We’re on Maui

I told my wife it’s time to move. Hawaii bans tobacco shipments to the islands unless you are a licensed retailer. Looks like I can still buy from individuals, so there’s a silver lining. This state is going the way of California.

Just been nursing my desktop humi and picked my head up for a look around. Thank goodness for Johnny O!

It looks like Cuba raised their prices 4x since the last time I looked. Short supply, inflation, or both? This is insanity.

Some old Dunbar in a Todd Bannard blasted bent pot. Love this stuff!

Snagged some Esoterica from Mars this week, first time in a while. Super stoked, Dunbar, Dorchester, Tilbury, and some Sobranie for good measure.

Smoking a Boli Tubo No. 2 that's been sitting happily in its tubo for years, and it's flippin' amazing. I second the leave the tubed, tubed, crowd.

Old Joe Krantz in a 1998 Ashton Pebble Grain XX paneled billiard, with coffee.

Stoked to see the pipe forum being so active! I'll have to post in here more. I've been going through some bulk Old Joe Krantz while breaking in a new pipe, a BST blasted bent pot. If you don't have a pipe from Todd Bannard, the guy's a wizard. He's most active over on PipeSmokersDens.com.

Just got home and the package was there waiting! What an excellent selection of sticks and treats. A couple of special ones from Andorra I haven’t had the opportunity to try, very excited to let them rest and settle in with a cup of coffee. Mahalo Santa!

It'll make it, all of the mail is slow right now. We're out of town until the 8th, so maybe we'll make it back to Maui at the same time!

Wow Santa, you sure are coming a long way! Thank you and a very Merry Christmas to you and yours!

I remember that story BBS. Herman, I’d bypass the clerk and let the owner know, especially if it’s your normal shop. If you get the same reaction BBS did, find a new normal shop 😄

Man, it’s been a while since I’ve actually posted anything. Been more of a lurker. Took our little dachshund out in the yard for some playtime, along with my coffee and a HdM petit robusto. Tasty smoke, HdM just has a way of pairing with coffee so well.

Hey there Santa! You got it right, ISOMs are what I reach for 99% of the time, and it’s usually a Bolivar 😍 I have not had the chance to partake in a Rudolph Rocket, but it does sound intriguing, haha! Thank you Santa, I’m sure whatever you throw in that big red sack will be perfect. Merry...

In! My favorite time of year. Ya bastids.

Funny these habits we have. The last time I checked in it was Old Joe Krantz in the Peterson Grafton 01 with Stumptown coffee. Today, it's the same ;)

This thread has really picked up since I've checked in! Smoking some Old Joe Krantz (bulk) in a Peterson Grafton 01, with a mug of Stumptown coffee, watching the game and keeping one eye on the mailbox. Loving the Christmas season!

Freebern has it spot on. Mason jars for any tobacco that you aren't going to smoke right away. I live in Hawaii, which is pretty humid, so I can keep tobacco in a baggie or opened tin and smoke through it before it gets too dry. If you live somewhere like Nevada, chances are it wouldn't last...

Good looking fakes?
