    James Bond and Bernard Lee pipe - anyone

    I was thinking same thing, Dunhill and looked for a ton of pics for that white dot. But this could also be Italian as Italian pipes were very much 'in' for Londoners in the 1960's. Just hard to find any profile pics other than the ones above....and these, which is more of a smooth/rosewood...

    James Bond and Bernard Lee pipe - anyone

    Been on a JB kick lately...and got intrigued with Bernard's choice of pipe. I simply cannot find any info online about it. He changes it up and many of the movies he is in, but the black sandblast Dublin or Billiard classic style that he uses is just gorgeous. Anyone have any idea or research...

    McClelland - No. 24 (Matured Virginias) too dry?

    Looking for previous experience with anyone who has opened a tin and smoked McClelland - No. 24 (Matured Virginias). I just got an order from big vendor and when I opened it, it feels really dry. Was not expecting moist, but feels too dry. Is this normal for the McC Matured Virginas line?

    Any good baccy recommendations topped with 'peated-scotch'?

    Many thanks for the great feedback...and thank you for a couple of you who PM'd me on the side. Also, I have had Celtic Blend on my radar for sometime now....may be time to pull trigger.

    Goin' to the beach - Need a good Navy Flake Rec (rum oh hum rum)

    I think I went overboard on the Navy Flake last week - lots coming in the mail. The beach should be fun this December. Thanks for all the great recs!

    Goin' to the beach - Need a good Navy Flake Rec (rum oh hum rum)

    I am heading to the beach this holiday with my family where the winds will be a little brisk and the temps will be on the lower end and would like a nice Navy blend with some nice rum notes. I have yet to smoke a navy flake (egads!) so really looking forward to a nice introductory experience...

    Favorite Bourbon Whiskey?

    Been drinking whisky/bourbon a long time....long time. But by far, some of my favs are Blantons (NOT happy with the shortages that are happening now), Michters (all of them), Elijah Craig Small Batch (best bang for the $$), Woodford (dont forget the Rye), Kentucky Owl (only if you sell your...

    How's the new Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky?

    Absolutely one of my fav DSK blends out there...I remember how nice the tin note was and when smoked, it just came alive.

    Purchasing tobaccon from UK/Germany to US

    I am fairly new to PM (but have been pipe smoker for over 10 years), but have ordered tobacco and pipes from all over North America...but does anyone have a good rec from a reputable UK or Germany tobacco retailer that can ship to US - with decent shipping? One quote I got was over $40 for...

    Comedian Bill Burr

    This is SO ironic....I was just in a Bill Burr YouTube Marathon yesterday....you guys should look up his bit on the crazy airline passenger he sat next to on a redeye a few years ago. Really funny.

    Any good baccy recommendations topped with 'peated-scotch'?

    Looking for something unique and special...something that was topped with a scotch flavor from Isaly (think Laphroig, Ardbeg, etc)...I see lots of scotch type aromatics out there, but nothing that has a nice peat warmth to it. But I also understand that any good latika is very similar to this...

    G.L. Pease Sixpence, A Review

    Never a tobacco than six pence have I heard so may highs and lows for reviews when researching this one. Your review I think is spot on - but I have yet to buy any because of the majority reviews are so vast in extremes. Is there any kind of topping on this one? I have read before that many...

    Christmas Cheer 2015

    I have some 2013 and 2014 and they age REALLY nicely. I wonder if the 2015 is any different in tin note?
