    Former Miami Dolphins Coach Schnellenberger on Radio Show of Dec 1, 2015

    Wow, what a great out the box guest! Not a another pipe maker or tobacconist but a Super Bowl winning and NCAA National Championship winning football coach. Kudos to a great interview with Coach Schnellenberger. Your epilogue was right on the money. He was the old school smoke a pound a week...

    Walgreens

    The Walgreens I see down here in Louisiana really don't have much of a selection. They seem to have paired down the once great pipe section down to an MM corn cob, one model of Grabow, regular Capt. Black in the pouch, and three or four different Blender's Gold pipe tobaccos in cute little tins...

    Mason Jar Question

    For a ribbon cut, the Mason Jar/Tobbaco ratio is 4:1. So you would need an 8oz (half pint) jar for 2 ounces of tobacco (50g = 1.75 oz). With a 4:1 ratio you'll need to compress the tobacco down a little bit to fit it in the jar. Likewise 1 pound of tobacco fits nicely in a half gallon (64 oz)...

    Can you tell the difference?

    A big difference between the cheap pipes and pipes in the $100 range is the stem. There is a huge difference between something like a Grabow or Medico and a $90 Savinelli/Peterson/Brebbia and the most significant difference is in the stem. A lot of times the cheap pipes smoke decently and are...

    Cast away with one choice.Only one!!

    Captain Black original. It has a great lean-to note and your lady friend will love it and in turn love you jungle style. Plus Captain Black is a fantastic everyday smoke. What more could you ask? Anyone bringing along a latakia blend for the ride is definitely going to have his lady going...

    New Orleans Pipe Show: Pictures

    Newbroom, I couldn't get out of work on Friday to make the tour, but like you I was curious about the Daughters and Ryan blends. They were tucked away in the back corner of the pipe show but I found them and sampled a few blends and picked up a few blends and some of their perique cigars. It was...

    Peterson 69 ?

    I love, love, love this pipe. It was my first "real" pipe after a Dr. Grabow and I still smoke it to this day 25 years later. The shape and bend are classic and it smoke like a champ. It doesn't have a well like my Peterson system pipes but it is good for about three bowls before it is ready to...

    Corps Quit Just in Time

    That's why they moved it to New Orleans.

    Filters are a bunch of horse radish & it kind of pisses me off

    Hear, Hear!!! These big 9mm filter do suck, even the Savinelli balsa filter. They just suck the life out of the tobacco. I really don't get it. I purchased a couple of these 9mm filter pipes when I was in Europe and always get angry when I try using the filters. I really don't get the fancy...

    Your Aromatic Bombs!

    Finally a thread I can relate to. Two of the strongest aromatics are Molto Dolce and Very Cherry. Molto Dolce especially about halfway through the bowl seems to turn into a warm caramel milkshake with vanilla ice cream. It just gets so thick and so creamy and so sweet it is almost too much at...

    Do You Like smokingpipes.com New Website's Design?

    Okay I just checked out the site again and yep it still blows ass. My constructive criticism for Mssrs. Wilford and Secretretailer, the product cards take up way too much space. I am on a laptop and find each page painfully tedious to scroll through. There is just way too much wasted space. You...

    OTC ... ??? Over the Counter ... ? And ?

    It's a retarded phrase. It means Over The Counter and refers to the tobaccos that you get at the drug store/grocery store like Prince Albert, Half and Half, Carter Hall, Middleton's Cherry, Borkum Riff, Captain Black etc. The mass market tobaccos. Two things make it retarded in my book. One, all...

    Who's going to the New Orleans Show?

    I am going to be there and will be the guy with a chip on his shoulder, smoking an aromatic to spite the latakia lovers. Just look for the guy puffing out luxurious clouds of cherry infused caramel smelling smoke and pulling a Radio Flyer wagon filled with Molto Dolce and Cherrybomb. I'll be...

    Newbie flailing on whether to smoke or not!

    Fella55, you've made the right choice. You probably shouldn't smoke. You can use that money that would've gone to tobacco and purchase more pipes for your collection. If you are that obsessed with checmicals in tobacco, you are better off not puffing. You don't seem to have the right attitude...

    Tobacco house with most and best quality Aromatics

    You might want to check out G.L. Pease's The Vanilla Cream. It is due out in a few weeks and sounds like it might be good. He doesn't seem to have much aromatic experience but his description sounds tasty. It'll be fun to compare it to the other Vanilla Creams out there from Mac Baren, Stokkebye...
