Interview with Tambo Tobacco

I am working on an interview with Bob about his pipe tobacco. A lot of people have never heard of him and are just finding out about his quality tobacco. I will also review his tobacco when I get the chance to do that.

Purging the Collection.

I have decided that it's time to start clearing out the pipes I don't smoke on a regular basis. I am going to sell them to some friends on BOTL.org who wants some great starter pipes.

New Pipe Bill

A new bill has been introduced and is pending in Congress, H.R. 4439, that would amend federal law established by last year's S-CHIP expansion. The bill proposes raising the federal excise tax rate on Pipe Tobacco to be equal to the tax rate on roll-your-own Cigarette Tobacco.

The federal pipe tobacco tax is currently $2.8311 per pound, which represents a 158% increase from the pre-S-CHIP tax of $1.0969 per pound. The proposed bill would increase the tax on pipe tobacco to a whopping $24.78 per pound!


Here is a link to sign the petition so get the word out to all pipe smokers!

My Newest Pipe.

Here is one of my Favorite Pipes I got as a gift for a friend.
This is a Cat's Paw Pipe from Bill and Terri Weist




This will be a great pipe for him to start out with. The quality of the pipe is top notch and should be a cool smoker.


Here is a small sample of the pipe tobacco I have in my smoking room.
