    Cigarleaf.com doesn't exist anymore. Why?

    Hey guys, It's been a while since I've ordered from CigarLeaf.com. I used to order the Royal Cavendish. This is the best aromatic tobacco I have ever smoked (in my limited experience of 6 years). I was wondering if any of you knew anything about the now defunct website, know how I can get some...

    Tobacco in Tin Turning to Dust

    Most of my tobacco is in jars. I thought a tin would be fine. Guess not.

    Tobacco in Tin Turning to Dust

    I bought some McClelland Chocolate Silk in a tin a few months back and only smoke it occasionally. Each time I open the tin it looks as if the tobacco is turning to small small chips instead of staying full ribbon. I don't understand why. I don't use a filter so it becomes very easy to suck up...

    What Does Your Favorite Pipe Say About You?

    It may say I'm cheap because it's a Dr Grabow and I got it an antique store for $12 but I LOVE it. My friend says that I'm a "sixties dad".

    What is the Most Unusual Thing You've Used as a Tamper?

    A golf tee, the end of an ink pen, the flat end on the handle of a letter opener, Chapstick, a twig, pretty much anything at my disposal that will fit in the bowl. Lol

    New Spot for My Pipes and Tobacco

    Tons of antique store around where I live. If I can get my hands on something like that, you bet I'd have it too.

    New pipes for my birthday (few pics)

    Sorry guys, I've been outta town since I posted. I also think the one with the three dots is a Champion since I saw the link. It smokes ok but I also think I packed it too tightly. Haven't had a chance to smoke it again yet. Thanks for the birthday wishes.

    New pipes for my birthday (few pics)

    I celebrated my 35th birthday Sunday. I went to Alabama to celebrate with some friends and decided I wanted to check out the local B&M to find a new pipe. I walked away with two estate pipes that needed cleaning. I paid $15 for both of them. I don't know what they are. They are not marked as far...

    Fishing Pipe - Bait a concern?

    I fish a lot and I would highly recommend going with a cob. Inexpensive and just a great pipe to smoke with. I usually have a couple with me in case something happens to one, like dropping it in the water. Yup it happens!

    Packing this mother!

    Being a noob not too long ago myself, I think the 3 step method is best for newbies. The first drop a pinch in and tamp with finger with the pressure of a baby. Second, a pinch and tamp with finger with the pressure of the mother and lastly, a pinch and tamp with your finger with the pressure...
