Stockpiling Tobacco

The latest round of absurd taxes on tobacco ~~did not include pipe tobacco~~. Pipe tobacco can still be had fairly cheaply.

Update: Commenter “John Galt” points out the error.

That’s $25/lb.

What I’m Smoking

Posted by ArmedGeek on Saturday, November 21, 2009 in Pipe Smoking

Today, I’m smoking Peter Stokkebye’s Optimum Pipe Tobacco. This is actually some pretty good stuff. It is an extremely light aromatic hinting at rum and vanilla (I could be wrong). While it is almost too light, it is a very pleasant smoke.

I feel bad for bumping Tricia Helfer for tobacco.

New Pipe

Posted by ArmedGeek on Tuesday, November 17, 2009 in Personal, Pipe Smoking

Recently I purchased a new pipe. This is a “premium” pipe from a respected pipe maker.

This is a $75 pipe. Now, the problem is … it’s kinda tough to pack tobacco and light afire a $75 pipe. I’ve not actually smoked this yet. I have not decided what sort of tobacco I want to introduce to this work of fucking art.
