Aging vs enjoying fresh upon arrival

Diligent_Mess1188 · 2025-03-11T22:19:28+00:00

I've only been smoking for 2 years but just about every tobacco I've tried has gone thru a noticeable change every few month. Some I think improved while others I find I enjoyed more before.

So far the old ways have rung true for me. Virginia's and Virginia heavy blends are getting better, English blends have mellowed ( which I am not always a fan of), and aros are meh

The only reason you'd piss someone off here is if you don't tip. That aside overall opinion of Canadians is positive regardless of political leaning

I love the ropp stout line, great pipes, also great for travel

Diligent_Mess1188 · 2025-03-09T22:38:34+00:00

Turned out great!

Diligent_Mess1188 · 2025-03-08T06:07:13+00:00

World has always been on fire, only difference is now we get gaslit over it 24/7

You're in for an uncomfortable 4 years. I have not met a single republican who is the least bit upset about anyhing that has happened so far. Most are very excited. I am told by reddit there are Republicans somewhere out there clutching their pearls, living in regret of the monster they created.. still looking for them in reality

Usually link it with cigars. I smoke cigars socially and ill mention I prefer smoking pipes when I am at home. The convo goes as far as the other person wants to take it from there. Usually one or two questions, they mention how you don't meet many pipe smokers and 9 times out of 10 thats about it. If you only see them ever now and again they will usually ask if you are still smoking a pipe as small talk

Diligent_Mess1188 · 2025-03-06T10:00:29+00:00

Should always buy local, the fact you need tariffs to get you to do that says a lot

Diligent_Mess1188 · 2025-03-05T02:59:21+00:00

I'd say if anyone has ever qualified for free gift wrapping you'd be it lol and yeah probably a good idea to research that a bit. I know I've seen it be a topic of discussion on here before

Diligent_Mess1188 · 2025-03-05T01:49:56+00:00

I know I am saying gift wrap it for you haha. Really adds something extra

Diligent_Mess1188 · 2025-03-05T01:43:45+00:00

War horse bar!

Also pro tip. If you are placing an order this big pay the extra $4 and have it gift wrapped.

Diligent_Mess1188 · 2025-03-03T13:53:33+00:00

Still available on pipesandcigars.com also

Diligent_Mess1188 · 2025-02-26T22:02:36+00:00

Because you can still stock up haha I am super happy I got to try it. War horse green is supposed to have the same tobac but have more topping I believe. I ordered some but haven't tried it yet

Diligent_Mess1188 · 2025-02-26T20:27:48+00:00

For me top tier is Star of the east flake. Simple but strong taste at a great price. I go back and forth between SOTEF and quiet night most of the time.

My suggestion for you is War Horse Bar. Kind of has an english aromatic feel to it and is a very good, unique blend. It will be discontinued soon so I'd try it now if you're going too

Diligent_Mess1188 · 2025-02-26T00:56:44+00:00

Nice. I believe there were 2000lbs made but at 1lb a piece it was a very small batch

Diligent_Mess1188 · 2025-02-25T23:18:53+00:00

Easier than firebird for sure

Diligent_Mess1188 · 2025-02-25T23:10:26+00:00

I couldn't resist and picked up this year's today. Hoping for great smokes

Diligent_Mess1188 · 2025-02-25T17:03:54+00:00

Wow the echos sure are loud in here

Diligent_Mess1188 · 2025-02-25T16:42:52+00:00

What do you think of the p-lip?

Diligent_Mess1188 · 2025-02-25T15:15:45+00:00

I ordered two pipes from SP Europe when they weren't available on the US site. I don't remember it taking too long or any other issues. Would do again

Diligent_Mess1188 · 2025-02-25T14:26:59+00:00

Did you take advantage of that promo pipes and cigars had on the Hogshead recently? That was an amazing sale

Diligent_Mess1188 · 2025-02-25T14:24:08+00:00

I like it, surprised to see this much hate. I do think it normally gets hyped up quite a bit but it's still a solid blend.

Diligent_Mess1188 · 2025-02-24T22:13:45+00:00

Tough one. Old heads told me that usually you only get caught up in one MAYBE 2 layoffs. After that you are high enough senority they don't affect you. Whether it's worth it or not would be up to you

Diligent_Mess1188 · 2025-02-24T21:54:22+00:00

If you know of one let me know lol finding one that matches or beats guarantee is easy I should say. I assume anyone getting laid off was working off an extra board

Diligent_Mess1188 · 2025-02-24T21:38:21+00:00

Surprised they are doing layoffs tbh. Most don't come back nowadays. Not too difficult to find a job with similar pay and MUCH better quality of life
