    My Canada Day Long Weekend In Tobermory, ON (PIC HEAVY)

    There doesn't appear to be many people going for a swim. I jumped into the St.Lawrence last weekend and almost went into cardiac arrest! It's been a slow start to the summer here.

    Pipe Tobacco Ottawa

    Some argue that the cost of shipping from 4noggins is a little high but for me, it is worth it. I tend to order a pound or two at a time so it makes it very worthwhile.

    Tobacco Question

    How about Britt's Balkan from 4noggins?

    Tobacco Rotation

    I have 25 varieties in Mason jars and 5 pipes. I smoke whatever I feel like in whatever pipe I want. I try to only have one smoke each day in any particular pipe, though. I don't usually have more than 3 or 4 bowls in a day. I'm not sure if this was the best plan however, as I find myself...

    Amazing Castello Flame

    I want it. I wouldn't pay more than $500.00 for it...but I would LOVE to have that pipe. There is just something so...evil...about it. I would love it and smoke it every day and call it George.
