Courtesy of mgtarheel . He sent me a message replying to my WTT thread about BS Flake. But he didn't want to trade - he just wanted to set me up with a tin out of the goodness of his heart. Thanks, brother! Really looking forward to trying this one. ...and that's the original one; before the silly name-change to B.S. Flake. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that B.S. meant something else.

Sent to me by an old friend. It’s sculptured using wax and hand carved. You really can’t tell in the picture but this guy enjoying a pipe is just @ 17” tall. I have the perfect spot for this beauty!!!

I'm going to The Danish Pipe Shop next week for supplies; I'll get a pouch of Amphora and ask them about their Bull Flake or maybe it's Samuel Gawith's decision. The overall name-change decision was made by the little nanny bureaucrats in the EU.

I've always been a fan of black and red so the dracula caught my eye immediately when I seen it. A few months ago it was between the Summertime and the Dracula, and I chose the Summertime. I love the way it smokes and I hope the same for this one. Going to do my best not to buy anymore pipes until next June. I doubt it'll work, but I said the same about not drinking a year ago... Congratulations !

Thanks Wolfman. Mail wasn't on time but itll be alright. I have plenty to keep me busy until tomorrow or friday. "Unable to deliver item. Problem with address." That was at 2:56. I got home at 3:10... just missed it.
Building a new shopping cart since the 2 places I ordered from didnt have Sail (for the BoM). I cant make myself order just 1 pouch or tin of something... so back to shopping.
Sure am glad I got a bonus today at work 😊. Another complete remodel finished after 5 very long months!
Would be nice if someone would get H&H Cerberus back in stock..

2 1/2 ounces of Klompen Kloggen via snail mail, as someone around here got it in her head that there hasn't been enough TAD activity going on.

Not tobacco, but it's in the mail! I just won this splendid looking Savory's pot for $25. I think I did well. Don't see any dings or cracks, and the stem looks great.

I've been watching this thing for DAYS, and it's $9.99. Not one other watcher. No other bids. This morning, with 15 mins left, I bid up to $13 just in case. Wouldn't you know it, someone IMMEDIATELY tried to snipe me, and bid 13.50. I fought hard, and won.

...and that's the original one; before the silly name-change to B.S. Flake. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that B.S. meant something else.
I actually wondered if it was a sly jab at the "BS" rules that made them change the name in the first place. There are plenty of other names they could have used, after all!

I noticed that this happens a lot. I thought that was a quirk in the pipe community...apparently not...care to enlighten me?

Legend Lover In the US, the FDA (the regulatory body that rules on these things) decided that some words used by tobacco companies were either misleading or misrepresenting the product and thus banned, examples include Light and Mild. The idea is that these words can make smokers believe that some versions of tobacco products are 'healthier' or less noxious to their health than others. The FDA considers that tobacco itself is unhealthy (i.e. its a question of substance and not of quality) and can't be made to appear 'healthier'. I don't know if the UK's Food Standards Agency does similar work?

I don't know if the UK's Food Standards Agency does similar work? Thanks for that, @cosmicbobo. The UK may have done something similar. Reason why I picked up on it is for holger danske tobaccos, the names are now m and v with a line in the description '(previously called mango and vanilla)'. I wonder is it similar reason for changing to bs flake. Seems to be.

Legend Lover maybe they are unable to prove that the blend contains real vanilla, mango, or brown sugar?
