    What is a hipster?

    Well said, cosmic! Also, this kind of topic belongs in "General Discussion", not in "General Pipe Smoking Discussion" forum.

    What is a hipster?

    I was going to say something, but jollyroger already said what I think about subject but much better. I live in an area some might say is hipsterish. From what I've seen they are generally very nice people. They ask me about my tweeds. I do know that in fifty years there are going to be a lot of...

    Il Ceppo Pipe Question

    Great pipes! Especially bents. Pretty intricate blasts. Their stems could be thinner. Still, one of the better value Italian pipes. Here's one I stupidly sold:

    Hoarding and Panic Buying

    Very interesting thread and very interesting thoughts all around! I'm personally on a rather meager fixed income and thus unable to hoard tobacco, but I'm pretty much OK with it. At least I'm getting better in giving up on things like tobacco. I would prefer to smoke my regulars FVF and St.James...

    Does Anything Really Smoke Better Than A Cob?

    Interesting thread. I personally don't care for cobs at all. I like well made things and I guess the ersatz nature of cobs doesn't grab me. That is one of the reasons I honestly can't claim that I could judge only the "smokability" of a given pipe. However, I wouldn't have any problems...
