Ditto.
My $350 check is in the mail; do I provide the rolled up magazine, or do you bring that as part of the deal?

I like it. It has a certain je ne sais quoi.

Yeah, that's a mighty fine looking pipe Wayne.

I've got a million little bags of things and not enough mason jars. I've been getting lots of samples and trades from people, and some of the stuff just isn't me. Mostly because I'm not into burley. Lots of different things. Ideally I'd like to get just a few ounces of something, a VA or Va/Per, or ...
