Enabler extraordinaire!
It seems like I have been enabling myself. Here are a couple of GBD beauties I picked up for a song! Layla is looking on in approval!

Kirsten Jewel pipe.
I have received my first B&B member made tobacco. For those not following the Black Sails thread, I brought up that during my first run with pipes (late 80s/early 90s) I had read David Poyer's book The Circle. In that is a character called Captain Packer, and the book said he smoked a blend of 2/3 Latakia, 1/3 burley, and a touch of Cavendish. Price decided to make this in a plug, using Kraken spiced rum as a binder. It has arrived today, and I am stoked to smoke it. I will probably slice some off, then age the rest. It smells great, and I managed not to lick it.
Okay, I'm lying- I licked it

What rational person could say no to that?Excellent try list. Don't want to be an enabler, but you need to get on with this. LOL I don't have any SOE or Gaslight, but I have a truck load of Arango BS. PM your address and I will drop a couple of bowls on you. You must try it.
When was one of those last seen in these parts?What rational person could say no to that?
Fair question.When was one of those last seen in these parts?
