    WTB / WTT Mac Baren Stockton, Orlik Dark Stong Kentucky (01/25/25)

    I haven’t posted here in a while. I apologize if I missed a rule. Looking for the above. PM me if you have it and how much or what looking for. I have almost 1k tins in cellar so probably something you may want if trading. Edit: added a date to the thread title/Al

    Comoy’s London Pride 430

    I just got one of these in near mint condition. Anyone have a shape name for this? I’ve had a similar stummel before but wondering what it’s called. I’ll be keeping this one for sure. - P sorry for digging and old thread up but not too old. :) I can see how it is a Zulu almost but I’ve had...

    Looking for a full bent pipe

    I have plenty of full bents but my first one and one I still smoke regularly is the Savinelli 614. It’s just a solid pipe. I’ve got all price ranges and still like that one quite a bit.

    What Dye Can be Used on Briar?

    Feibing’s is certainly the go-to. A lot of stains used for guitar making are compatible too and some nice colors like vintage Amber by color tone at StewMac though a bit pricier. Of course I’m sure others have said what you need to know. Good luck with it! - Pete

    Dr. Grabow Experts Please

    Here’s some info from over at grabow collector’s forum though it doesn’t go into this type of rustication. I’ve owned 400+ Grabows and many Eldorados. They’re my favorite line overall from the brand. The rustic ones are far more rare than smooth in my experience. Anyway, I often refer to...

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2024?***

    Yeah me too. More and more. Before, I hesitated hearing so much about ‘brand tax’ etc. However, my 69 Shell Briar became one of my favorite smokers so I got another. Then another… and so on. They’re all smoking great so far. This one is my birth year which I didn’t even pay attention to so...

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2024?***

    Been really loving Pipe Force Episode 2. So far a very good blend. The rest have been ok. I like #5 as well. That along with Solani 633 VaPer, Capstan, MacLellands Nine 2 Five, and HB cake. Pipes picked up this month: a cool 78 Dunhill with Les Wood Silver Band, Castello and a Meer.

    Sun bear 2024

    Mountain Flower so far for me. Finished a tin of that and then Tupelo over last month or so and opened another Mtn Flower.

    Preferred Bowl Size For Burley Blends

    Since they often smoke a bit hot for me, I like a narrow bowl or average group 4 bowl w/ .75” or so chamber width and some depth to it. A Dunhill group 4 billiard fits perfectly for me. I have tried all shapes and it can depend… but overall I’ve settled on that width and pack a bit tight.

    Jim's Sutliff Pipe Force II Review.

    Of all the Pipe Force blends, I really like the V a lot, but II is my favorite so far. I went and got 6 more tins and smoking a bowl of it on my patio in a Dunhill i’m breaking in. It’s a nice blend.
