One of the pipe smoking forums I used to frequent did that. From what I remember anyone who wanted to get in put their name and address in. The box started at one spot and made its way around with people taking what they wanted as long as they put something comparable in.

So there it was, a tin of Dunhill's Early Morning pipe. Now those of you who know me, know that I'm a burley codger all the way and not normally prone to English blends but what the hey, says I. So in the parking lot, I load up my trusty Doodler and much to my surprise, this seems like a pretty likeable blend. Quite nice indeed, OJK and Billy Budd are certainly in no danger of losing their places as Big Boys on the Block but I could really see myself smoking EMP on a semi regular basis. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks.

I felt the same about English blends a few months back... So far Boswell's North Woods if my favorite... I have tried several others and they all seem to blend together... I find that I like an English out a cob the best... It smokes well with a Walker Briar works "Forever Stem" that is 4.75" long...

Looking real good. Did you finish them with carnauba?

Now this idea is most interesting. Unfortunately, and thanks to our weird tax laws, receiving samples outside EU would become even more expensive than ordering directly from some US seller :banghead:

Assuming there is only one per day but when I get the pipe out it is usually two a day.

Three have carnauba and one is a catalyzed urethane.

I once got a big box from Italy. It was over 100lbs. The espresso machine shipper declared it as gaskets. That was a heck of a box full of gaskets. They just did not disclose that all the gaskets were in an espresso machine.
