The grain is really cool.

Nice, where'd you find it? Those salt grains look fairly big. What kind of salt did you use?

Actually, on "the bay" and I'm using sea salt. I read something about not using table salt, so I'm giving it a try. Not sure if it actually makes a difference.

I also found these at our Goodwill.
Twenty-two jars for under $4!

Received my IPSD order from Smoking pipes today. A couple 1 oz samples of Lane 1-Q, C&D Haunted Bookshop and Bayou Morning. Came with a free sample of Newminster No.400 Superior Navy Flake. I also figured I'd give the three flavors of Pipa a try, for $5 ea., if nothing else I'd get a couple extra cobs out of it. 2 of them are MM cobs and seem good but the vanilla came with a cheap Chinese cob that looks horrible. Oh well for the price I think I came out ahead.

Here's the Chinese cob

I can't see the pipe for all that cleavage.

Marketing at it's finest...

Share your thoughts on the Bayou Morning-- I'm thinking of grabbing some while C&D is on sale at SP.com

I'll probably try some tomorrow night, will report back then

I bought four ounces of Sherlock's Blend from Tinder Box. I don't smoke a ton of pipe, but I like that blend.
