what is your latest pipe purchase

[Emperor Zurg]

If it were online I would agree that it was pricey.
But tins of Dunhill and Samuel Gawith are $17.99 here. Even Orlik tins are $16. Bulk tobacco (Lane, PS etc.) are $9.50 for 2 oz.
It's not the B&Ms trying to screw us though, we have a 68% tobacco tax here in Arkansas (excludes cigars, they have a flat .50 tax per stick). Big brother has to save us from ourselves by discouraging tobacco use.

So with that considered, I went ahead. It is the first tin I've ever purchased over an actual counter.

I guess in that light it wasn't a bad price at all.
We all need to be protected from ourselves by Big Bro. Punitive taxes and no lube are just what the Dr ordered.
I still think you ought to try Gaslight

I still think you ought to try Gaslight

Gaslight is definitely on my short list to try. It will find its way into an order soon.

There are several GL Pease blends I'd like to try. The only one I've had is Abingdon, which I did enjoy.
