    What kind of tobacco?

    I will have to try that one, I really enjoy C&Ds line as a new-ish pipe smoker.

    What kind of tobacco?

    The Warped tinned tobacco has cigar leaf in it, but isn't overpowering. I'd recommend Warped: Until the End. Dark Fired Kentucky with cigar leaf, very smooth and enjoyable. Another one to consider is Tabac Manil, which is grown in a one man operation in Belgium. A unique burley that again is...

    Recent TAD order. Looking forward to some new blends.

    Just smoked my first bowl of Merry Monk. I enjoyed it quite a bit but I wouldn’t say it’s an all day smoke. The most savory blend I’ve smoked: tastes like a pork roast or mesquite with some spice and slowly turns more into an oak woodchips taste which reminds me of a wooden barrel with a hint of...

    Recent TAD order. Looking forward to some new blends.

    The tin note on the Merry monk is a savory punch to the face, holy smokes haha. Hope I like it cause I ordered two. Definitely a danger of online purchases killing time at work at 2 am. I'd forgotten half of what I bought or why I chose these leaves. Will update with some first impressions as...

    First Purchases from Blue Room Briars. Three state pipes.

    First time purchase from Blue Room Briars. I have no affiliation with them and dont even reside in the same country so try to present an honest experience. It was straightforward and fast, as well as well communicated. If they didn’t package it the day I ordered it was the next day. Came here in...

    Who Taught You to Smoke a Pipe?

    I was hacking darts and breaking hearts up until a few years ago. MrMuttnchop Piper showed me the way of the pipe. I have my great grandfathers pipe, but he was gone before I was born and didn't have any other pipe smokers in the family. Tobacco was/is very taboo for them, but that don't mattah...

    Howdy from Eastern shore, Nova Scotia

    Clan Cob Unite!

Cool Smoke, easy to clean, pretty lightweight and I think it looks great. I do enjoy briar pipes as well and have no experience with meer or clays still relatively...

    Soulless Tobacco Containers.

    I do make stickers for my jars, but I just love the details and think the growers, blenders and everyone in between deserve to be able to put their hard-earned product into something beautiful or that at least looks good, a reflection of all the moving parts coming together.

    Soulless Tobacco Containers.

    Gee thanks had no idea there might be some risk involved, now give me back my artwork! This will be going in a jar posthaste with the proper label. I can have knockoff sour patch kid weed gummies delivered to my house with no ID check in an extremely similar bright packaging to the real candy...

    I pray that this is resolved my friend and that you're in top form in short order.

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2023?***

    Well my 'weekend' has started finished my night shift this morning and just finished an after dinner bowl of Tabac Manil, which has taken over my rotation. It's punchy but not harsh. Reminds me of campfires, old books, cigars, and my grandad. Burns very well and has some complexity that I'm...

    Best customer service smokingpipes.com

    Great to hear. Looking forward to my first tobacco purchase from them, should be here in a few days. Hoping it squeaks by customs (Canada).

    Great Grandad's Pipe (Italian Briar)

    Thank you for the rapid answer! I think my best bet would be tracking down a pipe that's similar and in a much more smoke-able condition.

    Great Grandad's Pipe (Italian Briar)

    Just looking for a set of expert eyes for any special insight on what shape you'd call this, maybe a possible year of manufacture, any information would be interesting for my own enjoyment. The bowl as a decent sized crack and you can see lots of cake buildup, I've never separated the stem and...

    Howdy from Eastern shore, Nova Scotia

    Thank you, this is something I will definitely consider. I was toying with the idea of planting some tobacco seeds, and building a flue box but was a little late this year and didnt want to step on our other goal which is filling the pantry for a year's worth of preserved and fresh fruit and...
