Churchwardens For Reading?
A friend suggested I invest in a churchwarden, as he found it to be an ideal shape for when he's reading. Usually, I smoke lightweight pipes and nose warmers when I read, but my jaw can't sustain long periods of clenching and the smoke tends to get in my eyes. When he told me to try out a...- zerohunter

I'm excited to finally try this blend, but I'm worried the floral note some have mentioned will ghost a pipe. Anyone with experience with this blend care to weigh in?- zerohunter

Beloved Blends That Hate You In Return
Are there any blends you love but can't smoke because they negatively affect your body? I'm a huge fan of Classic Samsun, but every time I smoke it, I develop an ulcer in my mouth that takes forever to heal. No other blend, McClelland or otherwise, does this to me, but for some reason Classic...- zerohunter

C&D Carolina Red Flake - Smoke It, Trade It, or Age It
I managed to pick up a tin of Carolina Red back before it went the way of the dodo. There are only a handful of reviews of this most recent batch online, so I can't quite get a grasp on what it's like. So: for those who have smoked it, how good is it? What's the nicotine like? Is it hard to keep...- zerohunter

PAD Kicking in...Looking for a Particular Oom Paul
Or some kind of bent clencher that weighs 1.4oz or under. Most oom pauls I come across are quite hefty, even considering that the strain on the jaw is minimized thanks to the general bend of the shape. I'm scouring the web for either an oom paul or a full bent billiard that's light enough to...- zerohunter

10 Year-Old Classic Samsun
I had the pleasure of trying some 10 year-old Classic Samsun, and it blew my mind. It was one of the most unique tasting blends I've ever had. I bought a tin of it fresh from SmokingPipes, and though it's good, it's nothing like the aged. Are there any other blends that would even come close to...- zerohunter

Looking For Someone To Restore My Dunhill
I lucked out and found an estate Dunhill at an antique store, and I am in need of someone to restore it. Although I am no Dunhill expert, I believe it is a Vernon Patent. Anyone on here do restorations and/or can anyone recommend a good restorer? My main concern is the white dot. The stem is...- zerohunter

Kiribi vs. 4th Generation vs. Jifeng
I may be stricken with LAD...I'd like to get a decent butane pipe lighter that isn't the IM Corona Old Boy. My primary lighter is my Zippo, but I've found it difficult to light pipes with irregular shaped bowls (i.e., freehands, artisan models, etc) with my Zippo. So, the Kiribi seems like the...- zerohunter

Where Do You Buy Artisans?
In honor of the Chicago Show approaching this weekend and as a sequel of sorts to this other thread I started, I wanted to pose the question: where do you buy your artisan pipes? This is a topic I am unfamiliar with, as I have never bought an artisan pipe. SmokingPipes is the most obvious...- zerohunter

Where Do You Buy Estates?
I've only ever bought my estate pipes from eBay and from antique stores (when I get lucky). I find eBay to be a reliable source, but it can also be overwhelming. SPC is good too but is often outside my price range. Are there any other sites where you buy your estates?- zerohunter
