    Legality of Trading Tobacco

    I've never traded/swapped tobacco before. Is there any legality issues at risk for doing so beyond assuring you aren't dealing with a minor? Thanks!

    I've been ordering from them for the past 2 years with no issues. What have you heard?

    Antique Store Find

    I often get more excited about estate finds that require a little TLC. At the end of the project I feel I have more of a relationship with the pipe.

    Peterson Select Pipes Are 30 to 50% Off

    I wish I hadn't seen this post. I have a soft spot for Pete's. The XL 15 is looking me dead in the eye.

    Cake Questions

    I like a good dry burley to break in my pipes. For me I always head to C&D for their Briar Fox blend. It comes dry and smokes easily to the bottom of the bowl. I get no hint of a casing from it. Most of the tobaccos you listed are cased. The sugars in them can get quite gummy. Try buying a tin...

    Peterson XL Range

    I have an XL Dublin shape, 3/4 bent. The proportions on mine are very close to that of an Oom Paul. It's tall, thick, and smokes the whole evening away.

    Erik Nording Compass Pipes

    Does anyone have any experience with Nording's Compass pipe? I'm interested in getting a poker as I don't own one. When I was searching around the internet I came across his Compass pipe and it intrigued me. I think the price is good at $38 shipped (new.) It's certainly non-traditional, but...

    McClelland Christmas Cheer Alternative?

    I just found a tin of CC 2015 and 2 tins of CC 2016 at a B&M today. So there is still some out there to be had.

    Christmas Cheer

    Just thought I would post this for anyone in the Evansville, IN area. I stopped by a shop called Cigar! Cigar! while traveling and found great collection of tobacco. I picked up a tin CC 2015. Sorry but I took the last one. They still have 2 tins of 2016 I left behind.

    New Pipes Arrived In Time For Vacation!

    Your HCA is gorgeous. Perhaps it's time for me to add a Stanwell to the rotation.

    McClelland Christmas Cheer Alternative?

    I worried about having to ask this question myself with the FDA regulations possibly becoming a permanent fixture. I have 5 tins of CC left, 2 of 16 and 3 of 17. I doubt I'll open them for some time. I told myself last year that I'd enjoy a tin of 2016 and then hide the rest. So far I've managed...

    Linkman's Fifty Grand Question

    I picked up a Linkman's Fifty Grand pipe at a local antique shops. I didn't know anything about it, but since it was well smoked I figured it was worth picking up hoping it would be a good performer. I got home and did some research. What I discovered is that all Fifty Grand pipes are marked...

    Why Such High Cost on Some Pipes?

    Here are my thoughts. Some times we buy thing for function, sometimes we but things for price. While I've never purchased a pipe that cost $350 or up, I have purchased pipes that are expensive relative to my means. For me the most I'm willing to shell out on a pipe is no more than $250. That...

    Meet and Greet, Social Smoke (Bloomington, IN area)

    I just recently acquired some Peterson St. Patrick's Day 2017 tobacco. My aunt was vacationing in Ireland and picked me up some PSPD tobacco. It's a wonderful smoke and one that I feel should be shared considering you can't buy it in the states. All of my smoking friends stick with cigars, so I...

    Pipe smoking in a cigar bar

    As hugodrax pointed out, if the place sells drinks purchasing one should cover you. However, my experience has been that many cigar shops are referred to as cigar bars even if they don't sell alcohol. It can be a play on words. weedsnager if the briar and the burley shop in Bloomington is where...

    Mauro Armellini?

    I just acquired a Mauro Armellini Verona 704 estate purchase. Can anyone share any information they have on their pipes? It looks gorgeous so I couldn't resist. I paid under $50 for it. Hopefully someone will tell me I got a good deal, It has a slight chip on the outer rim that will hide nicely...
