    Looking for Non-Aromatic Recommendations:

    Some easy-going non-aromatics that won’t knock your socks off with nicotine would be: PS 301 Natural Dutch Cavendish Rattrays Old Gowrie C&D Pegasus Another great tobacco, which is technically an aromatic, is Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic. It sort of bridges the gap between non-aromatic and...

    Savinelli Prices

    I was the one who made the post about Savinelli Punto Oro pipes. Had they gone up a mere 20%, I likely wouldn’t have even posted. They went from $209 to $331.91 (each price with a 5% SP discount). This is a 59% increase in price. Peterson pipes also had a 10%-15% price increase on SP a...

    I'm Starting a Blog About Antique Pipes.

    That was very entertaining. Thank you for sharing. The stem-work was really something to behold.

    AI Is Out To Destroy Your Pipes!

    Before AI, I wasn't the best writer or anything, but I could get by. Now, thanks to hard work, dedication, and Chat GPT, I just graduated with a doctorate from Stanford University. I am also mentally retarded.

    To restore or not restore

    I would just replace the fittings, clean it out, and light it up. The stem is acrylic so I wouldn't use alcohol on it. Just use a dull knife or a Czech tool scooper to gently scrape out any cake.

    Wish I Knew

    Yeah I’ve done this many times, but I usually remember what was in the pipe. I’m only ever smoking a few blends at a time so it’s easy to narrow things down. If I pop a tin, I smoke through it before popping another one.

    Aromatics are Not for the Pipe-Smoker

    Most pipe tobaccos are cased in some form and the line between aromatic and non-aromatic can blur with certain blends, at least in my opinion. As someone that came to pipe smoking by way of cigarettes, I tend to smoke non-aromatic blends. My wife much prefers the room notes of non-aromatic...

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2025?***

    Thanks man. It’s the only pipe that I own that my wife has ever felt compelled to hold and inspect because she thought it looked so cool. This is the same pipe in Dec 2023 around when I first got it.

    Jim Talks About Comic Books.

    I watched this and it was great. You are an incredible story teller. I loved the bit about your friend asking if you would walk on his sore back. LOL.

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2025?***

    I broke in a new Savinelli second yesterday. It’s unstamped other than the Savinelli logo on the underside. It has a vulcanite stem and it’s clearly the 626 shape, which happens to be my favorite.

    Someone's Trying to Lure Me Back

    Considering the millions of people in the western world that have shifted from tailor-made cigarettes to RYO due to taxes, I’m sure the RYO crowd is larger than the pipe-smoking crowd by an order of magnitude.
