in Pipes
I just placed a nice order of tobacco with the rest of my Christmas money. Trying several new blends and am very excited to get the order. Anybody else pick anything up interesting?

    I think that it would be interesting to get a pipe, but some of my other hobbies cost more than enough. My wife would not be happy.

    The great thing about a pipe is that it really costs as much as you want it to. You can pick up an OK pipe and all the supplies along with a few oz. of tobacco for $50. Then just add a tin or 3 on your next big cigar purchase and you are all set!

    I have been smoking pipes for just over 3 yrs. now and it has actaully helped with cigars as I am down to 1 a day normally. That means better cigars too!

    The only Christmas money I have seen is the money we budget (promptly forget budget and eat Ramen) for the grand kids.

    Ahh, ok I know falcons. Yeah, B&M pipes can be a little outrageous.

    Man! You have a very nice start on some great tobacco blends. I hope you are enjoying some of them. Although you will be tempted try not to open too many tins at one time. They are great for aging just as they are and it looks like you have enough there for a very long time!

    It is hard not to open them all! lol! I broke up a couple of the large MacBaren bags so I can have one jar open and age the rest... As for the tins, I really need to smoke what I have open. I only opened bagpipers dream, and I'm glad I did. It could turn anyone into an aromatic smoker... It's by far the best I've come across.

    I have not tried BPD yet. I am not a big aro fan but I am always looking for a good one. I will have to put it on my wish list.
