    Blade Runner 2049 (No Spoilers!)

    I saw it on opening day and loved it. A bit long yes, but I would have gladly sat there for another hour; I just love the world those movies have crafted. I also love that for how deep and involved the world they've created is, the movies rely very little on exposition (Harrison Ford's...

    Impulse Estate Purchase - Stanwell

    I agree MSO, not that I have anything against Italian made pipes, but I cherish my Canadian, GB and American made pipes and am excited to have a pipe from Denmark in the collection. And thank you everyone for the kind words and shared excitement. The inaugural smoke was terrible. I dug the...

    Impulse Estate Purchase - Stanwell

    Long time since my last post, but I needed to share this with someone. My significant other, for reasons I can't quite understand, never shares in my enthusiasm for these things. I've been keeping my eye open for a made in Denmark Stanwell for some time now, and happened to come across an estate...

    New Life for Tin Art - Jar Labels

    Sooooo it turns out I deleted the files off dropbox to make space without realizing that those were the only files I had. Woops.... Did anyone happen to download them? Not a huge loss but I was hoping to send them to mrgunnar.

    In case the dry humour didn't land.

    Tactical pipe bag?

    I don't know what all of you are talking about, I clicked on the link and didn't see anything...

    My first experiences + asking recommendations for tobacco

    Welcome! My entry into the hobby was not so different from yours, with the exception of the particulars. I thought pipe smoking neat, became curious, and started googling. I started with an unfinished Hungarian-shaped Savinelli and a tobacco blend offered to me by a friend who described it as...

    My new Cutty

    I can't speak for all Saskatchewanians, but for me it's more of a waking slumber fueled by coffee when the sun is up and whisky when it's down.

    Dunhill Pipe Tobacco - A message from STG Lane

    Good question. I have nothing to base this on, but maybe the decision is coming from a higher level that doesn't typically concern themselves with what the tobacco-branch is doing. I know some people tend to say that Dunhill blends are overrated, but as a new pipe-smoker they were indispensable...

    New Life for Tin Art - Jar Labels

    No problem gents, better than them just sitting on my computer! If you get a chance, I'd try to find a better image of the Escudo art. Most of the labels turned out pretty well but for some reason this one is a little soft. The Meat Pie label could suffer to be sharper as well.

    Sure! I'll upload them to the link above this evening.

    New Life for Tin Art - Jar Labels

    I would suggest the first method for that - I've seen several hobbyists use modge podge to make coasters out of old maps and such. Just need a stiffer backing and you'd be good to go!

    New Life for Tin Art - Jar Labels

    I decided to revive this old thread instead of starting a new one because I learned that using modge podge wasn't a great idea. Some of the lids had become seized shut and needed to be pried off the modge podge'd labels. Additionally, I have been suffering from a bit of TAD and my collection has...

    Finally A Tin Of Penzance

    I was lucky enough to grab one tin online. I was really hoping the rumours were true, and that it would be overrated and not to my liking. I was very disappointed to find that I liked it quite a bit. I've been rationing those 2oz's but they are all but gone now.
