Wessex Classic Virginia came back in stock late this morning at SmokingPipes. I ordered 5 50g tins. I wanted to buy 20, but orders were limited to 5 tins/customer/day. And it’s already out of stock again. Good pipe tobacco is getting very scarce.
I really like this stuff. Red Virginia with a little Perique, mostly rubbed-out with some clumps. Savory, it is.

Got a few coins of Sweet Rum Twist drying out for a possible trip through the calabash gourd tonight. Pretty small bowl on that pipe tho. If these coins won't fit I may have to opt for a briar

Was in Kansas City this weekend and visited a couple of shops.
I purchased this Peterson at Outlaw Cigars. Cool place if you like it hopping. Very large with 3 different areas.
There were over 100 people there Saturday night. Nice to go and have a cigar and watch football.

Who knows, I may end up liking the process and seek out some more to keep me occupied this winter.
I enjoy bringing them back to life; gives you a real sense of accomplishment.

Yesterday I got in the mail two limited-release Dr. Grabow pipes from the factory. The top one is the "Ajustomatic", a reintroduction of a stem-fitting technology that they haven't used in 20 years. The bottom one is called "The Panel" and it's a hexagonal panel shaped pipe. I bought these by old-fashioned mail order from the Dr. Grabow factory (they are a little bit behind the times in terms of internet marketing).

I think you were saying that the G&H Sweet Rum Twist is HTF?
4 Noggins has some. Just ordered a few ozs yesterday.

It comes and goes. Seems G&H will make a production run of these twists - probably when a certain crop comes in - and then that's it until the next run. Happy Bogie and SRT seem to be the ones that run out first and when they're gone you can't find them anywhere. I've gotten most of my twist stash thru Smokingpipes. Most of my flake too for that matter... the 500g pack seems to be the best deal if you're into stockpiling
