    Churchwarden recommendations?

    Your Favorite Pipes?

    Been at this a year, and I'm trying to slow/stop the collecting at about two dozen ( :ROFLMAO: ). My favorites fall into a couple categories. My go-to faves tend to be smaller pipes because I smoke outdoors only can't easily fit long sessions into my schedule, so: a Brulor Junior Rhodesian...

    Is Wilke Having Trouble?

    I had a similar experience with my first order, finally got John on the phone, and he explained that it was becoming very difficult to source quality leaf to make his blends. I'm happy to wait, I just hope the supply situation improves, and that he's doing well otherwise!

    I'm a tea drinker, so I used tea leaves, but I can scrounge some coffee grounds from the dumpster outside of the local coffee shop. Will it help balance the blend, or will it make it too wet to smoke right away?
