    Pipe Shop Reccomendations in Glasgow, Edinburgh and London.

    JJ Fox's bulk blends are mainly from Gawith and Germaine's. They're having the same trouble keeping them in stock that the rest of us are, despite surely being a very old of not original account.

    Pipe Shop Reccomendations in Glasgow, Edinburgh and London.

    JJ Fox is a historic location and a lovely lounge - really one of only a handful of indoor places one can smoke in London. I go whenever I'm in the city, but they don't have a huge selection of pipes, and their bulk tobacco is expensive and often out of stock. Go for to enjoy being in that...

    Vintage Lighters

    Happy Pi Day Everyone

    It's funny you mention America - our wedding date trick only worked in a handful of countries on earth that use the month/day/year convention. Thankfully, Belize was one of them!

    First Smoke on the New Porch!

    No worries, man! I know the option of "get your spouse to become a pipe smoker also" is not available to everyone, so I'm happy to hear about other strategies, too.

    Brick and Mortar Shops With Online Stores

    Some have full e-commerce sites, some have an online inventory and invite you to email, some may be phone orders only. I would start with the retailer directory here and sort from there. My preferred local B&M has an e-commerce side for which they have to maintain separate inventory and...
