    I Hit a Triple

    Im a big fan of Peterson pipes, so I will often scroll through the Peterson pipe pages. Im a habitual liker-of-posts, but I comment only a small percentage of the time in which Im on the forum. I did however make a comment of admiration about a ‘MADE IS ENGLAD’ Peterson that ashdigger posted a...

    Tobacco Reviews Website Update

    TR has a new update which is saw for the first time last night. The bottom of the TR page states its a "STC Holdings LLC, a division of Mac Baren USA". The website seems a little clunky on my phone but flows a lot better on a desktop. That being said, the site seems to load much slower and Ive...

    Castello Blends at SmokingPipes

    I didn't even know these blends existed until I got the email today. The "Aged 8 Years" made the blends seem special haha. Does anyone have any experience with them? I was able to pick up a couple of the Collection and Sea Rock but I missed out on the Fiammata.

    “Limited Blend”???

    Does anyone have any information on this mystery limited blend? The advertisement was on a Cup O Joes email. The picture is of a square tin so I’m assuming Gawith product?? These blending houses are killing me with these limited releases. It almost seems like a marketing ploy to get me buy...

    Stem Repair

    Im looking for suggestions on stem repair. I dont think Ill be able to fix this to my own satisfaction, mostly because Im not exactly sure what was done, but I thought Id ask for suggestion on how to repair the stem. Ill probably wind up send the pipe to Briarville. It almost looks like there...

    Tin Crate

    This is a little crate project I made to help organize some of my coin style tins. The crate will hold 12 columns of 11 tins for a total of 132 tins. Overall dimensions 14 ¾ wide, 18 5/8 long, and 12 ¾ tall (measurements are approximate ha). There is enough room to remove each column without...

    Im looking for opinions on AKB and IMP meerschaum pipes. AKB and IMP are the main meerschaum pipe brands on SP. The have some nice products, but I dont know much about the companies. Any insights and opinions on quality would be appreciated. Also I know its been mentioned several times, but I...

    Books About Pipes

    Im looking for recommendations on pipe and pipe tobacco books. Anything from books about how to make pipe, books about pipe makers, books on the history of pipe manufactures, books on blenders, books on how to blend, etc. All things pipes and pipe tobacco. So far Ive got the Peterson Pipe book...

    Peterson Pipe Stem

    Should I attempt a repair or leave the stem/tenon as is? The tenon insert for the stem is stuck in the shank. The pipe still smokes normally. My gut feel is leave the pipe as is, but I would prefer to have the tenon insert in the stem. The pipe is a Peterson black meerschaum just FYI.

    SPC Virginia Jazz Signature Series

    Does anyone know anything about Seattle Pipe Clubs Virginia Jazz Signature Series blend? The only thing Ive been able to find is the little description on tobaccopipes.com website. Virginia perique crumble cake with 10 year old Virginias and Acadian perique.

    Coloring Bowls?

    What is the point of the meerschaum coloring bowls? I assume the coloring bowl itself will color, but are the coloring bowls supposed to help the meerschaum pipe color as well? Does the coloring bowl make a briar pipe smoke like a meerschaum pipe?

    Detached Peterson Band

    Any recommendations on adhesives to reattach the band? I assume fixing the band is simple as applying a small amount of glue then reattaching the band, but any pointers on how much glue, set time, etc, would also be appreciated.

    Cellaring Too Long?

    Is there a point in time with cellaring (in sealed tins/jars) when the tobaccos start having diminished returns (flavor, texture, etc) from cellaring too long? Most of the posts I read talk about cellared tobacco that has been put away for 2-5 years, and some posts which refer to 10+ years. Id...

    Obsidian oil or carnauba wax for stem?

    Which is better for storing pipe stem? I would assume that both would be sufficient for preventing oxidation, but is one better than the other? Also the carnauba wax applied with a buffer.

    Pipe Making Hardware

    What is this tool and where can I get one? Ive seen 1/4, 1/2, etc motors, but I dont know much about the arbor/wheel, and Im having a hard time finding any information. I wasnt sure where to put this post, but I thought this would be the best category.

    Pipes Safe on Pipe Stand?

    Is there any concern about scratching/damaging pipes on a wooden pipe stand? I know briar is a dense hardwood, but I have some concern about scratching/damaging the finish and/or briar on the bare wood of a pipe stand. Im going to attempt to make a pipe stand out of oak, and was wondering if...
