Sailor.....after retiring the Navy, you should start your own business running a retirement home for Nature sick old American Farts . I think I could die happy there. Sorry,didn't mean to make it sound so morbid. But it really is pretty there. Make sure to let the Board know that in your report.:beer1:

I have a newly opened tin of Cornell & Diehl opening night that I just don't care much for. I've smoked 3 bowls out of it. If any one is interested in a trade or just wants it pm me and I'll send it out.
Smoked this Ben Wade last night.

Another no pipe entry, but smokingpipes.com has Cornell & Diehl bulk tobacco on sale for 20% off through the end of September and they carry 84 of their blends in bulk. Have 4 pounds of Exclusive in my shopping cart now. Free shipping if order is over $95. Just like SRD, I don't work for them, just give them my money.
You gents really enjoy your pipes. I love the smell of that pipe smoke, but I have never smoked myself. I guess working in the medical field you get to much back rap from the non smoking world.
As soon as I get over my SR addiction and spending my money on shaving products I will have to get myself a nice pipe to smoke after a nice shave and a smooth women.
How much can you expect t pay for a decent pipe?
You can pay as little as $5.00 to $5,000.00+...
As a new beginner, I would recommend a MM Cob for a first pipe... They have some nice shapes, bowl sizes and if pipe smoking isn't for you, you haven't invested a lot of money in it...
Also, there is no break in period, all tobacco smokes well in them, there is no real science (stuff & puff) and you can customize them with a nice stem...
