica Ston...

Thanks! I'll look into it.

So a family friend recently gave me an old Total Shop, and I'm trying to figure out how to turn it into a working lathe without spending too much. Since I'm going to want to invest in a full lathe at some point, I don't want to dump too much money into this thing; on the other hand, I'd like to get ...

I haven't the slightest idea what I'm talking about, but that is a very sexy pipe if you ask me.

Hot damn! That is absolutely gorgeous... now when can I get one?

Wait wait wait... we're off track again. Nobody's posted pics of Todd Johnson's penis pipe yet.

I offered $2 and some leftovers from this Thanksgiving, but the seller didn't seem interested. It's a shame; my family makes some damn fine stuffing and cranberry sauce.

I'm not sure that this conversation hasn't run its course, but I would like to see an explanation of the purpose behind the undercut if it is indeed an intentional feature. It definitely breaks the line and, to me, it looks weird. So what does it do to benefit the overall presentation of the pipe if...

I think this is just growing pains. In the last decade or so, there have been a huge number of twenty- to thirty-somethings who watched The Lord of the Rings and/or The Hobbit, remembered that their grandfather smoked pipes, and then picked up a corncob and some tins of tobacco. And it was inevitabl...

There is a report function on eBay, and we should probably be using it even if nothing comes of it. Someone might save some poor slouch $3,000 on a Nordh with fissures.

I like this thread because now I know who Nate King is. Those steampunk pipes are weird and fascinating and I want one. Congratulations on making the cover, Nate!

Blender: Vincent Manil Blend Name: Val Ardennais - Réserve du Patron Description on Package: None, unless you count the giant Belgian “smoking kills” warning label. The packaging is otherwise very attractive , to my eye. Leaf: Long ribbons, mostly nut brown in color , with some tans and lighter sha...

There is now, Wayne. Thanks for the idea.

Go forth and taste, gentlemen (and lady)!

You'd do the right thing putting them in a humidor. I'd even suggest doing the same with the Semois. The reason it's so dry is to prevent mold while shipping etc, but in a clean environment a humidor should be perfect. I don't smoke cigars much and don't have a humidor, so my semois is going in a p...

And thanks for doing this.

I second this.

Man, David has me regretting my decision to avoid splurging on a giant box of midget-cigars.

You are a true gentleman, sir. Thanks for posting!

You people and your monies.

It seems like FedEx would do better for shipping internationally; I assume they'd be able to track it into the other country most of the time rather than handing it off to the local P.O. Anyone have experience with this? Or is it just prohibitively expensive?

Cool. The doc requires permission to access, so you should have an email from Google somewhere in your inbox.
