    Tinbids Experiences?

    Nothing but good experiences so far. Maybe a dozen transactions as seller. Sure, I‘d love for their cut to be less but their service really takes all the hassle out of the equation. They provide a worldwide population of buyers. They handle all of the go between. They provide the shipping labels...

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    Using my trusty 8614 for my first trip on The Royal Yacht. Gotta say I’m really liking it…..very much. Three bowls in so far over the last day. So far I’m a fan.

    On Smoking Slowly and the Benefits...

    This is probably the best pipe smoking advice I’ve received. I have been smoking 1-2 years now. I read this post maybe 4-5 months into this and thought it was sound advice. Then I promptly forgot it until recently. I have tried to follow these principles since then, along with consistently using...

    Thanks. If we go to Savannah while we’re down that way I’ll check it out.

    Good advice. This will be our first vacation this early in the summer. We have always gone July/August. Maybe it won’t be so bad. Thanks.

    Yea, that’s what I found. Hoping I was wrong. Going there for a week in June. Wanted to find a place to check out and enjoy my pipe. Can’t smoke inside where we’re staying. Too hot outside at the beach in June for my tastes.

    Any C&D Tuggle Hall Fans?

    You’re right. So far I’ve enjoyed the results. It’s not a Nightcap clone, probably never will be, but it’s in the neighborhood and the fun of doing it and the savings is where the reward is.

    Any C&D Tuggle Hall Fans?

    I am by no means a Perique expert but so far have been using Sutliff’s TS-20 Perique when adding to other blends. Not bad but I need more experience before passing judgment on it. When that is gone I may try another version.

    Any C&D Tuggle Hall Fans?

    I’ve never had Tuggle Hall but like you I love buying bulk to save money. Also like you, I love 965. If you try Tuggle Hall let us know what you think. My all time favorite blend, bulk or tin, is Arango Balkan Supreme. Similar make up to 965 but at bulk pricing. I have several different blends...
