    Any Thoughts On C&D Redburn?

    I bought a tin of it at a B&M once before I left a pipe meet up. I enjoyed it. It wasn’t an island blend, but it was flavorful and delicious. The flavoring was noticeable most of the smoke, but the Burleys held their own and came through nicely in the profile. I would suggest getting two 2oz...

    Chicago 2024: Who's going?

    Ah just caught tail end of the livestream. Congrats to Dirk on the win. All of the pipes looked incredible. Big ups to Huber and Prevost as well. Such a fun event. Glad Jeff got this going. Hope he keeps it alive for years to come.

    Dr. Alan Harrelson Visits Chesterton’s in Steubenville, Ohio

    I had no idea who Harrelson was until I listened to the GetPiped pod about him. Doesn’t seem like someone who knows enough about blending to give a seminar on it to me. I like keeping politics out of pipe talk. As soon as someone gets going on it I tune out. We’re all here for pipes, there’s...

    Shamrocks & Shenanigans 2024

    St Patrick’s Day has become more of a somber day for me. Now for me it’s a day to remember those lost on Bloody Sunday and throughout The Troubles, to remember what the Irish endured during the famine, and the struggles the Irish had to gain independence. It’s very inspiring to know what the...

    TAD Acquisitions 2024

    After reading Pete Stokkebye’s book I decided to try out the 4th Generation tins that don’t include Latakia (not a fan of Latakia). Also picked up some C&D blends.

    Why do You Smoke a Pipe?

    For me it’s all about relaxation. Having a pipe is a calming, stress relieving, and a meditative time.

    How Long does a Smoke Last?

    A smoke lasts until you’ve smoked all the leaf lol. Like most who’ve posted already, my pipes are about .75” round and 1.5” deep chambers and I usually get about 90mins out of it.

    Tyler Edwards from Levoy's Leathers on Radio Show of February 13, 2024

    Great interview! Got to meet Tyler briefly at the Las Vegas International Pipe Show last October. He’s a great guy and is very talented in leather work. As part of my way to stay engaged in the hobby since my health situation has put limits on it, I ordered a tobacco tray from him and it’s...

    Cats & Pipes

    My cat Calhoun, she’s a fluff bug. Always runs up with me when I go to bed for good night pets before I go to sleep.

    My first Eltangs

    Once I finally found an estate for a reasonable price I found out what all the rave was about. Just a great workhorse pipe.

    Who do You Send Your Pipes for Professional Cleaning?

    Sounds like I should give Tim West a call. Thanks!

    SP Doesn't Do Extra Pictures Anymore?

    I’ve noticed it for quite some time. Anything $100 and under usually has two side shots that’s it. When you hit about $300 you get overhead of the bowl and underside too. Maybe a close up of the shank or adornments. I honestly never gave it much thought myself.

    What are You Reading Now?

    Currently reading this one. Too close to the beginning to say if it’s good, really good, or bad.
