    When Your Wife Contributes to PAD....

    Last night my wife was found on the couch nursing our baby daughter. She must've been bored. The TV is in the other room, all of our handhelds must've been plugged in, and the only reading material within reach was my newest catalogue from P&C. She pointed out two pipes she liked that I've had...

    Sutliff Pumpkin Spice

    Wow! What a great smoke. I can't stop retrohaling this one. It's full of flavor and reportedly from those around me smells good too. Couldn't find any C&D Autumn Evening so picked this up with a few other fall flavors. This one will be hard to top. Smoked cool all the way down and as I'm nearing...

    First Great Experience With Aromatic

    I started smoking in February with a handful of CAO aromatics. I quickly discovered Englishes and then the great Frog Morton (and Cellar, and Across the Pond, and on the Town). I hadn't looked to much anything else for months as I liked the sweetness in Frog along with the touch of Latakia. I am...

    An Apt Analogy?

    I was recently talking to a cigar smoker about a recent experience I had with cigars. It was my third time smoking them and I told him it was hard to enjoy it this time around having been smoking a pipe for the better part of this past year. I much prefer the pipe tobacco taste/aroma to the...

    Electronic ignition durability vs flints

    http://www.pipesandcigars.com/mobile/lighters/96797/decatur-pipe-lighter/ I bought this lighter and it's served me well up until about a week ago. I find instead of pushing the button and getting a flame, it takes 5-10 tries before anything happens. I checked the butane level and its full and it...

    Nimrod Pipelighter - Worth Restoring?

    A coworker recently gave me a number of pipe tobacco related things she found while cleaning her parents' old home. The most interesting is a vintage Nimrod Pipe Lighter. It's bone dry and the flints don't spark when flicking the wheel. I find the design to be intriguing but I already have a...

    Carbon layer peeling?

    I smoked a new pipe last night (Viking Skagen Virgin). I didn't finish it. It started to snow so I dumped the remainder of the bowl and was cleaning it out. It looks like a ring of brown is showing up in the bowl that was originally all blackened. Was this pipe precarboned and did I burn it off...

    Commercial Pipe Racks That Fit a 320KS?

    This is a dumb question but I feel like it needs to be asked. I recently purchased a Mr. Brog pipe rack that fits six pipes. It came this week. Looks and feels great and was a decent price. But my Savinelli 320KS arrived yesterday and it doesn't fit! The bowl and the bit are both too bulky...

    Bjarne Vikings - Are they made in Italy or Denmark?

    A friend of mine has a Viking Classic. I like the looks of it. I was thinking of getting a bent apple pipe by them. The Houston Light. I am confused browsing P&C's site though as some are listed as having an origin of Italy but others say Denmark. Are there two factories? Are some older from one...

    P&C 20% Off Frequency

    I went to make a purchase at P&C with my 20% off coupon and was dismayed when the pipe I wanted was sold out since this morning and the tobacco was backordered! I am not concerned with the tobacco. That'll come back. But I really wanted the pipe and can't find it anywhere else. Hoping they get...

    Savinelli Roma

    Hello all, In my quest to find a Savinelli 320, I've come across a fairly affordable option in the Savinelli Roma. The description for the pipe says it's red. Maybe it's my phone's screen but the pipe looks practically black to me apart from the red rim. Does anyone have one or have you...

    How Many Pipes For the Once a Week Smoker?

    I understand why many of you have so many pipes. If you smoke everyday and smoke multiple types of blends, you need all of them to get the most out of your tobaccos. I'm sure others of you just like collecting them even if you don't use them often. I'm imposing a smaller budget to this new hobby...

    How Long Can I Let My Tobacco Sit Before Relighting It?

    I know you can leave your pipe aside to take care of other things and come back to it simply by relighting it. But what's the time window on that before it either spoils or messes up your pipe? An hour? A day? I wouldn't think it would be any longer than that. Would it be better to get the...

    Big Ben Jade

    I was flipping through the P&C catalogue and a beautiful volcano bowl briar in emerald green struck my eye. Can't find it on their website but I'm oddly intrigued. Does anyone own any of these emerald green pipes? I like the short stout look of it and even my wife says she likes it. I only own a...

    If I Liked Dunhill Early Morning, Would You Think I'd Like Frog Morton?

    The title says it all. I had a bowl of Early Morning and smoked it from top to bottom with only a few relights. What a delight it was! I have heard great things about Frog Morton and must confess I intend on collecting tins. The artwork appeals to me. If I like one FM, would I likely like them...

    Third Time's a Charm

    I'm just over halfway through my third bowl of pipe tobacco. I can actually taste it this time around. Smoking CAO Black out of my MM Legend. I think I did a better job packing it this time. It was too loose the first two times around. I don't know if that's what affected the flavor or if as a...

    Dr. Grabow or Parker

    Hello all, I'm new to the hobby having just picked up my first corncob over the weekend at a hole in the wall tobacco store. I had a heck of a time finding one with all the shops cluttered with those e-cigarettes and hookahs! They didn't stock good pipe tobacco and the guy said I could just pack...
