    Starter Pipe For A Woman?

    Back in the '60s, several companies marketed lines of petite pipes aimed specifically at women and had pretty extensive ad campaigns. None of them did very well, the pipes were all flash and no quality.

    Flying Dutchman Pipe Tobacco

    The tinned version was much moister and required a bit of drying time. The tins disappeared sometime in the early '70s, I don't remember the exact time.

    De-casing a Tobacco

    Prairie Wind is a 4noggins blend, why not go straight to the blender for an answer? Rich is a great guy and loves to talk about pipes and tobacco. You can contact him through the website (he's a forum sponsor, the link is on the left side of the page on red) or you can put Prairie Wind in the...

    De-casing a Tobacco

    Casing is an integral part of the basic preparation of tobacco and, with most blenders, adds very little taste to the tobacco. It's more likely that what you find objectionable is the topping, one of the final steps in the preparation of a blend. As far as removing it, I don't know of a good...

    Brief Kansas City Pipe Show Report

    Dave's display was a Castello lover's dream, not even Iwan Ries could match it. Pat Morgan (a great lady) said that Old Log Cabin Pipe Works is nearly ready to start selling Forever Stems, shouldn't be long. I had the chance to talk for quite a while with Mark Ryan, the man who pretty much...

    Design Berlin World Pipe

    This is a somewhat stylized carving of a globe, the view shown is of Southeast Asia and Australia, on the far left is the Arabian peninsula and the east edge of Africa. I've seen a couple on ebay over the years and they always bring high bids.

    An Amazing And Generous Gift From SSJones aka Al The Evergood!

    Tom Dunn did more to promote pipe smoking and unite pipe smokers than anyone else I can think of in the ancient pre-internet days. He was a great writer and had the ability to make each reader feel as though he was a personal friend. I always drool over the hardbound copies of TPSE when they...
