The Quality and Value of Pipes Costing Below $96
Poor Medico's indeed, I have one Medico that I picked up amongst the first handful of pipes, it was brand new and cost me $30. To be honest it has always been one of my favourite smokers, it draws excellent, hardly clogs and sits comfortably when clenching. Last night I decided to make a...- toby67

The Quality and Value of Pipes Costing Below $96
Price is just the value you agreed to pay for the pipe. If you really look around you will find many high priced pipes for under $96 in the estate market. Of the 50+ pipes I have I have only spent over $96 on two or three. My latest acquisition was a 1950's Meer in its original case made in...- toby67

PAX Tobacco Crawl With Russ Ouellette
I'm not a fan of the tobacco's on the crawl list, however, Russ, why is it that your version of Trout Stream maintains its sweet integrity far longer than other blenders, I was taken to believe it was a formulae handed down for some time now and has versions recreated by many blenders. Out of...- toby67

Sutliff Aro's
A huge +1 for Mountain Pass, also try Loire Valley, I love it as I do Missouri Meerchaum "Great Dane". MM have introduced themselves to the tobacco with 3 blends which were blended by Russ from Pipes and Cigars. I love my Aros and the above 3 are among my top 10. Sutliff have some very nice...- toby67

New to pipes
Welcome to the forum mate, I'm glad you realise that pipe smoking is more a hobby than just simple smoking a few bowls here and there, I started out similar to you and now have 40+ pipes and 20-30 tobacco blends. If you like aromatic tobacco's, be sure to try Sutliff Private Stock - Mountain...- toby67

I Just Got a Valentine's Day Card.
Maybe it's a joke, maybe its a shy girl expressing her interest in you, maybe it's a friend of a friend. Penmanship won't tell if it's male or female. Take it as a compliment and wait to see if anyone owns up to it.- toby67

Aromatics in your rotation? With a dedicated pipe?
Try Sutliff Private Sock - Loire Valley and Mountain Pass, you won't be disappointed, the best Lane Aro I have tried thus far is TK6, I like it better than 1Q and RLP6. I agree a lot of Aro's simply don't meet their expectations and can dissapoint. Also another quality Aro is MM Great Dane, the...- toby67

Pipes with bamboo shanks
Also bamboo absorbs oils from the smoke that would over time render the bamboo better than the day it rolled off the production line as long as the steel tubing was used at the ends of the bamboo to ensure its strength. This is what I have been lead to believe after web study and talking to...- toby67
