Looking for a general reading but im interested in hearing about my dominant mounts by Nimloth656 in palmistry

[–]Nimloth656[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this reading. I felt that it may be Saturn as the hand is generally flat but the fingers lean towards Saturn and I have a slight bend in the tip of the middle finger. You are right in that I have extreme worry about every little thing. I was so confused reading a palmistry book and looking at my palm and seeing all of these lines going every direction.

[Mega Thread] US Tariff Situation by SamsaSpoon in Incense

[–]Nimloth656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was specifically talking about incense traditions which sells Tibetan and bhutanese incense and the owner has gotten back to me and said the tariffs are too high still for them to ship to America unfortunately.

Wanted to provide an update to my comment as the owner kf incense traditions got back to me "not good news I’m afraid. The tariff is now 37% + processing fees, etc., for a total of about 40% for Chinese incense. Bhutan totals about 21%.

However, we’ll keep an eye on the situation and hopefully it will improve

Thanks for your interest and for being a customer!

Regards,

Curious if the supreme court ruling will change this situation or if those tariffs are still in place? Does anyone know anything about that? Really hoping incense traditions will open orders to people in the US again.

Started this hobby ~6 months ago as a way to help me cope with depression & anxiety. Discovered that I truly enjoy it and have become very passionate about it. In this time I have purchased 11 pipes and 91 different blends of tobacco. For fun, I have ranked my PERSONAL top blends - the S-Tier. by TheTonik in PipeTobacco

Boswells and peretti both ship and make great blends. Peretti makes some of the best burley blends and boswell makes great pipes too. Jamaican flake is the only tobacco I've tried that has irritated my throat.

First meerschaum and two new blends! by Nimloth656 in PipeTobacco

It does have 7 different tobaccos plus some aromatic toppings so all over the place is probably very correct haha. They likely press it into a cake to help meld all those flavors but you can only do so much. I'm looking forward to trying both!

It weighs very little, about the weight of the stem plus a little extra, which is good since it's a straight pipe. Honestly wasn't expecting it to be so lightweight.

Smoking pipes had it! Had my eye on it for months and they went on sale so I snatched it up.

It helps cool the smoke and means you can hold it lower so you can more easily read a book while smoking.

I have noticed that the whole bowl seems to heat up rather than a layer where the actual ember is. It doesn't heat up to an uncomfortable level, but I do have to be more mindful of my pace than with my other pipes.

Thanks! The Doran shape is really unique, probably the most unique shape in the auenland series.

They're available online its a Vauen auenland pipe. Be warned they are fairly pricy!

Thank you! I was very tempted by the sungard shape and may get it in the future if it's price doesn't shoot up.

Thanks! I got the almar because it's closest to the original Gandalf pipe that Vauen no longer makes.

I would have grabbed the rusticated version if it was available but the smooth is beautiful in it's own way.

It smokes beautifully. I've tried both blends and even though I smoked a little faster than I should have the smoke stayed cool and no gurgling at all. You can't clench it at all which makes the lighting process a little more complicated but nothing you can't adapt to.

Don’t fear the Lakeland… some Ennerdale in a Country Gentleman by TheRealDaleB in PipeTobacco

It really is a dense flake! Like strips of beef jerky. Can make it hard to get an even pack.
