If that's the little one can't imagine what the big one would be.
The swirl looks fantastic as a churchwarden. How does it smoke?

This is the big one
The churchwarden smokes well. I didn't have a churchwarden before this, so this was a good way to try one on the cheap, I think he only charged me $25 to make the new stem.

Nice Boli's I have a full box of '07s I've hidden from myself at the bottom of the cooler

I'm going to try to hide these from myself for as long as possible, after I try the first one of course.
Still sitting on a box of Cohiba Sublimes LE 2004. Wal & Ben at Baranows' playing custodians until ready to spark up the first one.
Just fetched up on my desk

In the neverending quest to find more non-cigarette ways to introduce nicotine into my body, I have now delved into pipes.

What the...? FVF?
If I have learned nothing else, it is that when b&b'ers speak, I listen. The way everyone has been clamoring to find this stuff, I knew I needed to grab a tin! They were unpacking it when I walked in the door

Go back and buy 5 more tins and hide them from yourself for the next 3 years. You'll thank me later.

Is it that hard to find? I saw someone describe it as "mythical"... should I be stockpiling this stuff?

Virginia's improve dramaticly with age. Some FVF or HOTW with a couple years on it makes my eyes roll back into my head.

Hmmm, aged cigars=good, aged pipe tobacco=good, that's a concept I can grasp easily enough. Are the tinned tobaccos ok to age "on the shelf" in the unopened tin? I am assuming yes, since they are vacuum sealed. The bulk stuff should be good in a mason jar or something similar, correct?
And, in keeping with the spirit of this thread, two more tins of FVF are on their way to me, as well as a tin of C&D Autumn Evening.

Nice, be sure to try a MM with the black stem sometime. They're one of the most comfortable bits in pipedom. If you turn out to be a clencher like me, you'll love it.
Say whaaaat?! I had a MM that I HATED. The bit was too small and hard, and I couldn't put my usual rubber bite piece on it because it kept falling off. What is this black bit you speak of?
I need to try a good cob, because I just can't keep the cheaper small ones lit. See if your local places have Half and Half tobacco. It's a 'drug store' blend I really like.
