brother, you have NO idea, you can still see table under there. o)Well this seems to be the start of slope # 2
nice pick ups, though!
LOL, I don't doubt you one bit
I'm excited though, I love cigars, but damn they are expensive and hard to fit in time wise... I'm digging the fact that I can sit down for 20 minutes or so and not worry about it as much. Lots to learn yet
Get Boswell's aromatics...Lots of good non Latakia blends that may fit your needs, start simple with some carter hall.... So many aros burn and bite and I think are a bad place to startHappy wife, happy life! A personal favorite is a VA/Perique blend, Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake. It's tasty and ridiculously cheap in bulk.Thanks! The baccy I ordered is either aromatic stuff that sounded good and perique blends. I tend to gravitate to perique since it is a bit spicy and comes from Louisiana, our neighboring state and where much if my family comes from. The Davidoff Flake Medallions is not an aro, yet has a very pleasant room note that my wife may tolerate in when she rides with me in my truck. LOL.Damn fine looking pipe there. Not familiar with the baccy you purchases personally but I'm sure we can all help with suggestions of things to try if you let us know what you like/dislike about the blends you have and have tried. Cheers!
Peterson Irish Harp 606, CAO Moontrance, Davidoff Flake Medallions, CAO Bella Vanilla, C&D Back Porch, and a few others from my BnB Groupon. I am more of a cigar smoker (at least 1 per day) and have smoked a pipe in the past. My first experiences with a pipe resulted in severe mouth burn and a hatred for Latakia. Starting slow and smoking slow this time to hopefully make this go round a pleasant one.
Just ordered an Omar King pipe on eBay! I've been trying to get one since following NWPipeSmoker on YouTube over a year ago. Awesome birds eye grain with one tiny flaw in it that I think looks cool.
Picture to come when it arrives. For those that can't wait...his listing pics:

So, it seems like Captain Black has the reputation of being the White Owl of pipe tobacco. Is this a fair assessment or not (of course, people have different palettes...). I ask because Pipes and Cigars has, as their September special, various Captain Black tobaccos on sale.
Not sure if I should drop some money to try it if it's not that great.
Thoughts?

If you want to try it, get to a CVS before they pull it completely. 80% off last I checked last week. If you don't have one in the area, let me know. I'll send you some. It's nothing special, but still, had to buy it out of principal!
I bought some because it was 80% off and supposedly has a nice room note

a lot of people consider it to be lane 1Q in a pouch. i know it is in a very similar vein. it is what it is, and you should try it eventually.
I'll always vouch for captain black white cause it took my baccy virginity lol. That and I like it more than lane 1q
This. I bought out my local CVS's remaining stock of it, 4 pouches for about $10. Figured even if I hate it (pretty sure I wouldn't) I was only out $10 and could give away the rest.If you want to try it, get to a CVS before they pull it completely. 80% off last I checked last week.

But, it's decent. Not going to pack a bowl with it to sit on the porch with a glass of bourbon, but I'll bring it along in the truck or on the lawn tractor.
hurry to CVS...
I hit 2 this weekend... trying to go for a second haul...
no luck...
both were completely sold out of everything except for cigarettes..
not even a book of matches could be found.. :disappoin

I cleaned the pipes out at the ones near me. I bought a long grill style lighter thinking it'd be on sale, but it wasn't. Oh well the wife won't burn herself with matches lightening candles anymore.

Yup, last chance for anyone that was putting it off. They told me last week that anything left this week was getting pulled and shipped off. Didn't get a specific day, though. I'm going to stop by one more tonight that didn't have its MM cobs marked down yet last week... At less than $2 each, it would be a shame not to grab them up!
Yeah none of mine had any pipes I was sad
I was able to grab 4 cobs, a torch lighter, 2 pouches of Borkum Riff Whiskey (not bad actually), and one each captain black white and black. All under $20
I would've bought em out if they had any cobs
