    Are You Purchasing More Or Less Tobacco Currently?

    I have a stash of every type, but not make and model for every tobacco. I still keep a large amount of my daily smoke and add to that stash when I can IN CASE THE BOTTOM DROPS OUT.

    How to Keep Unfinished Pipe From Browning

    Hi All, Been looking at the Peterson Burren Line. A awesome virgin briar but with a brown wood grain acrylic stem. An awesome pairing out of the box but I think I might not like it so much after the bowl browns. Brown bowl Brown stem seems to much. But the virgin white(Ish) to that stem...

    Paul's Pipe Shop and Hospital

    Whenever I go out of town, somewhat rare, I always google search for "Pipe Shops" in the area. I unfortunately only get cigarette shops selling pot pipes. If I ever have an occasion to travel to your area, I am sure I will have forgotten this post, but hope they come up on the google search. : )...

    Restored This Dr. Grabow Commodore - Pic Heavy

    Indeed to add to the rest... awesome job. You made that first one worthy of a formal night out. ; ) I once saw a used pipe for sale that had a 30year old bowl pack inside. The guy said I don't smoke and I thought it would add to the nostalgia. I said EWWWW.

    Question on Flame Grain pipes

    My preferred grain is straight or flame over birds eye for the most part. Probably the carpenter in me. If you look close at a good birds eye you can see faces ... or should I lay off the alcohol. As far as smoking I think stem material has more effect then the cut of wood. I have two Savinelli...

    Recommendations?

    I like G&H Brown flake unscented ... if I could keep it lit. A slightly aromatic tobacco is about 75% your favorite va + 25% BCa G&H Black and Brown is also slightly aromatic but very tobacco like. Those are the three I smoke when I want more tobacco less sweet.
