    Oldest Blends

    I was just wondering what the oldest continually produced blends are and how old they would be?

    Perique Bombs

    Cold Weather Taste

    The weather has recently changed, we've dropped from the high 60's down to the high 40's and the air is noticably damp. Autumn is finally here. My last few bowls of English tobaccos have lost most of their taste and sometimes have a sour tang to them even though the pipes are clean and have...

    Aging orientals And Latakia

    interesting article I found this a very interesting article as all three testers described the 15 year old blends as past there best, it was also suggested that most oriental and latakia blends start to go down hill after the 5 year mark. Have any other smokers found the same thing? Has anyone...

    Cigars and Tubos

    OK, I'm back off to the UK this weekend and would like to take a couple of cigars back with me, I don't have a humidor as I rarely smoke cigars and when I do they're fresh from the tabac. How long will a tubos keep the cigar in tip-top condition? or I'm I better off storing a couple of non-tubos...

    Tonquin Ghost

    I recently picked up an estate pipe described as 'little smoked', judging by the cake build up that's perfectly true. I've just started breaking the pipe in with 1/4 bowl of a burley blend and can pick up a hint of tonquin, no other landlake taste or smell. Can tonquin be smoked out or does it...

    New Peterson

    I've just received a Peterson I bought off ebay last week, a sterling silver 80s. A little bit of birds eye on both sides of the bowl This is a special pipe as it has a hallmark from 1978 which just happens to be my birth year. I know Petersons where a little bit casual with hallmarked bands...

    Airing blends

    Yesterday I read a post by Latbomber in the thread about dunhill MM 965 I agreed. I bought a tin of EMP and found it a little bland and boring, it was transfered into a mason jar and left for a month. Whilst I still find it a little bland it's improved with the sweetness and orientals coming...

    PAD - Debut briars

    My first briars arrived over the course of this week. They're all estates and whilst nothing special compared to most of the pipes on here it's the start if my herd. An unsmoked made in the republic of Ireland Peterson Kapruf 80s. The first bowl was nothing short of horrible but then I've read...

    Choosing a new pipe

    Are you inspired by pictures of pipes and reviews posted on here? Perhaps you buy certain shaped for certain styles of tobacco? Do you just buy whatever catches your eye? Maybe you collect certain brands or shapes? So, how do you choose a new pipe?

    Orientals

    The last few months has been a pleasant journey trying different blends, I suppose I've smoked around a dozen different tins. Oriental style blends are my favourite with SG Skiff being my favourite of the blends I've tried, I really enjoy the interplay between the sweet, sour and slight peppery...

    Flavouring, casing, topping and aromatics

    MM tenon diameter

    Very quick question Is the tenon diameter of all MM corn cobs the same? I've got a pair of Great Danes and a pair of Washingtons and they're coming in at 8.8 cm. With the Pony Express and Mizzou being smaller pipes do they have the 8.8 cm diameter tenon? Thanks

    Peterson Army Mount

    Anybody use any pipe from the Army Mount range? Care to offer your opinion on this range? I like the idea of being able to break the pipe down warm, I think they'd make a fantastic walking/fishing pipe. Have Peterson managed to sort out their quality control yet? I've read alot of posts on...

    New to flake

    As this is my first post I'll briefly introduce myself. I happen to live in France, not far for Giverny for those who like the impressionism movement, but I was born in the UK not too far from Lakeland country. I ended up living in France as I'm a mad keen fisherman and used to work in the...
