    Boda Pipes and Cigar Lounge in Greenville, SC

    I deployed to Afghanistan in 2019 and promptly got to spreading the gospel of pipes to anyone who would listen. One of those who did was a buddy of mine from Greenville. He instantly took a shine to our fine hobby and promptly called his folks back home to tell them all about it. His dad...

    In Need of 1A Linfield Replacement

    I really enjoy the now-defunct Murray's line English blends, particularly 1A Linfield. What I like most about that blend is the savory aspect. Meaty, almost, like mesquite barbecue. I smoke a lot of English and Balkan blends, but I haven't encountered another that has that same savory aspect...

    Scorched Mouth Prevention

    Today's lesson in "Old Dogs, New Tricks." I switch between Virginias and Burleys several times a year, whenever the seasons change or I just get a hankering. I always scorch my mouth during the transition, though, which means that for a week I don't get to smoke as much as I would like. But...

    6mm Artisan Pipes

    Can you fine folks think of any independent carvers doing 6mm filtered pipes? While I like the Italian factories, they all have the same narrow drafthole drilling. Which I hate. As an aside, I think one of the reasons that MM cobs smoke so well is that they have a very wide draft which helps any...

    What Is Your Best Value Pipe Brand?

    Value is subjective, of course. The traits one person looks for or defines as valued are not often shared, especially for something as personal as a smoking pipe. Some like a wide open draft, others prefer it restricted. Some look for hand-tuning, others want modularity. For most people, I...

    My First Antique Store Find!

    Not to come off too Penthouse Letters ("Dear Penthouse, I never thought this would happen to me, but...") here, but I was certain that solid antique store finds were a thing of the past and that I would never gain that sweet feel of scoring an undervalued gem. No more! Along with a gently used...

    Active Club In Killeen, TX Area

    Anyone on here know of a pipe club in the Killeen/Ft. Hood area, or have any interest in starting one? I'm perfectly happy trying to find the perfect tobacco pairing for a Ranch Water on my back porch, but I'm also a social creature. Bonus points if you're willing to taste test a couple of...

    FINALLY.

    It took me 14 months, but I finally did it. I have now listened to every episode of the podcast. Not saying I feel violated, but I'm also not saying I don't.

    New Pipe

    Just received this Bob Hayes estate courtesy of my friendly neighborhood USPS employee. Has a very wide bit and narrow drilling, but smokes well. Looks pretty dang fine, to boot.

    Greetings, Party People.

    Other than the Army, I'm not really a joiner, but I kept hearing about you great folks on the podcast and couldn't resist the temptation to get to know you all. It sucks that in this weird cultural moment we're in I feel that I have to qualify that with the caveat that I really do mean it, no...
