nice. there are a ton of Octavias on ebay right now. nice lookin pipes.

what shops are there around Fayetteville? i've been there TDY numerous times, never found a decent shop. there was like a wine bar that had crappy cigars in a bad display humi, in some type of "upscale" setting, just around the corner from a HD dealership, but that was about 5-6 yrs ago...

The Tobacco Shop on Township is top notch for both pipes, tobaccos and cigars. Very helpful staff to boot. CaddoMoney (Andrew) frequents it

The Tobacco Shop is where I go 98% of the time. There's also a cigar shop on Weddington. I think its called Weddington Cigar Shop, anyway, its got a decent selection and a few places to sit and watch the tv if you're into smoking "lounges."

Oh, and I forgot. The Tobacco Shop has a little place to sit too, with a couple chairs and a table, which is fairly new.

I was in Fayetteville about a month ago and my buddy took me by the place on weddington. They have no pipe stuff, but the cigar selection is nice, and they're next door to a pretty good liquor store. I think that's the same place you're talking about.

haha... thanks guys, but i was talking to "Ranger B" about Fayetteville, North Carolina, where Ft. Bragg is (the guys post that i quoted). :-)

Andrew, you should know that i know where "the tobacco shop" is down there in Arkansas, we sat next to each other at the hillbilly herf outside that room in the comfy reclining chairs... the username most ppl know me as is "IHT", if that reminds you a little bit.
so, i know that place pretty well. actually just called justin last week, a guy on CS was asking where i got the Farnams Reserve that i sent him from and if he could get any more.

Oh, okay. Then yeah, I definitely remember you. I didnt realize you were the same person. Oh, you know if they have any by chance, I'm down to two tins.

only if you kiss Justins ass. he said when they got really low, he and the owner bought the rest... but he told me that it's just a McClellands bulk blend that was pre-aged 10 years. and since they're not getting any more, and aren't selling any more, i don't htink it matters if anyone knows what it is now...
McClellands bulk #2020 with 10 yrs of age (and in tins)...

Andrew in fayetteville I can not recommend any. There is a shop in the mall but not my cup of tea. I live outside of fayetteville on the north side of Bragg in southern pines. There is a small shop there with a nice selection of cigar and pipe stuff. Helps that the owner is retired air force.
[Reply]

Yeah, I've been trying to find the bulk version for a while and couldn't remember what it was called. Cool, I'll probably buy some now and do my own aging. Thanks.

Here are a few pics of some pipes I picked up while visiting Bay City for a funeral for a pipe-smoking patriarch and beloved uncle. He was married to a british woman, and his pipes were from London or London-made from Paul's Cayuga in Flint. My cousin and I smoked a cigar and had some scotch after the funeral and we split up his dad's pipes. I think of 8, I got 3. They are a Barling, a "Finecraft" Made in England and a "Italy 705" lol, the latter two being Paul's Cayuga stamped. (+'oil-cured')

They need to be cleaned and polished and photographed with better light. But I am not sure about "patina"?
