    What is Your Holy Grail Pipe?

    Fruit Forward Blends?

    The Past is Never Dead ... or This Month in Pipe Smoking History

    My first clay pipe experience was a disaster. I burned my fingers and almost ripped my lip off when it got stuck to the mouthpiece. I recommend the varnished/colored tip for the mouthpiece. It was pretty cool once I got it together.

I thought the labels looked kinda cheap and handmade next to the Dunhills, etc. The B&M tobacconist steered me to the Margate as I had a tin of Royal Yacht in my hand and he...
