So I Bought a Cheap "Star" Lighter
It was not a lot of modifying at all, took me less than 10 minutes. And I am far from hard on my lighters, I even carried it in a belt pouch. I did mind the taste/smell of fluid when I was smoking cigarettes, but to be honest, with pipes I´ve only noticed it 5-6 times and it goes away in a few...- joecobb

So I Bought a Cheap "Star" Lighter
So when I was buying Zippo lighter fluid a month ago I picked up a Star "Zippo-style" lighter as it was only 8 bucks. I own five real Zippos and I can´t really say that I´m too happy with them. My pipe Zippo had to be sent in after about a month due to a bad hinge (would not close properly), and...- joecobb

Greetings from Norway
Thanks all! Nice to see some other scandies here too! sajgre - I can order whatever I want as long as there is no tobacco. Pipes, tools, lighters are alright, but citizens cannot import tobacco, only companies. greatdane - Well, Tiedemann is still available (afaik), but only as RYO and...- joecobb

Greetings from Norway
First - I apologize for the bad grammar in the first post. I used to be quite fluent, but haven´t written english in a long time... and I´ve had a few damn nice beers while sipping SG Black Forest tonight. Sorry, not sorry :) I would edit if I could, but time´s gone out. Borkum smoked well...- joecobb

Greetings from Norway
My name is Bjorn, a relatively new pipe smoker from Norway. My first real experience with pipes was about 10 or 11 years ago in college with a friend. I had a pipe from my late grandfather (unknown make, might post a picture to see if anyone can identify it, let me know if interested) and we...- joecobb

Capstan Navy Cut Medium replacement?
I´m looking for something similar to the old Navy Cut Medium, but I have no idea when it disappeared, so I guess I need input from someone who has smoked said tobacco. I might give them a shot anyways, thanks, Mike.- joecobb

Capstan Navy Cut Medium replacement?
Well, I really want to taste the same-ish tobacco that Tolkien smoked, but alas, Capstan Navy Cut Medium is long gone. Some say Original, but I trust his son who´s said Medium. Does anyone know of something similar?- joecobb

*** What Are You Smoking?*** (January 2019)
I think there will be a lot of Samuel Gawith Black Forest in my future, I liked that one a lot, will probably write a review later. Also puffing on some Sørensen Mixture (nice aromatic), Borkum Riff (better than expected) and Nightcap (a lot milder than expected). Smoked in MM Mizzou, MM Pride...- joecobb

Which poker am I looking for?
I´m looking for a poker shaped briar pipe for travel, and preferably not with the worlds widest bowl, optimally about 18-20mm diameter. I really like the shape and size of the MM Poker, but would like this pipe to be briar, and the probably best looking poker I´ve seen so far is the SederCraft...
