    Pipe tamper/tool?

    How much does cosmic sell his tampers for? That is pretty awesome

    How important is the tobacco quality?

    Just listen to these guys. I wouldn't say my tastes have evolved but I bought from recommendations from the gentlemen on this sight (both aromatics and non aromatics) and liked them all.

    First Dunhill

    Mine that I bought in 2014 from Alpascia has an inner tube. It is a shell briar straight billiard with a saddle stem (Group 3). I paid about 330 for mine. Love it. Eventually I will get another one some day.

    The Biggest Tobacco Purchase You Have Made

    I have only spent about a 100 bucks. A lot of pipe tobacco for my rate.

    What's So Great About Kiribi Lighters? - We'll Tell You.

    Thanks phil and Darwin. I guess my Zippo will have to do. Oh well, I do love style of lighters though.

    What's So Great About Kiribi Lighters? - We'll Tell You.

    I might get a new lighter. I only have a zippo currently and the double opening for the flame really has me excited for a possible old style lighter that can be used outside. Sorry no pipes indoors!

    New Drink Column Kicks Off with The Old Fashioned

    I loved the article! I am going to try their Old Fashioned recipe considering it is different than mine. Mine came from a cocktail book bought from Barnes and Noble. Generally I prefer my Bourbon straight. I hate that bourbon season isn't going too well this year. Doubt I will get a...

    HH Vintage Syrian - quick question

    I love it. I am definitely a fan of it. Coupled along with Old Dark Fired and Arcadian Perique is all I would need for a longtime. That is saying a lot considering how much I love Dunhill tobaccos.

    Your favorite bourbon?

    Four Roses Single Barrel Barrel Proof, Bookers, and Old Weller Antique. Those are my go to bourbons right now. There are so many good ones out right now but I typically like bourbons at 100 proof or higher. Scotch? The Glenmorangie Ealanta is the only scotch that I loved. I am just not a...

    How to avoid rim darkening?

    Rim darkening? I actually think it brings character to the pipe, but I understand the desire for it to look perfect and new.

    Favorite Bourbon Whiskey?

    @Scurvydog-- At a bourbon tasting they had the whole line of Four Roses products. There is not a bad bottle in the whole bunch. Jim Rutledge is truly the master of his craft. I would strongly recommend Four Roses to anybody. Surprising since Seagrams almost killed the brand. On a side...

    Favorite Bourbon Whiskey?

    I seem some people naming Jim Beam Black Label, but I am a little worried since it is going No Age Statement (was aged 8 years over the white label 4 years). My personal favorite right now is Smooth Ambler Old Scout 10 year. I have also enjoyed Barterhouse (definitely shows that some bourbon...
