    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    Two Petersons currently in the collection. The first one pictured is a Dracula. The second is a Mark Twain previously owned by the late, great Buddy Winemuller of the Chesapeake Pipe Club. Buddy was like a second grandfather to me. One of the nicest guys I’ve ever met and all you had to do...

    Show Us Your American Made Pipes

    I have (2) American made pipes currently and they are among my best smokers! The first one pictured is a Bertram 125 made by the long extinct Washington DC shop. They graded their pipes numerically and to this day, I have never seen one graded higher than this 125. It has the most open draw...

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

    Enjoying a beautiful evening on the deck with some GH Black Irish XXX in a Savinelli Estella (316EX). Don’t smoke this one too often, but was in the mood to sip some Bulleit bourbon and this is just about the best thing to pair with this tobacco, aside from a cigar!

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

    Enjoying a lovely morning on the deck with a 50/50 blend of GH Dark Plug/Old Dark Fired in a Bertram (125). Have allowed the little ones some deck time this morning. Pictured below is Wolfie, who so far, is behaving himself and hasn’t yet attempted to climb the screen lol! A cup of Jamaican...

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

    Enjoying the last evening of my 10 day Spring Break with some Gawith Hoggarth Dark Flake unscented in a Stanwell Golden Danish. Not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow, but I feel like I made the most of the break and with getting Easter Monday off, at least it’s a shortened work week!

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

    Enjoying a birthday pipe on the deck this chilly morning with the space heater cranking. It’s 2017 Gawith Hoggarth Dark Plug in a Charatan Authentic. My parents gifted me a pound of Peaberry Blue Mountain coffee, so I am enjoying a cup fresh from the French press. Looking forward to a great...

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

    Well, tomorrow I will turn the ripe old age of 43, so celebrating with a cigar on the deck this evening. It’s a Rocky Patel Sumatra paired with a 5 yr old glass of Oskar Blues barrel aged Ten Fidy imperial stout. A little John Coltrane on the Bluetooth speaker is rounding things out nicely!

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

    Happy St Patrick’s Day! Enjoying some aged MacBaren ODF on the deck with a good cup of coffee fresh from the French press. That is Archie in the background. He is a Maine coon/tabby mix that we rescued as a stray several yrs ago. He has turned out to be the best cat we’ve ever had and he...

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

    The work week is over and I’m out on the deck enjoying well aged MacBaren ODF in a Charatan’s Make (Authentic). A glass of Von Trapp’s Pilsner on the side and some Ray Charles on the Bluetooth speaker.

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

    Enjoying another beautiful evening on the deck with more of the well aged MacBaren ODF in a GBD Conquest pedigree. A little decaf coffee on the side and currently mellowing out to some Wes Montgomery on the Bluetooth speaker

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

    Evening gents, Enjoying a beautiful 70 degree evening out on the deck smoking 2014 MacBaren Old Dark Fired in my trusty Estella 316EX. A little Bulleit Bourbon on the side is pairing nicely with the well aged ODF! Love when the weather starts to break and these evenings on the deck become...

    Show us Your Best Smoker

    My Bertram (125). One of the highest graded Bertram’s I’ve seen! It has the most unbelievable open draw out of any pipe I’ve ever owned. It feels like I don’t even have to put any effort into drawling when I smoke it! Picked up a Bertram (80) prince shape a few years back, and it also has a...

    Show Off Your Kaywoodie Pipes

    Here’s my “drinkless” Kaywoodie (8782), likely late 30’s/early 40’s. This pipe has a particular sentimental value to me, as it was featured in the save-a-date that my wife and I sent out back in 2014 when we announced our engagement!

    How Long Have You Smoked a Pipe?

    Celebrating 15 years this year of pipe smoking. Wandered into my local shop (Main St Cigar) in January of 2009, bought a cheap box pipe and 2 oz of 1Q, and never looked back! I am lucky to have experienced the classic old school vibe of the Faders stores in Baltimore, the camaraderie of...
