    Snoopy: I don't have any photos, but my uncle has a lovely black sandblast zulu... EDIT: It's the one I refer to in the opening post.

    London pipe shops

    Definitely check out James J. Fox - that place is heaven! Davidoff (just up the road) is pretty good too, but definitely cigar-oriented. Also, Segar & Snuff is worth a visit... Those are the only ones I can think of, and I live in London, so I should know! :wink: You might want to explore Jermyn...

    Syrian Latakia

    Ashton's Artisan Blend states that it uses Syrian Latakia on the tin... Is this true??? It was mentioned earlier that only McClelland and MacBaren do...

    Pipe Smoking in High Rise

    Definitely recommend it! It's very surreal, and the cinematography's incredible. I'd call it almost dystopian...

    Pipe Smoking in High Rise

    Has anyone else noticed that in High Rise (feat. Tom Hiddleston), one of the aristocratic antagonists smokes a Peterson Classic Slimline billiard?

    New Savinelli St Nicholas (and New Blatter) - PICS

    So, I was finally united with a long awaited package containing my new Savinelli St Nicholas 2014 703 KS. A pipe I've admired since it's release, and which I finally found and pulled the trigger on! The Pipe alongside the Sav is a recent gift from my father - a Blatter bent billiard, partially...

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (November 2016)

    Dunhill EMP as the inaugural smoke of my new Savinelli St Nicholas 2014 lovat... Not sure what I'll dedicate it to in the long run though!

    Pipes And Prayer

    Seriously, as an Eastern Christian, incense is a HUGE part of how we celebrate the liturgy, and by extension, pray. My father, a priest, and his priest friends call smoking 'offering incense'... I would say, it's 100% OK!

    Blatter & Blatter Pipes

    UPDATE: My father was on a trip to Montréal this past week, and when he got back and I went up to visit my family yesterday, this beauty was waiting for me! I don't want to speak too soon, especially since I have a new one waiting for me at home, but I dare say this smokes better than my Savs!

    A much anticipated Mail Call

    You've just reminded me how much I'm anticipating a new pipe arriving tomorrow after almost a week stuck in customs (ordered from across the pond)... But, on a more related note, that's one nice pipe!

    Beginner's Guide to Beginning

    I agree with the OP, a lot of 'guides for beginners' are confusing at best, mostly because pipe smoking is such a subjective experience. I love what you've written hmhaines, but it might need a little editing for those on the other side of the pond. Good work!

    The Tobacco Press That You Already Own

    This whole thread is amazing! The press (great idea), the blends, the glass explosions... Love it! :lol:
