Happy birthday brother!

Operation Humidor Restock is underway! I could have bought a few boxes of these back then for what they cost now. o_O

Careful guys, those tips are almost touching! 😂 Another Padron '64 Principe, man these are good.

Smoking a Padron ‘64 Principe from this gentleman in the background, and it just so happens he is taking orders! Promise I’m not a shill, but damn this cigar is smoking out of this world 😂

Sending you an email Jim!

Been gone a while, catching up. Well, shit. You'll be missed Doc.

Been burning through a couple tins of Old Joe Krantz, alternating between an Elwood (early Les Wood) root billiard and a Castello small billiard that just makes this blend sing. Perique in this blend is the chef's kiss.

If you have yet to order from Jim, he's the best in the biz and has been for years. Wouldn't be CP without him!

Principe from our own @Keystone_Raider. A gentleman and a scholar.

Sorry I missed this, I’ve been on the mainland enjoying time away from island life! We don’t have any proper B&Ms on Maui sadly. You can sometimes find cigars in places like the Foodland RD Fields counter. Did you have any luck?

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.

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 😄
