So, here is what happens. I forgot, when I ordered the Peterson Army Mount pipe, that I was out of rubber pipe bits. I had to order some. Then, as always happens, I start looking around and end up with more cigars and pipe tobacco. First world problems.

Today is a two pipe day!

Got this new Radice pipe.

Also picked up this Kim Jongwook estate pipe.

ShawnOL · May 19

That Jongwook is a looker.

Nice set of pipes, Steve.

Stubble · May 19

Thanks fellas!

ShawnOL · May 20

@stubble sent me some more samples. Some new-to-me and a couple I already know I enjoy. Thanks, Steve.

Hit a couple small to Tobacco shops in NH

Got these in today. Time for some experimenting. Stokkebye's vanilla in the big bag.

ShawnOL · May 27

Nothing special. Just some cheap pipe rests. 8/$10 on Amazon. Only needed 3 rests but extras are always useful. Certainly not very photogenic or fancy.

ShawnOL · May 27

@stubble says these get the job done.

I could smell the tobacco in the mail box the minute I opened the door

A bit on the dry side for aromatics. Not a whole lot of aroma. Might have been a waste of money.

ShawnOL · May 30

Nope, they seem smokable enough.
Anyway, got this in today. Now to see when KBV will make some more Sakura.

ShawnOL · May 30

Seems to me it would be easier to put it all in one bag.

@ShawnOL , I don't think I've ever seen anyone else dive head-first into pipe smoking like you have. It's been a wonder to watch. Most folks just start with a pipe or two, find a tobacco they like and pretty much stick with it for a while before they start getting curious about what else might be out there. At least, that was me. You've been like the George S. Patton of new pipe smokers. Unchained aggression on the march.

I hope you're getting a lot out of it, it usually takes people some time to get the hang of it. Most give up before they've spent enough time to understand the how's and why's. Sort of like they're saying "If I have this much trouble crawling, I don't think I need to learn how to walk".

Now if we can get @Bob_Luken on board, who knows what could happen? Sky's the limit.

ShawnOL · June 2

Using pipe smoking to replace cigarette smoking. 3-4, maybe 4-5, bowls per day. I smoke when I have the urge and put it down when I feel temporarily satisfied. But yeah, I tend to jump into things head first .

ShawnOL · June 2

I'm sure bob-mike has a spare cooler he could use for pipe tobacco.

How long do you think this will stay fresh in the original, sealed bag?

Yakster · June 10

A month or two, maybe more depending on ambient temp and humidity.

ShawnOL · June 10

Thanks, Chris.

Got the last of my pipes in today.
Hopefully I've got it out of my system for a while.

Had a moment of weakness last night. Ordered a couple Stanwells.
Both from the discontinued Brazilia line. One is unsmoked.

I saw another one I really, really liked. Trying not to order it.

ShawnOL · June 11

Bought it. It really is a sickness. I need an intervention.
