Wife Loves Lat Blends
...Well she's never even took a puff of tobacco in any form, but lucky me, she loves the smell of Lat blends the best! Wife is an avid perfume collector, which can get expensive, but makes it easy for me when birthdays and anniversaries roll around. I often find myself with a wrist in my face...- metarzan

Little Old Pipe Stamped "Cafe" ?
Picked up this pipe today from an antique dealer for $3 and I have no idea on it's age or the maker. I have been keeping an eye out for smaller bowled pipes and I really dig the lines on this one. The briar is about 2.5" and the stem 4.5" for a total of 7" but the bowl is only 9/16" across the... -

Seven Salty Savs Showing Signs of Steady Smoking
Picked up 8 estate pipes at an antique mall for $90. 7 Savinellis and 1 Stanwell Zebrano. I have the matching Zebrano unfiltered, so good pair. The Savinellis have me scratching my head a bit. 4 of them are stamped "Golden Rod" I guess referring to the alternating band of sparking black and... -
Dunhill Dilema
Came across a dealer at an antique mall today who picked up two Dunhills recently at a garage sale. Ug why not me? She did not have them on her but she later sent me this one picture with any description she could read. I own many pipes but zero Dunhills and my knowledge on them is very limited... -
Three Antique Mall Pipes
Today I ventured a little further from home and came across a nice little antique mall with a decent size collection of mostly terrible pipes. There were three pipes that caught my eye, nothing fancy, and I was able to negotiate the price down from $37 to $19 dollars for all. Sold! The top pipe... -
Pipes & Cigars Postcard
Checked the mail today to make sure there were no surprises that I had forgotten about. Mostly bills/junk but also a postcard from Pipes & Cigars with a 50% off Captain Black sampler package. Seems odd to me that a company with such a diverse and exquisite selection would be pushing a product...- metarzan

Blending Tambolaka
I have been wanting to make a blend centered around Tambolaka for a while. Definitely not a fan of the nicotine content but do think it would offer a good background to build from. I have less than an ounce (.8oz/23g) and would like to use it all. I also have blending Latakia and Perique...- metarzan

Buffing Station Up!
Finally bought a lathe to fit the Beall 3 on mandrel. I got the Beall system a couple years back and tinkered around trying to fix an old lathe to put it on but finally just went for new and more compact. Kicking myself for waiting so long because the results are phenomenal right out of the...- metarzan

Seven New Blends to Me
Went looking for a tin of Magnum Opus. Just my luck, on backorder, again. Just like the few times before I went looking for Magnum O, I end up with about 7 other blends! Sometimes I wonder if this is an intentional, well calculated marketing maneuver? Went ahead and ordered the Magnum O this...- metarzan

Balkan Sobranie and other J.F. Germain & Son's... Alert
A secret spot :lol: of mine received a portion of the recent J.F. Germain shipment (Includes Esoterica). Pipe tobacco is not their main commodity so when the usual sources dry up this place often comes through. They do not want to be inundated by phone calls and asked to not post their...- metarzan

Cerberus anyone?
Does anyone make Cerberus a usual part of their rotation? I received a tin a year or two back when it was substituted for Magnum Opus because it was unavailable. Maybe I was sorta put off for not getting the Magnum Opus (which I have still yet to try) so I slammed it into the back of the cellar...- metarzan

Antique Alley - On the hunt for briar!
Twice each year there is an antique festival in my area that spans over 30 miles of country roads. Fields are converted to antique dealer booths and parking lots, and people come from all over the country. Today I will be scanning every nook and cranny for rare, estate briar. Have had decent...- metarzan

Latakia with Anise Blend?
Looks like Tewksbury stopped offering their Nosferatu blend: "English-style tobacco blend teases with a slight hint of anise", as it is not listed on the website any longer. Man I loved Nosferatu! It got me wondering if there are similar blends that I am overlooking. It's not so much that I love...- metarzan

Tambolaka
Where can I get a "stick" of Tambolaka? I have wanted to enjoy the whole process for a while now... unwrap, unwrap, slice, chop, load, smoke, spin... 8O Another current thread re-upped my interest in this tobacco. Has anyone here actually ever seen this stuff in person? Where? When? how much?- metarzan

Peterson Factory - Shop in Dublin
My sister is going to be visiting Dublin from Texas in January. I have been wanting a Dracula model 03 to dedicate to Tewksbury Nosferatu (excellent smoke!).

I stumbled across "Troll Hunter" in Netflix a year or so back and enjoyed it enough to watch it a couple times since. It is filmed in Norway and has some beautiful scenery. The movie is in subtitles too but don't let that deter you from checking it out. It would be best to watch this movie not...- metarzan

Lorenzo Titano
Picked up an estate from an antique store today for $25. It is a Lorenzo Titano 8715 also stamped Ravenna under Lorenzo. Have found other pipes from the Titano series but not this one. This sucker it large! Largest briar I own. The design may be Rhodesian. Sorry I can't post a pic yet (trying to...
