I am sitting in a hotel a scant 6 miles from the CI Superstore in Bethlehem, PA, but the damn hotel van wouldn't drive me because "its outside of our 5 mile range" and they wouldn't drive me 5 miles and drop me off because "thats not safe". BASTARDS I tell ya.:mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2:

Well as I get close to closing on my new house I get close to placing my first order and taking my leap off the cliff into the darkside. Ive had my eye on a few things for a first order. Ive waited because I figured I will treat myself a little to celebrate my first home purchase and I also...

Smoking Pipes just received their first shipment of Christmas Cheer and Holiday Spirit today, that means that the elves are starting to put in extra hours around the shop, and soon Old Santa will be switching from the Gin and Tonics to something a little darker (and stronger) if you know what I...

Not me until this evening when I got home from work. I've heard about them, seen pictures in very few places and they are even more beautiful up close and in person. Each jar contains 25 Cohiba Siglo VI's. The jars have their own humidification device built into the lid. Being the sucker I am...

This is a shameful example of what carelessness can lead to. I have no idea where that number came from. Notice that the post mark is 23 May. They came back today. Big Bull, if you see this please rest assured that my error will be corrected.

So, I'm still very much a noob, even if my stats here let me in this section of the forum... I'm starting to get a feel for what NCs I do and don't enjoy, not even seriously considering hopping into CCs anytime soon. That said, I just saw a post that included pics of a habano RyJ cedros...

Stuck one of my beloved Padrons in my front left pants pocket to light up a little while later. Ended up doing some things in the meantime and when I reached in and pulled out the stick, it was bent, but fortunately the wrapper did not break! Man, that would have pissed me off. I do have one...

Has everyone shipped their bundles for Christmas delivery?

I knew this would happen!!! I woke up turned on the TV and saw some bad news for pipesmokers. Looks like they are going to start a little crackdown on pipe tobacco because some roll your own products relabled themselves as pipe tobacco: Sounds like the Obama Administration is going to close...

I recently did some trading with a distant BOTL. 5er for 5er. So the package comes and I put the sealed bag in my humi. I figured, due to the cold weather I would let them rest for a couple of days. I finally pulled one out to smoke. A Gurkha 12 year aged. I pulled off the cedar and immediately...
