I pity you guys who have to explain your purchases to your wife. We are working on our 45th year and my wife knows me well enough to know I'm not going to spend more than we can afford.
I agree with @PappyJoe, I pity you guys who have to explain your purchases to your wives. After 57 years of marriage my wife doesn't question my pipe and tobacco purchases or..... is she just confident in my stage of training???
It's less explaining my purchases than it is explaining exactly why I need another pipe that looks like all the other pipes when she is of the opinion "what's wrong with the one you already have?" It's a Sisyphean struggle explaining my point over and over to her. 😉
@PappyJoe I never spend more than I can afford. I think it stems from both her parents died from smoking related illnesses. They both smoked about 5 packs of cigs a day. Hardly anything close to my one of two bowls a day. I guess she doesn’t appreciate the hobby. Oh well. It is what it is.
Yahoo! Mail-call at lunch. I was down to just a couple of bowls of C&D “Espresso”…took care of that😬. Decided to finally grab some Capstan and see what all the fuss is about (although, my tongue and I seem to enjoy burley’s more than virginia’s). There’s no accounting for taste, right @vtgrad2003🤔. I had to add the MM Twain to get free shipping….right? Ten bucks more (shipping) for nothing, or ten bucks more for another pipe🤔. It’s a no brainer.😉
More loot today, just not tobacco. My buddy printed these up for me. The red and black rings are gaskets for a small plastic jar that had candy in it that I wanted to repurpose to store tobacco in. It didn’t have a seal, it does now. The other one is for an actual tobacco humidor glass jar with a walnut cap which had a plastic lid glued into the walnut cap. It has a humidistat in the cap, but no gasket seal…it does now🙂.
The small container on the far left that still has the lid on it is the one I bought from MM the other day. He made one copper regular size, one copper thin large, four black thin large, and one black thick large. I think I may use some for airgun pellet portable storage. Most are made of PLA material which is not considered food safe. Two of the thin large black ones are made from PETG which is food safe.
@Beetleman I'm a fan of Davidoff Danish blend. When you open the tin you get a huge aroma of cocoa, but when you smoke it, it has a very light flavor to the point of bordering on the bland side. That being said I do enjoy it. Not a strong tobacco at all. It's kind of a mild everyday smoke.
Okay, so I'm getting rid of some experimentals that I didn't care for, and I have the following for sale
1 Jackknife Plug 4 oz Founding Fathers 4 oz Cherry Cavendish (one bowl smoked out of it) 4 oz Virginia #1 1 tin Virginia Flake
Value from SP is $58.65
Does anyone want this for $10 plus shipping? I have no idea what shipping would be but it should be less than $10, so you would be looking at no more than a $20 investment. YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT ALL OR NOTHING.

Sorry, my taster is out of whack. Thought it started off pretty mellow, then pretty good half way through.
I am liking the Thin Mint this morning.
Let me know what you think!
I gave you a Haha, but it really isn't funny. I HATE waiting for stuff that should be here already...
I feel your pain...😟
