    Turn Your Back Even For A Minute...

    Speaking as someone who has been just living off their cellar for the last few years combined with a lapse in forum involvement, I am shocked and saddened about mcclelland going under, Dunhill dropping their pipe tobacco line, h&h being manufactured by Sutliff, Missouri meerschaum seconds bag...

    Rule 9?

    Best Brown Raspberry?

    So I received my first 250g box of Samuel Gawith Best Brown Flake (having previously only smoked out of tins), and imagine my surprise when I opened the shrinkwrapped box followed by the Ziploc contained within only to be greeted with a prominent aroma of raspberry. Not sure what to make of...

    Is SHPC Great Hiatus on Permanent Hiatus?

    Because I have been patiently waiting for this incredible blend to become available again for quite a while now. I'm not too proud to beg :crying:

    A Delightful Beverage!

    In honor of not having to do anything responsible later (or early tomorrow, for that matter), I decided to make myself a drink. Since it's only about 3pm Eastern, and thus a little early to break out the rocks glass for a straight whisky, I thought a mixed drink was in order (not my standard MO...

    First Blend You "Got" (or: The Art of Opening Doors)

    Query: What was the first blend that stopped you in your tracks and made you realize that piping was for you? Mine was Davidoff's Royalty. I don't remember what my rationale was for my first order, and lacking a good pipe-forward B&M, I was kind of winging it. It consisted of Davidoff Danish...

    Is There Anything Stylistically Comparable to Dark Star?

    Dark Star has pretty much become my favorite pure Virgina. Other than the occasional need for a more (for lack of a better term) trebly and less sour VA, DS has wormed its way into my heart, nose, lungs, and palate as my personal premier Virginia. My question is: Does anyone know of a comparably...

    First Peterson System Pipe On The Way!

    Just ordered This Little Number from smokingpipes.com. Been eyeballing system pipes for a while out of curiosity and admiration for the lines of the Peterson 301, and thought I'd pull the trigger in honor of... It's been a while since I bought a pipe. :D I'm pretty fired up to start breaking...

    Thoughts on Red Rapparee?

    Was toying with picking up a few tins, as it seems pretty much right up my alley. I'm dangerously close to the SWMBO-approved quarter 1 spending limit for TAD based adventures, and this purchase would put me at said limit. That said, I'm a fan of McC's Bombay Court, Orient 996, Yenidje Supreme...

    Question Regarding Potential Corruption of Tin-Lining:

    So, I just popped a 100g tin of Bombay Extra today, and upon inspection noticed myriad blisters on the lining of the tin. Each about the size of a pinhead or smaller, none that were visible had any damage. So just many many many tiny bubbles. I was wondering: is this nascent corrosion? Or...

    In Light of the Season, a Libation

    Charles Mingus' Eggnog Recipe. That should get you through pretty much anything (barring a traffic stop) this holiday season. :mrgreen:

    Alas, I Have Returned!

    Due to a broken computer and deeming the time appropriate for a subsequent "tech detox", I've not been on the forum since August-ish. So hello again to the old guard, and hello for the first time to the people who have joined up since my hiatus. Happy smoking! :puffy:

    Lawrence, A Question:

    Not needling, just curious. Had the Glass Pipe post by Pipestud been in the General Discussion portion of the forum would you still have closed it? Rule #7 seems slightly at odds with the basic concept of the General Discussion area. Genuinely curious. -Sean

    FWIW: Maybe a Good Combo

    I'll let you know tomorrow after I actually smoke it, but it seemed like a good idea when I was throwing things into a bag for a ridiculous workday melange. So: Storm Front, St. James Woods, and some McC blending perique in about a 1.5:1:.5 ratio. Eyeballed, not weighed out or anything. Hell...

    McClelland Royal Cajun Blends?

    Anyone have any thoughts on any of these offerings? I'm curious, but not quite curious enough to commit. Impressions?

    Irish Flake

    Well. Today a gentleman with whom I work gave me something. You may be able to guess what it was from the title of the post. He's a cigar guy primarily, but as I found out today, he's getting into pipery. Not sure which tobacconist he went to, but they recommended Peterson's Irish Flake. His...

    Pulled The Trigger...

    Well I pulled some strings (purse strings, that is) and managed to free up some funds. Somewhat unfortunately, part of the deal was that I'd curb my PAD and TAD through quarter 3... Didn't overthink it. Done and done. So coming soon to a home near my neighbors': Morgan Briar Cigar Black Shag...

    By Golly, I Think I've Figured It Out!

    So, I got this sexy and huge Philip Trypis billiard with a plateau rim and about 1/8 bent stem off BriarBid from forum member Pruss, and have pretty much sat on it for the past month. Problem was: I couldn't figure out what I wanted to break it in with. I wanted it to be neutral (in case I...

    On McClelland:

    Anyone have any idea from which distillery McC gets their much vaunted Staves? Because I love smoking FMC and the Virginia 35, and can't imagine not loving the whisky that's responsible for this deliciousness. And as a whisky fan, this seems like important information to me. Or is it a trade...

    Think I've Found My VAPer!

    Holy hot damn! Just cracked my first tin of McC's St. James Woods, and three bowls into it I'm still just blown away. Got some Blackwoods Flake in the same order, but that's going to have to wait, I think. McClelland VA's are something else, man. On a related note, anyone know how long that...
