    Your Favorite Blends to Age

    If you have aged tobacco for a long period of time, what has aged (not just stored) the best? How long did you age it? How did it change? I'm interested in responses from people who have actually done this. I'm sure this has been done but perhaps there is some fresh input on aged tobacco...

    Possible Way To Save Tin Art?

    Warning labels are getting ever more dire, ugly, and big. The governmental regulations are worse for this in some places than others. Often they take up half or more of the tin which makes it less worthwhile to even have tin art. It looks like Pfeifen Huber has a nice solution to this with...

    Gonna Do The Twist

    And it goes like this: So this will be a new tobacco experience for me. It is "Hallo Twist" from Tabak aus Kiel and a creation of Tom Darasz. It is surprisingly solid chunk of tobacco. I'm a little surprised that the outer cover obscures the twisted rope making it more of a big chunk. Yes...

    Saint Nicholas Day

    Today is Saint Nicholas Day. My boys must have been good because Nicholas left chocolate and stutenkerle for them! This year the boys ate up the stutenkerle before I got a photo but here is a photo of them from last year. I love that pipe smoking pastries are part of the tradition. Every...

    Happy Halloween!

    Happy Halloween everyone! Just isn't the same here in Germany but I've always liked Halloween a lot. I carved some jack o'lanterns with my boys and the neighbor's boy which was a lot of fun and a bit of a novelty here. Anyway, here is a pipe smoking jack o'lantern! Boo!!!

    Seek Information on "Cornwall" Pipe

    I purchased this as a bang around, windy day, semi-disposable pipe for three and a half bucks off Ebay. As it turns out it as a horrible fill near the rim that produces a small crack on the rim. The only mark on the pipe is "Cornwall". Via the Internet I am aware that GBD has a second called...

    Why is Pipe Smoking Associated With Medieval Themed Books/Movies/Events?

    I wonder if anyone has insight into this. Why is pipe smoking associated with medieval and renaissance stuff? Lots of medieval fantasy books and movies ( for example wizards smoking pipes) and renaissance fair folks seem to think that smoking a pipe fits right into the time period. It seems...

    Questions Regarding Estate Punto Oro Savinelli

    I recently acquired an estate Savinelli Punto Oro from Ebay in Germany. First I notice that under the "Punto Oro" stamp are three punched holes, deeper that the stamp. Does this indicate a rejected pipe? I don't know what to make of it. Secondly it came with two stems that appear to be very...

    Remembering Brave Men

    Smoking a pipe and remembering that 75 years ago was D Day. Here's to the men that fell, the ones who were wounded physically and psychologically, and the ones who survived. I promise them that I will confront fascism however I can, whenever and wherever I encounter it.

    The $100 pipe collection

    Sorry for the low quality photo! A few posts got me thinking about pipes and prices. Especially when new pipes costing a hundred bucks or more have some serious defect. Here is a post expounding one of the positive attributes of estate pipes (they can be cheap!). Of course that 20 buck...

    Jarl Chieftan? (pictures)

    Seeing so many nice new pipes on the forum produced a bit of PAD in me. However I needed to do it on the cheap so bid and won an estate pipe for less than 10 bucks on a famous auction site. Now as I await the arrival of my new acquisition I wonder if anyone can shed light on this mysterious...

    Here in Germany good boys and girls will receive special treats in their shoes tonight. They will also get a Stutenkerl which is traditionally baked with a clay pipe. Here are the ones my boys will awake to in the morning.

    Can This Old BBB Be Saved? pic heavy

    I recently acquired this pipe from an Ebay auction in Germany. The description was sparse, the photos were blurry, but I took a chance on it anyway. Accidentally bid more than intended; here 2.50 is 2,500.00 in USA. The comma and period are reversed. Anyhow 20 bucks later it has arrived...

    Moving Tobacco Supply From Europe to USA

    I'm an American living in Germany. Germany has some very good blends (HU, Rattray's, Dan, Peter Heinrichs et al). When it comes time to move back to the states how can I bring my tobacco with me? What are the limits for what can be brought in aboard a plane? I've only found information on...
