    Standard Tobacco Company of Pennsylvania War Horse

    Just to clarify - is this being produced under licence from Gallaher? Or is this just use of the name without permission?

    New Condor Lover

    What I cannot understand is why so many people in the UK would run a mile from the stuff but yet Americans seem brainwashed by it.

    A good first non-aro

    A blend I have become fond of is McClellands Black Shag. It is sweet without being an aromatic and does not pack much punch in the nic dept

    Carey's pipe tobacco

    I smoke Careys UK occasionally. Yet to smoke a bad blend whether aro or traditional. If it is an aro your after Soft Black Aromatic is very good. It strikes me as an old school blend, not in anyway a goopy American aro nor a chemically acrid European. It is smooth cool and presents no bite...

    Peterson Break In

    Do you find Petes much more difficult to break in than other pipes. Currently trying a New Peterson Atlantic, like all Peterson pipes I own, the first month is a truly horrible experience. The pipes give off a bitter metallic taste. Thereafter, they smoke like a dream. Never experience this...

    Peterson Saint Patrick's Day Blend Match

    I have a tin of Belle Époque unopened I would happily swap for anyone who wants it. Send me a PM.

    Lung cancer - "Oh, you smoked. You did this to yourself, you deserve it, ..."

    I really think this thread shows a complete lack of judgement in the first instance. It could be construed as insensitive.

    Generosity and help from fellow Piper, Condorlover1

    Very kind and noteworthy indeed. Although as mentioned, will a Meer be a durable solution if you are prone to breaking pipes?

    Quality Small pipe?

    EA Carey 10 minute is a fantastic pipe, best smoker in my collection, and best of all it is the cheapest pipe I own.
