    Question About Pipemakers Emporium

    Hey guys! I've started making pipes here recently (some successes and some complete steamers) and just bought a tenon cutting tool from PME with some lucite. Their customer service has been amazing! But I was curious if you guys have purchased the tenon cutter, and what it's supposed to come...

    Saying 'Hey' During a Smoke Break...

    Great smoke in my calabash while writing my term paper over legal moralism and application of the harm principle in minority supreme court opinion. Fun stuff but time consuming! My hidden pipes/comic book pocket change jar is coming along nicely, but after looking at the 'build your own pipe'...

    I'm Going To Try Something

    I have some haunted bookshop. It's good, but holy Moses it's stout. I'm gonna cut it with 25% burley light without the bite. I'll report back!

    Guitar Gear Opinion

    I have a killer semi hollow telecaster body that needs to be completed. It's routed for standard tele bridge but mini humbucker/p90 in the neck. Thing is, I really want the p90 in the bridge! Not the neck! I've had many people tell me it's not a good Idea to have that bridge piece rerouted to...

    Cherry Tobaccos!

    hey guys and gals! Sorry I've been so out of the loop lately, hope everyone is doing well. Looking for a decent cherry flavored tobacco. I've tried a few house blends and they've all left me a pool of goop at the end of the bowl, burned hot, and bite like crazy. I've had a shopkeeps tell me...

    Christmas Gift!

    Wife told me she wasn't getting me a pipe this year as I purchased 12 on my own. This was waiting for me under the tree! It's my sixth Savinelli, they're by far my favorite mass produced pipe brand and thus own is no exception. Great little smoker! Hope you all had a great holiday season and a...

    But What Pipe Shall I Use?!

    so as I mentioned earlier, I get in some sixpence and haunted bookstore, what should put them in? They both smell completely unlike my other blends. Should I put them in my va/per pipes or what? Thanks guys!

    Sixpence Is Here!

    while I can't light it up for another hour or so, the smell when I opened the tin is AMAZING. This is my first GL Pease, cannot wait. So excited. The quality of the tobaccos used is clearly a cut above the rest...

    Post Thanksgiving Meal Smoke???

    Who's reaching for what tin in and what pipe after stuffing your face in the American Tradition? I'm not sure yet! Of my existing collection I'm thinking Irish Oak in my Paulson Canadian/pot hybrid. But tomorrow I've got 8oz of Haunted Bookstore and 2 tins of Sixpence coming in so who knows?!?!?!

    Minor TAD

    Grabbed 2 tins of the newly released Sixpence. CANT WAIT. I also ordered 8oz of Haunted Bookstore. It might actually be haunted bookSHOP but you guys know what I'm talking about. I've wanted to try it for ages, and the smokingpipes.com boys and girls made my mind up for me with the killer...

    Virginia Woods

    Ive tried several bowls of this, and I'm just not impressed. It's an okay smoke, don't get me wrong, but there's just something missing. Is it an aromatic? A straight Virginia? Who knows? I'll finish the tin and I might write a formal review, been awhile since I've done one. Apologize for any...

    Positive Thoughts Requested

    my semester is coming to an end and the stress is getting to me. I'm in the running for a scholarship and I've been beating myself up over stupid mistakes. I actually feel better just typing this... 6 weeks. Side note: squadron leader makes math homework tolerable...

    My Fellow Texans!

    St. Arnold's Brewery has released its seasonal pumpkin ale the "pumpkinator!" I cannot recommend this highly enough. I don't usually drink beer but I LOVE this stuff... Get a bottle or nine for yourselves...

    Close Bulk Match?

    My favorite tobacco is Orlik Golden Slice, I'm looking to get something in large quantity. Are there any bulks out there that come close? I tried Anniversary Kake, but the perique amount is much higher than OGS. Any recommendations? Thanks Fellas!

    Help With Storage

    I have a glass jar that held English Luxus for about a year now but it's empty. I don't plan on buying it again, anything I need to do to clean it? Does the flavor stick around? Do jars ghost? I've officially bought into this hobby hook line and sinker. Never thought I'd worry about glass jars...

    Shape Help!

    So I love my Savinelli Bing's favorite. One of the things I love about it is the length as well as the very slight bend. Does anyone know what that type of gentle bend is called? If it doesn't have a name can you guys at least mention other pipes within that style... That being said: I REALLY...
