To all: I am planning to host a pipe makers' meet up at my home in Edmond, OK (a suburb of Oklahoma City), in October of this year. Details and exact date, TBD. I just wanted to get this out for save-the-general-date reasons. Maybe just block off all of October. Initial thoughts: Arrive Friday eveni...

So what are the problems?

I may also have ordered a few pounds of haddo's from another source. That comes Tuesday.

My plan for years has been to order 5 lbs of 5100 the moment I thought the end was near for tobacco.
