    Who Bought This Ryan Alden Estate On This Forum In 2020?

    In October 2020 a user on this forum named f5rd2hy was selling this Ryan Alden pipe. I was on a special trip with my wife and messaged the guy and wasn’t really focused because I wanted to stay focused on my wife. The next day, I believe it was, he told me it was sold to another person on this...

    Have You Noticed A Slow Down In Sales/Trading?

    The forum seems to be its typical self, with the normal amount of posting and threads. However, has anyone else noticed a slowing in pipe/tobacco sales and trades? The Facebook groups have also been unusually quiet. A few days ago the Danish Pipe Shop sent me an email reply to a question I...

    Dating Former Pipes

    Does anyone here know how to date Former pipes? I found what appears to be some older ones (that look like they are from the same era), but I am unsure of the era. He has changed his markings and font several times (even recently), so I’m assuming one can guesstimate the era based on the...

    PSA: Don’t Leave Your Pipes On Your Lap

    I left my Jack Howell pipe on my lap last night, and then stood up, the pipe fell on the ground and the stem snapped. I’m emailing Jack Howell to inquire about a replacement stem. Is there a way to get the snapped stem out of the mortise, or should I leave that for the professional?

    Dunhill Rollagas Christmas Present: Where To Service?

    My wife found me a Dunhill Rollagas 18k for Christmas, without me ever asking for it or anything pipe related. She just knows I like Dunhill and thought it would be a unique present. Very thoughtful of her. Here’s the thing: The seller used photos of it he probably found on the internet. In the...

    Rattling Stem at the Tenon and Mortise

    I just got a pipe that is unsmoked from the 2000s. The stem is rattling due to the tenon and mortise not having a tight fit. I was thinking of stuffing a paper towel in there, but is there a more permanent fix to this? I hope you are all having a great Thanksgiving week.

    What Is This On My Ashton?

    I just bought an incredible Ashton from Jimmy Craig, so I was very careful the first time I smoked it. But after my first time smoking it I noticed this on the top of the bowl, left side (the lighter discoloration, which looks almost like dust or ash in the photo). I cannot remember if the pipe...

    What Is This on the Inside of My Tin?

    Just curious what this is, and if I should just go on smoking it. I compared it to other tins (including tins from the same brand) and did not see anything similar.

    McClelland Perique vs Other Perique

    Is there any discernible difference between McClelland Perique and other Perique on the market? Is it worth seeking out McClelland Perique? Perhaps there was a special process, but I have no idea.

    Question About Salty Dogs/Mick McQuaid Package

    I have packages of Salty Dogs and Mick McQuaid laying around, and also Captain Black Grape (my all time favorite). Are these pouches good to go for long term storage, or should I transfer them to jars? They seem to be paper, wrapped with plastic. The tobacco in the Mick McQuaid packs feels good...

    Share Your Best Pipe Memories

    One of my favorite things about reading Tobacco Reviews is that you will find stories of smoking experiences that often transport you to that moment, as you can relate to them and picture yourself in that moment, smoking a pipe. Since it’s Christmas time I figured it’s a good time to gather...

    Smoke Shop At Irvine Spectrum In California

    Does anyone remember the smoke shop at the Irvine Spectrum in Orange County, California? I believe it closed around 2008. I am having some major nostalgia over it today. I was too young when it was open to remember everything that was sold there. Did it sell pipe tobacco? What was the name of...

    Anyone Have Thoughts on Christian Ruetz Pipes

    Has anyone had any experience with Austrian pipe maker Christian Ruetz? I am not looking to buy one right now, but I saw his pipes and started wondering if they smoke well, since I have never heard of them. Cheers

    How Do You Clean Pipes with Small Bores?

    I now have several pipes, mostly older pipes, that have little bores that do not allow a pipe cleaner to pass through. Either the normal size BJ Long or the tapered BJ Long size cleaners. I can jam them in there and make it maybe an inch or so. Additionally, tapered (wider) pipe cleaners wick...

    West Coast Pipe Show 2021 Discussion

    November 6th & 7th, Las Vegas, NV Marty has said that the show will go on as long as Vegas is fully open by the time of the show. So let’s start a discussion. I am looking forward to the show as much as anyone else, and I think we all need a pipe show.

    How Long Does It Take You to Smoke Through a Tin?

    I saw some talk about hoarding, etc., and I largely ignored it, and then seeing people saying they buy loads of tins and then go back to purchase more (which I have no problem with), but it got me thinking: How long does it take you to smoke through a tin? One week? Two weeks? Do you dip in...

    What Is a Pipe You Regret Not Purchasing?

    What is a pipe you really thought about buying, maybe for a minute or a few days, and then when it was sold you kicked yourself for not buying it? I’m talking about those pipes that spoke to you, where you should have just bit the bullet and threw money at your screen. Post your reason for not...

    Bought an Old Tin of Balkan Sobranie w/ some Tobacco

    I picked up this old tin of Balkan Sobranie. It still has some tobacco at the bottom, which I’m wondering if I can rehydrate. Whether the tobacco is Balkan Sobranie I’m not sure of. Either way, it’s a cool tin to have next to my pipe racks.

    PSA: Jar Your Samuel Gawith Boxes

    I bought some bulk boxes of Kendal Plug, FVF, and St. James Flake last summer, and decided to jar them up yesterday. I was thinking of letting them sit and age in the bag inside the box, just like Esoterica, but got a feeling that the bag inside wouldn’t be storage quality. I believe I was...
