There's some good guys here, Joe. Read up on the trade rules, check the other posts to get the lay of the land, maybe post up on the New Piper Bum Introduction thread (I didn't because I'm socially awkward) and you'll be paired up before you know it! Have fun and welcome!

Pugsley Pugilistics
Apparently being a noob can get you hurt around here. Pugsley fired back with a truly staggering return trade.
When I received notification the package had arrived I decided to leave Gar Manor and venture into town, something I'm loathe to do on a Saturday. I snatched the box, jumped in the hot rod, locked the doors, pulled the shades and opened her up.
I'm man enough to admit it. I squealed a little.
The contents:

The tobacco:

Since everything is clearly labeled I won't post a wall of text. There are at least ten in here I've read about and wanted to try. The portions? Insanely generous. These are handfuls of tobacco, not "samples."
More tobacco and accesories:

Here's where it goes off the rails. Included is a sweet MM Mizzou and a monster Great Dane Spindle Turn. And what's this? The very pipe and tobacco pouch I was fixing to order this morning. Hey, there's stuff inside it! Pipe bits (which I absolutely use being a clencher), humidity buttons, Czech tool and folding pipe stand. And the pipe pocket? Well, it's got a Dr. G Lark in it! And it has beautiful whorls, swirls and burls in it. Did I mention the Pipesmoking book and two kinds of cleaners?
Warren sent a real nice hand written note with lots of helpful advice and warm sentiments. He said in a PM it doesn't make sense to send part of what a fellow needs. Well, he sent everything I needed and then some! Much respect for the pipe vets on here. Thank you so much; if you'll excuse me I have some smoking to do!

It's great stuff. There's 09 Esoterica Stonehaven in there! I tried the Russ Ouelette's Fire Storm today and was blown away. Transitions like a good cigar, starts sweet and creamy and then gets spicy midway. Outstanding.

The trade between myself and Alligator Gar is now complete. Put me in Coach. I'll do one more trade, then I'm going to take a bit of a sabbatical.

Pugsley would you want to do a trade? Not sure how the process works here.
