Sillem's Black Tobacco Review
Well well well guys - let me tell you, I am so surprised by this tobacco. First off, let me say: the 100 gram / 3.5 oz tin is about $20. However, this may seem expensive, it is well worth the money. I'm not sure what type of tobacco this qualifies as, but my guess is an aromatic. While the...- onizuka

Logging in twice?
Hey Kevin, I finally noticed why this happens to me when I log into the site - but maybe it needs to be looked into further for a quick and easy fix. When I type www.pipesmagazine.com and log in, it asks me to log in again after I'm done. I noticed in the address bar it is pipesmagazine.com...- onizuka

Funny looking stem - What's going on?
Hey guys, I have no idea what this is on the stem, I've seen it on a few estate pipes and this has come from my newest estate pipe purchase - but it is unsmoked. There is no smell, has nothing rubbing off onto my finger when I rub the inside of the bowl and the bowl smells clean - stem and...- onizuka

How Long Do The Tins & Cans of Tobacco Last?
Hey guys, Kind of an odd question, but still being a newbie pipe enthusiast who has recently amassed plenty of tobacco due to TAD and gifts, I now have a dilemma. I have several unopened tins & cans of tobacco. How long do these hold given that they stay sealed? Is there any proper way to...- onizuka

Scooping out the ash then retamping?
So I did something today that I thought improved my smoke but being a new smoker, I have no idea if it really did or if it is psychological. I gently scooped a bit of the ash after about 15 min of smoking and then gently tamped. It seemed to have cooled down a bit and reflavored my smoke. Does...- onizuka

Bubbling on the Pipe Finish?
Well, after close inspection of my Hardcastle Royal Bruyere - it has started to bubble, I assume it's from the heat. This is quite upsetting, as I'm sure there is nothing I can do to repair it, unless it all comes off and I try to refinish it with a matching stain. Has this ever happened to... -

My first REAL smoke
All I have to say is, I wish I had the tools and the means the first time I tried a pipe. I'm so much happier having the tamper, matches, a few throw away pipes, and lots of tobacco to play around with. I can't wait to try the other blends I got, so far, Lane Limited 1Q has proved to be an...- onizuka

Stigmas regarding younger pipe smokers?
Hey guys, so I had recently asked some friends of mine what they thought about pipe smokers my age (I'm almost 29), and I have a baby face and can barely grow any facial hair. Their idea of younger pipe smokers is that they're pretentious and that pipe smoking seems to be something that should...- onizuka

Woke up from a crazy dream (pipe related)
I just woke up not too long ago from a crazy dream. For some odd reason I had a dream about cleaning pipes with a pipe cleaner and buying bulk tobacco at an outrageously low price due to "fleet tobacco pricing"; whatever that means. Any how, I woke up with the strongest urge to go online...- onizuka

Volume Comparisons of Tobacco to Objects?
Hey guys, being a new guy I got a few questions. First off, does anybody have a 50 gram tin they can show next to say, a CD so I can get an approximation of how much tobacco I'm really getting? I know it's relatively 2 oz, but that just seems like so little. Maybe someone can show a bag of...- onizuka

Healthy Foods You Eat?
Anybody here into trying to eat healthier? I've been trying to do healthier eating for about a month, but once in a while I still find myself eating garbage (fast food).

Minty/Menthol blends?
I did a search but I only found things about nasal tobacco. Any how, does anybody here have any experience with a minty or menthol tobacco blend for pipes?

The Start of My Pipe Collection?
Hey guys, this is the first pipe I've ever bought. I bought it on eBay and it finally arrived today. Any how, I think it's worth the price I paid ($95). It actually came with the box, pipe cleaners, balsa filters, leather pouch, and a stand (all seemingly original, as they say Savinelli on...
