what is your latest pipe purchase

I still think you ought to try Gaslight

Gaslight is definitely on my short list to try. It will find its way into an order soon.

There are several GL Pease blends I'd like to try. The only one I've had is Abingdon, which I did enjoy.

Finally found some. I was in Ft. Smith (nearly 3 hours from home) taking the LSAT today and couldn't resist checking out the local pipe and cigar shop. They had Penzance in stock. $20 a tin but I didn't know when I'd find anymore, so I picked one up. I would have bought more but after staying in a hotel and eating out at restaurants for a day and a half, I didn't want to spend more money.

Man it is really good. The hype is justified with this one.

Maybe my fortune finding this in stock is an omen and set the stage for a good score on the test. Fingers crossed.

First of all, good luck on the LSAT score!

Re Penzance, y'all are making me feel guilty - There's a B&M in Charlottesville, VA who often has it in stock. I get down there for business once in a while, and pick up a few ounces when I can. I think the owner is now realizing how rare it is, and how lucky he is to be on Esoterica's distribution - every time I go there it's about $2 more per ounce

Thank you for the well wishes friend.
And yes, I'm a little jealous.

A small tobacco order for me.

I'm out of Peterson Irish Flake so I picked some up. Also trying some SG Skiff Mixture. Haven't tried it and I like Oriental forward English blends so thought I'd give it a shot.

Picked up a few more ounces of Penzance

Picked up some McClelland St. James Woods, Dark Star, and Blackwoods Flake last week, with the 20% CI discount.

Picked up four 10 packs (Padilla, PDR, and Nica Libre) during CI's 10 pack with free 20$ gift card deal a while ago. I planned on spending about 100$ on D&R tobaccos anyway, so the cigars ended up basically being free.

With this whole FDA debacle, I'm planning on a few hundred dollars dropped on C&D bulks, figuring it'll be as good a time as any in smokingpipes runs a sale on C&D bulk in the next few months. If not, I may go through mars cigars (29$ a pound for C&D) and grab some cobs from them while I'm at it.

Looks like no G&H purchases for me, since I'd rather have 2x as much C&D for only a little more $. Too bad, I like G&H but I can't convince myself that I need anything more than a few ounces of ennerdale for posterity.

I think I must be the only guy in the tobacco community who isn't that worried about the FDA. I think government will do what government does, prolong and drag this out for years to come. If not, I guess I will have poop on my face.

You really can't go wrong with either G&H or C&D IMO. But I think the correct answer is really to buy them both myself

Plus, if I had to lose one of those two, I'd have to drop the C&D. G&H are producing what I consider the best tobaccos in the world right now

I guess it was Pease who said something to the effect of "tobacco isn't going to get any cheaper". I'd rather lock in my price at 26 bucks a pound for C&D during smokingpipes sale, and get that stuff aging anyway!

I *love* G&H, don't get me wrong. But what a choice. I love, love, love C&D/Runowksi Burleys though. Pegasus is a desert island blend, and haunted bookshop is one of my all time favorite strong smokes. And so many others. If G&H didn't cost twice as much, it would change things a bit though. I do like C&D's less refined style, also, which is hit or miss taste wise for people.
