If you visit and the page looks, well, new, you're good to go! If you visit and the page looks like it was designed in 2000, the new info hasn't propagated to your ISP yet - just give it time and you'll catch up. I expect servers around the world to take another 48 hours. Anyway, we're doing $5 off $50 orders using coupon code NEWSITE. We don't have a ton of pipe stuff but we do have a fresh shipment of Balkan Sobranie, McConnell Oriental, Chonowitsch T15 and T17, Newminster 403, etc. And, of course, lots of cigars if you're keen to those. Enjoy!
The site looks really good,especially the prices. Can't wait until I get my tobacco allowance !Quote:

Rattray's Marlin Flake (~65%) and Gawith Hoggarth Sweet Maple Twist (~35%) in a 1961 Barling's Make #5179 saddle billiard. Lovely combination.
Bryan, (@BryGuySC), thanks for the Sweet Maple Twist, it's delicious.
Just finished smoking Edward's Bishop Burley in a 1970s smooth straight grain Savinelli Oom Paul Non Pareil 9504 with a horn ferrule.
Curiosity got the better of me. Had to take a peek at Whiskeykake.

I only opened it for a minute, honest. It's back under pressure already. I'm not sure why there's a large, slightly sticky mass in the center (where it's noticeably darker) - maybe because I had to jury rig the whole thing and I'm pressing it unevenly, so it's forcing some of the moisture to that area - but that's not a big concern. This stuff is oily as heck and it smells absolutely divine. I will say that for using only a touch of latakia, 5%, it smells fairly strongly of it. And the perique, which accounts for 20%, is very pungent too.
Anyway, I'm putting my pipe down and lighting up a Behike. Haven't had a cigar in a while, and I've earned this one. I also brought a smidge of Pappy rye and a smidge of EH Taylor rye, so that'll be my late lunch.
Time for a short smoke: Vincent Manil La Brumeuse Semois in a straight 2012 MM Pony Express cob.
The last of my stash of Newminster Superior Navy Flake in a 1979 straight smooth Dr. Grabow Grand Duke 45 pot.
Stonehaven in a 1998 smooth medium bend Peterson Limerick 69 with a nickel band. Two bowls worth left.
Rattray's Marlin Flake (~60%) and Gawith Hoggarth Sweet Maple Twist (~40%) in a 1982 Ser Jacopo Gemma Rubino canadian.
Bryan, (@BryGuySC), thanks again and I'm making notes in my Tobacco Field Notes journal :).
