    Quintessential Pipe from Various Makers?

    For how much I smoke, I definitely do not need any more pipes, but I know this group understands the desire of PAD. In an attempt to keep the collection as “limited” the best I can, I’m interested in hearing what the Quintessential pipe is for the following pipe makers: Peterson, Savinelli, Dr...

    Pipe Smoking in WW1

    Hello. I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this post, but I wanted to share an interesting documentary on WW1 on YouTube. To see what people went through is really something else, and makes you grateful for their sacrifice. I'm sharing this with the pipe community because there are a...

    Armellini vs Mauro Armellini

    Hello. Can anyone let me know if they have experience with the ARMELLINI pipes that are listed in e-Bay? They look very nice, and seem to be a lot less expensive than "Mauro Armellini" Are they connected companies, and is there a big difference in their quality? I know you usually get what you...

    Resting a Pipe

    If a pipe is used to smoke only one or two bowls, does it need to rest, or can 1 pipe be used indefinitely day after day if it's only getting used for 1 or 2 bowls? Thank you in advance.

    Figuring out What Type of Tobacco I Really Like?

    I'm curious as to how long it takes to find a tobacco you really liked? When you are a new pipe smoker like myself trying to deal with the learning curve, there is a lot of factors that can affect the tobacco experience. There are also so many tobaccos to chose from it's easy to suffer from the...

    I had the pleasure of visiting Independence Hall in Philadelphia recently and thought it was very cool seeing clay pipes on many of the desks where the Declaration of Independence was written. There were more than what I tried to highlight.

    New to me estate pipe

    If this was covered in other “estate” threads, I apologize. I have a question on smoking estate pipes. I just bought a Jirsa estate pipe that looks very clean. Not a lot of cake, and the stem is extremely clean. I’ve cleaned the stem, shank with bristle cleaners, vodka until the pipe cleaners...

    Pipe Reamer question

    Hello. I’m still very new to pipe smoking, and I love everything about it….except the inability to really enjoy the smoking part (smile) due to the learning curve (not staying lit, not getting good taste, poor packing technique and all the other newbie errors you can think of. I trust that it...

    Looking At Pipes Can Be An Addiction

    I’m very new to pipe smoking, but I’ve always had a real appreciation for any handmade crafts, where people put their heart into their products. I can’t stop looking at pipes…even for the few that I wouldn’t necessarily purchase if money was no object, are so beautiful. I can absolutely see how...

    Is Pipe Smoking like riding a bike?

    As a very new pipe smoker, I am having all the typical challenges that you would expect, and not getting the hang of it yet. My intent is to be an occasional smoker.

    Draught hole?

    Hello. I have a very beginner question to ask. I recently bought my first basket pipe, and I now notice that the draught hole is not centered at the bottom of the bowl. It's slightly off to the right, and slightly higher than the bottom. Since I am absolutely new to smoking a pipe, I wanted to...
