    trade in programs?

    You mean I should do that before shipping to smokingpipes or selling in general?

    thank you. Yeah I like EMP. Haven't tried Elizabethan yet. I think 965 was not bad too.

    Lots of awesome suggestions from everyone and I really appreciate all the help I think I’ll watch the most popular tobaccos being sold on smoking pipes and choose things from there in different categories. Excited to keep exploring!

    Never knew that’s what caused the spins. Haven’t had a problem with that though fortunately. I usually have coffee or tea or something along with the pipe though. Just part of the enjoyment.

    Learning Different Styles/Blends

    Thank you! Yeah I’m looking forward to the journey but also a little overwhelmed. Even taking about the “broader brush” for example, do I like English blends? I don’t know, what defines an English blend? What are some examples of very popular, indisputably English blends? Same question for...

    Yeah probably more mid level. Maybe a Dunhill or castello or two. Something like that.

    Learning Different Styles/Blends

    So I'm just still exploring all the different offerings out there and its a bit overwhelming. I have a hard time being able to remember which is what so I'd love to be able to create a sort of baseline to grow from. Is there a general consensus for a typical virginia/vaper/burley/oriental/etc...

    trade in programs?

    Hi all. I want to thin the herd some but it seems like cleaning, polishing, photographing, posting, messaging, negotiating, etc numerous pipes requires more time than I care to devote at the moment. Anyone have any good experience with a trade-in or commission program somewhere in particular...
