    MBSD Pipes

    Found this shop on eBay and then noticed they were an advertiser here. Mitchell is awesome to work with so far, highly recommended!

    Recommendation for a Meer Repair Shop

    I had used Walker for many years and he always did an excellent job. Any recommendations for someone with comparable quality and pride in their work? I have an antique GBD Meer that I would like cleaned up/restored. Thanks in advance

    GH Dark Plug

    Bought a bunch back in 2017 but never really got into it due to the heavy lakeland flavor and difficulty in getting it to stay lit. 6 years later I finally cracked open the jar it was in and gave it a whirl. Knowing better now I cut some off the block, chopped it up, and let it sit out for a...

    Gawith Hoggarth Vintage Cut

    Is there any possibility that this will taste different than the regular shag cuts? Of course it sounds intriguing, but I just can't believe that the exact same blend will taste any different with a slightly different cut. I really like Kendall Dark as example, have tried the "thick cut" version...

    Question about Perique

    Is it normal to get a tingle on the tongue when smoking a VaPer? I rarely smoked Va blends because I almost always get bite, particularly from bright Va. I don't seem to have a problem with Carolina Red Flake as long as I sip, I can enjoy it. However I just opened a tin of Carolina Red w/Perique...

    Savinelli PAD

    Ran across the new Antica line on SP and found the description interesting. These are supposed to be old Briar stummels that they found and finished. Some discontinued shapes like the 506 that I picked up. Really nice blast, a no filter stem and reasonable price. My Savinelli 4 squares are some...

    Large Straight Pipes

    Anyone into the larger pipes? I thought I was and have a few that I never smoke. Bowl so large by the time I finish I'm on another plain...lol. I'll list them here if anyone has interest, otherwise off to Ebay.

    9mm filters

    Anyone use them? I have a box or 2 of the Vauen Dr. Perl Junior filters that I haven't used for years. If anyone in the USA wants them, their yours for free.

    Weird Stem on a GBD

    Have any of you seen anything like this before? I asked Steve Pipestud since I got it from him and he says he didn't even notice since he "sees so many of them" and called it a "looped stem". I call bullsh-t. Looks like someone filed a notch on either side of the button and there is no mention...

    Castello Sea Rock

    I have seen 3 designations: Sea Rock, Sea Rock Briar, and Old Sea Rock. Does anyone know if there are actual differences between these. Curious about this.

    Where are the GH Ropes?

    Been wanting to stock up on some GH but it's sold out everywhere I've looked. Brown Irish X, Rum Twist, Maple Twist, etc. The only place I saw it at recently was too hat, but their price with tax and shipping makes a 500g box very expensive.

    Hello from IL

    Figured I would do an intro post since I've been lurking for a while and have had a few great deals with members here. My name is Andy and I'm from the Chicago northwest burbs. I'm a small business owner, have a wonderful wife and 2 grown boys. I've been a serious cigar smoker for over 20 years...
