    New Meer Pipe from Ahmet, and some information about meer pipe

    Actually this is not really a new pipe, just relatively new in my collection. Back to the day when there was a meerschaum pipe company (name started with S), the owner liked to say his meerschaum was coming from a special village and was better than other meerschaum. Believe me or not, that...

    Pipe Holder... How About This?

    I have heard many people mentioning a nice pipe holder is very expensive. Have anyone thought about using a test tube holder as a pipe holder? With a little or even no modification, this test tube holder should be able to work as a nice pipe holder. The price for this test tube holder is...

    Need some helps about the tobaccoreviews.com

    So..... Since I don't really like the taste of Lakatia (at least at this moment...), I should look for "weaker taste" instead of "weaker strength". Am I correct?

    Need some helps about the tobaccoreviews.com

    When I am searching/reading the posts on tobaccoreviews.com, I always have some confusions on the different between "taste" and "strength". Actually are they related to each other or they are describing things that are totally different? Can someone use the H&H "Larry's Blend" and McClelland...

    Calling all internet shoppers!

    +1 piperl12 very nice point indeed.... I have heard people complaining about the black finish even for the Peterson Ebony. They claimed that the black paint caused the wood of the pipe not able to "breath". And I believe in that (from the experience of playing bass guitar). One more thing...

    Calling all internet shoppers!

    I have not read all the replies. If my reply is the same as someone else, please forgive me. First of all, have you tried searching "bent dublin" on smokingpipes.com and pipesandcigars.com? I think having more targets will be easier for the experts (not me) to help you. All I know (according...
