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.
Another pound of Best Brown Flake from my P&C backorders. Looks like the pound of 5100 shipped as well, and should be here Saturday. That leaves only about a dozen various tins still outstanding.
Hirsute
Used to have fun with Commander Yellow Pantyhose

Sweet! Looks great. Love my Kirstens.
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

It does smell rather intoxicating.

I just realized that my "tobaccos to try" list is visible in the first picture
Yeah I thought that looked like a shopping list.

That's too cool. I need to go catch up on that thread.. snd a dozen others!
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.
What rational person could say no to that?
When was one of those last seen in these parts?

Fair question.
Sounds scrumdidleyumpcious

The left one looks lovelyDon Warren pipe socks.
Just picked up some Orlik Golden Sliced, and I am really enjoying it. I get a few bright notes of citrus throughout the bowl, and the few bowls that I have had were smooth and cool.
