Since Pipesandcigars.com has their free shipping over $15, I pulled the trigger on a MM Country gentleman, czech tool, tobacco moistener, and some filters (just to make it over $15.)

Debating on which tobacco to get. I'll probably go the Captain Black, H&H, or Carter Hall route.

Any suggestions for Walgreen's-type tobaccos?

I'd go the Carter Hall route, slightly better quality from my experiences

Thanks.

I got some stuff too, the free shipping really made it an easy decision.

I got a wood grain pipe tool, some cleaners, and some soft pipe bits for $16 shipped free! :-)

I looked at those pipe bits. Let me know how they are. Contemplated getting some.

My last experience with a briar (almost 20 years ago) wasn't too good. But I didn't read up and figure things out. So it aggravated my TMJ from clenching so hard. I think those would have helped back in the day.

So I used the soft bit yesterday, and I have to say I really really liked it. I'm getting some for my other pipes. It just felt alot better between the teeth.

They're cheap enough, it wouldnt hurt to try it.

I might.

Just polished off a bowl of Captain Black. The clenching wasn't too bad. I'll still think about getting some.
