Sasquatch Hits The Ball Out Of The Park!
Pun intended: I asked Todd to make this for me a few months ago. I said I wanted a 1/4 bent ball, I wanted it big, I wanted a cumberland diamond stem, and I wanted a light color. I told him that I didn't care about blemishes in the briar- there's a tiny spot that he offered to hide with a... -

Besides Me, Who Orders Tobacco Based on Cut?
This sounds silly, but, I've been choosing my cut recently but ease of storing, rather than how I necessarily like to smoke it. For example, with Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake and Luxury Bulleseye Flake, I can fit 10-14 oz in a jar. With ribbon cuts, I'm lucky to fit 6-8 oz in a jar. With...- loadclear

Cellaring While Minimizing Aging?
Or does it really matter? I've got a few light English mixtures in the cellar. I'm buying in quantity for the purpose of having them for the future, not necessarily to age (although I am aging VA's on purpose). These light/delicate Englishes have just the right amount of Latakia now, and I...- loadclear

Ball Jar Storage Ideas
Alright folks, I'm at the point where two full kitchen cupboards from top to bottom are full of nothing but ball/kerr/mason jars of tobacco. I've been buying a lot of bulk recently, and have reached critical mass for storage. I have a fair amount of floor space to devote- a large kitchen with...- loadclear

Are There Typically Warranties on Pipes?
This guy: Is about a month old. It has never been dropped, smoked hot, or had the stem removed when hot. It's one of my better smokers. Is this just a "tough situation" for me, or is it normal for a seller to warranty such a thing? It wasn't very expensive. I didn't want to make a stink... -

Quintessential Shapes by Maker
There are certain makers who, in my opinion have nailed the classic shapes. For example, I think that the GBD 357 is a great, if not the best example of a Prince in form. When I think of a Billiard, I think of a classic Dunhill 3 series. What are your opinions of a specific general shape, and... -

If You Cannot Buy the Rack You Want, Build It.
I tried to find a wall rack that would hold what I wanted, and couldn't find anything close that was available. The closest I found was on SPC, but they were not in stock. I hemmed and hawed over what materials to use, and finally decided on rustic looking wood from Home Depot. In hindsight...- loadclear

What Is That Smell/Taste?
Relatively new pipe smoker here, longtime cigarette smoker, smoked pipes (aros) off and on for a few years now. I recently decided to get serious with a new gifted briar, and a bag of MM's I forgot about. I just cracked my first tin of non-cheap aros- Peterson's Old Dublin and there's...- loadclear
