Really have a blockbuster lining up here: - new Peterson St. Patty's Day XLsomething - 1792 Flake - War Horse Bar - SG Squadron Leader - SG Skiff Mixture - LJ Peretti 333 (all burley blend) - LJ Peretti No Name Blend And the mother-lode is assembled... I'll be in the garage for the remainder of the evening... Would love to hear your thoughts on the Warhorse and Skiff Mixture once you’ve tried them. |

This arrived from Germany a couple weeks ago and I finally got around to putting the pics on Imgur: 2015 Dunhill Ring Grain 4110 (group 4) Liverpool.    |

That is an awesome pipe I have looked at the Dunhill 4110 ring grain many times. It's just out of my price range. I am glad that you have the one I have wanted one for quite some time enjoy it for me.

I needed cleaners and replacement MM stems. I thought it couldn't hurt to grab an extra pound of staples, Sutliff Virginia Slices (cheap as dirt) and Three Friars (that price hiked since I was stocking up!). And of course, since I hadn't bought tobacco in a year, I thought a tin of C&D Exhausted Rooster couldn't hurt. And since I was ordering anyway, I will try Savinelli Brunello Flake and Guiblione d'Oro and C&D Mad Fiddler. I'm weak. Also some of that Sutliff Red Virginia that I've seen compared to McC Red Cake, however improbable that might be. I can't know without trying it.
But hey, free shipping on pipe cleaners and replacement stems!

I've been good for a long time, so I don't feel too guilty.
And I meant Doblone d'Oro. Brain spasm. Gubileo x Dublone mashup.

And now it has arrived at my local distribution center! I'm tempering my enthusiasm, however. It's been there before. A month ago. Before it went on its merry jaunt to our nation's capitol. At least you’ve got movement Urb. I ordered another shipment of tobacco from a different dealer five days ago. During that time it went from Jamaica NY to Queens NY, a whole whopping 15 miles or 3 miles/day. Even the Pony Express was faster! Got an update on my latest tobacco purchase. According the the parcel tracker it left Queens NY on Wednesday. After that... nothing. The fajcetious side of me wonders how the mail carrier is enjoying my Plumpudding and Vanilla Custard. |

Sounds like my package from Country Squire, Ted. It left the local distribution center and disappeared for a week before turning up in D.C., then sat there for nearly a month. I was sure it was lost (or pilfered). The shipper finally got their local postmaster to contact the one in D.C., and that got it moving again. Arrived here a few days later. It's aggravating, but yours is out there somewhere. |

Well, my package from SP was due to be delivered today, but to my work, and although I got there early to camp out and wait for the mailman (were closed) he passed by a few minutes before I arrived and the post office isn't open for me to pick it up. With the weather forecast around here, odds are good that I won't see that box for a few days.
So, to make up for it, I picked up a small pile of cigars on the way back home, so I don't get too bored if we get snowed in.

I blame it on COVID but remain optimistic it’ll show up eventually. Hoping it’ll be sooner then later. Cheers pal! |

I hate to say it, but they have had a year to figure out how to work around COVID. It really isn't excuse for crappy shipping service anymore. |

In the case of USPS, COVID is just one of the problems they've been having to work around. That's as much as I'll say about that. |

Just arrived: some Wilke blends that were delayed by their shortage of Latakia and Perique. Number 111, 524, and Golden Sceptre. They sent 4 oz. of the 111 and GS, instead of the 2 oz I ordered.
I guess that's a gesture to compensate for the delayed delivery? Not sure. If so, it wasn't necessary, but it's appreciated.

I especially like the Oriental, Latakia and Virginia blend combination. You’ll have to let the rest of us know. |

That's a great piece, John. The grain really makes a difference.
As for myself, I broke my almost year-long "pipe fast" with a vintage Bewlay, should be coming in any day now. My budget cries, but I smile.

From Sante’s Stash. Actually received 2 CB’s. So with all the shipping issues going on. Go figure, I got the box from Dan, before I even bought it! JK But I think from the time he put it in the mail to the time I received it. 3 days maybe?  |
