Grouse Hunt, Pipe/Coffee Break
No grouse were harmed in the making of this picture, post or prior, nice walk though! Stopped for a pipe and coffee up on a ridgeline. The Stanwell 95 loaded with C&D Palmetto Balkan, one of many gifted by our incredibly generous @Servant King, thanks again brother! Awfully quiet in the North...- pipedreamin

Carl Jung and The Importance of Pipe Smoking
Been reading Kingsley's Catafalque: Carl Jung and the End of Humanity, great insightful read if you're interested in Jung and have an idea of his thought. It may sound bleak but it isn't. Came across this and thought it apropos for the clan here: And the footnotes: Habakkuk/Tobacco-- not too...- pipedreamin

Karel Krška Pipe
I first saw a Karel Krška pipe on that auction site and was out-sniped in a heated battle for one of his beauties. I even contacted the seller to pass my info onto the victor should he/she decide the stewardship of such a gem wasn't all that was hoped for. Still waiting... In the meantime I...- pipedreamin

9mm Vauen Filter in an Il Ceppo
It doesn't fit, they are too long. They work fine in another Il Ceppo I have. Is there a shorter version? Do I add a bit of depth to the bore?- pipedreamin

Rattrays Black Mallory Compared to Bengal Slices/Fusiliers Ration
It appears the Black Mallory is safe from the chopping block. I've heard it compared to BS and FR but apparently there is no top-note that the BS/FR share. Anyone smoke both or all three and have a comparative opinion to offer?- pipedreamin

Freezing Top-Noted English Blends
Has anyone tried it with any success? Looking to squirrel away a stash of Fusiliers Ration and Bengal Slices. Being what they are, I'm assuming they won't be improved by age. Will freezing sealed, and possibly vacuum bagged tins preserve their enchanting characteristics? A second question: How...- pipedreamin

Danny Adams Sitter? Stander?
It might not be for everyone but methinks I stole it. Just finished the inaugural bowl of Fusiliers Ration, draw is wonderful, almost churchwardeny to smoke as it's just shy of 8.5" Love the angle of the bowl. I'm not familiar with Adams but the craftsmanship is impressive. It takes something to...- pipedreamin

Maugham and Haddo's Delight
I'd been re-visiting Maugham's novel and thought it would be a good time to try Haddo's Delight. I haven't had that much of a nicotine buzz since swallowing too much Kodiak chew as a teen. Is it known as a high nicotine tobacco? I've had other VA/Pers, Elizabethan etc but none with a kick like...- pipedreamin

This Beast Swallowed Nearly a Shot of 200 Proof!
I put about an ounce of ethanol into the flask to clean out this Kilimanjaro beast and it absorbed it all, nothing to empty out. Let it evaporate for a night, loaded it with Balkan Blend and it still smoked sour. Will have to give it a fifth next go around and see how it handles that kind of...- pipedreamin

Tobacco Village, Brick & Mortar
While traveling in the wasteland that is Wilmington, DE (my condolences residents, I did live there for a while) I stopped into Tobacco Village a shop that has been around since the beginning of time it seems.

This Is The End
....Maybe...for a little while at least. It had been 20 years since I purchased a briar pipe, in the last 2 months I've made up for it a bit. A ten pipe binge and this one IS the last. I'm putting my foot down, no more will I fall prey to the siren song of the briar...well...till next time...- pipedreamin

HS Studio Purchase---Oops?
Just bought an HS Studio Pipe from that benandci character then did some research because...well...they look similar in design to other pipes I've seen for much more money and was somewhat skeptical of their origin. As many here already know the "guy/outfit," whatever is a wee bit of a shyster...- pipedreamin

Peterson De Luxe 9S Joins the Clan
I hadn't purchased a new briar pipe in 15+ years. In the last few weeks I've binged a bit. Here is the latest arrival, first undergoing the ritual purification via 200 proof dehydrated ethanol then sleeping it off in recovery. Quite a presence, really like the heft of this one.- pipedreamin

Really?? How Could It Be??
That no one else bid on this Stefano Santambrogio beauty. I don't think it even had watchers. I set the alarm for 2am for a snipe, knowing there must be similar pipe stalkers lurking, but no, it was just me, all alone... It arrived yesterday, wow, what a piece of work, I love it and picked it...- pipedreamin

What Do I Have here?
Hello all, Apologies for signing up and asking question but it seems there is quite a knowledge bank here. I purchased a vest pocket pipe that arrived today. It has an interesting dry smoke arrangement that I've not seen before. I'm wondering if any can shed some light as to manufacturer or...- pipedreamin
