Tobacco Jars - PocketJar Smokingpipes.com Red
Sweet!
Reminds me of the 'goat-roper' buddies I knew in high school who always carried a tin of their favorite chew in their back pocket. I love it, not least because it comes in SPC red and black. I'm a sucker for branded gear, but yeah, gotta have it.

Gifts - Coffee Mug
The Archetypal Mug
When Smokingpipes put this coffee mug up for sale sometime last spring, I asked them if they could tell me how much coffee it holds, as the description of “rather capacious” seemed rather . . . vague. They said they’d get right on it. Crickets. Well, the months have come. Crickets. And gone. Crickets. I could see it was going to take a real coffee drinker to step up and do the job. This is your Archetypal Hefty Businessman’s Ceramic Coffee Mug, 250ml, or 8.453505639725 ounces, two-tone (the inside is fully marooned), Melitta Group 4 or Techni Vorm XL, designed to withstand endless abuse and non-washing (why wash when you can rinse or add more coffee?) without damaging anything but the desk and possibly your floor. No Approval sticker from the European Coffee Brewing Association, so bets off for competition swilling. It's a heavy beast, designed to minimize spilling if you're prone to the caffeine shakes after six or eight mugs. It would appear to be dishwasher and microwave safe, but I’ll have to update my review later on to let you know about fading. For now: Measurements & Other Details Weight: 14.65 oz./ 415 g. Bowl Height: 3.75 in./ 95.25 mm. Chamber Depth: 3.5 in./ 88.9 mm. Chamber Diameter: 3.0315 in./ 77 mm. Outside Diameter: 3.11024 in./ 79 mm. Material: Ceramic Filter: None Shape: American Business Finish: Smooth Country: Unknown Passes the Pipe Cleaner Test: Presumably --Charles Mundungus
